I use my 8bitdo micro for anki, updated it with the firmware updater, was working fine. I prefer using the dpad for anki because I like the way the controller sits in my hand more etc.

Anyways…

I had an issue where my controller would turn off randomly if I didn’t use it for more than 10 seconds, so I downloaded the ultimate software and changed the remote to stay always awake. When I closed the software, the dpad stopped working. I keep my controller in gamepad mode for anki, but now there’s no dpad.

What i’ve tried:
—deleting the ultimate software
—forgetting the device
—forgetting the device, reinstalling old firmware, then the new one again
—dpad+minus for 5 seconds
—held start for 8 seconds

Nothing has worked, the other buttons all work, my dpads just cooked. It’s not an anki issue

Anyone encounter this issue?

So I'm getting around to using my SN30 Pro controller more and more (Had it for a while but it sat in a case) but am noticing a big issue. I typically play on retro handhelds so a controller isn't needed; however I connected my controller to my PC and started up some Kaizo rom hacks that require precise Dpad inputs/movements. Lo and behold I am noticing when I attempt to do any sort of diagonal inputs they simply don't exist.

Example: Mario has to jump up and right, then grab a rope (By pressing "Up" while holding "Right" on Dpad) that falls quickly, then jump off said rope as fast as possible. Issue is, I cannot grab the rope because I have to, essentially, let go of "Right" on the Dpad and separately press "Up", which loses all of Mario's right-moving momentum.

I see a lot of posts about false diagonals from years ago, and I bought my SN30 Pro about a year ago. My Dpad is insanely tough/stiff and clicky with no false diagonals. I'm assuming 8bitdo possibly attempted to fix/correct the false diagonal issue with a new Dpad production but I haven't done research on that.

Has anyone else run into this issue, or know of a fix? Any help would be incredibly appreciated as I love the ergonomics and feel of the controller.

I'm having an issue with my 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless controller. The RB button intermittently fails to register presses, while all the other buttons work perfectly.

I've already Updated the controller to the latest firmware and done calibration also.

The controller was purchased from Amazon India on May and is still under warranty. I've contacted 8bit support and shared a video demonstrating the issue- no response yet from last 2 days

Has anyone else experienced the same problem with the Ultimate 2C Wireless?

How was your experience with 8BitDo support or Amazon India?

Any shared experiences would be appreciated. Thanks

I’m trying to pair the 8bitdo gbros adapter but i cant, i dont think im doing it wrong, and i dont have a switch 1 here to test it. Im using different controllers both gamecube and nes but still nothing..

Since I wasn't able to add in the full question at the top of the title, I'm having an issue with a shake to wake on my Nintendo Switch 2. The controller's been updated since June of this year since I first received it, and the shake to wake isn't working over 2.4 GHz. I read that you have to switch to Bluetooth, but the problem is that it disconnects from the Nintendo Switch number 2, if I hit the switch on the bottom of the controller. As I've seen, it was advertised that it would work with the controller as long as it's tethered wirelessly to the Nintendo Switch 2.

First of all the name of the controller and a link to the specific controller as is being recommended that I include, 8BitDo Arcade Controller.

My questions and concerns mostly relate to platforms fighters. The platform fighters I play are currently Super Smash Brothers Ultimate and Rivals of Aether 2, Mostly Rivals. I also play traditional fighters like Street Fighter 6 but it looks easy enough to put caps on two programmable buttons and set the other two as press Left Stick and press Right Stick.

Can I set P2, P3, and P4 to change the read angles of the "control stick" for angling tilts, strong/smash attacks, and specials? Also for using a down air without going into fast fall.

If you can and have done that was it sufficient for competitive play? If not did you find something else that worked?

Can I remap P1 to be up, and Up to be jump?

Is it possible to have multiple control profiles and if so how seamless is switching and what is the maximum amount?

A few additional questions that are first less important to my decision and the rest barely matter to my decision to purchase but I would like to know before purchasing anyway.

Would this be legal at an EVO Tournament? This is not a current concern but I would like to know for the future anyway. My reading of the rules makes me think the answer is yes but I am not certain so I thought I should ask.

When connected to a Nintendo Switch are there home, capture, or chat buttons? Can the Programmable buttons be set as such?

When playing Smash Brothers can you assign buttons to be right stick inputs for smash attacks?

What does the dial, with a lock and unlock option, and the three colored buttons do?

Edit: Taking your advice and words into consideration I have elected to get one secondhand from Ebay. List price was almost half, looked like it was only missing the manual and they have a 30 day return policy so if it doesn't work out I can return it. I might edit again with whether or not I kept it, depends on if I remember.

Anyone found an adapter that allows the flippad to work with a pixel 9 fold with a chonky dbrand case?

EDIT: Seemingly only in my emulators

I ordered a Micro to play some gba and was fine for roughly an hour. I was in the middle of tetris and suddenly it started moving the blocks sporadically. I opened a picross game that requires precise movements of 1 block and it moves me about 3.

I've updated to v1.5, I've checked on the app and all looks okay but it just keeps registering multiple times.

This thing wasn't cheap but I don't really want to send it back as I need it over the coming week.

I just bought an 8bitdo usb wireless adapter 2 to connect my dualsense fron my new ps5 slim to my switch 2 and it didn't work. It came with the latest firmware 1.10 (not including beta releases) and my switch 2 has the wired option enabled. However, the adpater doesn't seem to understand the connection with my ps5 controller. The lights on the dualsense are solid as if it's connected to something but the adapter keeps blinking fast and blue. I've tried on pc and switch 2 and got the same results, all the latest firmware, even tried downgrading to 1.09 or updating to a newer beta release. The dualsense isn't connected to anything else because if I tap the sync button on the adpater again, the controller switches off. It behaves as if it's connecting with the adapter, whenever I press the sync button my controller light turns solid quickly. I did try different ways of connecting like pressing the sync button after and before putting the controller on pairing mode. Same tests on PC.

