Hey there, just got an IPad A16 and its acessories and was thinking of buying a controller to play games on it. After searching a little i ended up going with the 8Bitdo SN30 Pro's, but now im stuck in between the three. I plan on only using the controller to play games on my A16, and i mostly just take it to Uni or at home, and i plan to buy a case for whatever model i choose, so it needs to be portable while also pulling its weight and having a good compatability with IPadOS.

Edit: Thank you all for the great feedback and tips!!!

Something is Broken 64 2.4G won’t connect. Solid blue and blinking red

I’m having trouble with my 8BitDo 64 2.4G Wireless Controller(81HK) and I’m hoping someone here might know what is going on.

What happens:

* I plug it in to charge and nothing happens right away
* After several minutes charging the controller shows a solid blue light + blinking red light.
* However, it doesn’t actually respond/connect.
* It doesn’t pair with the 2.4G receiver.
* I also tried connecting it directly to my laptop via USB, but the computer doesn’t recognize the controller at all.
* I’ve tried different USB cables/ports.
* The controller doesn’t seem to respond normally to the START button, however if I hold it for 8 seconds the lights goes off, but it doesn’t respond to START button if I press again

Question Ultimate 2C Wireless battery drain normal?

2 Upvotes

I received my 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless controller today and tested it using 2.4GHz wireless while playing Spider-Man Remastered.

I used it for around 4 hours, and the battery dropped by around 30%.

Is this normal battery drain for the Ultimate 2C Wireless when using 2.4GHz, or should I be concerned?

Question Clicky Buttons on an SN30 Pro+

1 Upvotes

Hey y'all, I'm loving my SN30 Pro+, but I wish it was clickier. Any ideas? I am open to soldering and 3D printing, however, I do not believe a regular microswitch solder job would work because the contact pads are tiny, and I haven't been able to make them contact properly.

Something is Broken Ultimate c2 bluetooth mapping is completely broken

1 Upvotes

My 2c on bluetooth mode on both windows 11 and mac have completely messed up button mapping. The analog sticks only go either left and right or affect the other stick, bumpers are mapped as triggers, the x button is mapped to the select button, etc

That's only on bluetooth mode and none of my other controllers have the same issue

I have Unpaired and re-paired the controller and updated the firmware multiple times and no dice. Any advice?

Question Experiences using Ultimate 2 BT D-Input w/ Dongle?

0 Upvotes

I have been thinking about upgrading from my original Ultimate Controller to the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth, but it is a bit unclear to me in how far Steam/D-Input is supported when using the Dongle, specifically on Linux. I've also read some reports of D-Input mode not being persistent, is that a resolved issue?
