8Bitdo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller for Switch & Switch 2, Wireless Controller with 6-Axis Motion Control, Rumble Vibration, Refined D-Pad and Bumpers, and Hall Effect Joysticks (Blue)

Feels lovely to hold. Very comfortable for long gaming sessions and has a real premium plastic texture. All the buttons press nicely and not noisy. Holds charge well. Works great with the original Nintendo Switch - connected seamlessly and even wakes the Switch so saves getting off the sofa to turn it on! Really impressed - my friend has now purchased one too!

Top quality switch and also switch 2 pro controller at a fraction of the price of the official switch pro controller. It has hall effect joysticks which means that you will never experience drift on these sticks. The buttons feel great on the face and I like the shoulder buttons. This controller also has 2 remappable buttons next to the shoulder buttons that are in a natural place when in your hands, I thought they looked awkward in the photos but they are in a perfect place for me. The star button on the front also allows you to turn any of the face or shoulder buttons into turbo or auto turbo buttons. I read one of the reviews above mine that says you cannot wake the console with the controller. There is a very easy way to wake the switch up with the controller once you have paired it the first time. Once paired you hold the home button for a couple of seconds to turn on the controller and then you "shake to wake" the switch 👍 Very good controller that has rumble, 6 axis motion controls, hall effect joysticks, rechargeable battery, mappable and turbo buttons. Only things removed from it are NFC, HD rumble, and IR camera(which the switch pro also lacks) I am editing this review to say that after a firmware update this controller can also be used on the switch 2 adding even more value if you are looking to upgrade to a switch 2 further down the line 😁 Well worth the money and a very reputable company for third party controllers

Excellent quality as usual from 8bitdo. Really ergonomic, comfortable, smooth and compatible with both switch 1 and 2.

A typically solid controller by 8bitDo, but if you’re looking to use this on the Switch 2 you’ll probably need to run a firmware update on it for it to work at all. You can install 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2 on your PC or Mac to do this, if you don’t the controller will not be detected by the console.

I owned the original Ultimate C pad, for the PC 2.4ghz version. I was really impressed with the pad, build quality, feel and use in game so now I needed a Bluetooth controller for my Switch 2 I looked to the same pad. This new Ultimate 2C is just as good, smooth on the front, textured on the back for a nice grippy feel, 2 extra shoulder buttons if you want and a nice battery that last a decent time. This controller totally blows anything within the price range out of the water and is no doubt just as good as pads a lot more expensive. 8bitdo have only gotten better with time and now offer unbelievable value for money with the Ultimate 2C controllers.

Bought this for a Switch 2. It came with the latest (Switch 2 friendly) firmware so I didn't have to upgrade that. Confusingly, it doesn't seem to 'connect' properly when it's plugged into the Switch dock but as soon as I unplugged it, it worked fine. Probably user error on my part. Feels like a Pro Controller in the hand, but with hall effect sticks. Bonus. Will certainly buy another for more players in the best future.

Do not buy. Does not update for switch 2. Checked with 8bitdo. provided me with two manual updates and two different instructions. Neither worked. They gave me an option. ship it by freight back to china. Apparently Amazon dont have anything to do with it either. Both are awful

Fantastic piece of kit for the price and just for the record as of 11/1/26 it does wake up the switch 2, you can do this via a firmware update but I didn't even need to do that as my u it was shipped with the latest firmware. Literally a quarter of the price of the official Nintendo unit.

Der Controller liegt richtig gut in der Hand und fühlt sich auch bei längeren Sessions angenehm an. Die Tasten haben einen guten Druckpunkt und insgesamt wirkt alles sauber verarbeitet. Der Akku ist super – ich muss deutlich seltener laden als erwartet, was im Alltag echt praktisch ist. Was mir besonders gefällt: Der Controller funktioniert problemlos an allen Geräten, die ich ausprobiert habe – PC, Laptop und natürlich an der Switch. Verbinden ging schnell und ohne Gefummel. Das Design ist natürlich Geschmackssache, aber ich finde es völlig okay und unaufdringlich. Kein Highlight, aber definitiv nichts, was stört. Fazit: Ein richtig solider Controller mit guter Akkulaufzeit und breiter Kompatibilität. Für den Preis absolut empfehlenswert. 🎮

Flawless feels really premium pairs perfectly with my switch 2. No noticeable latency was if you don’t make me not having the wake feature save yourself a lot of money over the pro controller

Switchでの使用を目的に購入しました。一番の決め手は「ホール効果ジョイスティック」搭載であること。長年悩まされたドリフト現象の心配がなく、操作が驚くほど滑らかで感動しました。 機能面もさることながら、実物を見て一番気に入ったのはデザインです。いい歳のおじさんが言うのも変ですが、このブルーの色味が本当に可愛い！デスクにあるだけで少し気分が上がります（笑）。 握り心地や振動の質感も良く、この価格でこの完成度は凄いです。機能も見た目も妥協したくない人におすすめします。

Pad bardzo dobrze współpracuje z Nintendo Switch 2. Jest dobrze wykonany,porównywalnie do pasa od Xboxa. Kto się zastanawia to warto. Nie ma co przepłacać za Pro Contlorer do Switcha.

Después de usarlo durante más de una semana puedo decir que es cómodo de manejar, es suave y aergonómico, compatible con la switch 2 y con un color precioso.
