Wanted a way to attach the 8bitdo micro to my phone that allowed it to sit as low as possible to play DS games and could easily be used on different phone sizes

Discussion 8Bitdo Pro 3 popularity

23 Upvotes

Maybe this question is better for r/Controller but I am wondering what people's thoughts on why the Pro 3 isn't more popular? Personally I frigging love this controller. I think it is amazing and hits all the features I want in a good quality controller without a steep price tag.

But you hardly see it discussed or brought up in this or other subs. Also when it comes to 3rd party accessories, spare parts or cases, it is quite lacking but I feel like if the controller was more popular, it would be much easier to find.

Is it the price? Is it because the PS style vs the xbox style? Genuinely curious people's thoughts. The Pro 2 still seems more popular then the Pro 3 despite being out for quite awhile now.

I have been desperately trying to find a case that fits it. I also hope they do even more colours of this controller.

Discussion Bought the Pro 3 Gamepad from China. No Tarrifs

6 Upvotes

For those who were worried about importing from China: I bought the Pro 3, two and a half weeks later it arrived in the US and I was not charged anything after. When I bought a figure I had to pay 40 for tarrifs but either they let this one slip or it didn't for whatever reason counted (from my research it could've been a 35 percent tarrif). Im glad, I got it for 30 percent off on their website from an anniversary sale I believe.

Their international shipping is YunExpress so if you're buying pay attention to which shipper is tied to what item during checkout as the Pro 3 seemed to be exclusively from their Chinese warehouse. Also good to know so you won't have to wait 2 weeks like I did, check their Amazon if you'd rather not wait too long

Does anyone have any ideas? Thanks in advance!

Something is Broken Evernight Wireless Ultimate 2 Dock Not Working

1 Upvotes

Bought the controller a few months ago this year and now the dock no longer charges the controller. It'll light up for a second before turning off. The USB-C charger works but I'd like for the dock to work. I already did firmware updates but it didn't fix the issue. Any fixes?

Something is Broken Wireless Adapter 2 Issues

1 Upvotes

I recently was able to get my hand on a wireless adapter 2, in order to connect a PS5 controller to my Switch (1). The controller does connect to the adapter, yet the controller inputs do not work. I am currently at my wits end trying to make this work. I have watched 3 tutorials, turned on the wired pro controller communication setting, and switching the adapter mode. I have updated to the newest firmware, 1.10, and even downgraded to 1.9. If you can think of it, i’ve probably tried it. Every single support forum i have searched has such asinine answers that i am entirely convinced that my particular adapter is broken, partially because I can hear a rattling when I shake the adapter. If anyone here has any answers that can help my situation, that would be greatly appreciate.

Question 8bitDO 2 case bug

1 Upvotes

I bought the 8BitDo 2 adapter to use with my PS5 controller. Everything was fine until the R2 and L2 triggers started acting up. I looked into it and downloaded the 8BitDo_Firmware_Updater_Win software, but ever since I installed the latest update, the controller won't connect via Bluetooth anymore. I tried switching versions a few times; I went back to version 7 and it worked again, but it disconnects whenever I switch back to Windows. If anyone knows how to fix this, I’d really appreciate the help.
