I just got a 8bitdo ultimate 2c they go for 30 bucks and I swear it is better than my Xbox gamepad, thy come in fun colors have extra triggers amazing hall effect sticks good face buttons. Bluetooth AND dongle. I can't stress this enough it is purple.
Yeah those purple Ultimate 2 colors are sooooo catchy! I actually bought a Cyclone 2 from the comments, but honestly it just feels like this: Big hands - Cyclone 2 Small / medium hands - 8bitdo
Ah I failed to recognize the bigger hand requirement as a haver if baby hands I am super happy with ultimate 2c but if ur not the same seems like you made the right choice
I can confirm the ultimate 2C is awesome.
Did you manage to get extra buttons working? I thought no driver could handle those buttons (tried xpad and xone).
Mhm! With the wire of the 2.4 GHz it uses xinput and you can map stuff that is already on the controller, on Bluetooth mode it connects in dinput mode and the extra buttons become programmable and detected by games as "controller unknown" iwhen I need them I use Bluetooth when not the adapter
The pro2 and pro3 are awesome too, they are PlayStation style controllers.
