Product Information

Full details

The 8BitDo Ultimate C Wired Controller for Xbox is designed for competitive and casual gamers who demand high precision and reliability from their hardware without the hassle of battery management. Its primary benefit lies in the inclusion of Hall Effect joysticks, which provide exceptional accuracy and long-term durability against stick drift. While the controller offers excellent performance, users should note that its wired-only connection requires being physically tethered to the console or PC at all times.
