Got my 8bitdo

Does the gyro works on PC? Their page mentioned something about it only working on the Switch and it made no sense for me

which controller are you using? Ultimate 2 or the the original? or Ultimate 2C?

Mines been working fine i bought it on a whim because i was broke, it was 30 leafbucks. Are there better controller? Probably but for 30 bucks this thing works better then my xbox and ps4 controller.

I bought the cheapest model ultimate wired c (the green one) and it still kicking after 2 years. Zero drift. Once when I stopped using it for months the left stick started to drift but it stopped after 20 minutes using it, not sure what happened there

Bought an Ultimate Controller a couple months back and I'm finally gonna find a use for it with the Switch 2.

what's garbage about it

back buttons

hall effect sticks

charging dock included while still at a similar MSRP to other controllers

Feels pretty good

Not any of those anons
8bitdo is the only third party controller brand I CONSTANTLY see people complaining about

Because its fucking cheap and chinese made low tier garbage junk usually. (The Arcade stick is different probably because they don't use their own parts and plastics for it, LMAO.)

Gyro only works in bluetooth mode, steam recognizes it as a Nintendo Switch Pro Controller when you connect with bluetooth
(For the model in OPs pic)

No back buttons

No gyro

No trackpads

stick drift in a month

I'd imagine a lot of the hate comes from people who bought in on their initial shill campaign with the sn30 lineup. Most of their pre-Ultimate controllers had shitty sticks and d-pads, high latency on Bluetooth models even when wired, and poor longevity. Coming from a DS3 as my most recent controller at the time, I liked the SN30 Pro+ initially, but they're the only brand I have a 100% failure rate with and there's next to nothing that makes even the newer releases appeal to me over many first or third party alternatives.

this thread is being sabotaged by gamesirjeets, grats on the controller OP

LOW.....TIER......

>No back buttons

>No trackpads

yuck why would i want those?

>No gyro

not a dealbreaker

everyone complaining about 8bitdo quality

mine outlasted both Sony and xbox first party controller

I dunno i might have gotten lucky but I'm gonna run this thing into ground.

Just like your mom in terms of $5 blowjobs.

SASHAAAAA

i've got the same but I think the face buttons feel a bit sticky and L1 R1 feel a bit flimsy, had an older snes style 8bitdo and the face buttons felt much better but triggers broke

I have the Ultimate Bluetooth for almost a year now. Rock solid that thing. Would recommend.
Many others had problems with the sticks after a short while.

Wow!!!!!!!
Where to buy? Link please? I will purchase toay.

mom jokes

in big 25

bluhd is a fucking virgin loser :skull:

8bitdo is better than first-party. I've had actual unbranded junk better than modern first-party. Really recommend looking anywhere else if you're ever in need of a new controller.

Back buttons are fantastic.

they get in the way of a good grip

skill issue

I'm gonna be honest, I bought this and it's great but the back buttons are fucking RETARDED. Even if the buttons aren't doing anything, I don't want to rest my hands on the back of the controller and constantly be pushing the fucking buttons.

Did you get the new Ultimate controller for PC or C v2? Was thinking about upgrading to the new one since it has Gyro over 2.4Ghz.

Chinkshit

Every pad on the market is chinkshit

A big IMO. Fuck backpads

The third tiny top trigger is way better.

The ultimate 2 has both, but the top ones are infinitely more useful

What's a better alternative?
The only equivalent to the ultimate 2 is the cyclone from gamesir and people complain of low build quality with that one

Wouldn't these be too easy to fat finger by accident?

Not to mention those are more expensive and don't come with a slick charging dock. I don't have the ultimate 2 (I want one but can't justify) but have the Ultimate C v2 2.4Ghz and if I didn't have the charging dock I probably wouldn't use the controller as much. It is just always sitting right in arm's reach next to my amp ready to go when I have a controller game I wanna play. Has been great in Clair Obscur. I'll never suffer through another first party abortion controller or other gaymur brand ever again. I paid 35 bucks for this thing and it is easily paid for itself 10x over. Use it every other day. No issues. XGoy and Gaystation controllers last maybe 60 months before a button/trigger feels loose or starts having registration issues.

Are the extra buttons on the newer 8bitdo controllers only for special functions or can they be freely mapped to anything?

design issue

How dodgy is TMR?
I'm looking to get one but I'm worried it might be unproven technology

The initial Gulikit sticks were prone to rusting, I haven't heard of any issues with any other models.

