8bitdo's actual QC is as good as it ever was, which is to say the misses are rare enough you're pretty much never gonna hear about them outside of Reddit threads and the five hundred millionth retard in a controller thread yammering about the d-pad of the SN30 Pro back when it still had a SNES design. For reference, enough people squeal about 8bitdo on /v/ being the work of shills that some Chinese derived nicknames for 8bitdo are now on the auto-spam filter
That being said, 8bitdo still produces rubber membrane d-pads that feel good but have strange diagonals that are fixable (not that you should be fixing an out-of-the-box product, mind). I haven't used any of their Ultimate controllers or the upcoming Pro 3 that have Vita styled dome switch-under-rubber membrane d-pads so I can't say anything on those. Everything else on 8bitdo controllers is rock solid, hall effect works great, battery life is still good even with hall sticks being power hungrier, buttons feel good, only problem is Pro 2 has some input latency but it's still not enough you're ever gonna notice it unless you're a weird motherfucker playing fightan games with a Playstation layout controller.
Most recently some of the more recent 8bitdo controllers now support Steam Input over Dinput for full controller functionality.
