For Switch users looking to get one of 8BitDo’s excellent controllers at a budget-friendly price, preorders are now live for the 8BitDo Ultimate C ahead of its imminent November 15 release. This is a more affordable wireless version of the 8BitDo Ultimate and is priced at just $30, making it arguably the best bang for your buck when it comes to wireless Switch controllers. Considering most (good) wireless Switch controllers cost $50 or more, 8BitDo’s Ultimate C is definitely worth a look.
This model packs in non-linear triggers, a satisfying grip texture, and double-shot buttons. It’s available in a trio of pastel colors: pink, orange, and blue. Additionally, it has rumble vibration support, six-axis motion control, and wake-to-shake activation. You can expect up to 16 hours of battery life from a two-hour charge, and like other 8BitDo controllers, it has USB-C support for when you want to tether it to your Switch dock.
