Very good value, cord, buttons, sticks, appearance. Great D-pad.
Feels very nice. I have not had it for long so I don’t know how it performs long term but because of the price tag I honestly don’t care if something goes wrong after a year or two of use. When that happens with my premium priced elite controller we have an issue. That is why I sought out something cheaper but still of good quality after my last controller broke down. I’m very happy with it.The buttons and sticks feel good.Its size is not quite as big as a standard Xbox controller, or at least the elite one but I personally like that.In terms of input latency, well it opened my eyes to the fact that the controller I had been using actually had issues with input latency, so its good in that department.The cord it comes with is good quality.The D-Pad.I consider the d-pad an important part of the controller. I play a fair bit of platformers and some 2d fighters (yes I prefer the d-pad to the sticks) so I like a nice D-Pad. This one is amazing actually. Far better than a standard Xbox or PlayStation controller, but not nearly as good as the elites circular d-pad (no one seems to have a fair priced controller with a similar d-pad). I bought another model from this company because i heard the dpad was good but its really not. This one is, so if you are concerned about that its a solid, clicky, and fairly accurate dpad.This model in particular also looks very nice. I haven’t played wukong but I liked the way this one looked and it was on a slight sale I think.

Well-built, feature-packed gamepad which also works flawlessly in Linux
Feel: The game pad feels very solid in its body, and all of the buttons feel sturdy but light weight. All of the buttons and triggers have great tactile feedback. All the buttons have nice clicks, including the D-pad.Features: This game pad has rumble which does a nice job providing different “textures” for different actions in games. You can switch it between X and D input modes by holding down the X or B buttons while plugging it into USB. This version of the controller allows you to remap all of the buttons in hardware, using the controller itself, if you wish to do so. It also has a turbo feature for those who want that. The “hall effect” joysticks have zero dead zones, I couldn’t push the stick even the tiniest distance without seeing the movement register on-screen. However, the “hall effect” triggers do have small dead zones when starting to pull them back, but that’s actually an improvement over other 8bitdo controllers. When they’re too sensitive, and start operating upon the slightest movement, you often accidentally press them while just resting your fingers on the triggers, so I’m glad they fixed this problem with the Ultimate 2C. The game pad uses a USB-C port instead of the hard-wired Ultimate C controller, allowing you to change out the cable at any point in case your cable gets damaged. It comes with a C-to-A cable, so you could also replace it with a C-to-C cable if you wanted to, which you can’t do with the Ultimate C.OS Compatibility: In Linux, unlike the Ultimate C controller which had a few buttons that needed to be remapped no matter if in X or D modes, at least in the games I tried, this one had all the buttons mapped perfectly out-of-the-box while in the default X mode. The rumble feature and everything else also all work flawlessly in games out-of-the-box, so I would guess if you have some other OS that it should work equally as well there too.Conclusion: This Ultimate 2C controller is a great update to the Ultimate C with little enhancements all over that make it even more awesome. Without factoring in the price, this is an excellent controller which I’d rank among the best out there, even better than most of them for me because most of them have no wired and battery-less options like this does. But after factoring in the price as well, this controller beats everything else easily, so I absolutely have no choice but to give it 5/5 stars. The only way to make it better is additional color options, but I do like the ones they have so far. 8bitdo has done an excellent job with this game pad!

A Really Decent Budget Controller
It’s a nice controller, especially for the price! The face buttons, while not mechanical, are very tactile and responsive. The shoulder buttons are crisp and the triggers feel good. The material the controller is made out has a grippy texture that feels nice in the hands. The sticks are crisp and the L4 and R4 buttons are handy, especially being able to remap them without needing software.

nice little controller!
All my xbox controllers have died on me so i was in need of a new controller. I seen this posted in a server and decided to pick it up. i was suipriesd with the quality of it. it works great and feels nice. although i will say Ive accidentally pressed the star button on accident and activated the auto mode. i have no issues connecting it with steam and works with every game so far overall happy with this controller!

