Very widely reviewed game controller, at an all-time low, $3 cheaper than the previous deal.

• 200Hz polling rate (like XBox Elite, Switch Pro controllers)
• 4ms latency (very low)
• Hall Effect joysticks (Gulikit)
• Switch button layout (main right thumb button covers can be replaced, but a little pricey to do)
• Comes with rechargeable dock
• Comes with wireless adaptor
• 2.4 GHz & Wireless modes (switch on back of controller)

This beats out the original Gulikit options as those are plagued with latency issues that make them unusable for competitive play. Enjoy!

  This or 2.4g version?

    2.4 GHz version doesn't have the Hall Effect sticks. The Bluetooth version supports 2.4GHz, so it's worth sticking to this one.

    You can go ahead and post that separately, completely different proposition.

  Will this work with Macs?

    There seems to be workarounds available, and they're working on a firmware update.

    The 2.4GHz version without the Hall Effect sensors already works after a firmware update.

  Does this work for Xbox series s?

    Currently it requires something like the Brook Wingman to connect via its Bluetooth mode (not cheap), but it's an X-input controller when running via 2.4GHz, so direct support may come in the future.

    If you find a better solution to get it connected, feel free to let us know!

  this or the official xbox wireless controller with adapter for the same price?

  • 

    jasswolf on 11/07/2023 - 20:46

    For Xbox? The stock controller.

    For anything else other than PlayStation? This.

    Both of those may see support down the line, more likely the Xbox.

      For pc only. I play xcloud via gamepass.

      Out of curiosity, it seems that the 8bitdo is a better controller and would beat the official one if it could have support for xbox console?

        Correct, but I don't think they've paid to have it certified.
