anyone who has one... how is it?
im on pc... has a fair price, i dont wanna spend $80+ on a xbox/playstation controller if i can get this around $30
itll be my first time buying 3rd party shit so im a little hesitant

I have it, it's good.

>>715655987 (OP)
i bought one, and have had no problems so far, which is more than I can say for official Xbox and PS controllers.

>>715655987 (OP)
That's literally the one I own. I like it, no issues here. I don't use the gimmick buttons at all but maybe you'll find a use for them.

>>715655987 (OP)
There's two types of 8BitDo Pro controllers, the cheap and the good one. The cheap, which is what I'm assuming is your selection, has no rumble feature and it's stuck to wireless mode only. The good one has Bluetooth in the name and can swap between Wireless/Bluetooth from the back of the controller with a button. The good one also has rumble and gyroscope, which is necessary for some Switch games.

You ideally buy the good 8BitDo Pro Controller for easy Switch and PC gaming, just a flick and you can instantly change without having to go fiddle with PC settings and likewise with the Switch 1 and Switch 2.

8BitDo was my first 3rd party controller since the PS2 Madkatz days and I like it. I think 50 dollars is a solid fair asking price considering the PS5 controller is 70 dollars, Switch 2 Joycons are 95, and the Switch 2 Pro controller is 85. If you absolute must buy the frugal 8BitDo controller (no rumble, no motion controls, no Bluetooth mode), then I wouldn't pay more than 25 dollars. Their more unpopular colors are cheaper too like Pink but you must give up your dignity to have a pink controller.

>>715655987 (OP)
I like it.

>>715656414
Also I neglected to mention the good one has all the buttons pre-mapped for the Switch. So you really don't have do anything to set it up, well if you're planning on using it on the Switch 2 you must update the firmware, but it's ready to go out of the box with its default configuration. If you absolutely will never use a console with this then buy the frugal cheaper Pro controller but don't go over 25 dollars.

>>715655987 (OP)
I've had the first ultimate c for over 2 years and it still works perfectly, I can only assume this one is even better

This is the 8bitdo controller i ordered

I have the wired one and it's pretty good, but like all Xbox-likes it is made for tiny hands. I still use my DualSense.

>>715655987 (OP)
In contrast with what the other anon told you, Bluetooth models of all 8Bitdo controllers use worse chipsets that reduce polling rate and increase latency. Wireless models are generally better, but don't expect them to support Switch.

anyway fuck 8bitdo but you probably can't go wrong with that controller

>tendie slop dpad
your ngmi

>>715655987 (OP)
DS4 and Xbox have a wider grip and are far more comfortable. 2c would be very good for the price if it didn't force your hands close together.

>>715655987 (OP)
Harsh dpad, fine otherwise

>>715655987 (OP)
I only have the SN30 pro and it does this annoying shit no matter the mode where it doesn't recognize the triggers or flips the buttons in some programs and nothing fixes it.

>>715655987 (OP)

>>715656414
A little off anon.
There's 3 versions. Ones technicaly a different line but they get mixed up due to he naming.

There's the Ultimate 2c wired (no rumble, or gyro)
The Ultimate 2d Wireless (Rumble, no gyro)
And then the Ultimate c (It has everything)
The Ultimate 2c is the oldest one, with the 2c line being a more budget friendly option.

>>715655987 (OP)
I own this exactly controller. Bought 2 years ago I think. It works like new, no stick drifting BUT the rubber of the top of the joysticks felt apart after 1 year. That is my only complain

>>715658002
Any specific examples? I hate the SN30 lineup for various reasons, but that's a new one to me. "Flips the buttons" makes me think you're moving between games that interpret xinput (Xbox layout) and Switch emulators (Switch layout)

>>715660279
did you clip your nails regularly

>>715655987 (OP)
Its a PowerA controller if PowerA actually cared about the quality of their products.

>>715655987 (OP)
I don't hate it but I don't think it's that good.

Huge deadzone to avoid stick drift. Noticeable in specific games.

>>715663147
Xbox, xbox streaming or cloud is the first example. Anything paired to android, and some emulators all buttons would work but not triggers etc. I tried multiple modes. It mostly works fine when paired to PC but the button flipping was random.

What do we think about the 8bitdo Pro 3 that's coming on August 12th? I'm tempted to get even though I bought another Pro 2 from them back in April

>>715663878
Might bite since I like symmetrical layouts, but I don't think I'd ever use it over a Dualsense and doubt it brings as much to the table as the Gamesir Tarantula.

>>715663878
anyone know if the handles are different? i wasnt the biggest fan of how the pro plus felt

>>715655987 (OP)
I actually just bought one of these.
Haven't put a lot of time in on it but it feels good. Buttons are solid, has a decent weight, material is slightly textured which is good for grip. The Dpad is also decent as it seems to use some clicky switches, though there's something off about it that's hard to describe. Better than any Dpad you'll find on most xbox controllers anyway.

At like $20 USD it's great. I think the lilac colored one might be a few bucks cheaper on amazon and you got those prime delivery options if you pay for that shit (you can get Prime dirt cheap if you get government assistance like medicaid or foodstamps too).

