it CAN wake up switch, but it is somewhat confusing: after pressing home button you need to shake controller, lights will start to flash faster and switch will wake up in few seconds.

Great video. Thanks. You clearly describe the differences and how they both work. Cheers 🙂

Such a low percentage of reviews comparing\testing stick sensitivity. But this is the most important part for all aiming games

18:32 in this case, it is the ideal to be in an "awkward position" since it is meant to be only used by the wireless dongle, and being there, you'll never loose or break it It is the perfect position

Very thorough review. Thank you for this.

I bought the Bluetooth switch version a few months back when it released, got the black one! It’s relatively nice on the switch and the 2.4G dongle works on my laptop for Game Pass, the buttons are backwards but it works great.

I wish there was a version of the ULT BT that has the XYAB button layout same as xbox controller.

8bitdo added hall effect on the 2.4ghz non BT version of the Ultimate. Can you do an update, tearndown etc? Thank you.

This video just helped me out

the 2.4hz version has an update with hall-effect and a nifty purple color

I went with the 2.4ghz version. I was getting the controller specifically for my pc, which doesn't have Bluetooth. The Bluetooth one is probably the better option for most people, but I just didn't want to spend the extra $20 when I already have a pro controller plus 2 sets of joycons for my switch and the SN30 pro+ for my Raspberry Pi.

Just use Steam imput + Switch Pro controller layout on , there you have it, compatibility with gyro as well.

The real ultimate controller would be one that you could easily change the bottoms to match Xbox or Switch and use the BT with android. The USB dongle need some improvements too.

Is the bluetooth version compatible with apple (mac) and switch ? Is existe one model compatible with both ?

My issue with pretty much every controller I own is the Triggers. How are they with these? With even my DS4 and DS5 and older Xbox controllers I've had to replace the springs many times. It's cheap to fix, but man is it a hassle at my old age. My hands are not as steady as they use to.

Hi, how about imput lags, have you test it? For me its one of the most important aspects. Thx a lot

O cara fala tão bem inglês que eu nem percebi que era brasileiro, parabéns pelo conteúdo de qualidade

Parabéns pelo conteúdo de altíssima qualidade cara! Mostrou até um comparativo do delay dos controles

The bluetooth version is the one that have magnets instead of potentiometers aka immune to stick drift only thing it can get is bad recentering of the stick or the spring counl be worn down but still almost immune to drift

I'm not sure if anyone has already mentioned but they have added the Bluetooth connection on the 2.4g version through D-Input. Although I've only tested it on PC & Android. It works just fine.

Not so much in order to defy gravity 😅 thanks for the review, just what I wanted

I have the 2.4g black Nintendo-style controller. I leave the controller dock connected to my pc constantly. If I ever need another pro controller for multi-player, it's not that big of a pain to connect the dongle to the Switch dock.

Orgulhoso deste tipo de conteúdo ter vindo de um Brasileiro, salve mano e parabéns pelo ótimo trabalho 🇧🇷❤️

I want controller to my pc for steam games, right now i am playing Rouge legacy 2. Which controller would be best, pc with dongel?

The bluetooth one has d/x input switching with the latest firmware.

Can it pair with series s through Wingman dongle?

So the pink one works on Xbox s thru Bluetooth?

Thanks for the video, what game is that you used in the android test? 22:38

I'm getting the Bluetooth one, but damn, if only it also had the xbox layout

How do you feel with the controller in your hands? I just bought the Bluetooth version and it feed very unconfortable when I use it for at least one hour. Its this a general problem or it's only me with my hands ?

Hello. The height of the XYAB buttons is the same or not? "Keys" are not a problem. I can easily make new ones, but if i replace buttons will they be the same height after that?

