I do love me some 8BitDo. I've found myself returning to the Pro 2 for years now, thanks to its stellar build quality. Given this, I was pretty sure I wouldn't be massively disappointed by its recent Ultimate 2C controller, and in this regard I was thankfully correct.
No, I haven't been massively disappointed by the 8BitDo. But I have been a little disappointed due to one particular thing, which sucks to say about such an all-round fantastic controller.
That thing is the shape, which has remained the same as the original Ultimate controller and opts for a slimmer Switch Pro-like design rather than a more splayed-out PlayStation or Xbox one.
Admittedly, my reaction to this is almost entirely subjective, but tell that to my God-given hands. They feel what they feel when holding the controller, and now they must write what they must write.
These somewhat subjective assessments aside, though, the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C is a controller that kind of stumps me, because I cannot for the life of me see how 8BitDo is listing this thing for a mere $30.
