Today's best 8BitDo Ultimate controller deal
For our money, the 8BitDo Ultimate is still the best Nintendo Switch controller you can buy, sitting at the top of our list as the 'best overall' option for the console. As highlighted in our 8BitDo Ultimate review, this is because it beats out the official Nintendo Switch Pro Controller on a number of things.
Firstly, the 8BitDo Ultimate features Hall effect thumbsticks, preventing them from developing stick drift. This ultimately allows for a much longer-lasting controller. Furthermore, the 8BitDo Ultimate comes with its own dedicated charging dock, meaning you'll rarely run through its entire 20 hours of battery life.