Not so ultimate after all, but the dock made me buy it…

First of all, thanks for the great reviews. Keep up the good work! I'd like to purchase one of the pads you reviewed(Flydigi Vader 2, 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth, Gamesir X2 pro) on the channel. I play games on PC and Android tablet. On tablet(Galaxy tab S7 FE), I want to utilize mapping for games that support pads, such as Genshin Impact and Honkai, as well as games that do not. On PC, it would be nice to be able to play Apex Legends (PC), the Diablo series, and some Steam games, but I'm so used to the keyboard and mouse that it's not necessary. In summary, which pad would you recommend if your main purpose is to have a reliable connection and mapping on Android? Thank you, have a lovely day. :)

My question is for the non Bluetooth version is it plug n play and comes with everything I need for my steam deck are do I need to download software are need additional receivers

I want the pink one but I lose out on Hall Effect sticks...

Have you checked the polling rate of both versions?

Can you use X-input on the bluetooth version using a 8bitdo usb adapter?

Cual el mejor la versión Bluetooth o la del 2.4 gz.

When using the dongle usb stick, it causes my pc to crash

Just wanna add that some of the newer 2.4G controllers come with hall joysticks and the new firmware provides bluetooth connection (don't know how good it is)

Is it true that the 2.4 version has a bluetooth now based on the software update?

Which version is best for pc?

Awesome video, couldn't ask for more detailed comparison between the 2 controllers. BTW, what's the name of the game you're playing at 11:50 lol.

Does the 2.4 ghz version also have the hall effect sensor for the joystick?

Can you frankenstein the green/pink cover and the bluetooth controller?

You can swipe buttons! But between Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz version xD

Id say this controllers have the angles on a switch pro controller but the shape of a series controller

Is there mouse emulation in PC out of games/on desktop (bluetooth version)?

VK do u know if you can connect the Xbox One controller to the 8bitdo Bluetooth dongle? I can't get it to work so I suspect you can't.

can it connect 2 controller on PC play arcade game like street fighter Player 1 & Player 2 on same PC

13:56 on my version of gamepad (white 2.4g) both sticks have 16+ avg errors welp....

The naming of these controllers is terrible in my opinion. First, there is no "Ultimate" version of the Ultimate controller, every version has it's pros and cons. And all of them have worse overall compatibility compared to the Pro 2. Additionally what most people think when they hear the names Ultimate Bluetooth Controller and Ultimate 2.4Ghz Wireless Controller is that "This one is Bluetooth" and "This one is 2.4Ghz", but that is only scratching the surface of the differences between the two. Plus the Bluetooth version is both Bluetooth and 2.4ghz. They should have named them "Ultimate S Wireless" and "Ultimate Wireless" or something like that instead. What makes things even more unclear is there are also 2 wired versions of the controller. There is the Ultimate Wired Controller and Ultimate Wired Controller for Xbox. The Xbox one seems to only work on Windows and Xbox, when I tried it on Steam Deck and mobile months ago it didn't work at all. The Ultimate Wired (non-Xbox) lands somewhere between the two Wireless options. It supports X-Input, D-Input, and Switch, but it is missing features like Gyro and the hall-effect sticks which the Bluetooth model has.

So the Bluetooth version doesn't have x-input on Bluetooth or 2.4ghz? It says it supports x-input on the website.

please review the ultimate C version, bluetooth vs 2.4g

As someone who loves the Switch Pro Controller my hands/wrists hurt when holding this controller.

I wish the 2.4ghz version had hall sticks and triggers ☹️

Hello, does both have analog triggers?

Wait so I can’t use the pink one for switch at all?

I dont like Bluetooth version cuz buttons switched up and i dont feel comfy using them, like my instincts tell me A button is down, but on bluetooth version its on right

Do you know if both versions use hall-effect sensors on the joysticks, or just the Bluetooth one?

I find the switch controller too small for my hands is this controller bigger?

I have random input lags on my sn30pro+ on bluetooth when playing on my nintendo switch Some ppl said its due to wifi interference on its bad bluetooth receiver but Im not sure, do u have any input on this?

Perfect tests. You are a true GamePad Master. 1) Bluetooth is less reliable than wifi right, for the input consistancy ? 2) Only DirectX allows to have new buttons for the rear buttons, not Xinput ? This is an API limitation due to Microsoft stupidity ?!

is this controller has " dual sense " as PS5 controller's do ?

