8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Switch Pro - Review

When it comes to playing games, having the right controller can make all the difference. As a professional product reviewer, I had the opportunity to test out the 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Switch Pro Controller from AKNES, a wireless gamepad that boasts a number of impressive features for gamers.

First and foremost, this controller is compatible with Switch (version 3.0.0 and above) via Bluetooth, a 2.4g adapter, or USB cable, as well as Windows 10 and above with a 2.4g adapter or USB cable. It's a versatile option that can be used with multiple devices, but what really makes it stand out are the features that make it a pro-level controller.

One standout feature is the hall effect sensing joystick. This joystick has no dead zone and no drifting, which means you can be confident that your movements will be accurately translated onscreen. The joystick is also highly adjustable, allowing users to modify the sensitivity to their liking.

Another impressive feature is the multi-functional charging dock. Unlike other controllers that require separate charging options, the 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Switch Pro Controller comes with a custom-built base that can charge your controller, provide an extension for remote play, and display your controller nicely. The charging dock also serves as a convenient place to store your controller between gaming sessions.

In terms of customization, this controller does not disappoint. It has two pro-level back buttons, which can be programmed using the Ultimate Software, allowing gamers to assign any button function or macro. This means you can have better control of your game without having to take your thumbs off the thumbsticks. Additionally, the custom profile switching button allows for the creation of up to three custom profiles that can be switched on the fly, depending on the game you're playing.

Another great feature is the 2-ways Mode Switch button, which allows for instant switching between Switch (Bluetooth) and X-input (2.4g adapter), making pairing with any device easy. The controller also has motion sensor and modifiable vibration settings. The 6-axis gyro somatosensory and motion controls functions allow for more immersive gameplay, and the joystick sensitivity and vibration levels are completely adjustable to the user's liking. Quickly and easily activate the trigger stops, which adjusts the throw of your triggers, to allow hair-trigger performance in most games.

After thoroughly testing this controller, I can confidently say that it's a fantastic option for gamers who want a pro-level gaming experience. The controller's hall effect sensing joystick eliminates the need to worry about dead zones or drifting, while the multi-functional charging dock ensures that the controller is always ready for action. Additionally, the custom profile switching and back buttons allow for a highly customizable gaming experience, and the motion sensor and adjustable vibration settings provide a level of immersion that is unmatched by other controllers.

Overall, I highly recommend the 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Switch Pro Controller from AKNES for any serious gamer out there. With its impressive feature set, versatile compatibility, and comfortable design, it's a controller that will take your gaming to the next level.
