OK, you got me. I just pre-ordered white Bluetooth version. You can never have enough controllers, right?

Amazon says my controller is coming late. I pre-ordered mine awhile back and the original delivery date was either yesterday or today, but now it says it will be delivered between Nov. 4th and 6th. I bought the Black $70 version with bluetooth and 2.4 ghz USB connection with the Switch button layout. 2.4 ghz wireless has way less lag on PC than the 2.4 ghz wireless usb. Can't wait to use it.

I'm in the EU and the release date is 18th of November. Good that you mentioned the button layout. I doubled checked and I got the Nintendo layout. I want Xbox layout.
Edit: Shit, I don't think it's possible. I guess I'm stuck with Nintendo layout if I want these hall joysticks.

Don't want to open a new thread to ask but are there similar quality third party joy cons? I hate the small size of the original and I'd like a pair with gyro and rumble to play docked (mainly Zelda SS and Mario Galaxy). The "good" options I see are mainly for Portable play and lack these features

Yeah, I forgot the cheaper $49.95 version is missing Hall effect sticks. The XBox and Switch layout never confuse me unless I have been playing Switch for a long time over the PC. It's easy enough to adapt to it.I'm in the EU and the release date is 18th of November. Good that you mentioned the button layout. I doubled checked and I got the Nintendo layout. I want Xbox layout.

Edit-my order just updated to delivery for tomorrow. I returned my King Kong Pro 2 controller to Amazon as I just recieved it when this Ultimate was announced. I love all the extras the 8bitdo controller offer over their controller, plus I have had great luck with all their controllers in the past.

looks like a off-brand xbox one controller.

I’d recommend trying one out. 8bitdo quality is top class.

It looks more like Switch Pro controller than anything else.

But with back buttons and more customization.

True. Can’t wait to try it out. It looks so, so comfortable.

Really does. Only thing weird about it is that you have to shake the controller to turn on the Switch rather than Switch automatically coming on when you turn on the controller. No idea why.

i have some 8bitdo controllers for old consoles, and i agree the quality is good.
just commenting on this thing's looks... maybe it's the lighting, but it looks like a generic blob to me.

Got the wired version delivered to me yesterday. I like it so far. Let's see if it stands the test of time. Wired version also has rumble for anyone wondering. One complaint though is the wire is pretty damn short, like under 6ft.

I tried the 8bitdo Pro 2 with my Switch and I really didn't care for it. I went out on a limb and tried the Chinese Switch controller knock-off picture below. It isn't that bad really. Has back buttons that are programmable, but not as sophisticated as 8bitdo's program. Only thing I don't like is that you cannot set buttons to no action. I want to be able to map L3 R3 to the back buttons but I don't want L3 or R3 to still function and this won't do that. So I preorder the 8bitdo Ultimate and I'll see if I like it better. I will probably keep this knock-off either way since it is only $25.

I got mine yesterday. Played some Spider-Man: Miles Morales on PC and it feels great. Supper happy with it.

I'm using it with Switch and PC. The fact that is comes with a dongle and has bluetooth built in makes it really easy to switch between the two. I love the way the controller snaps into the charger as well. Great controller and overall great value.

Mines coming Friday. I love the pro 2 but impulse purchased this controller. If the quality is like the pro 2 then I’ll be more than happy.

Quality is seriously amazing. I'd say it's better than first party controllers. It's just a joy to use.

I'm having a hard time disagreeing with you. This may be my favorite controller overall and that includes the Elite Series 2. It just has so much packed into this controller. 2.4ghz adapter, bluetooth, charging stand and back buttons. Has awesome mapping software. I can easily use it for both PC and Switch. Build quality is fantastic. No worries about drift.
Damn thing is amazing.

I’m selling all my other controllers, including 2x Elite that I have left. This and upcoming Edge will cover all my needs.
I haven’t touched Elite since I got this bad boy.

Please allow me to go a little off-topic: are there any quality 3rd party replacement controllers for Xbox 360?

Mine just came in. Won’t be able to try it until Monday but excited to use it and compare it o the pro 2.

Cool to know this is good for pc switch. I’ll be eyeing it. I do like the HD rumble of the Switch though. It’s nice and subtle.
I thought my Pro controller was drifting while playing Hades. It was getting frustrating. I can’t seem to replicate it or see it happening in other games but I almost bought that Gulikit because of it. Then this came out and has the same sticks.

That’s very interesting, shame they can’t just get it working by turning the pad on, but better than having to turn the switch on via the tablet.

I almost got this but talked myself out of it. I don’t have a lot of controllers but a 2.4gz wireless controller for my pc would be nice. I mainly just use my dual sense on it. Also have 2 sn30 pro and the pro+ I think it’s called. And a switch pro controller and an Xbox series controller.
Do I need this one too???? Yes.

Finally picked this up in white from Amazon for £40.
Never used a pad on PC before.
I’ve set up the software to remap buttons etc. I’ve set a profile where the back paddles are LB and RB but nothing is happening in game when I press the paddles.
I know I’m missing something obvious, anyone care to point me in the right direction?

Did you sync with the controller?

Sync to device

When you change a mapping, the Sync to device button should enable. Click that and then your mappings should be saved to the controller profile.

Thanks mate, I’ll double check tonight but I thought I did hit this prior to exiting the tool.When you change a mapping, the Sync to device button should enable. Click that and then your mappings should be saved to the controller profile. Make sure that your profile selected on the controller is the same as in the software.

LTTP thread bump but I just picked one of these up from the Prime Day deals and god damn, what a controller.
I went from a primary Xbox player to a primary PC player a few months ago, and I've been using my Series controller on my PC up until getting this, and I'm super impressed.
Feels great, the charging dock is really nice, build quality is really good, and the 2.4g adapter works great on my PC. Plus the Hall Effect sticks make me confident this will last.

My favorite controller, bar none. Simply the best and I'm including the "Pro" controllers out there while this gem only costs $70. Crazy value.
