Style: Ultimate 2 Bluetooth
Color: Black
After using it for about 6 months, I can safely say that the Ultimate 2 is the best controller currently available that is in an Xbox/Switch joystick configuration. That said, there are a couple areas for improvement that I want to highlight and comparisons I want to make. Overall, for $70 it handily beats controllers that are much more expensive and even the first party ones. First I want to compare it to the Ultimate 1 for returning people. If you haven't upgraded yet, DO IT. I imagine a lot of the 4.3 overall score comes from the old one as that had many more issues, but almost all of them have been fixed. The bumpers are MUCH better, the D-pad is significantly improved, and the new features such as the extra bumper buttons and trigger stops are great. If you have the Ultimate 1 and are wondering whether this is a worthwhile upgrade, it 100% is. From here I want to highlight each of the areas of the controller in a rapid fire list • The sticks are TMR and some of the best in the market. I still think there could be improvements to the mechanicals (smoothness, snapback, longevity, etc.) but the sensors are essentially perfect. • The D-pad is now tied with the best in the market. It has an extremely tactile feel and ghost inputs (up/down registering when left/right is pressed and vice versa) are possible, but easy to notice. However, if you want something more D-pad focused, get their Pro3 instead which is my number 1 recommendation in that regard. • The bumpers are perfect, literally nothing to say. The triggers are also great, and the new trigger stops work well and use a tactile button instead of just limiting the range. However, there is a slight gap in the mechanicals that makes them feel kinda off. I actually opened mine up and filled in that gap with electrical tape and it feels WAY better but it’s something to note. • The back buttons are super comfortable in my opinion and feel great to use. It might be nice to have 4 in the future, but there’s a tradeoff for clutter. The new extra bumper buttons are absolutely amazing and something I didn’t know I needed. We are finally getting enough inputs in these locations so keeping thumbs on the sticks is actually possible. • The face buttons are… good. Nothing remarkable about them as they are membrane pad based so exactly what you’re used to in almost every other controller. • The software/features are good and easy to use. Setting up profiles and reassigning the extra buttons or using turbo on the fly is extremely simple. However, I really wish that the software allowed for assignments outside its own buttons such as mouse click or keyboard presses. This is probably the biggest downside of the controller and means that the extra buttons can’t ever actually be EXTRA and only repeat buttons which is extremely limiting. • The dock is quite handy and something I can’t imagine living without now. It’s still easy to take the dongle with you on the fly, but for a home setup, the dock is amazing. Never once had a connection issue with it either. In the end, the Ultimate 2 gets my #1 recommendation with what is currently available and I have been through A LOT of controllers. The button assignment limitations are a disappointment and some of the mechanicals could be improved, but I’m running out of things to suggest. If you want a PlayStation layout, I’d recommend their Pro3 over this. However, I’d also recommend checking out the GameSir Tarantula Pro which is different enough to warrant its own purchase and is my current favorite PlayStation layout controller.

I have been running the 8BitDo Ultimate pro controller nearly every day for over a year now, and I have loved every second of using it. The wear is minimal, although I have had to slightly decrease the sensitivity of the joysticks a couple times due to snapback. I love that it has different button profiles that I can easily switch between for different games, and the back paddles are amazing for playing competitive games. I have mine set to left and right D-pad. The customizability is completely unmatched, between the button profiles, the stick and trigger sensitivity, and the rumble strength. The dock is really sleek looking and looks nice on my deck. I haven't used the 2.4G dongle a whole lot, but from what I have used of it, it works great, just as advertised. The only thing is that the dock seems to have worn out slightly, and the battery life feels just a little bit shorter than when I first got it, but that's all very minimal, and it still works amazingly more than a year later. I have not bought the new Ultimate 2, but I plan to eventually, when this thing breaks (not likely any time soon).

Style: Ultimate Controller
Color: Black
Before getting this, I had the wired Xbox version. My particular model had somewhat sticky shoulder buttons, though I was able to fix that with some plastic lube, and that model generally doesn't have the hall effect joysticks. Otherwise, it is a fantastic controller. I thought it would be nice to have the hall effect sticks and wireless functionality, so I bought this. There's not much to be said about this that wasn't already said about that, so I'll start with what's different. Obviously this one is wireless, both 2.4G and bluetooth. When in 2.4G mode, it reads as an x-input controller, so the buttons, by default, will be swapped around. That is, your PC will read the B button as A and so on, just like an Xbox controller. You can change the buttons using the Ultimate Software if you want, but you get used to it (or you can buy replacement buttons from 8bitdo if you really care). You also get around a 250 Hz polling rate. In bluetooth mode, it will read as a Switch controller, so the buttons will actually match up and you can use the gyro functionality. However, you'll be limited to 125 Hz polling rate (or thereabouts). It has hall effect joysticks, which feel identical to regular sticks, really. But they shouldn't develop drift over time, so it's more of a future-proofing thing than anything else. I've seen where someone stated that in 2.5G/x-input mode, the sticks were not properly calibrated, but in Bluetooth mode, they are. They based this on a circularity test. The thing is, 8bitdo controllers intentionally read as non-circular because it makes certain games with axial deadzones work better. You can lower the outer deadzone to 99% if you'd rather it have perfect circularity and it's possible they did that with the Switch mode for better compatibility or something. At any rate, every 8bitdo controller I have does this, so it is intentional and should actually be beneficial in some games (while not hindering others). The buttons and triggers all feel great. Unlike the Xbox version, the shoulder buttons do not have any issues on this controller. If that changes over time, at least I know how to fix it now. The left trigger is slightly stiffer than the right for some reason, but it's not a huge deal. The face buttons are neither overly stiff nor mushy, providing a good amount of tactile feedback without making my fingers hurt after awhile. Also, unlike official Xbox controllers, these face buttons actually work 100% of the time. The d-pad feels basically the same (sorry, clicky d-pad enjoyers) and I am happy to report that it does a pretty good job of not triggering diagonals when I don't want it to. This was a big problem on their earlier controllers, but any that I have gotten more recently, including this one, have been much better. Not perfect, but close enough that it hasn't been a problem. The dock is a nice accessory. I just leave it plugged into my PC with the 2.4G dongle plugged into the bottom and that's that. There's a light on the bottom to indicate when it's charging; thankfully, it turns off when it is done. I haven't had any connectivity issues with the 2.5G mode, but I haven't messed around with bluetooth to see how that fares. There are a few small things I don't like, though. First, although it reads as an x-input controller in 2.4G mode, whether it is plugged in or wireless, it is not detected by Gamepad Tester. I'm not sure if that's an issue with the web site or with the controller, but it makes it harder to properly verify that it is working correctly. It still works fine with Steam, the Xbox PC app, and random fan games I've tested, though, so whatever. Second, I wish they would put some sort of anti-friction rings around the thumbsticks. The plastic is a bit rough there and while it may break in over time, it will never feel as premium as other controllers. Even the standard DualSense has those these days. Third, there doesn't seem to be any way to get it to work on Xbox. It isn't advertised as working with Xbox and I didn't really expect it to, but I've had some luck getting other controllers to work using my Brook 360-XB1 adapter, so I was hoping I might luck out. Nope. I can't dock them any points for that, but it's still a bummer. And finally, the cable it comes with is too short, IMO, for a PC setup. An extra couple feet would've been nice. All in all, a really excellent controller that I highly recommend. It works well and should continue to do so for a long time.
