Does the controller have rumble vibration on Windows and Android? What about other systems and platforms?
The rumble vibration works on Windows only.

Title: One of the Few Controllers That's Worth the Price
Review: The 8Bitdo Ultimate C 2.4g Wireless Controller with Turbo Function and Rumble Vibration is a game-changer that is a testament to style and functionality. It has upped my gaming experience with its exceptional build qua-- Oh, wait a moment. Sorry, I forgot I wasn't an AI. Allow me to try again. *ahem*For any game controller, there are five aspects that matter most: comfort, connectivity, battery life, durability and responsiveness. To sum up for those who want a quick review, this controller scored very high in each category. I absolutely recommend it. However, for those that wish for more details, they are offered below.Comfort (9/10) -- It is very comfortable to hold. Of the many controllers that I've held in my life, this one is comparably much more comfortable than most. The only reason that I didn't offer the highest score is because I'm certain there are people out there who will find it either too small or too big. To be fair, I'm not certain that there are any controllers that can universally offer proper comfort to every single person.Connectivity (9/10) -- The controller connected immediately and without any issue. Furthermore, it stayed connected no matter where I walked around in the room. When I wished to disconnect or turn off the controller, it was extremely easy to do so. The only thing I didn't like was that each controller requires its own dongle to connect. It's a bit of an inconvenience. I like the idea of connecting many controllers to the same system without issue, but perhaps that's just wishful thinking for now.Battery Life (10/10) -- This is perhaps the most surprising feature of the controller, as it seems to last for an unusually long time. In fact, I haven't ever had the battery run out. I do charge it every once in a while, but not obsessively so. I expected it to fail at some point and it hasn't yet.Durability (9/10) -- While the controller is plastic, it feels quite durable. It lacks that flimsy quality that many wireless controllers seem to have (as if dropping it the wrong way would break or chip something off). I don't think it's deserving of a perfect 10 score because I don't think it would necessarily survive being thrown multiple times across the room by angry gamers (though whether or not that actually matters is up to you).Responsiveness (10/10) -- I used the controller with multiple games with the explicit purpose of testing its responsiveness and was both surprised and pleased. Every movement and button press happened instantaneously and they seemed to be the same whether the controller was plugged in or wireless.Value (9/10) -- I have added value as an additional category for those who are wondering if the controller is actually worth the price. After all, even if a controller is amazing, if it costs $1,000 -- is it really worth it? In this case, it's definitely worth it. It seems to sit around $30, which is more than fair given its competition. It's simply not worth paying a few dollars less for something significantly worse. This controller is worth the price that's being asked.

Title: Fully featured,repairable, budget controller
Review: This controller has performed well in the short time that I have had it, with precise,drift-free magnetic sticks and LR triggers. Build quality is solid, the controller feels neither too heavy nor too light, and all the buttons feel responsive and clicky. It connects seamlessly via the included dongle, USBC cable, and Bluetooth, which is perfect because I will be using it to control various robots. The ultimate 2c is not only the best value controller I've found, it is even very easily disassembled and serviced. There are four easily spotted t6 screws in the back, and a few small phillips screws after prying open. There are no soldered wires inside. Everything including the rechargeable battery, back and menu buttons, and two rumble motors is connected with either a plastic connector, small header pins, or contact pads on the PCBs. The only nitpicks I have with the construction are the black conductive pads under the abxy buttons and between the main pcb and and back buttons, as this can wear down over time or possibly lose continuity to the back buttons, and that the controller lacks a place to store the 2.4ghz dongle. Overall, I think this is a great controller, and would recommend it.

Title: High quality controller
Review: Though it lacks connectivity to the switch, this serves as an excellent PC gamepad and the 2.4ghz connection is fast, far-reaching and reliable. The sticks are high quality and though they are traditional joysticks that could be subject to drift it's only if the controller itself is low quality. Drift was hardly an issue on controllers of the past, and hopefully this one holds up. For being wireless and cheap, it feels relatively premium and works well. My least favorite thing is the gripped rear handles -- it doesn't provide and real traction and just feels weird. Smooth plastic would've been better. Cheers and shop with confidence!

Title: It's pretty basic
Review: There isn't a delay, the buttons respond nicely, the texture of the controller is bettery smooth except for on the back where there is a nice more grippy textured surface. It holds a charge nicely, and since it's a type C charger it means just about anyone will have a spare lying around in case you need it. The color is beautiful and the design is exactly as pictured. And it connected instantly with no hassle! My only complaint is that it doesn't have a storage space in the controller for the dongle. This is very common with pretty much any wireless electronic with a dongle. So this means if you travel with it or have to unplug it frequently you might loose the tiny little usb piece that connects the controller to your device, and you can't leave the dongle plugged in because it sticks out too far unlike most of the similar products on the market.Otherwise, it works great! My partner loves it and now we can play games together

Title: It's nice for the price and then some.
Review: This is my first day with this new controller. It has been an absolute charm to use. It looks and feels good and it's nice and comfy womfy in my hands. For about half the price as an xbox controller it seems to do just as good of a job. I do like this minty green color it came in but wish there was more colors available at the time of purchase. But ya can't have it all. Everything about these 8bitdo products seems like top notch quality compared to other brands that aren't one of the 3 big players. (Nintendo, Sony or Microsoft) After this purchase I don't think I would choose another brand of aftermarket controller. This controller does not have those programmable buttons on the bottom either, which I prefer. My last one did and I would keep hitting them by mistake. They more or less just got in my way. I would tell any of my gaming friends to buy this controller if they have an xbox or game on a pc.

Review: Lo recibà y a las pocas horas ya lo estaba probando. Sólo con realizar los pasos escritos en el instructivo y listo! Pude empezar a disfrutar de algunos juegos que ya tenÃa descargados en mi lap gamer, que por cierto tiene Windows 11. Definitivamente lo recomiendo, precio-calidad increÃbles, considerando que con anterioridad ya habÃa comprado otra marca ligeramente más cara.

Review: Where do I even begin with the 8Bitdo Ultimate C 2.4g Wireless Controller? This thing is an absolute game-changer! As a lifelong gamer, I've used my fair share of controllers, but none have impressed me quite like this one. First off, the build quality is outstanding - it feels sturdy and comfortable in my hands, even during marathon gaming sessions. The buttons are responsive and the D-pad is incredibly precise, giving me the edge I need in intense gaming moments.The wireless connectivity is flawless, with no lag or interference to speak of. Plus, the 2.4g connection ensures a stable link with my device, even from across the room. And let's talk about battery life - it's phenomenal! I can go days, even weeks, without needing to recharge, which is a godsend for someone like me who tends to forget to plug things in.But perhaps the best part is the versatility. This controller works seamlessly with a wide range of devices, from my PC to my Nintendo Switch, making it the ultimate all-in-one solution for my gaming needs. Whether I'm battling foes in a virtual world or exploring vast open landscapes, the 8Bitdo Ultimate C enhances the experience in every way possible. Five stars? More like ten stars!
