8Bitdo Ultimate 2C Wired Controller for Windows PC and Android, with 1000Hz Polling Rate, Hall Effect Joysticks and Hall Triggers, and Remappable L4/R4 Bumpers (Purple)

This is one of the best controllers I've ever been able to use. If price is a consideration, there is simply no fair comparison or viable alternative on the market.This controller trades blows with Razer's Wolverine V3 TE and Thrustmaster's HEART controllers and barely breaks a sweat while doing it and being 1/5 the price. This gamepad is more comfortable than the Razer Wolverine V3 and it has a better layout than the Thrustmaster HEART.The mechamembrane face buttons found on the Wolverine V3 are better than the face buttons on the Ultimate 2C. Full stop. Everything else though, I prefer the ultimate 2c. Including the shoulder button shape and placement, the extra shoulder buttons' shape size and placement, the shape and "pull" of the triggers, and the overall controller shape are all superior on the 8bitdo Ultimate 2c. For my hands at least.I really like the thrustmaster heart controller but it's missing those 2 extra shoulder buttons next to lb and rb. If Thrustmaster adds these extra shoulder buttons, it'll take the top spot for best PC controller but alas. The Heart has better face buttons, triggers, and a more comfortable shape than the Ultimate 2C. I would prefer the Thrustmaster heart but the absence of the 2 extra shoulder buttons has become a deal breaker since using the ultimate 2c and wolverine v3 TEThe ultimate 2C has the best Dpad out of all three controllers. Its crazy to think that a well balanced membrane dpad actually feels better and is easier to use than either mechanical dpad found on these competing gamepads.The Ultimate 2C handles 1000hz polling better than razer. It's laughable.The ultimate 2C simply punches leagues above its weight class and outshines controllers 5 times its cost. Opt for the wireless version of this remote and you have something more fully features than either remote mentioned. There is no viable alternative to this gamepad outside of the Razer Wolverine V3. Thrustmaster must add the extra shoulder buttons but i hope that's all they update on the HEART controller.If you need a gamepad for PC, get this one.

My old X-Box controller started giving drift, so I bought the green 8Bitdo controller as a replacement. I use this to play Minecraft Dungeons on a PC. Very easy setup: It worked right out of the box, without any issues. I just hooked it up and could immediately start playing. It's been a week since I have been using it and it replaced the old controller very well. I am now hoping that the Hall effect joystick would not give any drift. I am very pleased with the purchase.

It's a great device for my PC. I love that it's wired - no batteries needed. It is easy to set up and use. Good quality, though it seems very light in the hand, probably because there are no batteries. Useful for games and Luna games on PC.

Buttons feel good, sticks feel good, a little heavy for a wired controller with no battery (wireless controller must weigh as much as an elephant), triggers feel good, after hooking up to a Windows PC a few times because it refused to recognize the controller and neither would my Linux install and then updating firmware my Linux and Windows Install recognized it with no problems, does not work with the Xbox One (didn't expect it), does not work with the Controllify Minecraft mod, but works flawlessly with Steam Linux and Steam Windows. Could not get it to work with an Android 13 phone. 8BitDo could you make the Ultimate 3C just work like a standard wired Xbox controller and keep the rest of it the same?

Ordered to replace a retropad with a bad cord, use for playing emulated retro games and Steam games. I have larger hands but dislike bulky controllers, and this fits the bill nicely. Not too small, not too big, a bit smaller than an Xbox controller. Cord is also just right, not too short but also not so long as to have an excess trailing and tangling up.The cord plugs in securely and I appreciate it being modular and not hardwired. Since it's wired latency hasn't been an issue. The texture of the controller feels nice and provides the right amount of grip without feeling uncomfortable. D pad is excellent like most 8bitdo controllers. Coloring is lighter than I was expecting but still a nice shade of purple. I was concerned the remappable r/l4 buttons might be tucked in to close to the lb and rb and would lead to accidental pressing but they feel well placed and it hasn't been an issue. Overall very pleased with the controller and may purchase more for a spare and for family.

Just got this today and so far so good. Very fluid controls and perfectly happy with the function. The one gripe I have about it so far is the color. It's supposed to be this warm peach/coral color with pastel yellow/beige buttons and it is more like just a pale pink with slightly off white buttons. This difference probably wont be noticeable to most, though, unless they are like me and can tell slight color variances easily. Still looks nice just not what I was expecting.

Like some others have noted, controller works perfectly until it doesn't. Bought this on January 8th of 2025 and as of April 24th (last night) the left bumper has stopped responding completely. It isn't a software issue, have tried several games and on several computers. Really a shame, the controller is great and the compatibility (running on Linux through Steam) is great, but the hardware seems to be less than reliable.I emailed their support, will update this if they respond.

Good quality for the money. Feels more solid than the official Xbox controller I have. Hall effect sticks are great for longevity purposes, and the color looks nice too!
