8Bitdo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller (TMR Joystick Update), RGB Fire Ring, Switchable Hall Effect/Tactile Triggers, Vibration and Motion Control for Switch/Switch 2, Windows PC (Lemon Yellow)

Right joystick sticking in place less than 3 months of use
Edit September 21st, 2024: 8bitdo is working with me to send me a replacement controller. I had to pay the shipping cost. I have not received the replacement yet, and they told me the red version is discontinued so I chose white.-Edit November 16th, 2024: After a long delay caused by Hurricane Helene, and then shipping from overseas, I can say I finally have the replacement controller in my hands and everything works as intended. This saga is over with for now. If anything changes I will let you know. Thank you 8bitdo!Original review:First of all – I love this controller. It has a great shape, grip, triggers, works Bluetooth so you don’t have to plug the USB dongle into the Switch, hall effect joysticks that don’t drift – every future game controller should have these. They’re super, super smooth.But what do you do when the stick itself gets stuck in place?Suddenly my camera was going crazy when I was trying to aim. I thought it was drift, but calibration was okay. And then I noticed the problem of the stick not returning to center when tilted in the 10-11:00 o’clock position.Amazon return window is closed. Only one month. Lovely.Contacted 8bitdo Support days ago. They’ve been responding once a day. They first told me to press down extremely hard to “reseat” the joystick. I had already tried that, because it seems like it could be catching on the housing.I tried it many times. It did not solve the problem. It just made it worse. Now it also sticks in the 5:00 o’clock position.I have since read on the internet in several different places that this has been an issue with the controller, and the company, for a few years now and they do nothing to correct the issue in manufacturing or otherwise.Another issue is the left stick – it seems to not have any protection while rotating, so its like it is grinding down into a fine powder. 🥴 It hasn’t been an issue yet. If any stick was stuck in place, I would have assumed it to be that one, but no.I hate that, because this is the best controller I have ever had. Or it was. I’m tired of this slow back and forth. Using the joycons in the joycon grip sucks. I changed the joysticks in them to hall effect, but the triggers and buttons are way too small, and the sticks are super, super sensitive.I wanted something to use with TV with hall effect sticks and turbo, but there was a reason I never bought 3rd party controllers… I got a lemon again. I never should have stopped using the Switch Pro Controller when I had it.Truly heartbreaking. Until they actually do something about this and not put you at risk of getting a defective controller, I would look somewhere else or get the stuff to change drifting sticks yourself, or buy one someone else has modded for sale. That may be my next project. Switch Pro Controller with hall effect sticks, or wait for the Switch 2 Pro Controller if it has them…

Great Controller, perfect size for Steam Deck Travel
Easy connectivity and small enough to travel with when I bring my Steam Deck. I just throw it in my backpack and doesn’t take up too much space. Plus I charge with USB cable when needed without bringing the dock for it. Connected Bluetooth to my Steam Deck pretty easily but will be recognized as a Nintendo pro controller in the controller properties. One word of suggestion is changing it from Nintendo button layout when playing steam games.To do this go to Settings – Controller – make sure Nintendo Pro controller is selected – uncheck Use Nintendo Button Layout.This will make the controller map to the position of the steam deck and not switch the button layouts around. If you play on on handheld and go to controller the button positions will match. They just won’t be correct on the controller when looking at it but muscle memory always takes over. You can also turn back on when playing Nintendo games it matches up perfectly.It also comes with two pedal trigger under bottom of controller if you are actually using them on the Steam Deck.

Me gustó mucho el control. Se siente mucho mejor que el joycon pro original, además de que tiene mejor configuración de botones y luces xon el Iltimate software. Desafortunadamente, solicité la devolución porque noté que el rumble del lado izquierdo está dañado. Lo pediré de nuevo.

Genel olarak başarılı bir gamepad. Xboxun normal ve elite kollarını kullanmış biri olarak gönül rahatlığıyla öneririm. Lakin bağlantı konusunda oldukça problemleri olan bir kol. İki adet aldığımdan özellikle daha çok problem yaşadım. 8bitdo’nun sitesinde çözüm bulmak epey zor oldu. Sonunda bir yazılım ile problemim çözüldü. Xbox kadar başarılı değil bu konuda. Ayrıca şeklinin bazı kullanıcılar için konforlu olmayacağını düşünüyorum. Çünkü tutma yerleri xbox gibi açılı değil. Pozitif yanlarına gelirsek yazılım olarak çok başarılı. Her şeyi ayarlayabiliyorsunuz. Windows yazılımını çalıştıramadım ama telefonda düzgün çalışıyor. Dpad ve joysticklerin hissiyatı çok iyi, kullanması eğlenceli. Genel olarak başarılı bir gamepad tabi fiyatını göz önüne aldığınızda bazı eksiklikleri mevcut. Ayrıca amazon yurtdışı kargo süresi gerçekten çok başarılı.

Prodotto come da descrizione. Preso per giocare su switch 2, ma si connette solo alla 1 (OLED). Per usarlo su switch 2, bisogna aggiornare il firmware tramite PC: andare sul sito 8BitDO, scaricare il firmware ultimate (quello per il modello in questione, cioè ultimate 2 bluetooth), unzippare e collegare il joypad. Vi servirà, quindi, un PC per l’aggiornamento. Dopodiché si connette praticamente subito a switch 2 e non ha alcun input lag (su Mario kart world). Carino l’effetto luminoso.
