I have both the regular Xbox wireless controller and now the 8bitDo ultimate 2C. And damn I love the 8bitDo one. The joysticks are far superior and pleasant, with zero play around the middle, on the Xbox controller they are a bit wonky and loose around the middle hence they don’t zero out every time. And it cost half of what I paid for the Xbox controller…

How are these controllers compared to a regular Xbox controller? $60 seems like a great deal for all of the features.

Just the fact the previous Ultimate had HE joysticks, made them better than Xbox controlers, and TMR seems even better, that alongside everything else probably makes them much better value. However, I don’t think it’s compatible with Xbox consoles, but 8Bit do make controllers that are, and also use HE sticks.

Nice! I mostly play on PC and steam deck so I don’t mind about Xbox support. It’s just that I thought Xbox controllers were the best bang for your buck.

Strange that all their controllers work wired and wireless but they have specific ones for Xbox. Is that a license/driver issue?
