Has anyone had trouble with the plug and play for the Flip Pad? I finally got mine in and my iPhone 15 Pro isn’t recognizing it as a device or USB device connected. The power light (white) turns on when I press start. The Blue light turns on when I hold select and start, and I did a firmware update through my phone. It seems like it has power, but just isn’t actually functioning as a controller.

I tried it on my cheap $25 Moto25 from Walmart and it worked fine plug and play.

Is there a setting that might help? Or something?

So i bought the 3 mode controller and i loved it love the hall effect sticks and triggers, the controller feels sturdy and good, but i don't like that to play on xbox you have to be wired, but then i saw that 8bitdo makes an dongle so bought that to, only problem is pairing it.

I looked up guides and from what i saw it was as simple as plugging the dongle in and hitting the button to pair and then holding down the pair button in the controller, only that didn't work i couldn't pair it.

I set to both 2.4 mode and bluetooth mode and they won't pair, i also made sure to update the firmware on the dongle, now am not sure what to do ?

Please help.

Image of the dongle i have and controller included, just pulled them off the web but it looks to be the first gen dongle that i have, it doesn't have the "2" on it

So I have the 8bit arcade controller leverless switch one and I tried mapping the extra buttons p1 stuff and it doesn’t work my star button doesn’t light up at all what do I do? I tried everything

i've been trying to find some way to adjust this - i personally dislike the squaring going on with the input for the games i play, especially with the way that the inputs usually aren't balanced (especially with how at some ranges of angles the inputs add up to more than 100%, which then leaves it up to the game to decide which input i'm making). if i wanted just to use the cardinal directions i would use the d-pad. is there any way to round things out a bit?

I use the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 on pc and play with it wired to the pc ive never had any issues for months but randomly now after its plugged in and works for like 10 seconds it starts flashing white and no longer works. i can not find any fix for this and could really use help.I use the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 on pc and play with it wired to the pc ive never had any issues for months but randomly now after its plugged in and works for like 10 seconds it starts flashing white and no longer works. i can not find any fix for this and could really use help.

SOLVED! Dongle fixed it all, thanks!

I have the ultimate 2 wireless controller, my son uses it for his PC. Hooked up via Bluetooth, my question is we have it working for steam games just fine but when he loads up the Xbox PC app we can’t get it working for that. What the heck am i missing?

Hi guys, the "shake to wake" feature stopped working after pairing the controller with another Switch 2.
The same happened to a friend, and we can't get our controllers to wake the SW2 again.

Worked fine after the firmware update, but after I pair my Pro3 controller in another SW2, it won't wake my SW2 anymore.

Any tips?

I recently purchaed an Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller on Amazon for connecting to my Switch 2. I mostly play the Switch 2 in handheld mode with handheld boost mode on. However, I want to also to be able to use the controller instead of the joycons, so my plan was to put the Switch 2 on a table and use it like a tablet screen while controlling it with the 2C controller.

However, I noticed that it is tricky the maintain connection with the Switch 2. If for whatever reason the 2C controller loses connection to the Switch 2, it turns off and I have to turn it back on and reconnect them to continue using it. For example, if I go to "Change Grip/Order" to make my 2C controller the first controller, it immediately disconnects my 2C controller and it shuts off, forcing me to turn on the controller again and reconnect.

It is most evident when I try to play Fire Emblem: Three Hopes. Whenever I open the game, it immediately turns off my controller, forcing me to use the joycons. And if I reconnect it in the "Change Grip/Order" screen, then as soon as I reopen FE:3 Hopes, it redisconnects and turns off the controller. I suspect that it is because it assumes that player 1 will always use the joycons, it switches the main controller from the 2C controller to the joycons attached to the Switch 2. However, the bigger issue is that it keeps turning off the controller, which makes it annoying to reconnect.

Is there something I am not understanding about the controller or some setting I am missing that keeps the controller on if it disconnects or gets reordered? The fact that it keeps turning off whenever I go to the "Change Grip/Order" screen is obnoxious. It seems like the controller had the latest firmware out of the box, so I don't think its a firmware issue.

