Customers are mixed about the quality of the video game controller. Some mention it's a fantastic controller, with nice analog triggers and control sticks. However, others say it'd be perfect for switch users, but it'll be unresponsive and faulty. The turbo modes hardly work, and the controller provides a big lack of flexibility.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
A few extra nice features are that the dock and controller feel very well built; the docks is super easy to use and looks pretty sweet with its light up feature; you can store the 2.4 GH adaptor in the bottom of the dock; you get three separate profiles each with customizable button mapping, stick dead-zones, trigger dead-zones, macros, etcetera; the software is really easy to use; and the unboxing experience is great.
There are a few cons though, number one being comfort. It feels decent, and it's definitely not uncomfortable, but at the same time it's not as conforming as the Switch Pro (which is heaven in the hand) or an Xbox controller. You also cannot use the back buttons, macros, or any other customization without downloading software to your computer and wiring your controller to it.
My final verdict is that it is pretty sweet controller. If you are looking to never deal with joy-con drift again and get some nice bonus features (back buttons and macros) and upgraded essentials (sticks and motion controls) I think the tradeoffs (slightly less comfort) are absolutely worth it. Only people who I would not recommend this to are people who are really looking for comfort due to hours long gaming sessions, although to be fair I have not experimented with this quite yet so I'm not sure if it would really be that bad.
(Update: so actually, I tested the sticks a bit compared to my one non-drifting pro-controller stick and I don't think it's more accurate; it might actually be less accurate. I'm not sure if this is due to the tension being tighter and me not being used to it or the stick itself, but just something to keep in mind. It's still pretty darn good though, way better than a joy con and definitely better than dealing with drift. Plus, it's the Switch so having the most accurate sticks in the world aren't going to do much good on say competitive FPSs that run at 30 fps and 780p. Gyro controls I still think are better than the official pro controller though.)
1. Docking station for charging. I have 2 of these and it would be nice if they could make a multi dock, but still very compact and simple to have on my tv cabinet.
2 integrated 2.4 GHZ receiver. Tried to do 4 controllers over Bluetooth alone and the lag is bananas. Each controller needs its own 2.4GHz receiver and each controller comes with one, so its perfect. No lag.
3. Bluetooth option. I'm primarily PC based but it is nice to have the BT option for Android devices or a Switch. BT connection is required for the motion controls to work so if you get the 'regular' version of the Ultimate you won't have access to BT or motion controls.
4. button profiles. Nice to switch on the fly from the Switch layout to the Xbox/PC layout. Have not found a game that can use the back buttons yet though. For PC it seems like everything is designed around the Xbox controller to games don't even know those buttons exist. Also note the stick technology difference between BT Ultimate Controller and 'regular' Ultimate controller. The BT one uses the Hall version, so less likely to get drift as time goes on.
5. feels great for use. Comfortable for long sessions, great battery life.
Cons:
1. Updating when there is more than one 8bitdo device attached. With 2 controllers and 2 2.4GHz adapters connected at the same time, the update software has a bit of trouble navigating which device you want to work with. Best to connect only one device to the PC at a time for this. Same for button customization, or use the Android app. Button customization is held on the controller, so it does not matter what program does the customization. Window sizing on the app is pain too, does not seem to scale nicely and you have the move the window around to get at all the buttons.
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.

Pode ser atualizado, customizado e funciona com praticamente todas as funcionalidades do comando orignal (exceto NFC).
Tem os analógicos com hall effect pelo que é mais duradouro e fiável que o comando original da Nintendo.
