Compatible with Switch 2 after Firmware Update
Nintendo had the audacity to charge $85 for their Switch 2 Pro Controller. The Ultimate 2C does everything (save for one thing) that the Pro Controller can do, at less than half the price!Do note, in order to use this controller with the Switch 2, you will have to install a firmware update from 8BitDo to update compatibility. It's quick and very straightforward. I'm sure in the future, these controllers will ship with that update already installed, and the one I got had been sitting in a warehouse before the update had been made.Also note that you will not be able to power on your Switch 2 directly from this controller, you'll still have to hit the power button on the console.

Amazing Controller
I bought this controller for my girlfriend months ago and it’s her absolute favorite controller. It’s comfortable, a great price for a controller, has hall effect, and is purely bluetooth compatible (no dongle to lose). I’ve always loved this brand, and I highly recommend it. I personally have the regular (Ultimate C) version of this controller as well as the SM30 pro, but I would recommend this one over the regular. The controller’s joysticks are the standard size, so it’s compatible with any joystick grips used for Xbox or PlayStation.

Great controller, Bad ergonomics
This controller is great, and I have no major complaints about its functionality, material, buttons, sticks and the appearance. However, the deal breaker for me is that its not comfortable in the hands. My hands are not HUGE, but I definitely wear L sized gloves, and my hand is about 8+" from palm to tips. This controllers feels ergonomically set up for someone with small-medium sized hands. I feel like I have to strain my wrists in order press triggers and buttons. Furthermore, the lack of outward angle on the handles makes me feel like I have to squeeze my elbows in to hold it. This isn't comfortable for me either because I have fairly broad shoulders. Basically what im getting at is if you have above average sized shoulders and/or hands, you probably won't find this controller comfortable. I went with a Flydigi Direwolf 3 and this thing immediately feels 5X more comfortable. It has the exact ergonomics of an xbox controller which is something I've also found great. If this controller had the body of an xbox controller and that was the only thing changed I would 100% keep it. But unfortunately I can't.

amazing for the value!
great controller! i wanted a pro switch controller for the longest, but i couldn't justify the price - so glad i went with this one! joysticks are smooth, my only complaint is the YXAB buttons are a little “hard” and the typeface is ugly lol. comfy to hold for long term use and holds the charge for several hours, would def purchase again if i ever need to!

Switch 2 Compatible with easy firmware update!
Read the other reviews for details on how the controller actually works -- I've been an 8bitdo fan for years and they're great controllers -- but this is just to say that this controller is 100% switch 2 compatible with a very easy firmware update. All you have to do is go to their support website, find this controller, and then download their updater. It's both Mac and PC compatible (seriously that's such a perk for me) and it took maybe 5 mins tops from downloading the updater to playing mariokart with it on my new switch 2. Worth every penny and I'll be even more of a brand loyalist forever now!

Definitely worth it for adults.
Great. I love that the sticks are taller.You have to turn on vibration on the Nintendo switch.The only thing I wish they did is add a higher capacity battery.

Solid Build and Great Battery Life – Just Needs a Better Grip
I’ve been using the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller (Blue) for a few weeks now, and overall, it’s an excellent piece of hardware. The build quality feels solid and premium, especially for the price. The buttons, refined D-pad, and hall effect joysticks are super responsive, and the 6-axis motion control and rumble work seamlessly with the Switch.One of the biggest positives for me has been the battery life—it lasts much longer than I expected on a single charge. I can game for days without needing to plug it in, which is a huge plus.That said, the one downside is the texture of the outer shell. It’s not uncomfortable, but it does feel a bit slick, especially during long sessions. I really wish 8BitDo offered a silicone sleeve or grip cover to improve the tactile feel and help with grip. It would make the controller perfect.All in all, it’s a great controller with impressive performance and endurance, especially at this price point. With just a bit of added attention to ergonomics or accessories, it would be unbeatable.