Five Stars or even more
It is simply spectacular. What impresses me most is its compatibility: it works seamlessly on Linux, macOS (using Android mode), and Nintendo Switch (using Windows mode), making it super versatile for any platform. In terms of comfort, it’s one of the best controllers I’ve tried; it fits perfectly in the hand and feels very ergonomic for long gaming sessions. The d-pad is another gem: it’s extremely precise and responds impeccably, which is crucial for fighting games where every move counts. Definitely an investment worth every penny for gamers seeking quality, precision, and broad compatibility. Five stars without a doubt.

One of the Best Third-Party Controllers Out There
This is one of the best quality third-party controllers I’ve ever owned at one of the cheapest prices I’ve ever paid. Pay attention to the model numbers and their compatibilities because it’s easy to confuse the different but mostly similar-looking models. It was pretty straightforward plug-n-play. If I had to name a con, it would be that the bumper buttons can be a bit clicky, but even then, it’s a great buy for the price. No complaints.

This controller is an absolute gem! The lilac purple finish is gorgeous and unique — it adds a pop of color to my setup without feeling childish. The design is sleek, lightweight, and very comfortable to hold, even during long gaming sessions.The buttons and joysticks feel precise and responsive, with no input lag. The triggers have a nice resistance, and the D-pad is excellent for retro-style games. It really feels like a high-quality controller at a very reasonable price point.I’ve tested it across devices — Windows PC, Steam Deck, and Android — and it works seamlessly. Plug-and-play is effortless, and the compatibility makes it versatile enough to be my go-to for nearly everything.The wired connection is rock-solid with no dropouts, and the cable length is generous enough for couch gaming. Plus, it’s great not having to worry about batteries or charging.Overall, the 8Bitdo Ultimate C Wired Controller is stylish, reliable, and incredibly comfortable. Whether you’re gaming on PC, handheld, or emulators, this controller delivers smooth performance and a premium feel. Highly recommended!

Great low-cost controller option for PC. With hall effect sticks that won’t drift, and responsive feeling buttons. The best wired controller that I’ve used.

It’s hard to rate controllers considering it takes some usage before noticing things like bad buttons or sticks. I’ve owned several MS XBOX-controllers and a couple of PDP that had the same issues with buttons losing function or sticks that started to “stick” or drift. But so far this controller feels much more solid and reliable.

Il controller che arriva a casa è esattamente quello mostrato in foto. Nessuna brutta sorpresa per quanto riguarda estetica e qualità costruttiva: sono molto sorpreso, in positivo, del rapporto qualità/prezzoHo provato qualche gioco e sono più che soddisfatto dalle prestazioni e dal comfort. Il controller è anche molto leggero ma senza dare l’impressione di fragilità e risparmio.Faccio presente che uso un sistema operativo Linux e pur non essendo ufficialmente supportato da questo Ultimate 2C sono riuscito ad usarlo senza il minimo problema: collegato e riconosciuto alla prima. Vista la varietà del mondo Linux però non posso garantire che sarà così indolore per tutti, comunque sappiate che si può fare.Se proprio devo trovare un difetto (ma proprio se devo) segnalo la vibrazione un po’ troppo rumorosa.In definitiva per un prezzo che non raggiunge la soglia psicologica dei 20€ lo consiglio senza riserve.

Das ist ohne Zweifel der BESTE Controller, den man für unter 30 Euro finden kann. Die Hall-Effekt-Joysticks sind revolutionär – absolut flüssig und präzise ohne Drift. Alle Tasten fühlen sich unglaublich taktil und reaktionsschnell an, was das Spielen zu einer wahren Freude macht.Die Verarbeitungsqualität ist für den Preis überraschend solide. Ich habe mir den blauen und den pinken geholt, und beide sehen fantastisch aus. Ein wirklich nettes Detail ist, dass das mitgelieferte USB-C-Ladekabel farblich auf den Controller abgestimmt ist!Die Verbindung mit meinem PC ist super schnell und zuverlässig, und der Wechsel zu Bluetooth, um ihn mit meinem Tablet zu verwenden, ist nahtlos. Er liegt auch bei langen Gaming-Sessions super in der Hand. Ich kann diesen Controller nur wärmstens empfehlen – er schlägt teurere Optionen um Längen.
