A little pricey but very cool
So I have been thinking about getting one of these for a couple months now. Seeing one reminded me of the whole “Leverless” or Hitbox craze. After looking into what this was designed for I realized it would be a great fit for my daughter. She wants to play games but due to a condition she has trouble with her motor skills. Well I can say in the first night it’s great. Installing the Ultimate X software was easy, updating the controller was quick and easy. Everything you need to customize the controller is right there on the app. We even tinkered with the Super Buttons as well. Another very useful and cool feature. The sticks I will say almost feel too loose, they move with almost no force behind them. I was able to adjust but they slide around very easily. Another great feature I figured out tonight is this controller DOES work with the Steam Deck. Now i download the app on my windows pc, also I have not had a chance to try the deck with the dongle. That being said I couldn’t find anything about this controller being used on the Deck and I can definitely confirm it works great wired. As for wireless I’ll test tomorrow. Overall great product

Much better than anticipated
I purchased this pup to use as a camera controller in Microsoft Flight Simulator, and I am not disappointed. Since it is smaller than the typical X-Box controller and sits flat on my desk, it is perfect for this purpose.I have the left stick configured to control head movement and the right configured to translate the view. Consequently, moving about the cockpit is super easy and much more intuitive than the awkward combination of rotary controls I formerly used on my Stream Deck.Overall quality is much better than expected, too. The smaller sticks do take a little getting used to, but they provide smooth and precise control once you do. I am disabled and have limited mobility in my hands and arms, yet I find the buttons and sticks on this device quite easy to use now that I have used it for a while. I'm confident anyone in the same boat will find this quite capable of providing responsive and non-fatiguing gaming experience.Money well spent, in my opinion.

Issues with stick drift
The media could not be loaded. Bought controller due to problems with wrists making normal controllers impossible to use. Was extremely excited to find this controller at a reasonable price. Got the controller and began trying it out. Immediately had issues with drift, the games I was playing acted as though the joystick was being moved without any input, however this was only happening in game, not in menus. I started an exchange and was sent a new one. I began using the new one immediately hoping the issue was due to a defect. Very happy with the controller, wasn’t hurting my wrists. Taking some getting used to and it is very difficult to aim in most games. After three days of several late night game sessions, probably only a total of 12 hours, the left joystick began sticking. Next time I used the controller the drift and sticking became so bad it is unusable. I am returning it and hoping the next one doesn’t have the same issues. This controller is probably my last affordable chance to be able to game as someone with wrist mobility issues. Really hoping it’s just another defective controller. Will post an update. Hopefully 3rd time is the charm.Update: After 3 weeks or so of having the new controller the original issue of stick drift in game has come back. Extremely disappointing as I needed this for my wrist issues to play games.

8bitdo
8bitdo is a company willing to go their own way for particular needs and interests. The lifted tension with the sticks wasn't for me and my use but I appreciate that accessibility options are there and there are options for those with limitations. I like that it comes with 2 big extra buttons that are used as the inputs for bottom control triggers. I actually am using these on my xbox adaptive controller. Purchasing those separately cost as much as the control itself here so It was worthwhile for me. I don't use the pad the non clucky buttons are not ideal for me and the tension with the sticks is needed for more precisuon. For some it may be benifical. The option to have regular would be nice. Overall quality is good and durable but this is a very light product it is not like a fight stick you have set on a table more like in your lap.
