There are official rechargeable battery packs from Microsoft, but unfortunately they are out of stock in most places at the moment.

@@patatoothie Ahh that's interesting!

Does the Xbox controller show up in the battery widget in iOS/iPadOS?

@@Olehv94 It does show up as a bluetooth symbol. But I can’t tell you how accurate the percentage is, because my controller is on 100% atm.

@@patatoothie ok, thank you!

Oooh that’s interesting. I usually just play at home but sometimes I like playing at other places. I did think the Xbox controller buttons were loud but I didn’t have anything to compare it to. Do you feel like it’s definitely louder than it’s competition?

@@ctran1955 Hey, I’ve only tried the PS4 controller (since switch alternatives don’t work with it) but yes the Xbox is definitely louder than the PS ones, but so much easier to use. I’ve used it for months now though and the noise has gotten better. I would suggest opening the controller and putting some sort of material between the buttons and the black plastic board they make contact with, something sticky on just one side. I’ve also read people removing the plastic buttons and swapping them for metal/steel ones!

I was searching for vids because this is exactly the problem I have now. I'll follow your reco! Thanks! 😊

Oh that is awesome

For reals?

Do you know if the wireless Afterglow controller works on iPad now?

@@icryptorchid not sure if Afterglow is compatible. I know that besides the Switch Pro Controller, recently 8Bitdo controllers were officially supported by Apple and can work with the iPad

@@icryptorchidmy exact question

😂. Coz today theres this thing called charging docks. People usually have 2 controllers

I just got the x box controller and I have the opposite gripe. I have several 3rd party controllers with internal batteries and they last weeks on a single charge and you can use them while charging. I suppose the battery life should be long enough with the x box controller, but holy heck, it make it so much heavier than any of my other controllers and I'm noticing more hand strain when I play with it. I'm hoping the battery pack I ordered for it is a lot lighter than the metal incased standard AA batteries. It's a great controller, but needing replaceable AA makes it too heavy for small arthritic hands.

HotSwap controllers/batteries. Been doing it for years. I have 4 ps4k pads and 3 xbox 1s pads with rechargeable batteries.

@@dahnleycabreros4151lithium ion batterys degrade over time so they hold shorter and shorter charge. So being able to swap battery’s will make the lifespan of your controller so much longer

@@dahnleycabreros4151so your solution is to buy ANOTHER controller AND a dock? I’m sure companies love you 😂

I do not recommend 8bitdo AT ALL.....

@@user-li4sw7gc3w are you going to back it up or are we supposed to just trust a generic internet man/bot thing?

Thanks! And good point

This is good to know. I was so confused why there wasn't a rechargeable battery when I first purchased

The idea is great. BUT! Hear me out. The controller is 50$ and the battery pack is 25$, so 75$… The DualSense on the other hand is 60$. Ok that’s expensive… I might just use AA batteries. Hah, they can’t be recharged inside the controller with its USB cable! YOU HAVE TO USE AN EXTERNAL CHARGER IF U WANT TO USE REAGULAR AA‘s! So what’s the purpose of supporting AA‘s? Unfortunately this leads casual players to use DISPOSABLE batteries. I’m sorry, came from PS to Xbox, love it, but this point… I don’t get it… It is a half baked idea. Btw, I know only one PS Controller that lost a significant amount of battery life, it was my friends and he was a heavy user. Opened it with a screwdriver, replaced the battery with an aftermarket one… worked like a charm.

I’ve had ps4 and ps3 controllers no battery issues. Rechargeable battery should be included on the Xbox controller.

@@patatoothie This, also regular batteries are really heavy, I have small and arthritic hands and the x box controller is a bit too heavy. I was using 3rd party controllers but the button pads wear out quickly and I can't really get parts for a 3rd party device.

Have you found the right controller for Genshin if you're still playing it? I play on mobile mostly but bought a PS4 controller which it's diff to get used to. Especially during combat my movements become retarded as I need to look at the control and see which to press for the characters. Were you playing on mobile or keyboard?

@@cutiephinphinJL i still havent found a good oneee i did not know a ps4 could work tho ill keep it in mind and i play on a mobile tablet i thought it was going to be to big to hold in my hands but its really not ive had it for a month and its perfectly fine playing with and its a 12 inch tab honestly if you are having that much trouble maybe switch back to the computer or mobile thats how genshin was "meant" to be played therefore controls are better its cool but nott enough to detriment youre fun

@@cutiephinphinJL there is a learning curve if you go from touch to gamepad. If you go with an x box controller the on screen display should mirror the XYAB button layout. You can also remap the XYAB and right Bumper/trigger buttons in settings to what works for you. Not sure if the PS mapping shows up on mobile (it does on PC from what I've seen) but Nintendo's XYAB buttons mirror Xbox's and don't match up so I would avoid those. I didn't and I had to use stickers on the first controller I got, to match the UI. But generally it's easier to play with a controller, you just have to form the muscle memory for it.

