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.

One of the best 3rd party controllers for guests
4 Stars
One of the best 3rd party controllers for guests
Out of all of 8bitdo's offerings I think this is their best bang for your buck and takes almost everything they learned from the faults and wants of the SN30 Pro to the Pro 2 and created a nearly perfect "pro" controller for the Switch and PC. The inclusion of a 2.4 Dongle and Dock really makes this a hard package to pass. I haven’t really had much experience with 2.4 dongles but it's been really convenient to just leave the usb in a hub or dock and just pick up and play with the controller without needing to sync or wait for the Bluetooth to connect. The controller it self looks slick and not too big. The Dpad out all the 8bitdo controllers i own, is one of thier better ones. I dont know if they finally fixed thier quality control or what but this dpad is actually accurate to the praise people would say about 8bitdos previous pads unlike some of thier controllers i own. I even opened the controller up took the pad out and back in and it works just as good, something i cant say about the 8bitdo controllers i had to take apart (and a side note this dpad is a differtent make than say a Pro 2 so you cant interchange them)(Another side note but disassembly is eaiser now too). Buttons feel good and the new hall effect thumbstick feel very smooth. The addtions from the Pro 2 like the ultimate software, mode switch toggle and profiles return and are very welcomed. But theres a big issue along with some small stuff i have that bring this controller down so now here come some of my complaints.Despite all the plus sides and features of this controller I don't think it will ever replace my regularly used controllers like my Xbox One or PS4 and PS5 controller. It’s mostly due to the form factor. The controller in small burst doesn't seem to bad but for longer sessions (more than 40mins) my hands start to feel bad using it. I pretty sure it's due to the handles of the controller being angled more inward instead of slightly outwards like the Xbox One and Switch Pro Controller. Specifically when I have to press buttons like A (Switch) it feels awkward to do.Another gripe I have is that the dongle only works for the d input mode and not the Switch mode. It's not a huge deal to me since I mostly used this controller for PC games but it would have been nice to not have to reconnect for Bluetooth if you plan on using the controller on more than one device.Unlike the back buttons and profile switch feature, a removable battery is not included and is just built in which is a shame cause if the controller battery goes bad your just gonna have to get a new one instead just getting a pack of double a's or a replacement pack.Some small things I wanted to mention, 1st there's still no amiibo/nfc support which is not horrible but the Gulikit Controllers do so it'd be nice to have it here too (especially since this version is advertised for the Switch). 2ndly there is no Pink version while the 2.4hrz has a pink varrient I sort of get why but seems a bit odd imoOverall this is certainly 8bitdo's most feature rich controller, a neat option if your looking for a PC/Switch controller that offers more features than your average 1st Party controller and dont already have multiple controllers. However, the form factor really hurts this controller for me to the point I only see this controller as a novelty/set dressing compared to an 1st party Xbox or Switch Controller. It's great as a guest controller since it's smaller than most similarly sized controllers and the 2.4 dongle makes it quick and easy to pick up and use wireleslly.I kind of hope 8bitdo do a mold/model update to this controller with a better form factor cause I really did want to like this controller despite preferring symmetrical thumbstick layout for controllers. I really like that this looks more like an originally designed controller instead of just being a SNES controller but with handles slapped on (though i wouldnt mind a M30 but with handles and analouge sticks, an M30 Pro).Plus I wish 8bitdo did more color options like they used to do, I get that these controllers cost more than something like the n30 sf30 but the wired options are cheaper. I think it wouldn't be too bad of an idea to offer more colors for the wired options. Most controllers already come in black or white, it would set thier controllers apart more from others and even add more reasons to buy them.

I bought this for three reasons: one, the hall effect joysticks due to having 3 pairs of joysticks and an official pro controller become unusable due to drift; two, the two back buttons which are really handy, and three, the motion controls. It absolutely delivers on all these fronts. The sticks are insanely accurate and smooth, the back buttons are super comfortable, and the motion controls are simply incredible. On three fronts this thing destroys the official Switch Pro.
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.)

Pros:
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.

I 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.

El control llegó bien, llegó en tiempo, pero casi al final de la fecha límite. Al abrir la caja en la que venía el control, el control tenía un poco de polvo o como residuos de tela, como si lo ubieran limpiado con un trapo o algo, pero se quitó fácil y el control estaba en buen estado, no estaba dañado ni nada. El control llegó sin batería, pero después de unos minutos funcionaba bien y responde bien. Cumple con todo lo que promete en terminos de calidad, resistencia y funciones. Recomendado totalmente.

Again 8BitDo delivers quality items. This one is well designed from the controller itself all the way thru the holder. The only downside? They must bring it out in different colors then only black or white. But that's a personally opinion :)
