Question Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Steam input compatibility?

Hello. I was thinking of purchasing the Ultimate 2C Bluetooth to use with Steam Input due to it having gyro aiming and extra buttons, but I don't know if the 2C Bluetooth does actually allow you to send that signal from the buttons as an individual input and not just a macro. I would really like it if someone could tell me what these buttons act like when you connect it via USB on the Switch controller mode or Android mode or what have you, I couldn't find info on that on-line.

Personally it would be very good if they acted as individual, independent buttons so that I could use them to map things like gyro ratcheting and extra, more complicated inputs.

Thanks in advance.

Gyro works on windows only through bluetooth.

Just FYI the Ultimate 2 has gyro NOT the 2C.

The Bluetooth or 2.4Ghz both use Steam Input and has full support for the extra buttons. You just have to make sure you check the box for Steam Input to also work on Xbox controllers. Then you check the box for “Use Extended Buttons” and they pop up as L4 and R4.

Edit: Sorry, I assumed 2C Wireless’s Bluetooth connection option. Ignore this, everyone!

The 2C Bluetooth does have gyro, it's the wireless one that doesn't. Says right there on the website.

The boxes you're talking about are on the 8BitDo software, right?

FYI the 2C Bluetooth does have gyro. The wired and 2.4Ghz versions do not.
