I’ve been testing the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless for several days now, and honestly… it really surprised me. For just $30, you’re getting Hall Effect sticks and triggers, a super precise D-Pad, and excellent compatibility with Windows and Android.

I put it through its paces in Forza Horizon 5 — the micro-adjustments with the sticks felt amazing — and even in Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, it held up beautifully. Whether you’re into retro, racing, or AAA games, this controller delivers.

In this video, I go over the design, features, in-game performance, pros and cons, and my personal experience. Is this the best budget controller right now? Let’s find out.
