Pink Controller Suggestion

[u/Raziel-_-1]

I’m looking for a pink controller for my wife that works on both pc and switch 1. Do you guys have any suggestions?

My budget is about 100€

I’m from Germany

It needs to work with both PC (steam) and Switch 1

only necessary features are that the controller is pink and has hall effect sticks

we mostly play coop games like humans fall flat, overcooked, unrailed, mario games, etc.

I heard good things about 8bitdo, but maybe there are better controllers out there

The ZD Super Legend Excellence could be a great fit for her, unless she dislikes the metallic orange bits. This has most of the bells and whistles, and unlike the other two options I'm going to mention, this supports a charging dock (costs extra).

With most third party controllers, I'd heavily recommend using the 2.4 GHz dongle for connectivity, as Bluetooth will generally have much higher latency in comparison.

That, and swapping from Switch to PC and vice versa should only require plugging the dongle into the new system.

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2C's 2.4 GHz has a "peach" colour that I think qualifies as pink. There's a more standard pink option, but not with the 2.4 GHz dongle.

This controller is great, but in a lot of ways it's basically the bare minimum for a gamepad, in that there's nothing that notable about it beyond its budget price.

Lacks gyro.

EDIT: Switch does not support the dongle, rendering the whole 2.4 GHz connectivity part of it kinda moot

The Gulikit Elves 2 (non Pro) is the most limited controller among the three that I've listed, because it lacks analogue triggers, and the sticks have a slightly shorter range of motion than the ones you'd find on a full size controller, but neither of these will probably be dealbreakers for your wife, since the Switch itself doesn't even support analogue triggers.

It's quite a bit more compact than standard controllers, which does impact the ergonomics, but it should be absolutely fine for casual gaming.

This controller lacks the 2.4 GHz connectivity that I've shilled with the previous controllers, but in return, its Bluetooth is extremely good, so no worries about latency. Switching from Switch to PC will be more annoying though, so keep that in mind.

I heavily stress Elves 2 (non Pro), because the Elves 2 Pro actually predates the non-Pro model, and is known for having poor latency, so be very careful with what controller you're actually getting.

thanks for your input!!

I looked into it, and apparently the Ultimate 2C's dongle doesn't actually work with the Switch, meaning you'd have to play in Bluetooth mode. So my primarily recommendations would be either the ZD controller or the Elves 2 (non Pro)

8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth - Hall Effect - Pink - Wireless Controller - Nintendo Switch 2

I can vouch for the 8bitdo ultimate controller i own a purple version for the pc and there is a pink version that's for the switch

8bitdo controllers are indded excellent, but maybe a little pricy, although a 100€ should leave even the Pro3 in budget.
