Solid Performance On a Budget
I picked up this controller to replace an aging DualShock 4 I’d been using with my PC since I both prefer the Xbox form factor and I kept running into compatibility issues with the DS4 I couldn’t be bothered to solve with 3rd party software.Packaging:The controller is well packaged though not “premium” insofar as it doesn’t include a carry case or any additional accessories such as thumbstick top replacements. However, it is securely packaged and does include a 1 month free trial of Xbox GamePass Ultimate ($20 value) which is a nice touch. The included USB-C cable is color matched, well constructed, and plenty long enough to be routed to the back of my PC while still allowing for ample slack.Initial Impressions:The controller is solidly built and reasonably light in hand without feeling cheap. There was some minor friction squeak at the top of the travel on the left thumbstick. Some rotation back and forth at the problem spot seems to have removed whatever residue or irregularity was causing the issue though.As advertised the thumb sticks and triggers are hall effect. They are smooth, and adjustment in Steam allows the thumb sticks to have effectively no dead zone. Other than one issue with the triggers (detailed below) I think they feel and perform admirably.It should be noted that the actual color of the controller body is considerably lighter than the product pictures indicate. Whereas the images show a darker forest green the controller body is primarily more of a sage green with darker forest green buttons. I do not mind this, but it is something to point out as these images are official from 8BitDo, and it also appears darker on their website than it is in person.Lighting:This will be to each person’s taste. There is no RGB “cycle”, or single color “pulse/breathe” as is commonly seen on other RGB products. You basically have a number of set colors within three modes (plus off). Two of the three modes (‘Rainbow Ring’ and ‘Light-tracing’) can have their brightness set on a per-color basis with an automatic memory function so they do not have to be set every time the controller is turned on. The ‘Fire Ring’ mode cannot have its brightness decreased, but you can control the speed of the circling contrast color for each of the available preset options.If the controller is left idle it will cycle your set color on and off in about a 1-2 second cadence. This can be distracting, so you may want to just turn the lighting off entirely when not in use.Software:The software for this controller does not provide any ability to customize lighting, remap buttons, or assign macros. The only functionality is to update the controller’s firmware. Given that remapping can typically be done via Steam or in games I am not very concerned with this.Issues:Other than the aforementioned thumbstick squeak which resolved quickly I have encountered two issues. Of the two, I was able to resolve one myself.Issue 1 (resolved): Triggers did not initially register as analogI noticed when testing the controller in Steam that the triggers were only registering their max value about halfway through their travel. There was no progression of input value which indicated that their function may only be digital rather than analog. After research and contacting 8BitDo support I managed to resolve it by entering calibration mode and actuating the triggers. After doing this I checked again in Steam, and it appears to be working correctly.Issue 2 (unresolved): Controller does not turn on unless manually unplugged and plugged back inI noticed this after restarting my PC and then pressing the Xbox button to turn the controller on. It would not wake, and necessitated unplugging the USB C from the controller and plugging it back in. After that, it functioned fine. This is a minor annoyance in my opinion but if the USB-C port fails prematurely from this process as indicated by some reviews then I will amend my review.Final thoughts:This is a decent quality controller for the price point. If you are looking for wireless functionality or deeper customization this will not suit your needs. However, for my use case it works almost perfectly. Time will tell if it is also durable. If not: I may seek out other options. Be sure to update the firmware then calibrate both the thumb sticks and triggers before use.

Pretty awesome
Theres not too much to say about it, other than its awesome. Size wise and just general overall feel, especially the sticks and triggers its reminicent of a ps3 controller. The d pad is odd. Its like kinda mushy but its clicky at the same time. I like a more mushy d pad and im not huge on the clicky ones but i like this one. The led fire rings are cool, they react to button presses and everything. So far i like it. I will update if anything changes. Also it can be calibrated through software if it ever gets stick drift. Also update the firmware. No regrets. Get it.One month update: fan freakin tastic. Looks good still. Works pretty good. Headset mic is hit or miss thru the plug on the controller but other than that its good. Hasnt let me down yet. Still reccomend.UPDATE IIstill working good. broke in nicely. sticks smoothed out. feels nice in the hand, nicer than any other controller ive ever owned. dont regret buying still. the cream colored backing can start looking a bit rough after a while but im sure it cleans off. the controller is fantastic. i still dont regret. i reccomended this to several people already (but yk how people are). the purple setting on the fire rings somehow lost some of its adjustability????? they only have 2 light modes now on all settings, dim and barely on now. super weird.

Best controller I’ve owned
I have been gaming since I was 6 years old, and this is the best controller I’ve ever owned. Hall effect controls are indeed superior. Trigger buttons are superb, and have a better design & feel than anything I’ve had before. Sticks are accurate & operate smoothly. The controller itself feels good in your hands. Very good design.