Are the buttons loud clacketty clack like xbox xontrollers or silent touch like nintendo premium hardware?

i got mine for like $20
it's literally perfect

Got one of these the other day and absolutely love it.

I have 3 of them and they're really good, I particularly like the mini cause it feels great in the hand. Might buy exclusively smaller controllers from now on just cause it feels so good to hold.

I think it's buttons and macros. PC fags complain that you can't map them to keyboard keys.

8BitDo has always been good.

My wife has that one and the d-pad plus triggers feel stiff AF, doesn't help that the grips kinda bend inwards rather than outwards (Like PS,XB and Nintendo Pro) so it's a bit awkward to hold IMO, I'd rather stick to Xbox controllers for PC.

used to laugh my ass off at this retarded controller, but became more and more convinced to try it out. then i eventually bought it about 2 years ago and its legit the best fucking controller ive ever had and its cheap as fuck. highly recommend you give this a try and still works beautifully. zero complaints.

Nintendo Online Only Brick 2 electric boogaloo

You Nintentards over-hyping the fuck out of Nintendo products as if the last good thing they made wasn't the OG Wii and DS/3DS has just been spinoff bastardisations of it along with the fact that they were around before Hitler was has them sitting feeling all high and mighty.

Nintendo Switch 2 requires internet connection, people have already gotten their hands on them and they are just fancy bricks until June 5

Nintendo increases the prices of AAA games again within the past 5 years

Nintendo patent-bullies Palworld into being effectively a different game

Nintendo will increase prices either for the console or the online service within the next 2 years, probably just months before the launch of the duskbloods.

Are you people just gluttons for pain? Is Nintendo your dominatrix? Do you get pegged?

How much of a bitch do you gotta be to still willingly throw your money @ this corp?

Gamesir is underrated. The G7 se and the tarantula are fantastic

They are literally just PDP controllers rebranded, hahaha.

contrarianism
8bitdo seems to be the more popular pick too so fangays of other chinkbrands seethe about it

Buy an ad

People are more eager to say "nuh uh" then "uh huh"

This would be my favorite form factor 8bitdo, but for some reason a lot of my games don't recognize the dpad on this specific controller :(

i have ultimate bluetooth and the fucking polling rate is bad BUT i cant buy ultimate 2 because it has no switch input mode ergo no gyro and even if i buy the dongle i cant use the really nice stand so it all fucking blows
there's nothing better out there though which is the real issue

I just bought one last week and it feels cheap as fuck. I still haven't found a controller that feels as good as the switch pro controller.

They're genuinely the best replacement for stick presses in my experience.
Not at all. I'm a chunky anon with somewhat meaty fingers, and I've had no issues mixing them up even when panicking. It helps that they're slightly stiffer to press than LB/RB.

I don't see anything in their lineup that matches those. Hell if Tarantula was a rebrand I'm sure one of you fags would've been shilling the original for years now.

There's an Ultimate Bluetooth 2 tho with switch input and the rest of the bells and whistles of the ultimate 2.

yeah but it probably works at like 100hz like the old one, original 2.4ghz had 1000hz polling rate but no hall effect sticks
well it's $10 more but if the tests come out and the latency is as good as 2.4ghz i might buy it but fuck $70 for a controller is insane when 2C is $30 and does 99% of what the rest do

more than anything stock nintendie controllers are just bad these days

I was about to get an 8BD, but I read that the d-pad didn't work all that well. (Pressing right but not perfectly centered might register as diagonal right+up or right+down.) I ended up buying a GameSir instead and I'm pretty happy with it.
There's no reason why the big console companies' controllers can't have Hall Effect analog sticks when a $25 controller has them.

Oh yeah that same issue happens on Dualsense Dpads too
How is the Gamesir Dpad?

No back buttons

?

I think it's only the C/2C controllers that don't have back buttons, the regular Ultimate controllers do.

It's one of the better d-pads I've used in the past few years. The only issue I've had is that the first one I bought had an issue where it would just turn off occasionally. Would happen in wireless and when plugged in. I just returned it for a new one. I haven't had that issue with the new one.

anyone else have a problem with bluetooth controllers that are charging fucking up windows by making it stutter and make beeps?

I literally never see anyone outside of Anon Babbletards complain about 8bitdo.

its legit impossible to discuss anything technical on this godforsaken website anymore. i'd honestly trust what reddit has to say regarding stuff like this more than Anon Babble at this point

I bought an Ultimate 1 because it was on sale and I didn't know if I could disable the RGB on the Ultimate 2. Has anyone soldered TMR sticks to an Ultimate 1/other 8BitDo controller?

