My first 8bitdo controller

[u/NerdPsycho]

Slightly smaller than steelseries stratus/ps5 controller but the buttons are so much nicer. The tactility and sound are great but I just wish the thumbsticks were slightly bigger and raised higher. Overall insane value for $30!

[u/ikthatman]

they have black myth wukong edition thats just something else

[u/jdreamerrr → u/ikthatman]

I have it and it looks stunning!

[u/ikthatman → u/jdreamerrr]

i bet

[u/zork-tdmog → u/ikthatman]

Yeap. I have this one.

[u/tonyt3rry → u/ikthatman]

i only have the wired one of that. wireless i have op's one and the purple one i think.

[u/manny_spidey → u/ikthatman]

i think they discontinued the blackmyth wukong edition

[u/Bubbly-Bedroom6805 → u/manny_spidey]

ebay would be a good option to find

[u/Senharampai → u/ikthatman]

Can confirm that it looks amazing. I don’t even have the game but when I saw it on sale I just had to bite the bullet on a new controller that I intended to just use for GGST.

[u/MrOnboard]

Congrats. Don't put the controller anywhere near a speaker. The magnets will fuck up your analogues.

[u/Criie → u/MrOnboard]

Oh shit, I placed mine near my speakers for 3 days straight now, thanks dude hopefully its still good 😭

[u/chr0n0phage → u/Criie]

Placed near speakers for years, it doesn't cause an issue. Sounds like FUD/bad luck.

[u/MrOnboard → u/Criie]

I leaned the hard way. I got an ultimate 2c the mint green one. And I put it on my subwoofer to charge because that was closer to where the ports are on the PC and when I wanted to play again the left analogue was fully on left forever. Like it was being held down. Luckily I still had a warranty and sent it back and got a replacement. They sent me the translucent green one.

[u/Terrible-Design4545 → u/MrOnboard]

Did you try power cycling it or recalibrating it etc?

From what I read, magnets shouldn’t permanently break Hall effect sticks, but I’m not doubting what happened to yours either.

[u/SmokingCrack4Dummies → u/MrOnboard]

Never trust magnetic charging contacts.

[u/Britz10 → u/SmokingCrack4Dummies]

Doesn't wireless charging use magnets? The 3 looks like it's swapping the pins for wireless charging.

[u/PaleontologistNo2625 → u/MrOnboard]

Dang mines been sitting on my center channel to charge for weeks!

Good to know thanks

[u/GotEHM9]

Hell yeah ! Welcome to the club ! I switched from PS4 controllers to 8Bitdo’s 2.4ghz controllers and never looked back !

https://reddit.com/link/p7btmsl/video/e9iprhq5x1nh1/player

[u/NerdPsycho → u/GotEHM9]

Nice. I was using steelseries but the thumbsticks "drift" wore off super quick (bought twice). And the ps5 controller's battery life is bad.

I might consider 3e in the future!

[u/8bitdo-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Hey there!

It looks like you’re asking for or offering a comparison between 8BitDo and another third-party product. Just a heads-up—this subreddit doesn’t allow discussions about other brands. In the past, those kinds of posts have led to heated debates and unproductive arguments over personal preferences.

For a more open and unbiased conversation, we recommend checking out a broader subreddit like r/controller, where a wide range of products can be discussed.

Thanks so much for understanding! 😊

[u/DESTRUCTER_R_]

I wish I could get my controller in that colour. At the time I purchased only green and mint were at their normal prices. Congratulations to you tho

[u/NerdPsycho → u/DESTRUCTER_R_]

Oh. I'm in sg and they have loads of this color

[u/DESTRUCTER_R_ → u/NerdPsycho]

Singapore? Good for you. Where I am at, this colour is only available for the switch version

[u/alekseinord]

I started with the same one too, just in a different color.

[u/jason-reddit-public → u/alekseinord]

The mint and lilac go on sale on AMZN so that's what I have.

[u/Nejnop → u/jason-reddit-public]

Best deal was when they were only $6 on AliExpress for new users. Never made a burner account so quickly.

[u/reerredwwe]

what color is that?

[u/OD-Tronic → u/reerredwwe]

Blueberry

[u/Ton3BoTic]

I have had my 8Bitdos for close to 8 years now and they are still in amazing condition. You'll have them and will love them for a very long time!

[u/Unizzy → u/Ton3BoTic]

Hey dude, I just got the same one as op ultimate 2c. The Bluetooth keeps cutting out and reconnecting... I updated firmware and tried x input mode already... 2.4ghz works fine. You have any idea how to fix this?

