8bitdo ulitmate wireless controller 2 just dropped

I'm still torn on this damn thing. It's getting less and less drawbacks with every iteration but then they go and add clicky R1/L1 and I don't know if that's something I can put up with or not.

Between profiles, macros, and L4/R4 it's getting really hard to ignore.

Insane value for money. Buying those Kailh switches and similar keycaps for a custom keyboard will set you back double its cost. Really nice feel to it and very responsive with the dongle it includes. As with all other 8Bitdo stuff I've bought, I'm very satisfied.

I got the fami one. It's insanely good.
It might be the better keyboards at that price point currently. And it got me to fall in love with clicky switches. I was linear guy before.
Switches feel great, build quality is great, no board flex, cool volume controls, usb dongle just works and keyboard takes no time to wake up....
And battery lasts like 1-2 months of constant typing. It's crazy good. I don't switch it off or anything.

If anything, I would get another one but Famicon is the best color obviously !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah that is clean.
 
Wanted to get the ultimate 2 switch controller, but not real sure how much use I'd get out of the extra shoulder buttons (among other things).

So ended up just getting th ultimate 1 switch controller.

Have only ever used Xbox 360 / X1S / XS controllers for gaming on PC/etc. so shouldn't be a huge shift (even though it is smaller).

TMR just like the good Dual Shock 3 models.

I might get rid of a few of my wired models and give this one a whirl.

We're in a third party controller renaissance right now and you should all take advantage.

Haven't bought a third party controller since the mad catz controllers on PS2.

However, 8bitdo seems solid

I have their Fami keyboard and its pretty fun. Mind you, there are better keyboards, but the look is great!
 
i have the ultimate 1.

amazing controller. will buy 2 but only when there is an xbox branded one. its just easier to deal with all the games on pc. and all games will recognize it without issues. Call of duty for example is iffy when it comes to controller support.


also. its a nice advantage to play it on xbox too ( if i ever bought a cheap console one day for game pass under the TV )

Do what you wanna do, but the ultimate 2 is an Xinput controller and will function exactly the same as an Xbox controller on PC but with way better wireless connection
 
*WARNING ABOUT THIS CONTROLLER

I don't know why these are returned more than usual but I use software on Amazon that tells me about a product listing and details about the item. This item has a High Return Rate. I don't know the details why but people are returning this controller at a higher rate than usual. Take that for what it's worth.

Probably because people assume it has Switch Bluetooth when they released that variant very shortly after. Again messy line up on otherwise awesome controllers.

Speaking of, is there a good way of replacing or changing the buttons around so they're in the Xbox pattern?

I love the Ultimate Bluetooth I have, but whenever I play a PC game, I get tripped up by the button layout cause I'm a Playstation baby, looking at a Switch layout, but having to press the Xbox equivalent buttons of ABXY, which breaks my brain whenever the screen tells me to press a specific button lmao.

You probably want the Game Sir Nova which lets you do just that easily. 8bitdo doesn't have that option.
 
I have just ordered 1 of these Ultimate 2 gamepads, it better be fucking good or I will hold you all responsible for banging on about them like its the 2nd coming of Christ, should have it by Sunday and will give it a good go on Doom, going to get a fuck off KFC, game and grease that pad up real nice.
