8Bitdo Lite 2 Bluetooth Gamepad for Switch, Switch Lite, Android and Raspberry Pi (Turquoise)

I got this to play some mobile and classic games on my tablet. I have to say, my expectations were low, but this very well could be one of the best-designed controllers around - Especially for the portability. 8bitdo always releases good products, but this one has a fantastic design. Great for classic games and works seamlessly.

With the controller being so small, I thought it would be difficult getting used to the size of it. It immediately felt comfortable and just right. It does have rumble, just not HD rumble, which is OK for me. It feels real sturdy, while at the same time being lightweight. Has a 1 to 2 hour charge time. The charge usually last about 20+ hours of gameplay. 8bitdo Does really make high-quality game controllers. It was a good price, for quality of controller. I recommend it.

This is a lovely little Nintendo Switch controller. Fits in my pocket, and even has full gyro controls (important for some games like Splatoon) as well as rumble support. It won't wake the switch (unfortunately), but it connects just fine to the Switch when it's awake. This is by design (controller's manual mentions it won't wake the switch), but it's a shame because some of 8bitdo's other controllers can (such as the Ultimate). If your main motivation for purchasing this is to have another Switch controller it can't be beat for the price.For PC and Android, it's still a fairly good controller, but there are some caveats I describe below.I prefer to use the controller in Switch-mode on my PC rather than the Direct-Input mode as the rumble and motion control feature is only available in Switch mode. Direct-Input mode does have a turbo button feature (holding a button and pressing the "star" button toggles it for the held button), but frankly I prefer having gyro controls and rumble.PC use is a bit tricky, as the controller doesn't have any X-Input support, but there's lots of ways around that. Steam natively supports Switch Pro Controllers, so all Steam games can work with it if you pair it in Switch-mode. If you want to use it for a non-Steam game, there's an open-source program you can download called "GloSI" that can provide Steam Input to non-Steam games.One quirk I ran into is when pairing with my PC for the first time: I had to turn off the controller after pairing and turn it back on before it completely worked. Seems to be the case every time I re-pair, so that's a slight bummer, but an easy work-around.For Android it's more of a mixed bag. Switch-mode did pair with my phone but didn't work very well. So Direct-Input is definitely preferred with Android. However, in Direct-Input mode, default Android button assignments are technically "correct" but not how they should be (in my opinion); pushing A is "technically" the A button, so it's labelled correctly. The problem, however, is most people prefer button assignments to be XBox based. For example, an XBox controller has its A button where the switch has its B button. When using other controllers on Android, such as the DS4 or DualSense, the button assignments match an XBox controller layout. So, for this controller, what I feel should be the default, is B=A, A=B, Y=X and X=Y. Yes, that would mean the labels don't match, but the "position" of all the buttons would match an XBox layout, which is what everybody is used to.However, with the 8bitdo Light 2, the A-B and X-Y buttons are swapped from their XBox positions on Android with Direct-Input. For a lot of games this isn't too big a deal as you can change controls in their settings, but there are games where this isn't supported. For instance, in Netflix's release of the mobile GTA games, they only permit limited pre-set layout arrangements, and none of them solve the A-B, X-Y swapping.It's apparently possible to fix this if you have a rooted Android phone, but sadly that's not an option for me (and countless others as well).I still love this controller, even for Android. The price is hard to beat, and it does indeed work on Switch, PC, and Android. I would give it 5 stars if the Android button swapping issue and Switch wake-up were fixed.

Bought this for my daughter so she could play robot on her tablet and she loves it. This has become part of her iPad set up and goes everywhere with the device.

Bought this as a spare, while not the best controller for a switch compared to the many full size controllers, compared to a Joy Con it's fantastic. Also tried it for some retro games and for some games on iPad. This won't be my main controller but as a cheap portable or a spare or to make playing games on mobile a lot better than using virtual control sticks on screen it's great.

It’s a little pricey for how cheap it feels in the hand, but the controller works very well. Buttons and sticks feel good, connectivity and battery life are great as well.

I love playing old school retro games. I got a gorgeous emulator that plays 12 different consoles. It has bluetooth tech with it as well as a dock to play on the tv. I was told that 8bitdo was the best at emulating all console handhelds. I guess not this remote because although I was able to connect to the device and scroll through the menu to choose which game I wanted. As soon as the game started the remote would not work. Very frustrating and disappointing. They are offering me an exchange for another remote but it wouldn’t give me the option to choose the controller or the color. That is also very frustrating and disappointing. The whole point of getting this one is because of its compact size.

Works and feels good in the hand. Great for my switch lite and sure it'd work on my phone too
