8bitdo made the Lite SE recently, finally being the first controller I've ever used that allows me to actually have access to all the buttons I need as a one-handed gamer. No other big name controller company has ever cared as much for the disabled gaming community as 8bitdo.

Couple of things missed here: As a lot have already pointed out, the base has USB pass-through for the dongle. More importantly, only the Bluetooth version has Hall Effect joysticks. The 2.4Ghz version has traditional potentiometer joysticks. Also the 2.4Ghz versions is available in pink, but the Bluetooth version is not.

And also hall effect triggers. Those don't crap out as easily, but hey, good to have nonetheless. Now, I do feel like Gulikit KingKong Pro 2 does it better with its easily replaceable and 50 million click rated face buttons, but it lacks the back buttons. Shoulder buttons are now the part that's most prone to failing in both these controllers especially with a game like Rocket League.

Just a heads up. The 2.4G version of the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller doesn't have the Hall Effect joysticks. It uses ALPS. The Hall Effect Joysticks is only on the Bluetooth model. Also, the 2.4Ghz dongle has a passthrough effect when it's plugged into the dock, so you can just connect it to the Switch dock and you're good to go. The gyro works pretty well on it, too. It's a smudge slower than the Pro Controller, but not by much.

So in theory, it shouldn't matter. Or is there a difference I'm not aware of. I need context. Does the 2.4Ghz mode that Wulff claims does not work on Switch, actually work? And if it does work, does it work when the dongle is directly plugged into the Switch dock, or does it need to plugged into the controller dock and then the controller dock plugged into Switch.

one more thing with the dock and the dongle: if the dongle is connected to the dock, you can use the 2.4ghz mode on a device that the dock is connected to. it acts as a usb pass-through. so rather than the signal going through your desk and case and whatnot, it just goes to the dock, which is probably sitting on your desk, near the monitor. great feature for pc.

Bought this gamepad on Amazon. And, unfortunately, I found a defect on the left stick. When I moved it all the way to the left, it felt like it was slightly clinging to something. As it turned out, the problem is very simple to solve. Take apart the gamepad, remove the stick head and put it back upside down. On the inside of the stick head there are micro-increments on one side that create this effect. Most likely it was just put upside down during assembly. Otherwise, there are no complaints to the device at all. The gamepad is awesome.

The controller has 1 massive flaw that previous 8bitdo controllers also had. You cannot use gyro and vibration at the same time. When the controller vibrates, the gyro goes haywire. The Switch Pro Controller does not have this issue. This makes the 8bitdo Ultimate unusable for me in Monster Hunter Rise on Switch, for example.
@mndrgs Жыл бұрын
Is this an issue on Pro 2 as well?
@Hathos9 Жыл бұрын
@@mndrgs Yes, I can confirm. Because of the issue, I only used my Pro 2 for PC games, and it looks like my Ultimate controller will share the same fate. This is unfortunate, because I otherwise like the controller, but Monster Hunter Rise is my most played Switch game with 600ish hours. I imagine that this makes the controller a deal-breaker for other games that utilize motion, such as possibly Splatoon, unless you are willing to turn of vibration. I can't in Monster Hunter since vibration indicates charge levels on weapons, such as Bow. Nor would I want to turn vibration off, since it generally enhances the experience.

Fun little thing to note if you’re using the USB Dongle (though, this applies to any USB Controller for Switch). If you’ve ever tried using BT Headphones with The Joycons or Pro Controller wireless, you’ve probably noticed that in addition to some real rough sound quality, the latency gets dramatically worse over time. However, using the 2.4ghz mode on this controller, because it’s freed up BT bandwidth, those latency issues are severely reduced. While it doesn’t really improve on the sound quality itself, it’s considerably more bearable when I don’t see people’s mouths move two seconds before hearing anything at all. So yeah, that in addition to every other awesome feature with this controller, it’s fantastic.

I'll probably get this as my 4th controller (got the 2 joy-cons, an official Pro controller and a PowerA Bluetooth where one of the triggers just dies). It might even replace the Pro-controller as the main one IF I can justify the need for extra buttons and turbo/macro (could probably be useful for Smash) :D But how is the battery time?

Interesting to hear your take on this controller. I just heard about it recently and was wondering how it stacks up to the official Pro Controller. If I weren't a GameCube controller fan, I might've tried this one out. However, it's a pass for me as I've been enjoying Retro Fighters' BattlerGC, which uses the same 2.4 GHz tech in both a GameCube adapter and the USB dongle designed for Switch and PC. Speaking of which, I'd like to see you do a review on the BattlerGC and see what your take on it is! Also, I LOVE watching your commercials as they're the only ones that I don't skip since you make them fun to watch! Keep up the good work!

Just a bit of production feedback: It seems that your noise gate is set a bit too high when you're in the dark room with the white light. I understand that it's being used to reduce the amount of reverb we hear, but it is set high enough that it is grabbing some of the words you're not saying as loud.

What pisses me off about the pro controller is that it costs so much and they can't even fix the fucking Dpad. Even when I bought the Xenoblade 2 version because I heard it had a better Dpad, I still had problems with it. When I try pressing down on the dpad it goes to the right instead, so I have to press it just right every time which is almost impossible during very hardcore gaming sessions where you have to press on the dpad fast and precisely. I'm definitely getting this controller. Fuck Nintendo for charging so much for their controllers but don't want to fix the dpad.

Kind of bummed there's no option to swap out the battery pack for your own AAA batteries like with the past 8bitdo Pro controllers. I have a ton of rechargeable AA/AAA batteries so when I need a new set for my Series X or 8bitdo Pros I just swap them out with ones in the charger and don't have to worry about docking it and having a dock take up space on a desk or coffee table.
@LRM12o8 Жыл бұрын
Yeah, swappable batteries are so much more convenient than integrated ones, I can't wrap my mind around why they're so uncommon nowadays. I have to hide a long USB-C cable between the cushions of my couch, so I can quickly plug in my Switch Pro controller and continue to play without having to fall back on the Joycons. Before I got the Pro controller I did have to quit/pause my gaming session earlier than I planned to several times, just to charge the darn controller 🤦♂️

I gave it to my best friend as a gift and she loves it on PC. She has a lot of hand pain, so she’s VERY picky about which controllers feel nice. This one is by far the comfiest controller she’s ever used that also has 2 paddles (she needs 2 paddles desperately). She also really loves the charging dock, it’s much easier to remember to charge the thing with it there, and switching between her PC and switch is seamless.

Thank you for the review. It helped me decide on a pro controller for my switch, I hate the feeling of buttons under my support fingers, even if they do nothing, and being able to plug a usb-c right into the controller. The dock is just one more thing to lug around when I take the switch somewhere, and I’ve never had a great experience with contact charging through pins like that.

I really dislike how some companies choose to give their Pro Controllers analog triggers even though the original version never supported it. If you're playing a shooter that requires a ton of speed such as Splatoon, the extra travel time to hit ZR makes a huge difference.

I preordered one. I only really play smash with my friends and I find hard to feather touch buttons so found it really difficult to consistently short hop. The macro to reassign and consistently short hop is heaven. Also I added a mash macro to the back button trigger that does like 20 inputs per click and while it is technically cheating I really really really hate having to break my controller with mashing whenever I'm buried. Thanks for the info on the 2.4 dongle, had no idea what that did. Overall money well spent, feels good, the customizable deadzone are great after you're used to it.

And as someone who will likely never get their dream controller ( an m30 pro or similar with a good sega style dpad, pls make it 8bitdo, i beg) this or the pro 2 are probably the ones that I can bring and use for anything best.
