8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Controller - Chongyun

Works as advertised premium feel

This controller beats all expectations, the only personal error is I didn't read up that it wasn't switch compatible so know that before you buy. Otherwise steam deck and computer wise it works great.

Overall, it is a fine controller for the cost, but there are definite some corners cut when compared to even non-elite Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft controlles:
- The controller does not disconnect correctly after the game program is closed. Takes a while for it to fully dosconneyso that it can be charged on the provided stand properly.
- The cross directional pad is mushy and inaccurate. Often detects as wrong adjacent direction. For example, pressing down being read as down-left or down-right.
- I'm not sure, but there doesn't seem to be a way to check the battery charge level.
- The left stick squeaks when pushed up and moved around the upper 90 degree arc (between up-left and up-right range)

I do like the controller, however the D-Pad is immensely loud to use! I actively use my other controller as it isn't as loud so have delegated it to player 2 for this reason

good
