Bad title / description saying it's only for Switch. This controller has a switch on the back to switch it's mode between Nintendo Switch, PC, Android, and Steam Deck. It's a great controller, I have used it on Windows 10 and 11 machines with RetroArch and it works good. Even got it working on Ubuntu Linux, also with RetroArch.

I got the Pro 2 because it feels more accurate with retro controllers with the left d-pad and joystick being swapped.

The 2C feels more like a modern Switch controller replacement. I got the wireless one for cheap with the $18 deal for the pink one. It's great for the price. I got the Pro 2 for retro gaming.

keep in mind the Pro 2 at least in this deal has the Nintendo style button layout vs the Xbox layout, which has the A<>B and X<>Y buttons swapped. So if you're used to the latter it'll trip you up a bit. 8bitdo has a bunch of controllers in either layout.

I bought the 8bitdo ultimate 2c for the switch 2 and is awesome. Switch 2 detected it right away. I like having my analog on top.

For the Switch specifically, both the Pro 2 and Ultimate 2c are great alternatives to the Switch Pro controller. I recently picked up the Pro 2 and it's really a great all around controller. Works with pretty much everything. I did have to update the firmware to get it to connect to the Switch 2.

As someone used to the layout of PS controllers with the D-pad and analog stick configuration, I really love these controllers. They feel good in my hands and work a treat in Windows and Android. I haven't tested them on the Switch yet, but I imagine they will work just as well there.

Depend on the layout. Since im not that retro ps1 area and not like my ps5 xbox layout, I prefer the ultimate 2c for the switch. Retro which requires a dpad. The pro would be better. Just personal preference

FYI thanks to a recent update, if you hook this controller to your pc and load up Steam, it'll recognize your controller and allows you to independently rebind the back buttons
