One of the best 3rd party controllers for guests

- Reviewed in the United States on April 2, 2025Style: Ultimate ControllerColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseI have always been a fan of 8-Bitdo and their controllers. This one is one of the best ones that I have used as of late. It works wonderfully with the Nintendo Switch, with only a few issues connecting in the years that I have had it. I like the fact that it has a charging base that also houses the dongle for connecting on more devices. The holding start and shaking to wake the switch is a lovely feature. My only complaint is with the grippy texture on the back of the controller, the white one. Is that it can get a little dirty and is harder to clean with that texture. Otherwise no drift, connects wonderfully, and has always been reliable.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 3, 2024Style: Ultimate ControllerColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseJust bought a new OLED Switch mainly for playing on the TV (my son already owned a Switch Lite) and all I can say is WOW! Been gaming for decades and I have to say, this has got to be the absolute best controller I have ever bought so far. You can tell the first time you touch it it's amazing and super high quality. Had no problem connecting to my Switch, I did enable the pro controller wired communication in the Switch settings first as a commenter suggested, don't know if that made a difference or not. It connected no problem first time. I've only played with it one night and so far no connection issues. The charging base and built in batteries mean no fiddling with changing power cells, just pick up the controller and play, put it back on the charger when done. Seemed a bit pricey at first but this really is a case (and it pains me to say it) of "You get what you pay for" which isn't always true. If you own a Switch and are looking for a good wireless game pad I would say this IS the controller. Folks say it's better then the Licensed Pro Controller which I haven't handled, but I can't see anything being better than this 8Bitdo at least in the case of the Switch. Best part, it is both Bluetooth AND 2.4Ghz Wireless (coming with a dongle for 2.4Ghz) via a switch on the backside of the controller making is great for PC as well. Motion controls feel the same as those on the Joycons. Got the white one to match my Switch, my setup looks amazing with the Switch in the cradle and the controller next to it on the charging stand. This was a great purchase.
- Reviewed in the United States on March 8, 2025Style: Ultimate ControllerColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseReally great controller. Feels good in the hands, nice weight, very responsive, no input lag. I plugged the dock into my PC and it just works. No drivers to install, no configuration necessary, just plug and play. The 8bitdo software is super slick and remapping buttons or creating controller profiles is easy as pie. Very happy with my purchase.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 24, 2024Style: Ultimate ControllerColor: BlackVerified PurchaseI bought my 8BitDo controller last July, six months ago. In that time period it has become my favorite controller on the Switch.
It's quality. It doesn't feel cheap or overly-light, and the buttons and joysticks feel solid. There is no risk of your joysticks drifting, like with a Switch Pro. It's hardy, as well; I've had a few instances of the controller accidentally falling off a table onto a hard floor, or one of the kids stepping on it, and the controller hasn't malfunctioned at all.
The kinds of games I primarily play are Smash Bros. Ultimate and Hades, though I'll also play games like Mario Kart and Mario Party with the family. This controller works fantastically with all of those games; in particular the controller has been wonderful in Elite Smash, being very responsive with virtually no noticeable latency issues.
On top of all that, it just feels good to hold. I'm told that people with very large hands may struggle with this controller, as it is slightly smaller than a Smash Pro controller, but I'm inclined to think that most people will prefer the size and feel of an 8BitDo controller (unless you just happen to have unusually large hands). And the charging station was a great addition, as well.
All in all, this was what I was looking for in a controller. In my opinion, it is the best controller you can buy for the Switch.
EDIT: My pet rabbit gnawed the joystick off of my controller, so I ordered a new one here. I was stunned to find that the joysticks drifted, right out of the box. This was meant to not be possible with these controllers. I have no idea how this has happened, but I'm pissed.

5.0 out of 5 stars Excelente control
Style: Ultimate ControllerColor: BlackVerified PurchaseMuy buen control, lo uso para jugar en PC y en Switch y es muy cómodo solo tener que mover el switch de la parte de atrás para cambiar el modo, además con la base de carga, no me quedo sin batería nunca.
Los gatillos son muy suaves, y los joysticks son muy cómodos y no se resbalan, en generale el control tiene una calidad de construcción muy buena, tal vez el D-Pad podría mejorar, pero considerando todas las funciones que tiene el control, lo recomiendo al 100%.
El único inconveniente es que al jugar en PC, hay que configurar los botones A, B, X y Y ya que tienen la plantilla para Switch que tiene estas letras al revés, por lo que por defecto la B será la A, la X la Y y así, pero nada que una configuración rápida no arregle antes de jugar, y ya hecho esto te olvidas.

5.0 out of 5 stars Controller di qualità per Nintendo Switch e PC
Style: Ultimate ControllerColor: WhiteVerified PurchaseIl controller è tra i migliori che abbia mai posseduto. Plastica solida e feedback dei tasti ottimo, completamente configurabile tramite il software:
semplice mappatura dei tasti (inoltre presenta due tasti dorsali abbastanza comodi), regolazione delle zone morte interne ed esterne delle levette, regolazione della pressione necessaria all'attivazione dei grilletti, configurazione di macro. Insomma, completo su tutti i fronti.
Offre anche la possibilità di avere 3 profili configurabili in modo completamente diverso, con la possibilità di passare da uno all'altro alla semplice pressione di un tasto.
L'ergonomia è molto buona, probabilmente se fosse leggermente più bombata la parte del grip sarebbe stata migliore.
Non sono mai riuscito a scaricare completamente il controller in una sessione di gioco, quindi direi che la batteria abbia una buona durata effettiva.
Lo stand integrato è il tocco di classe, in questo modo il controller sarà sempre carico tra una sessione e l'altra di gioco, inoltre è decisamente più comodo rispetto all'ennesimo cavo di caricabatterie che va attaccato e staccato in continuazione.
Notare che ha il layout di tasti della Nintendo Switch.
Come ultima cosa, presenta due possibili modalità di connessione, tramite Bluetooth o con il dongle usb, la modalità si può cambiare tramite lo switch nella parte posteriore del controller.
Tra le due modalità non ho in realtà notato alcuna differenza, teoricamente il dongle dovrebbe garantire una latenza minore, ma nemmeno in modalità Bluetooth ho notato alcun tipo di input lag.
Complessivamente questo è decisamente un controller di qualità.