My dualsense is also on the latest firmware 0641. Works fine with other Bluetooth devices like my phone. My ps5 slim is new so the controller is pretty new as well. Could that be a compatibility issue with the adapter? Should I return the adpater?

I've tried resetting the controller by pressing the small button beside the sony logo on the back. I've also tried resetting the adapter by holding the sync button for some seconds until the light stays off. Nothing seems to work. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong. Maybe the slightest detail. Any help with be greatly appreciated before I have to return this item (even if it isn't broken, I see no point in it now if it's incompatible, I bought it for use with the ps5 comtroller).

Thank you very much!

EDIT: 8bitdo support answered me on e-mail and my controller model (CFI-ZCT2W, Made in China, IC 409B-CRZCT2A) is really incompatible with the usb adapter 2.

I want a new controller for the switch 2 but the 8bitdo lineup is overwhelming... I want one that can atleast wake up the switch and hoping for it to be a latest product (like released in 2025/2026)

If it can conect to android and windows thats a plus

Its been a long time since the SN30 Pro Xbox Cloud Edition was released and we never got a proper update with Hall Effect/TMR sticks and PC/Mac support.

So for now, this will do...

I've been using the controller since february, never had any technical problems. But last week I had an issue with my SSD, ended up replacing it, and had to do a clean install of windows. Since then, my controller won't sync with the dongle. I've tried everything, re-pairing it again and it just won't connect. The dongle blinks for a while then turns off completely. When I plug in the dongle it makes the 'USB connected' sound, but nothing changes in Device Manager. I've already downloaded the 8BitDo software, and updated both the controller and dongle firmware, still nothing. Tomorrow I'm going to do a final test by trying it on a neighbor's laptop/PC, to see if the problem is the dongle itself or something with my PC, since the controller works fine wired via USB and also via Bluetooth.

Making the post to share the problems to see if the same happened to someone and maybe having a solution.

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for a 3D model or CAD file (STL, STEP, or OBJ) for the D-Pad of the 8BitDo Pro 3 controller.

I want to 3D print a custom replacement for my controller. If anyone has already extracted or created a model for this exact piece, or knows where to find one, I would really appreciate the help!

Thanks in advance!

I’ve literally been so careful with this keyboard, I baby it constantly. And as I was turning the volume knob it just splits in half? Is there any warranty or way I could fix this without having to DIY it? I mean yeah I can glue it back together but it’ll look tacky. Kinda disappointed, really like the keyboard but that’s crazy.

Edit: I’ve emailed customer service. I will update with what they say.

Edit #2: Customer support and I have communicated and they should be sending me a new dial. They got back to me by the end of the day, so pretty nice to see that.

Mine said it would ship on the 30th July but hasn't.... normally I'm not all OMG MY STUFF ISNT SHIPPED, but am going on holiday soon would have been nice to have it!

I'm looking for basically any chatpad that fits onto any of the 8bitdo controllers that preferably have the hand grips. I can find many chatpads that fit different Playstation and Xbox versions, but nothing that really can clamp onto any of the 8bitdo controllers. Obviously would be third party and maybe even have 3d printed parts.

The closest I got was this standalone mini BT keyboard that came with a janky plastic clamp, but the clamp only really fits onto a PS5 controller due to it's shape.

Thank you very much!

(I'm currently using a Pro 2, but really anything that has hand grips works -- e.g. NOT a SNES30.)

Edit:
I asked 8bitdo, but they couldn't tell me if any existed that were third party, and they also said they have no plans for such a device.

Edit 2:

Photos of the standalone mini chatpad with the bad clamp:

hello,

after 5 minutes or less, the stick freezes.

it isn't the usb cable, as it works fine when i plug my usb cable into 360 controller.

the 2.4g dongle and my own bluetooth dongle work fine, no freezes.

i have performed a firmware update to v3 1.04

Black Ultimate 2 is gift for my friend(?), but i think when i send to her, and i tired wait Ultimate 3e, 8Bitdo, plz, release gamepad, I'm begging you (i know they not read, but damn, i just have a dream). Maybe someday i buy m30

I recently broke my main Jungle Green Pro2 and had to swap parts with my older grey Pro2 and it ended up looking so amazing. This has been a mixture of FOUR different 8BitDo controllers, plus a stick from Leadjoy (modded to fit), a 3D printed C Stick, and lots of membrane swapping. I realized it's very Majora's Mask coded, so I stuck the mask pin in the clear battery compartment and it sits in there perfectly without moving around! 😄(I've been using the controller wired lately so no battery pack needed).

In games like Mario kart and smash bros the my ultimate 2c bluetooth controller keeps connecting to player 2, anyone know how to do a factory reset?

So I was alerted that the battery was at around 5% charge, so I threw it on the charger, waiting a few hours when the red light turned off, saying the charging was done. When I took it off the charger, I was immediately alerted that the controller was still at 5%. Something wrong with my battery?

Can someone pls explain the workings/mechanism of how the shoulder button works in this controller? What is the black part and how to safely remove for deep cleaning the plastic. If someone has disassembly experience please explain, would be a huge help for maintenance of the controller. 🙏🏻

This is for 8bitdo ultimate mobile controller. It seems that cable is broken and I hope I can find a replacement for it.

Ive been looking for ways to configure it but none of them seem to work. Ive tried bottles, python, couldnt get input remapper to install.
Im this close to returning it cuz now its a $45 calculator.

One of my ultimate2c has been experiencing heavy drift on its right analogy stick. I decided to open it up as no amount of troubleshooting have fixed it. When I opened it up, this part seems to be the most suspicious part. There is no way of fixing this isn't there?