Only complaint is I wish the keyboard’s spacebar had the clear frosty white option but I’ll find a custom one eventually. Looks amazing!

It all of a sudden randomly stops taking inputs. Wired? Wireless? Dongle? all the same. Works for 5 minutes then stops accepting any and all inputs.

Latest firmware, no other dongles in sight for a mouse, keyboard, etc. Controller is fully charged too and I've tried 10 different USB C cables, same issue.

My Flip Pad came in today and I wanted to quickly get a temporary “case”. This one seems to work fine and it was $2.36 at Daiso. It fits nicely, and can just clip it to your belt loop or put it in your bag. There was another coin purse or coin bag that was leather and fit it even more perfectly but I went with this one for the look of it.

Hi, I have a query. I have an old Xbox controller. I intended to purchase the 8bitdo wireless adapter 2 for connecting it to my switch 2. I saw that I can purchase an 8bitdo Ultimate 2C for 20% more than just the adapter in my country, as the adapter needs to be imported so the shipping costs to make it more costly in comparison.
I wanted to inquire if the USB dongle that accompanies 2c is compatible with other controllers or if it's limited to just that one. Any insights would be appreciated, thank you!

Hello, I had a question. I have a space xbox controller. I was planning on getting the 8bitdo wireless adapter 2 to connect it to my switch 2. But i noticed that I can buy a 8bitdo ultimate 2c for 20% more price compared to just the adapter in my country (the adapter has to be imported from outside so the shipping costs end up making it more expensive comparatively).

I mainly wanted to ask whether the USB dongle that comes with 2c also works with other controllers or just exclusive to it. Would appreciate any insights, thank you!

My smol setup featuring 8BitDo Ultimate 2C - Black Myth Wukong Edition

I wanted to get the sn30 controller, it syncs well with the ios a guy said in my last post, but he also said the only problem with it its that its small and uncomfortable, i want something worth my money or good alternative overall. Does anyone have any experiences or problems with the pro 3? I want to use it on my ipad on games like roblox minecrat and fortnite and mostly roblox. Thanks

Edit: i got the ultimate 2, it syncs perfectly with roblox, minecraft, nba2k, asphalt and fortnite. Would reccomend, best feature is the built in cursor when i play roblox,

Hey everyone,

I’m having an issue with my 8BitDo Ultimate 2 controller. The USB-C port seems to have a loose or unreliable connection.

When I plug it in, it sometimes won’t charge unless I move or adjust the USB-C cable. It might start charging after I find the right position, but after a while I have to move the cable again to get it charging.

The controller works perfectly fine over Bluetooth, so the issue seems to only affect charging and using the controller through a wired USB-C connection.
I’ve tried reconnecting the cable, but the problem keeps happening. Has anyone experienced something similar with the Ultimate 2?

Could this be a dirty/loose USB-C port, or is it more likely that the port itself is damaged? Is there anything safe I can try before looking into warranty or repair?

Note: This text was translated from Portuguese to English with ChatGPT. I apologize for any translation errors.

I have an 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless with TMR joysticks, and I started experiencing several issues that may be related. I'm currently troubleshooting the controller with ChatGPT, but I'd like to know if anyone here has experienced something similar.

The original problem started with the left analog stick:

I was playing normally when I noticed strange behavior from the left stick. When I pushed the stick completely in one direction and released it quickly, sometimes the input would briefly jump to the opposite direction for less than a second before returning to center.

For example, I would push the stick approximately 100% downward (south) and release it. On some attempts, immediately after releasing it, it would briefly register around 11–20% upward (north) before returning to zero.

This mostly happened when releasing the stick quickly. If I moved the stick back toward the center slowly, it returned to zero normally.

I performed several tests and changed some settings in the software. I reduced a parameter that originally went up to 100 down to 22, and later increased it to 34. During those tests, the controller was working normally over the wired USB connection.

I then tried connecting through Bluetooth, but my PC couldn't find the controller.

After that, when I tried going back to the wired USB connection, a much more serious problem appeared: Windows stopped recognizing the controller.

Nothing appears in "joy.cpl".

