8BitDo Ultimate C 2.4G

Hasn't let me down yet. Registers as an Xbox controller when wireless so a lot of things are compatible with it

8BitDo Ultimate C 2.4G

Really well-built controller, in my opinion equally as good as than the original Xbox ones. I only wish it was available in other colors, green and lilac just stand out too much. Plain black or some softer colors would be nice.

For my use case, being a simple controller that does all the basics well, it’s perfect for that and at a wonderful price point. I like that it needs a receiver because it’s easier for me to just pick up and play, and for the steam deck (with a dock), it’s perfect. Thank you so much!

The controllers (ultimate C 2.4G) are comfortable and very easy to set up and use compared to Bluetooth controllers (at least on a Windows HTPC). The latency is minimal and the range is good enough in a medium-large room. The controllers do randomly turn off every half hour or so, and will occasionally start rumbling and never stop until another rumble is commanded. This is far less of a pain than fighting with Bluetooth pairing in windows, however so I’d still recommend them over anything else I’ve tried up to this point. I’ve used Xbox One (USB-C) controllers as well as the Steam Controller. I slightly prefer the D-pad of the Xbox controller to the 8BitDo, but everything else feels pretty comparable.
