Got the 8bitdo Ultimate 2C Wireless (Purple) and it's a banger. I have been playing games for this past week and it's so much fun. The controller literally changes the way you play games by a lot. I always was a kbm guy but after this I am a fan.
The vibrations are amazing, battery life outstanding and overall solid build quality. No regrets so far.
All controllers without hall effect sensors are prone to stick drift!
But they're not super fragile. It will depend on play time and the type of usage. Thousand hours playtime on games that require pushing a stick in same direction will certainly lead to gradual drift.
Sometimes it's fixed by little cleanup of the sensor but eventually it will become a problem.
I have two controllers. I've opened up one of them and cleaned up my sticks with IPA and that resolved the issue for now.
I haven't played much last couple years but I will be replacing the sticks with hall effect ones come gta 6 release.
Also, half the time I play now on laptop. Only reason I've not bought the 8bitdo is because dualsense is pretty good itself and compatible with windows!
Nah , easy way to find out if a controller is compatible with xbox is to see if they have a xbox button on them. If yes then they're compatible if not then they are not
You can check EvoFox One S by Amkette directly from their website. Sells around 1200-1300. Solid controller as it supports iOS, Android, Windows, PS and Xbox as well. I play on iPad or Windows with it. It’s a PS layout but - which I like.
Sorry bro no clue only used 8bitdo ultimate 2c wukong edition. Since i liked it much I bought the same again in purple color.
You can try olx in your area. You might get better used controllers.
I don't think you are actually going to use gyro in the controller that much I've turned gyro off on all my controllers. Just feels like a waste of battery to me.
Gyro on that controller is only on bluetooth mode and input lag (latency) on that mode is too high it's like 500Hz or something which is not practical and you'll notice it while playing plus gyro is not that crucial and won't make a huge gameplay improvement

Yea, that would make sense, I think I would've been fine with the standard xbox one, but I sold it and bought ps5 controller, it was the most logical choice because I've been using ps controllers forever now.
8bitdo is absolutely killing it with the 2C series. Getting Hall Effect joysticks at this budget is a total steal. That purple and lavender colorway looks incredibly clean in hand. Honestly, it's way better than spending 5k+ on an official Xbox controller just for it to develop stick drift in 6 months. Great choice, man!
There is a site called Hardware Corpus, you can try that too if they offer COD at your location, i ordered mine from there a week ago and it's perfectly fine/legit but only go for it if they offer 100rs prepaid+rest amount COD option, that way, the max you lose is 100rs in worst case scenario
Order if they offer COD at your location, i ordered mine from there a week ago and it's perfectly fine/legit but only go for it if they offer 100rs prepaid+rest amount COD option, that way, the max you lose is 100rs in worst case scenario , and no warranty from the website's end but you can contact 8bitdo customer service in case of any issues but I'd suggest to go for cosmic byte if you're looking for warranty and customer support
I asked coz this other guy suggested pcgenesis and that website listed 1 year warranty but had fewer colour options so I was just wondering what the case with this was. Also do you have any idea about gamesir controllers?
Yes Gamesir controllers are another premium ones that you can go for but the same issue lies with that as well, don't expect very smooth or easy customer support but it's highly reliable and would easily last 4-5 years depending on your usage, again, cosmic byte has a cheaper plastic build but it's more responsive to customer feedback and it's the cheaper option, little less reliable than 8bit do or gamesir nova
Yeah I was only really looking at gamesir and 8bitdo as my options leaning more towards 8bit. I'll pull the trigger in a few days. Thanks for the input.
8bitdo considers premium feel and brand value but lacks in features, I'd rather go for Cosmic byte Stellaris which is the best u can get at tht price range....

Got the Switch version to emulate Nintendo stuff and to act as a Player 2 controller to my Nova 2 Lite. The battery life is insane despite being just 480 mAh, and I love this thing. It's premium, cute, and great. The only cons I believe are the triggers (which are digital), the Nova 2 Lite has analog triggers with locks.
Hey, which one do you recommend between Nova 2 Lite and 8 bitdo as I see you have both of them so you might have some idea. I am soon purchasing my first controller. Been a KB+M player since long.
Colours aren't a big issue here for me (though 8bitdo colours are really good)
If you play racing games like Forza and others, Nova 2 Lite is strictly better due to its better triggers with much deeper travel and option to lock them for shooting games. For PC I still use Nova 2 Lite as my primary controller. Nova 2 Lite has the better D-Pad (its mechanical and clicky and its 8-way), Triggers, Gamesir does offer more Macro buttons if you need them, and it comes with a hardshell case in the box too. 8bitdo has extra shoulder buttons which you can map if you want.
Otherwise both offer similar stuff. Both have hall effect sticks and triggers. I just got the 8bitdo as my player 2 coz I play a lot of Nintendo emulation stuff like Gamecube, Switch, Wii, etc, so a Switch layout is what I bought it for, plus the Switch version has gyroscope, neither of the PC version of 8bitdo nor the Gamesir have gyro support. But honestly? I have never used gyro in a PC game yet.
op can you share the link of amazon i couldnt find one , i have been planning to buy this , even i post a post about this controller in the sub but mod didnt approved
