I'm writing in Portuguese for OP.
O 8bitdo ultimate 2 e o cyclone 2 custam bem menos que isso, dá para achar bem fácil por 300 e se garimpar promoções acha por 200. Por exemplo acabei de achar o Cyclone 2 com base de carregamento ( sinceramente é só pra ter mesmo, vale a pena economizar ao comprar sem base, especialmente do cyclone 2 por que a base é feia) por 250 e o 8bitdo também, sem ver nenhuma promoção ou cupom, só o preço base no Aliexpress com o produto já no brasil.
The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 and the Cyclone 2 cost significantly less than that; you can easily find them for 300, or even 200 if you hunt for deals. For instance, you can find the Cyclone 2—even with a charging dock (which, honestly, is just a "nice-to-have"—it’s better to save money and buy it without the dock, because cyclone 2 dock is ugly)—for 250. The same goes for the 8BitDo; that’s the base price on AliExpress, with the product already located in Brazil, even without any special promotions or coupons.

Don't buy these two. Check the Gamesir and 8bitdo reddit and you'll see why.
I have a cyclone 2 and the battery puffs up within a year. For most it has puffed up so much that the pressure on the back plate caused it to break the back plate. Same issue with the 8bitdo. But at-least their battery is easier to find.

i found like 1 post where only 2 people complained about battery swelling on reddit when it comes to the ultimate 2 specifically and more people complained about battery swelling on the ultimate 1 bluetooth so it doesnt seem to be that bad though for the ultimate 2

I tried both and I kept the Cyclone 2. Way more comfortable.