Can you test the gyro on android? Please

What do you think about the stick tension between the 8BitDo and the stock Xbox/PS5 controller? Is it stiffer/lighter compared to the 1st party controller? About the same???

Will the bluetooth version work on android phones with games like COD, stardew valley?

8bitdo makes fantastic products. The Bluetooth is the better model. It's more durable and longer lasting. You get what you pay for. The no drift is how other gamepads should be built. All these $200 Microsoft controllers continue have numerous issues and 8bitDo has lots of happy customers. I'm glad to be one of them. I used to be an unhappy Microsoft customer. Microsoft sucks!

A question: If I buy it wired version, can I plug and play it on Windows?

the bluetooth version IS the better version but the pink edition is exclusive to 2.4g...

i wish the bluetooth had the xbox layout buttons...

This video is now irrelevant. The latest version of the Ultimate 2.4, has Hall Sticks (and triggers, if I'm not mistaken) and BT. The Switch version still has the Nintendo layout, so you still might want to stick to that if you want it for a Switch / Retro emulation.

Hi I have bluetooth version of this controller and my circularity test is %19-16, is it normal? Should I refund it?

Can use them wired like ps4 controller or no?

Can anyone get it to connect to there xbox

How is the input latency on the Switch? I have the 8bitdo Pro 2 and the input latency is so bad I can't play platformers.

is the pink one bluetooth compatible as well?

This needs an update. There's a new 2.4g with hall effect sticks

10:51 This controller CAN wake up the Switch, you just need to shake the controller.

O 8 bit do com o adaptador big big won r 100 funciona no ps4, desde já agradeço seu conteúdo é muito foda!!

Basically, Ultimate is waste if you don't have Switch, since it doesn't support bluetooth on PC ( i mean it does, but if you play games that aren't compatible with Switch controller or you play from other launcher that isn't Steam, it will not recognize)

I don't understand at 8bitdo ultimate is there a gyroscope or not?

Can you turn off the motion control?

No Xinput with bluetooth, kinda a bummer tho.

So I guess I’ll get the ultimate Bluetooth for my switch… 🤷🏾‍♂️🤔

So you mean it needs the 2.4ghz receiver to force xinput in Bluetooth version

Does the 2Ghz have motion controls

Hi can someone help to answer this please. Can this controller work on genshim impact on pc? Or i need to install genshin to steam then it would work? Just want to make sure it before i buy it since i never found the tutorial.

Compare this to gulikit pro and apex 3

I would like to point out the looseness of all the buttons even on the more expensive one, after a wear in period there's loose springs in the joystick which can make it drift. has more drift after 2 weeks than my dualsense had for a year up until the controller pots wore out. its the springssssssssss

Qual serve no Steam Deck?

I have the Bluetooth and 2.4g controller. I thought it was standard

😊with one is for android smartphone?

Bumpers suck it’s a deal breaker for me because of games I play

I REALLY wish I had watched this video before buying. I got the 2.4G because I really wanted the pastel pink color, but as you noted in your color comparison, THE TONE IS EXTREMELY SUBTLE, it looks almost white next to colored objects. The color on the box and on their website are rich and bold in comparison. I was SO disappointed when I unboxed and saw the color, it is honestly such an ugly tone and it looks like the color has been sun bleached out. I don't understand who approved this tone for production, what is the point of making a pink controller that makes you question of you are even looking at the color pink? What a waste... Anyway, that's my rant about the color. Aesthetics aside, it's a great controller and for PC use, you really can't go wrong with the 2.4 since the adapter works from its place inside the dock, it doesn't take up any extra USB ports and feels like an adapter-free experience. Just don't get conned by the deceptively pretty pink, or you'll be a sad panda like me.

You CAN wake up switch

sank you!

It's NOT 8bitTHO it's 8bit do They have a speaker that says 8bit do

Ordered it for my steam deck.

This vs King kong pro 2
