8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller for Android devices, Bluetooth Mobile Game Controller with Hall Effect Joysticks and Hall Triggers (Black)

I've owned 8BitDo products before. Those were of excellent quality and function, but this controller? More of the same. A lot more. First, the unboxing. The packaging is nothing terribly fancy - nothing like, say, the absolutely extravagant experience of a ROG Phone 8 - but it is well-presented. Remove the slipcover and slide off the top and the controller is presented front and center within a clear baggie. The charging cable and minimalist documentation lay just under a thin tray. Next, build quality. This thing is put together very well and feels even better. It's all plastic, but the plastic is thick and durable-feeling; it gives off Xbox controller vibes (vibes amplified by my chosen white colorway). The hall-effect triggers and sticks (which ARE, in fact, held up on metal stems) are snappy and give just the right amount of resistance. The d-pad doesnt wobble and has adequate give. The face buttons feel good - again, think Xbox controller. The shoulder and back buttons are my only complaint, and its a small thing. The shoulders are very clicks, but they don't travel far. The back buttons are a bit easy to hit, but careful finger training can alleviate this. Finally, the telescoping - its so smooth. Glides apart easily, and gently snaps back to normal length. Finally, function. This controller is Bluetooth, which might turn some people off but I assure you - its just as responsive as a wired controller. I tested this on multiple emulators, including Dolphin and NetherSX2 and response was very similar to a console controller. There are also some handy features - the ability to digitally hot-swap the face buttons is a literal game-changer. In terms of negatives, there are few. The fit is one of them. Dont get me wrong, its fine - my S25 Ultra fit well inside a slim Spigen case, but I often had to push one end into place. It helps that there is a small lip near the front of the cradle, but I worry that larger cases might slip out. Finally, accessory availability is an issue. There are really no carry cases or grip cases made for this. It's a small thing, but I travel with a pretty loaded day bag and I'd rather the thing not get damaged bopping around in it. Overall, this is an excellent and - oh, right - AFFORDABLE mobile controller. It's made very well and functions very similarly to a console controller - kindle days feels like one, too. Do t let the Bluetooth connectivity throw you off - this thing will keep you gaming for a while.

I bought this on impulse on pre-order, got it, connected it to my Pixel 8, used it once, and then found I didn't really know what I had purchased it for exactly. So I ended up putting it away for a while. I've never connected it to my PC or looked for any updates. I upgraded my phone to the Pixel 9, and then Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown was ported to mobile, and it looked amazing. Charged this up, connected to my phone, loaded up the trial, completed the trial, bought the game, found a new travel companion in this controller. It's rock solid, I've noticed no lag, and this game is unforgiving on missed inputs but it's keeping up like it's wired. However, a few things of note: I don't have particularly large hands, but I noticed with the weight of the phone in the holder, it wears on your hands and makes it a little hard to get to the face buttons without accidentally jogging the right analog stick. This is more likely after some play time. Finding a position to sit it that takes some of the weight off my hands helped, and it's completely possible to simply use a stand for the phone and use the controller without the weight. I don't completely understand if I have an issue or not, but when I plug it in to charge, it looks like the controller powers on, and can stay on after I unplug it. This has led to several occasions I turn it on for the first time that day and it's at 85% battery instead of 100. I've found I can manually turn it off after taking it off the charger, which I think is odd behavior. I'm going to look for firmware updates today. I'm reading in other reviews that samsung phones with google keyboards are having trouble with this; all I can say is it's not exclusively the google keyboard, as that's standard on the Pixels and I have zero lag with this controller so far. I've made no changes or tweaks to my phone to get this controller to work, it just does.

I'm very surprised at how well this this controller is made. The controller is very responsive. I use an Google pixel 7 pro and wit fits my phone perfectly. I do have to remove my case but it's a simple thing to remove. Buttons are great except for the LB/RB. They are very clicky. Other than that the rest are very responsive little to no Lag. Connectivity was quick and easy. Just find the name of the controller on Bluetooth and it's setup. There is an app that you can download that gives you extra little features like displaying the battery life(helpful). There is a remapping tool if you want to take advantage of the back paddle buttons which can only be mapped the face buttons and directional. Just for reference I use it to play steam games using steam link.

I picked this up to pair with my Motorola Android phone (about 6.7" screen), and it works surprisingly well. The controller stretches to fit the phone snugly—even with a case on—and I’ve had zero issues with it slipping out. The soft-touch rubber backing helps keep everything secure and scratch-free. Pairing via Bluetooth was easy, and I’ve had no problem remapping the buttons in different emulators or gaming apps. Everything from the triggers to the face buttons works as expected. It’s not quite the build quality of something like an Xbox controller, but it’s lightweight and super portable—perfect for tossing in a bag without thinking twice. USB-C charging is convenient, and battery life hasn’t been an issue for me (I usually charge it after each session anyway). My only real complaints are the lack of a headphone jack which would’ve been nice, as it's bluetooth it would have been possible but could have increased the price. Overall, it’s a solid product for the price. If you’re looking to turn your phone into a gaming handheld without spending a fortune, this gets the job done.

So I saw a few reports of this controller causing issues when used alongside Gboard, decided to take a chance on it because of the price and knowing 8bitdos other controllers are nice. At first I was having intermittent lag issues, but those have all gone since updating to the One UI 7 beta. I'm guessing whatever was causing the issue has been fixed in android 15? Now it's working absolutely flawlessly. Just thought it would be handy to know if anyone is looking at getting one of these. It's a great controller, really comfortable to hold. It's basically a 8bitdo ultimate controller that splits in half.

iPhone15 pro(iOS18.6.2)でも使用できました 操作感、持ち心地共に良く、非常にクオリティは高いです

Conoscevo già il marchio sia per i prodotti esteticamente desiderabilissimi, sia per aver già comprato un controller cablato di ottima qualità. Anche in questo caso la qualità costruttiva è palpabile. Davvero carino. Lo uso con un telefono molto economico e non ho notato lag con il collegamento bluetooth.

Ürünü aldım 3 gündür kullanıyorum ama bataryası ölü geldi şarj talimatlarına uymama rağmen ürünün web sitesinde yazdığı gibi 13 saat gitmiyor toplamda 3,5 saat kadar gitti. Titreşim özelliği de yok.
