8BitDo's Ultimate 2C controller is on sale for only $18

The well-regraded 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller is on sale for just $18 via Amazon. This is nearly 40 percent off and a record-low price. Typically, this controller doesn't go any lower than $25, so this is one heck of a deal.

There's one major caveat. The deal only applies to the pink colorway, which may not be everyone's bag. It looks pretty good, though, as you can see below.

The Ultimate 2C is a good match for the Nintendo Switch, Windows PCs and Android devices. It connects via Bluetooth, Wi-Fi or with a physical cable. It's compatible with devices running Windows 10 and above and Android 9.0 and above. The battery life is solid, with around 32 hours per charge on Bluetooth and 19 hours when using the wireless 2.4G adapter.

As for the actual controller, it boasts Hall Effect joysticks that are precise and durable. There's an extra set of bumpers that can be remapped without additional software. It offers 6-axis control and haptic feedback, aka rumble. It's a decent little controller, particularly for the price.
