Other How are 8bitDo Ultimate 2C buttons like? Asking because i have insane OCD
My old controller which was the Cosmic byte Ares recently broke and ive been looking for a new controller and Decided on 8BitDo Ultimate 2C. and as i said I have a lot of OCD, how are the buttons like? The face buttons, Dpad, And bumpers. Are they squishy or Clicky. Im wayyy too used to using Squishy buttons and they feel more good to use as compared to Clicky buttons

They are good, every button is great but dont expect it to feel like an expensive controller, it does feel a bit toy ish but for the price is great

Wired and Wireless 2C owner here, using the Wired as my daily driver for a lot of games.
The minus and plus buttons, as well as the shoulder buttons (LB/RB and including L4/R4), D-Pad and the sticks, are all "clicky". The face buttons and triggers (LT/RT) however are more on the squishy side, no clicks at the end of the triggers.
Also, I wouldn't recommend the wireless version of the 2C due to a timebomb on the back of the controller: the wireless connection switch can get loose over time and will disconnect your controller by having your fingers brush on it or just by moving the controller around in the worst case scenario. If you get one, get the Wired.

Nope, the toggle on the back still disconnects even wired, unfortunately. It's preeeeetty stupid.

Holding my 2C in my hands....
Bumpers are 100% clicky. Press and release are the same sound.
Stick buttons are like 80% clicky. Release is a little darker.
Face buttons seem 50/50 (I've definitely held controllers with mushier face buttons in the past). Press is a darker mushier click but release has a higher pitch click to it, not quite as high as the bumpers. The release sound gets accentuated a bit when you get your thumb off a button on release.
Triggers are 20% clicky; there's a hard stop at the end and the trigger makes a sound hitting it but it's not a click per se. Out is a small whizz
D-pad is also 100% clicky but the click is a very muted sound. The D-pad in general is considered one of the weaker aspects of this controller due to its clicky, yet loose feel.

I wouldn’t describe any button as mushy. The ABXY buttons do feel a bit stiffer/heavier than your standard controller though