Side-note: I don't think there's a worse controller for gaming than those dogshit Logitech Titanic-sinkers you can get in the same price point.

>>715655987 (OP)
I bought one of these for my gf, she likes it. The buttons are very clicky.

>>715655987 (OP)
I have one, I like it. It's on par with my dualshock 4 in build quality (but with much better battery life). Don't feel the need of getting any other controller.

I have the switch version in light blue. It's really nice. The dpad is really nice and clicky. I do kinda miss the back buttons tho

>>715664279
Yeah, I ended up getting the gamesaar nova lite instead of the 8bitdo ultimate c just because it's wider and my hands are bigger which made 8bitdo's model basically unusable.
I'm only buying cheap shit until the steam controller 2 comes out so no pro 3 for me. I had the pro 2 but the buttons ended up sticking and I hate the symmetrical layout. If I wanted to use a D-Pad Id just use an m30.

>>715664845
Anything special about the dpad on that one? They were hyping up having a four time EVO champ help with tuning it, but I can't imagine it's any different in feel from the other dozens of tactile d-pads in the same style.

>>715663437
>stick drift
they're hal effect sticks, they don't drift

>>715664845
>>715665009
I realized after posting that you didn't say you bought a Nova 2 Lite and the image was probably just for memes
kind of curious about the original too but I'm sure it isn't anything noteworthy since I never heard any praise for Gamesir d-pads before the Cyclone 2.

>>715655987 (OP)
The sticks are nice but the buttons feel like trash and the plastic they use feels gross in the hand.

That said, for the price they’re the best controller on the market

>>715665217
>>715665009
Yeah I only got the regular nova lite because it sub 20 bucks on prime day. I actually wish I would've gotten the 2, mainly for the the trigger stops. I was mainly put off because of the addition of back buttons on it, which I can't stand on controllers. The lite 1 is still treating me fine though, I just hate the triggers on it.

I have the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth and I'm liking it a fair amount so far, the only issue is the button layout is switched but it works nicely with both my PC, and my Switch 2

>>715663878
Way too much shit I will ever use.

>>715665594
Addendum, I have no idea what the 2C is I don't usually buy anything but the top end of stuff.

>>715656375
>I don't use the gimmick buttons at all but maybe you'll find a use for them
You mean L4/R4? I have L4 duplicating L3 (clicking the left stick) and use it in FPS and stuff

>>715663878
Looks pretty sick. I bought the original Pro 2 without the hall effect sticks from best buy like almost 2 years ago now and I've always loved it. They're also releasing an N64 controller which looks interesting and might be cool for emulators

How is anyone supposed to keep up with this shit.

>>715655987 (OP)
i bought an early sn30pro and it sucked hard

triggers when held down would occasionally drop input

dpad rubs the case
too much resistence to push down while feeling mushly and unclear
the centre pivot point caused even more force required to press right after holding left or vice versa

diagonal issues

weirdly loud buttons

only thing going for it was it looked nice

>>715665891
just buy the 2c wired like i did

>>715665891
I heard they are going to push the update to the bluetooth as well but IDK if they have yet

>>715665891
just buy all of them :)

>>715666191

>>715655987 (OP)
they really gave this model the troon/egirl colors

>>715667072

>>715655987 (OP)
it's pretty good. take around 3 days of gaming to finally get it to low energy (red light), buttons are really good to press, the dpad is really damn good, i really like the feedback from it and it is really easy to hit diagnols with it and the stick is marvelous. the extra buttons are nice to have, i didn't thought it would use them a lot, but i end up finding them more useful than i first thought

it has a lot of fluctuation on the hz, but you can overclock it to 1000; dongle and cable are separete in the oc. i also recommend you to update it's firmware, because it improved the fluctuation

>>715663878
sold my pro 2 because of the analog triggers (i wanted to use it for splatoon) but tje pro 3’s swappable buttons and digital trigger switch has really sold me on it

I got the funtasik green Pro 2 from watching all the paid shills on youtube
Everyone (paid) made it sound like the best controller ever. I was expecting a premium first party quality controller. It’s more of a moderately nicer third party controller. The D-pad is a little wonky as well but it’s just fine for what it is and I like it enough to keep it

>>715667313
Pro 3 is in some ways a step back from the Pro 2. Pro 3 doesn’t have Hall effect sticks, my Pro 2 does. No replaceable battery on the Pro 3 either. They added some cool things, but I don’t know. The swappable buttons I don’t like either. Those buttons are gonna be flying, more moving parts = more problems

>>715667072
Pastel's nice bro

>>715667257
I thought it ran 1000 by default.

>>715656881
I like that one but since it is missing buttons it is tough to use unless I'm literally playing neo geo games like turf masters. Boy is it fun for that though.

>>715655987 (OP)
It’s not bad, but the “remappable” buttons were an almost complete lie.
Still a solid controller, esp at $30

>>715670824
They might be supported via Steam Input now, 8Bitdo apparently got support for multiple controllers in it recently. Otherwise the only brands that support onboard mapping of extra buttons to things that aren't already on the controller are Gamesir and Bigbig Won.

>>715663878
No removable battery and 250 hz at best polling rate kills it for me.
