One of the Few Controllers That's Worth the Price
The 8Bitdo Ultimate C 2.4g Wireless Controller with Turbo Function and Rumble Vibration is a game-changer that is a testament to style and functionality. It has upped my gaming experience with its exceptional build qua-- Oh, wait a moment. Sorry, I forgot I wasn't an AI. Allow me to try again. *ahem*For any game controller, there are five aspects that matter most: comfort, connectivity, battery life, durability and responsiveness. To sum up for those who want a quick review, this controller scored very high in each category. I absolutely recommend it. However, for those that wish for more details, they are offered below.Comfort (9/10) -- It is very comfortable to hold. Of the many controllers that I've held in my life, this one is comparably much more comfortable than most. The only reason that I didn't offer the highest score is because I'm certain there are people out there who will find it either too small or too big. To be fair, I'm not certain that there are any controllers that can universally offer proper comfort to every single person.Connectivity (9/10) -- The controller connected immediately and without any issue. Furthermore, it stayed connected no matter where I walked around in the room. When I wished to disconnect or turn off the controller, it was extremely easy to do so. The only thing I didn't like was that each controller requires its own dongle to connect. It's a bit of an inconvenience. I like the idea of connecting many controllers to the same system without issue, but perhaps that's just wishful thinking for now.Battery Life (10/10) -- This is perhaps the most surprising feature of the controller, as it seems to last for an unusually long time. In fact, I haven't ever had the battery run out. I do charge it every once in a while, but not obsessively so. I expected it to fail at some point and it hasn't yet.Durability (9/10) -- While the controller is plastic, it feels quite durable. It lacks that flimsy quality that many wireless controllers seem to have (as if dropping it the wrong way would break or chip something off). I don't think it's deserving of a perfect 10 score because I don't think it would necessarily survive being thrown multiple times across the room by angry gamers (though whether or not that actually matters is up to you).Responsiveness (10/10) -- I used the controller with multiple games with the explicit purpose of testing its responsiveness and was both surprised and pleased. Every movement and button press happened instantaneously and they seemed to be the same whether the controller was plugged in or wireless.Value (9/10) -- I have added value as an additional category for those who are wondering if the controller is actually worth the price. After all, even if a controller is amazing, if it costs $1,000 -- is it really worth it? In this case, it's definitely worth it. It seems to sit around $30, which is more than fair given its competition. It's simply not worth paying a few dollars less for something significantly worse. This controller is worth the price that's being asked.

Reliable & works perfectly
Perhaps the best Xbox style controller I've used - certainly within the last few years. I've experienced no drift or issues after using it regularly for months. It's very responsive on the 2.4 ghz connection and easy to set up - although I do recommend keeping hold of the instructions as I once enabled the turbo mode accidentally. My only (minor) gripe is that the grip, while not bad, is less comfortable than a rubber one would have been - the matte plastic seems solid and of good quality but the bumps on the back are an odd choice.

Best wireless controller I've found at this price point
I'm loving this controller so far! Works great, feels much nicer than you'd think, and so affordable! I had to get two. I just wish there was a Bluetooth option for PC, or there were options to connect multiple controllers to the same dongle. (The dongles match the colors and have a brick retro molded pattern, which is nice, but are a bit large and might be an issue if you get two of the same color). But for the price, these aren't really issues. I had been using PS3 controllers before for PC games that were ID'd as XBox controllers, so these are much better options in most cases. Also the colors are fun, which is a nice bonus for party games with groups of friends. I have no idea about battery life since it hasn't been that long, except that it must be great. I like how the charging cable matches the color.

Easy to use!
Great controller and works for most games and emulators. There is no off button so you have to let it auto Shut down which is a little annoying but great battery life and connectivity. And it's plug in play, no extra software required.

An excellent controller at an affordable price!
This controller has been excellent to me. I feel the qual of the controller is fairly comparable to an Xbox One or Nintendo Switch Pro Controller, for only $20! The controller feels gr in my hands, the buttons, D-Pad, and joysticks feel great without any quality compromised despite the cheap price. I'd you're looking for a controller for PC Gamepass, Steam, or emulation look no further, this controller beyond exceede my expectations for the price and I've gone through quite a number of cheap controllers before this one. I do wish the controller would work on PS4 or Switch, but that's not what the controller was advertised as so I can't fault 8BitDo. Aside from that this controller is great. The battery life has been excellent and luckily it charges with USB-C instead of micro. That is a huge convience for me since practically all my devices are USB-C instead of USB-Micro or Double AA's. For $20-$30, buy this controller. The quality and battery life feel like they are worth much more based on recent controller prices. Over the years I've had great experiences with 8BitDo but undoubtedly this controller is the best bang for your buck for a PC controller. Last bit I'll add is I haven't noticed any latency/input delay. Compared to wired controllers I've had it performs the same but with a better build quality. Overall I'd rate this controller 9/10, the only hold back being the lack of PS4/Nintendo Switch support but that is in no way 8BitDo's fault. Thank you 8BitDo, thanks to you I have a high quality controller that doesn't break the bank.