*hits diagonal*

Not him but what do you even do with these? You can't map them to kb buttons

One of the bumpers on my Ultimate is sticky. I'm too lazy to repair it myself. What controller should I get next

For me, it's the Vader 4 Pro

Dude, it's an xinput controller. You map it to xbox buttons and use it with xbox controller games. If you wanna m/kb then you're not gonna use a controller in the first place.

To be fair though, you can use steaminput to map a button to m/kb and then set the back buttons to that button.

Realistically, you map one button to jump and the other to use/dodge so you can press those buttons without moving your fingers from the sticks. The Ultimate 2/2C also has a third set of shoulder buttons that are remappable so you don't have to press any face button at all.

Chinkshitters won. They would be absolutely dominating if it werent for the tariffs. Better and affordable controllers, good affordable handheld chinkshit copies, hitboxes, etc.

the symmetrical gamesaar

What's my option for snes controllers?

TECHNOLOGY!!!!!

Like the feeling or a real snes controller that works on a snes? 8bitdo has a fake real snes controller called the sf30 and then they have a modernized version called the pro 2

I feel like both sites are half blatant shilling and half complaints about things I can't replicate or glowing praise for things that give me nothing but issues. I've probably had better luck here with useful details that aren't surface level, but you're sifting through a lot of bullshit to find anything of value regardless.

I fucking love this thing for street fighter. I'm planning on getting one of those for xiv too.

more moving parts

I like reliability

I have a wired ultimate 2c controller and i really like it, the only thing i think could be a little better is the dpad but other then that i have no problems

I almost bought one of these despite not liking the idea of moving parts, but after an anon mentioned how much shit you can bind on a DS4/Dualsense touchpad the nine extra buttons almost instantly lost all value to me.
I still might pick up a rev2 out of curiosity eventually since mech dpad + membrane face button symmetrical is my ideal

I liked it for SF too, until the dpad shit itself in less than a year.

They don't dominate because they aren't the default. There's multiple decades of most 3rd-party controllers being very low quality and that's the perception low cost alternatives still have. Default brands like Xbox increase profit by reducing production costs (even at the expense of quality) whereas alternatives need to increase quality if they want to make more money. 1st-party quality drops, 3rd-party gets better. Eventually one passes the other and that happened years ago. Still will never dominate because they aren't the default.

SNES controllers suck ass. Same with NES. There's a reason people had blistered thumbs with those. They were poorly designed.

Do playing fightan are better with dpad? i thought using joystick/analog will be better to execute moves

When will one of these fucking companies actually make proper 'pro-cons' that are essentially just a pro controller split in half? the wii almost had it perfect 2 decades ago, but every iteration of attempt since has been utter garbage.

Ah I got it( and a hori juri controller) for $20 bucks. It's fine.
Only a year is rough though.

got the 8bitdo2 and im so fucking angry the triggers are ANALOG. playing splatoon or ANY switch game with triggers feels awful with this

I'm shit either way(plat and dia) but I have a easier time with pad vs. analog or Arcade stick. Haven't tried leverless though.

If you aren't using an arcade stick or leverless you're typically using d-pad. DS3 d-pad was so awful I tried coping with the stick for a bit on PS3, but it's super easy to misfire diagonals on a controller stick.

8Bit in the name

tendie button layout

Into the trash it goes.

Trigger stops are one of my favorite luxury features for this reason. I play next to nothing that uses analog triggers, but it's nice to at least have the option and stay digital the other 99.99%

There's no reason why the big console companies' controllers can't have Hall Effect analog sticks when a $25 controller has them.

Sega used them on the Saturn and Dreamcast.

twitter screenshot farming brought to you by pajeets

This, if that crusty ass pic someone posted here the other day is anything to go by some of these people are literal hoarders who shower once a month

he didn't get the vader 4

Sega were the heroes we needed but didn't deserve

Didn't add enough over Vader 3 for me to care, but also I hate having proprietary background software running for kbm stuff to work so I'm probably done with that brand unless I see something like a $20 Direwolf 3 for a spare

I got a Steam Deck this week and Steam Input is a godsend, there's so many things I can bind to the trackpads and the 4 and 5 paddles
I wish for the Steam Controller 2 to be just exactly this but comfier for the hands, for now I'm using a Dualsense while playing docked
