8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller NS (8bitdo Ultimate)

(Trying to test out whether the same post translated in English means anything :p)

 

Before I got the Nintendo Switch, I tried using the Joy-con controllers and found them uncomfortable to hold for extended periods of time, with poor grip and overall discomfort. So, I decided to buy the Pro controller. However, I questioned whether it was worth the price.

I've tried using Xbox controllers and traditional DualShock controllers, but I ultimately believe that gaming is better with a keyboard and mouse. Of course, it's not possible to use a keyboard and mouse with the Switch, so I looked for alternatives online and discovered a product called 8bitdo.

This product supports Bluetooth, 2.4G through its own receiver, and wired USB communication. It's compatible with both the Switch and PC, and not only does it support basic functions, but also HD vibration on the Switch and third-party pads, as well as device awakening. It even comes with a charging dock at a great price.

When I saw it, I thought to myself that I had to buy it. It's a Chinese product that occasionally goes on sale for around 40-50,000 won, and although it's still available for purchase on sites like 11st, it's currently sold out.

There are also versions that only support Bluetooth or 2.4G, so it's important to check which version you need before making a purchase. I placed an order for the white version, which is expected to be restocked in March, and was lucky enough to find a brand new one listed for sale on a secondhand marketplace at a great price.

Overall, I am very satisfied with my purchase and highly recommend this product to anyone looking for a Switch or PC controller. I suggest taking pictures of the important parts of the manual since it's written in Korean and may be difficult to understand.
