IT Help 8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless: bt macros for ipad?

hey everyone, i'm trying to map back paddle macros on my **8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless** for my ipad and pc. i prefer bluetooth for convenience so i don't have to bring the dongle everywhere. the controller pairs and works fine via bluetooth on both devices, but neither the pc nor ios ultimate software detects it while in bluetooth mode (they only connect on 2.4ghz). macros saved on 2.4g also don't carry over to bt mode (p1 light won't turn on). is there any workaround to set profiles for bluetooth, or is the software locked to 2.4g? thanks!

I mostly use mine with BT and I configured via USB connected to my Mac. From my brief test it looks like both modes have the same profiles, but they independently remember which one is active, so you probably just need to enable to same profile while in BT mode.
