I like the hall effect joystick sensors in 8bitdo.

Only thing i hate about my Xbox wireless controller is the stick drift after one year but I manageed to fix it.


Also you need special screw driver to open it

Deciding between Xbox wireless controller or 8Bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller

I owned both, both are good. If only for PC games, both will be ok. If play Switch or nintendo games then 8bitdo. 8bitdo analog supposed to last longer without stick drift due to the hall sensor.

Try to test out both, or at least get a “hold” before purchase. Sometimes what suit my hands might not suit your hands.​

How does this compare to the original Ultimate hall effect joysticks? It looks like a killer deal if the performance too far apart. On the lookout for 3rd party controller, as my Xbox controller is about to fail again, it has a terrible drifting issue.

Using one and play spiderman man. No complain and very light. Just note this is without the extra trigger at the back.

Try fixing the drifting yourself, some drifting issue can be fixed easily.

I fixed mine using this video simple method and has no more drifting ever since.