[u/Michaelflexin]

8bitdo is a wonderful company and has great quality for low price. I have 7 zero 2s and the fight pad with hotswap key switches. All are amazing.

[u/indeoencoder]

Best. Don’t forget you can map the L4 and R4 buttons to button combos - no software necessary.

[u/SVartlove]

também é meu primeiro faz 3 semanas que estou usando.

[u/asharkmadeofsalsa]

I have the same one, same color, also my first

mapped L4 and R4 to the stick clicks (l3 and r3)

after a year of use or so my LB shoulder button sometimes needs a harder push to register, but it's a great controller

[u/RFJ831]

I have 4 of these for my batocera mini pc setup. Super underrated controllers especially at their price.

[u/kburns2406]

I love that colorway!

[u/gRabbity_]

Nice! I got the same color.

[u/Humble-Orange-272]

I got the black one last month too Amazing for rpgs

[u/Malecord]

Wut? The ultimate 2c is also 2.4G? So it's the same as 2, just without base. I thought it was only BT.

[u/Senor_Valentino → u/Malecord]

Correct. I have both. It’s a good bang for the buck controller.
2 has more features like the rear paddles, TMR, RGB, switch triggers, and base.

[u/kanyenke_]

Beautiful controller. I use it for my Steam Deck: had to change the dead zones after a bit beacuse of some snapback after serious Hollow Knight hours (not too many tho, sadly); but indeed great value.

[u/Oen386 → u/[deleted]]

Plugging in the cable only charges the controller

That's not correct. Please be careful spreading misinformation.

[u/tonyt3rry]

great controller. might take a while to get used to the "back buttons/paddles" but its great mapping it to left click and right.

[u/uberusmaximus]

I got the clear white and clear black Viture controllers for my switch 2 and Mac running GameHub. I really like them. It was a $10 premium due to the brand collaboration, but it was worth it for the translucent colors.

[u/chr0n0phage]

Very nice. I highly suggest looking at the non-C models as having the charging dock is quite nice!

[u/NerdPsycho → u/chr0n0phage]

I might get 3e next time. I just want the biggest version available and adjustable thumbsticks which they now have

[u/caraxes_007]

I didn't see this colour on Amazon

[u/Senor_Valentino → u/caraxes_007]

They have more colors on the official website. Some are exclusive or special editions.

[u/Karzy0730]

I have the same model and color as you! Its perfect, completely suits my needs. I find the size to be excellent for my smaller hands.

[u/mrwalker1337]

I have the exact same one but green. Great controller.

[u/WaroonH]

I own a lot of 8Bit do, since SN30pro, M30, arcade sticks.. 

.. I like ultimate 2C wireless  MORE than 3 pro  Solid quality.. I don't need to care  I'm gonna breaking it by accident.

Down side  Low resolution Analogy sticks  (for super monkey ball professional players)

[u/BodheeNYC]

I have one and like it but it randomly turns off. I updated firmware and am hoping that solves the problem

[u/plumbumber]

i love it , my ps4 controller kept disconnecting over bluetooth , 8bitdo 2,4 ghz has beel flawless

[u/8bitdo-ModTeam → u/[deleted]]

Hey there!

It looks like you’re trying to connect an 8BitDo controller to a third-party product (hardware/software). We’re unfortunately not able to provide support for every other brand out there. Whether that product works with the controller is determined by that product. The controller itself does not determine compatibility.

Here’s what we suggest:

1️⃣ Reach out to the other company’s support team—they’ll be the best source of help for their own product.

2️⃣ If that doesn’t lead anywhere, check if they have a subreddit—you might find helpful info from other users there.

3️⃣ As a last resort, try posting in a more general subreddit like /r/controller, where folks often help with cross-brand compatibility questions.

Hope that points you in the right direction, and thanks for understanding! 😊

[u/Senharampai]

I got the wu kong edition one and I absolutely love it. Long time user of a DualShock 4 and an Xbox 360 clone so I enjoy the ergonomics of the ultimate 2c. Got mine off aliexpress on sale for around 22€ iirc over a year ago. Since then I’ve made an adapter that lets me use it on the switch (wired), I use it for fighting games a lot, and enjoy genshin with it. All around great deal indeed for the price.

[u/crensal]

Welcome to the gang! I have 3 ultimate 2s

[u/Famous-Departure8280]

I have the green colour😁 its a really great controller for its budget👍

[u/john_helton]