Does ps4 or 5 controller supports haptics on genshin if played on ipad?

Whoa that Xbox controller costs as much as a used console

Was the input lag bearable on M1 iPad Pro with 8bitdo Pro 2 when you tried it? Thank you.

@@tansuakar89 theres an input lag with 8bit do?

I have noticed the same thing, and it affects audio for the AirPods too. I generally plug my controller into the side if I want to use my headphones, but once the battery starts to go then you have to unplug for recharging. If you have the Magic Keyboard, then you can charge and connect the controller physically at the same time, but not everyone has a $300 accessory (which I only have because I got mine at a discount, pre-owned) to make such a thing possible.

This is really interesting to know! I personally am interested in their Pro controller and generally they seem like a great company to support. Strange question, do you feel like the pro2 controller buttons sound particularly loud? I don’t expect it to be silent but just curious

@@ctran1955 I’d say slightly less loud than an OG gamecube controller’s buttons. They have a nice plunk to the press, slight click as you release. The press gives decent feedback, but they do have a bit of a press to them. They’re a bit deep, around as deep as an Xbox controller’s buttons, so not as good for rapid-fire button mashing like you’d find on PS4/5 or JoyCons if that’s something that matters to you. You can still mash well with it though (just not like, turbo-fast). Shoulders are firm but kinda mushy (in a good way) and triggers are springy. The paddles on the back click slightly, kinda like a soft mouse click.

hey have u tried it with the ios 16? Can u click “view” for genshin and remapping with ipad?

glad it was helpful!

My nimbus also has severe drift in the left controller. Cleaned it with a bit of rubbing alcohol and let it dry for a day. Plus rebooted my iPad and it fixed the problem. However, the nimbus does disconnect itself from the iPad quite a bit. Usually right before I finish beating a boss or hypostasis in Genshin. 😑

You're welcome! Glad it was helpful

Thanks! Ohhh I’d love a Colorware one 😍

Does xbox controller has haptic feedback?

This is what I've been trying to figure out...

See the description 👍🏼

Does it work with an iPad?

@@elliescozyy303 Yes it does. You can even use it to navigate iPad OS. But you have to install games that have controller support

Just connect through bluetooth and then in the genshin settings select controller! Should be easy

@@ByteReview Oh I see! I'll try 💪🏻 I have a Ipad Pro 5th generation and I am looking for controllers. Do you have any recommendation? Thanks for your content!

Anything from 8bitdo! or the Xbox Series S or X controller :)@@_shino__

Does the 8bitdo pro 2 connects to the iPad Pro m1? I’ve heard 8bit controllers are not compatible any more

@@Lakaizinho Still working fine on mine!

@@Lakaizinho I use my 8bitDo Pro 2 with my iPad Air 5 all the time, just keep in mind a couple of things. Firstly, 8bitDo claims that the controller is not compatible with iPhone or iPad, just MacOS, but that is incorrect so don’t let that dissuade you. Just put it in Mac Mode (the A marker on the toggle switch) and it works fine. Secondly, iOS/Mac mode does not allow for button configuration unfortunately but in most cases this is fine; however, there is some weirdness involved. Pairing it with your iPad with Bluetooth will interpret the device as a PS controller, while plugging it directly into the iPad will make it think it is an Xbox controller. With both modes, there isn’t an analogue on the controller for the “Touchpad” on Dualshock/sense or “Change View” button on the Xbox controllers, so if there’s a game that requires those for anything (like Genshin Impact shown in this video, which uses those to activate in-game chat and deleting items in your in-game housing) it won’t work. Also you will need to remember that the Pro 2’s button layout is ABXY “Nintendo style” and not Xbox’s mirrored ABXY layout. If you know your PS button layouts by heart then using it on Bluetooth and getting PS button icons in-game won’t be too difficult to parse. Some of this may not matter though, because thirdly…iOS/iPadOS 16 will be incorporating Switch controller support soon! The Switch controller output on the Pro 2 supports button remapping via PC or the mobile app, so you can assign controls to the paddles on the back and the Star/Heart buttons on the face, and I am sure that when the Switch support is added then games will incorporate support shortly after so anything needing that touchpad or change view button won’t matter after and can just use the good ol’ select button. To sum it up, you can get an 8bitDo Pro 2 right now and it’ll work pretty great with your M1 iPad, and in a few months with iPadOS 16 it’ll go from a 95% package to a 100% package. It’s my favorite game controller I have ever used and it’s much more affordable than first-party offerings from every game console company.

@@Luc_iennhey have u tried it with the ios 16? Can u click “view” for genshin and remapping with ipad?

Change your controller name to “ dual shock 4 wireless controller “ in the settings .

@@lamyanbasagolsem626 thank you so much, it works now

haha, no I haven't

Did u get one?

Most likely, yes

Yes
