You can find the 8BitDo Ultimate right at the top of our guide to thebest Nintendo Switch controllersthat are on the market right now. We awarded it a rare five out of five stars in our8BitDo Ultimate review, considering it to offer an even better experience than the popular Nintendo Switch Pro Controller.
In fact, it can go toe to toe with Nintendo’s own gamepad in almost every regard, only faltering when it comes to battery life which is around 20 hours rather than the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller’s 40 - so still pretty good. Considering how much cheaper this controller is thanks to this discount and the addition of a neat charging dock, we think that it is well worth it.
