One of 8Bitdo’s most budget controllers is on sale for a lower price.
Ultimate C Compatible with a wide range of devices and platforms including Windows PC, Steam Deck, Android and Raspberry Pi. This is a cheaper version of some of 8BitDo’s other peripherals.
It does not rely on Bluetooth or 2.5GHz connectivity. Instead, the Ultimate C connects to your gaming system via a 2.4GHz USB dongle. 8BitDo also managed to cut costs by opting for a charging cable instead of a dock and removing the profile switch seen on more expensive models. There is also no support for 8BitDo’s Ultimate customization software, but the software could be upgraded.
Trade-ins for a cheap gamepad from a well-known peripheral manufacturer can be useful. The controller will last up to 25 hours on a single charge, according to 8Bitdo, and there’s support for asymmetric grunt when gaming on Windows (where you can also connect and play via a wired connection). The green and lilac purple colors of the field are also quite attractive.