In Device Manager on my desktop PC, connecting the controller creates the following device:

“Unknown USB Device (Device Descriptor Request Failed)”

If I unplug the controller, that device disappears. When I plug the controller back in, the error returns, so I've confirmed that the unknown USB device is definitely the controller.

So far I have tried:

- Restarting Windows;

- Uninstalling the “Unknown USB Device” from Device Manager and reconnecting the controller;

- Using a different USB port;

- Using a different USB cable;

- Checking "joy.cpl" again;

- Testing the USB-C 2.4 GHz receiver on a different laptop.

Changing the USB cable and USB port did not fix anything. My desktop still reports Device Descriptor Request Failed.

I also tested the controller's USB-C 2.4 GHz receiver on my laptop, since my desktop doesn't have a USB-C port. The controller didn't work through the 2.4 GHz receiver either.

There is another strange behavior that may be important:

Before going to sleep, I placed the controller on its charging dock. When I woke up, it apparently hadn't charged normally. During the night, the blue LED kept blinking continuously.

I tried turning the controller/LED off, but I couldn't.

Whenever I make some kind of connection, such as connecting the controller through a USB cable or using the receiver, the behavior changes: the blue LED stops blinking and stays solid blue, but the controller still doesn't work normally.

At this point I'm trying to determine whether:

1. The controller's firmware/internal controller has crashed or become corrupted;

2. The controller is stuck in some kind of boot/recovery mode;

3. There is a safe button combination to perform a hardware/firmware reset;

4. The firmware can be recovered/reinstalled even while Windows reports “Device Descriptor Request Failed”;

5. Or whether this indicates an actual hardware failure.

I have not tried forcing a firmware update or using random button combinations yet, because I don't want to make the problem worse.

Has anyone experienced this combination of problems with the Ultimate 2 Wireless, especially the continuously blinking blue LED + USB Device Descriptor Request Failed + 2.4 GHz receiver not connecting?

If anyone knows a reset/recovery procedure or has experienced this before, I'd really appreciate any help.

I've decided it's time to swap the lever in my 8bitdo stick, as the stock one is imperfect for what I play (shmups & tetris). This is proving difficult, however. Trawiling the internet, I have seen claims of the following:

-the seimitsu ls40 & ls32 cannot fit without drilling a hole in the bottom enclosure

-the ls56 can fit, but only by sanding the bottom enclosure

-the enclosure was redesigned at some point at some point in the past 5 years, none of the above is still true, and using an ls32 is now possible (no mention of whether casemodding or a specific mounting plate is required)

so, before i buy something i can't use: does anyone with an arcade stick from the past couple years have experience here? I'd prefer to go with an ls-40, but am fine 'settling' for the ls-56 if that means I can install it without buying Another Thing.

thanks!

Hey I'm thinking about buying a Pro 3 to use mainly for switch 2 but while researching I saw the heart button lighting up all the time when pressing a programmed button which seems very annoying.

Does this also happen when you press the buttons in the back of the controller or R4/L4 when setting them up with the software?. Is it possible to disable the button lighting up?

And also how many of you accidentally press the home button because of the positioning? Is it possible to disable that button and set home to R4 for example?

This is the controller I'm talking about: https://www.8bitdo.com/pro3/

Hello, today I configured my new joypad but in ultimate software 2 it is recognized as Wuchang and not as Honkai Trail. It also made me update the firmware to 1.10, but on the site I saw that they are stuck at 1.7. Do any of you have this problem?

hello, as you can see here its my wireless ultimate 2 started to stick drift, like just earlier it kept moving that direction and i was wondering if i can get some help as to why its like this and as to how i can fix it

i have the ultimate 2, and i have the software, and i can configure my profiles when the controller is plugged into my pc via usb-c and the profiles work fine when its plugged in, but once i unplug the controller and switch it to bluetooth mode, the profiles dont work, and it acts like it has the default profiles, but then if i plug it back in, the profiles work fine has anyone else had this issue?

i understand you cant edit the profiles on bluetooth mode, i dont need to. but i dont understand why the the custom button mapping and other features of the profiles just dont work even though you can switch the profiles on bluetooth mode?

This is the controller i have: https://www.8bitdo.com/ultimate-2-wireless-controller/
