When it comes to third-party controllers, 8BitDo is easily among the best brands to go for, and this deal from Amazon on the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C only sets that in stone. Normally, the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C would retail for $34.99, but you can currently pick it up for just $25.99. This is a 26% discount and a total savings of $9. Not too shabby for a controller like this one. And this is an even better deal if you’re a big fan of Black Myth: Wukong, as this is an official collaboration with that game. That brings a nice visual style to the design which is pretty cool. To really drive home that this is a great deal, this is the all-time low price.
Now, what’s great about the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C isn’t just that it’s a wireless controller. It’s also compatible with both Windows and Android. For Android, you can connect the controller via Bluetooth. With Windows, you can use Bluetooth if you like for convenience, but the controller also comes with a 2.4GHz low-latency dongle for a stronger and more reliable connection.
The Ultimate 2C comes with Hall Effect joysticks and Hall Effect triggers as well. So, you won’t have to worry about stick drift, and the triggers should be more responsive. To make things even better, the joysticks have wear-resistant material on them for longevity, and the controller has R4 and L4 buttons that can be remapped for extra controls in certain games.
The one downside is that this model of the controller doesn’t seem to support the Nintendo Switch. Other than that, this is an excellent controller if you just want something for Windows and Android.