I was a single day from making a 5 star review 🙁
[Edit: In the time that this review was being uploaded, I managed to find a fix. I had to enter the stick calibration mode by holding LB+RB+View+Menu until the Xbox button blinks, but instead of calibrating the sticks, you have to press the triggers. Then, upon exiting the calibration (by holding the same buttons again), the triggers should work like normal again. This was an annoying experience, and I was a day from returning it. Now that I’ve had it for a few more days, I’d like to note some changes I’ve already noticed with the controller. On the first day of owning it, I noticed that one trigger felt slightly grainy when pressing, hinting that they didn’t lubricate it enough. Then, after a few days, I noticed the right stick is slightly looser when moving from the center position. Call it break in, but I don’t see it holding up well for competitive play, which, for me personally, this shape doesn’t work well for. It’s a great casual controller and is very aesthetically pleasing. The durability of the sticks and triggers is debatable, but I’m still keeping it for casual play or when I want to play 360 games on the Xbox.]Long story short, I loved this controller for the few days it worked for me, but unfortunately, there are some significant software bugs in this controller that I can’t seem to reverse.I was looking at YouTube comments for this controller, and someone in the comments said you can hold the view+menu buttons to disable the trigger dead zones, so I tried it, and it worked, but now I can’t undo it. I tried reseting by holding start/menu and the power button, but nothing, than I held the star button that controls the light, and that did seemingly reset the controller, but it still didn’t fix the triggers. I also downloaded the software app, hoping there would be a way to reset the controller there, but to my surprise, the pc and xbox app have almost zero functionality beyond doing a firmware update. I tried the update for the heck of it, and ironically, it broke the feature it specifically said it would fix lol.I’ve been fed up with stick drift for years, this controller was really a breath of fresh air, and allowed me to play stalker 2 in its weird state, but apparently holding down two buttons can completely, irreversibly change the controller. I guess I’d recommend it, beyond those issues. It feels surprisingly premium in the hand, the vibration motors are very good, if not better than the original xbox controller, the lighting is very pleasing and offcourse the hall effect sensors are great. If I were to give some feedback on the controller:1. Don’t support button combos that irreversibly change the controller2. Increase the distance that the triggers move before bottoming out3. Don’t release updates that introduce the issue you said you fixed4. Include all button combos and methods to reset, in the manual

De muy buena calidad. Me salió con descuento, la verdad lo volvería a comprar. No le pide a uno original y sus joystick magnéticos son perfectos.

I don’t have too much to say about this controller. It works really well. I love the colour I got, which is like a kind of army color green. I love the RGB around the joysticks, it works great and I still have to look into the 8-Bit Do software or firmware update or see if there’s anything more I can do with it but even if I can’t and I can just play games with it then that’s fine! This is is better and waaaaay less expensive than the name brand controllers from Xbox in particular, or also from Sony, in a different format of course.Also best of all, no more stick-drift!

J’ai fait pas mal de marques de manette, étant un bon grand gameur depuis les années 80. Ces dernières années il y a peu de manettes “convaincantes” et quelque soit la gamme de prix. J’ai eu des chers comme des bons marchés, beaucoup ont souvent des drifts, des boutons qui coincent, certaines doivent même être hard reset régulièrement. Puis j’ai découverts 8Bitdo à cause d’un tuto américain, j’ai voulu tester et bien bravo.Certes elle est un poil plus petite qu’une manette Xbox officiel, mais ce n’est pas dérangeant (pourtant j’ai de grosses patounes), elle est basique, légère, un petit coté rgb juste autour des sticks qui rend cela discret et pas abusé ( et que l’on peut éteindre). Elle fonctionne très bien, le cable d’origine est assez long, elle est agréable à manier. Franchement pour son prix c’est vraiment du top, elle est mieux que certaines de mes manettes à 150 euros. Donc je vous conseille cette marque sans hésiter.

Der Controller funktioniert einwandfrei, im Gegensatz zu meinem Elite Series 2 Controller. Es gibt bloß zwei Dinge an dem Controller, die mir nicht so ganz gefallen:1. Die Griffe des Controllers sind ziemlich klein, sodass die Finger ein bisschen eingequetscht werden, wenn man größere Hände hat, so wie ich.2. Die Farben sind meiner Meinung nach leider nicht so schön wie beim Ultimate Mini Controller, der mir aber leider viel zu klein wäre.Insgesamt ein unglaublich guter Controller, der jeden offiziellen Xbox-Controller wie Müll aussehen lässt, schon allein, weil die Sticks keinen Drift haben und die Bumper einwandfrei funktionieren, ohne doppelte oder fehlende Eingaben wie beim Xbox Elite Series 2.
