Una potencia de controlador (Review ES - US)
En tĂ©rminos de comodidad, el control es ergonĂłmicamente cĂłmodo, sin embargo, se puede llegar a sentir algo pequeño, es solo acostumbrarse. Sin embargo, una vez superado ese obstáculo, el controlador se siente completamente natural en las manos.Con los joysticks la sensaciĂłn es buena y funcionan bien, tiene la cantidad adecuada de resistencia para proporcionar un excelente control en los juegos de disparos en primera persona, pero encontrĂ© que los 'clics' de ambos eran un poco rĂgidos para mi gusto. Se sienten algo toscos al presionar, puede que solo sea cuestiĂłn de "adaptarse" con el tiempo.Se puede conectar el controlador a travĂ©s de la base a su PC o consola, y dejar que se encargue tanto de la carga como de la conexiĂłn inalámbrica, o puede sacar el dongle USB de 2.4Ghz de la base y conectarlo por separado. Sin embargo, dejar la base enchufada puede ser más conveniente, ya que tambiĂ©n enciende y apaga el controlador, lo que brinda una experiencia perfecta al usar el dispositivo.La conexiĂłn Bluetooth funciona bien, la conexiĂłn es fácil y sencilla además de brindar una buna latencia a la hora dejugar.El software 8Bitdo Ultimate es liviano, amigable con los recursos y no requiere ejecutarse en segundo plano (o incluso instalarse), ya que almacena toda la configuraciĂłn como un perfil en el propio controlador.ConclusiĂłn: Comprarlo es una gran opciĂłn, la mejor relaciĂłn calidad precio del mercado, además de las mĂşltiples opciones de uso.In terms of comfort, the controller is ergonomically comfortable, however, it can feel a bit small, it's just a matter of getting used to it. However, once you get over that hurdle, the controller feels completely natural in the hands.With the joysticks the feel is good and they work well, it has the right amount of resistance to provide excellent control in first person shooter games, but I found the 'clicks' on both to be a little stiff for my liking. They feel a bit clunky when pressing, it may just be a matter of 'getting used to it' over time.You can connect the controller via the dock to your PC or console, and let it handle both charging and wireless, or you can take the 2.4Ghz USB dongle out of the dock and plug it in separately. However, leaving the dock plugged in may be more convenient, as it also turns the controller on and off, providing a seamless experience when using the device.The Bluetooth connection works well, the connection is easy and simple as well as providing good latency when playing.The 8Bitdo Ultimate software is lightweight, resource friendly and does not need to be run in the background (or even installed), as it stores all settings as a profile on the controller itself.Conclusion: Buying it is a great option, the best value for money on the market, in addition to the multiple usage options.

Wireless is possible indeed, with a catch
So far, so good. To add on to what a previous reviewer said, the Mayflash Magic X does indeed work paired with the included dongle in PC mode with your Xbox. Granted, this is an extra cost.But I've found that programming the back paddles is still possible, I just did it through my phone.Only downside I've found so far with this is that a wired headset will not work when plugged into the controller. This makes logical sense, since you're using the PC mode as a workaround and there would be other ways to hook up a headset to PC.This might all seem a little silly, but it's a decent deal for me. You get a pro controller setup in a classic color (if you get the jade) with hall effect sticks.I suppose if you didn't wanna go through all the trouble and the added cost of the extra adapter, you might as well get a SCUF for $200+

Jade Style
I'm so happy, it finally came after all my wait :DAfter my Xbox controller got drift I decided to buy a new one, but I thought about getting drift again. So I looked up for a good hall effect controller. 8bitdo ultimate 3-mode was my choice (to play on my xbox and some games on PC and android), I was about to buy the black one, but I saw the jade version, I fell in love xD

Potential Trigger Vibration Issue
TLDR: Trigger Vibration does not act like Xbox controllers when using on PC, deal breaker if you need it for racing games like Forza. Otherwise, great controller.Update!!! 8bitdo Support asked me to update the Firmware again and then recommended I request a replacement after that didn't work. Got the replacement, updated the firmware and tried it out both wired and wireless, and the trigger vibration still doesn't perform the way it should. I noticed in the Ultimate Software when testing trigger vibration that holding the right trigger would have it vibrate for a long period before it stops, while the left one would stop vibrating after about 2 seconds, and then the timing would shorten and shorten unless I let it sit for a few seconds. I wonder if the vibration motors are overheating or something. Either way, returning replacement and getting my money back.I own multiple 8bitdo controllers at this point and love their products. I have the Pro 2, the black Ultimate Bluetooth for my Switch, and the purple Ultimate 2.4G for PC, so there wasn't much of a reason to get another version of the Ultimate. That was until they announced that the Xbox controllers have trigger vibration, which is a feature that is incredibly important to me. I play a lot of Forza Motorsport on my laptop and I play with ABS off. If the brakes lock up when braking hard, the official Xbox controller's trigger vibration would come on and let me know to apply less pressure, and I could use this to adjust braking mid-corner. I can't play without this feature, so my only options until now was an official controller, which suffer from stick snapback, or the FlyDigi Vader 3 Pro, which is my current daily driver when playing Forza. When I found out this controller offered trigger vibration, I was super excited and decided to get one when the money was available. Opening the box, the controller was beautiful and had a nice weight thanks to the trigger motors, and the provided cable was a solid 10 feet which was a nice inclusion for the people that will be playing on Xbox consoles. After a full battery charge, I installed the version of the Ultimate Software exclusively for the Xbox controllers, and updated the firmware to the most recent version. When booting up Forza and hitting the track, I noticed that the trigger vibration would come on when I would start locking up the brakes, but if I reduced trigger input and then applied more to adjust my steering angle, the trigger wouldn't vibrate even at full brake lock. I have no idea if this is part of the design of the controller and isn't meant to be truly simulating the Xbox's trigger vibration, or if my controller is just faulty out of the box. I have tried it both plugged in and wireless, and the mode doesn't appear to change how it functions. I have emailed 8bitdo Customer Support and hope to get answers, and I will update this review accordingly. Other than the trigger vibration, the new Dpad and bumpers feel very nice over the older models, but I haven't given them a full test to see how they actually read inputs. If you don't have a version of the Ultimate or play exclusively on Xbox and don't need the trigger vibration, I can highly recommend this controller if you don't mind being hardwired to your Xbox or not having Bluetooth for PC connection. For me, the triggers are a deal breaker. I will be returning the controller unless 8bitdo support has some form of fix that I can do myself. I will be returning to my Vader 3 Pro for the time being. Thanks for reading all the way through if you did, and sorry for the rambling.

Best PC controller for casual use.
The best wireless controller option for PC imo. Charge on dock while not in use, instant connection when removed from the dock, and instant disconnection when placed back on dock. I own 2 of these.

The Cable Port Broke Within 3 Months of Use
Bought this controller January 22, 2025 and it broke today which is April 11, 2025 (where the cable connects). I have to mannually hold the cable up for the controller to actually stay connected but once I let go of the cable, it disconnects. Overall, it is a good controller other than the port breaking in just 3 months.
