What's the point of 8BitDo Pro 3 hype, when there already exists a controller/gamepad that does the layout changing better? No need to remove buttons with magnetic tool (provided with Pro3) when you can just press a button on GameSir's Tarantula Pro, and the layout just rotates

A friend was having problem playing RDR on switch with default switch layout, I imagine it's same for GTA games. So any games made for PS style layout will benefit from ABXY layout, but if you try playing game like splatoon on such layout you will quickly find it very difficult (right button, B, for jumping? get out of here)

What is the use case for rotating face buttons? B and A swapped places. Now what?
Most modern games finally rediscovered the ancient technology of "redefine controls in options menu". Lazy PC ports will just direct you to Steam's input menu to fiddle with definitions there. I'm positively sure you can use some utility to redefine gamepad buttons without steam, too.
It sure looks funky to have those gears in there and all that, but I think redefining controls on software level is far better idea, because you can also move keys all around, not just clockwise and counter clockwise.

This controller is also supposed to be compatible with the Switch, so it's good if you want a single controller for both PC and Switch games.

You can only switch places of A and B on switch (from OS) per controller basis (so you have to keep returning to change setting if you play different game), but there's nothing that you can do about X and Y. Switch has Y on left by default, but there are games I prefer X to be on the left. And many of the games on switch you can't remap controls

thats not a different layout. the buttons just have different letters on them. if your A button is jump, then switch the buttons, your B button is now jump, but its still the same button, it just looks different. i dont have an existential crisis when i emulate ps1 games on my xbox controller, so why is this a necessary feature?

problem is not all devs who port games to switch keep the action button in same place. If we assume right button if for something, and down button is for something (in PS/xbox/PC) , it might be completely different on switch if the dev didn't make it right for switch, so the "jump" and "acttion" button might be on the different direction than if you played it on another system, and thus confuse you. RDR2 player was struggling to play RDR1 on switch because the switch must have functions at different places than he's used to when playing it on his own non-switch console or whatever.

If some game has A for jump in Xbox version (and X on PS version), if the dev doesn't do good enough job on the port, the jump might not be on B, but instead of "right side". I think at least Rockstar's ports might have this problem

If it changed both the input and the visual, swapping the buttons for Switch mode would have you pressing the bottom (B) button when a Switch game asks for A. There's zero point in it being anything but visual.

i havent, but i know how controllers work. if it did indeed change the input, then the controller would effectively have 8, separately mapped face buttons. and modern systems cannot be tricked into using more buttons than it thinks you have. anyone thats used a controller with extra buttons on pc knows this. you always have to bind them to keyboard keys or macros to use them.

also, theres this picture of the gamesir software.

But anon, isn't that exactly what's happening? on switch game where B is for jump, you press "down".. on a port where they didn't port it to switch layout... well you're pushing "down" again, because that's where the "A" is now.

I think it might have some kind of profile thing going. I have a wireless 8bitdo controller that works with adapter, and despite it having ABXY layout, it gets recognized as some kind of generic switch layout controller, meaning it's actually BAYX despite what's written on the controller (when using it on switch, which you normally couldn't do, because you're using separately bought adapter to hook it with switch, the wireless editions don't work on switch "out of the box"). This leads me to think that Gamesir tarantula pro might be changing profiles when pressing the button, so it works as ABXY or BAYX depending which profile is active. Afaik if that's true, it's only controller capable of doing that. My other ABXY controller works fine because it's recognized without issues, but I can never turn it into BAYX controller, this one seems to be capable of doing both layouts.

a game where A is for jumping is going to be silly to play on a switch controller, where "down button" is B, and A is on the right side. If we assume X would be action button in such game, instead of pressing left, you instead have to press up instead. Do you not see how this can get confusing, sub-optimal way to play the game?

No I'm not pressing "south button" every time. If I'm playing splatoon with ABXY controller, you have to press "right", because that's where B is on ABXY, and B is for jumping on splatoon (you jump on splatoon with "down" on switch layout controller). Imagine playing GTA, do you wont to press a game designed "A for jumping", "downwards", do you want to press "right side" instead just because you're playing on switch? No, you get the ABXY controller for such games.

im starting to understand. youre just a console babby that cannot conceptualize the idea of button remapping. you just think

so the idea of *moving* the A button is revolutionary to you.

I noticed on game scarlet tower.. the "action" button that actually matters in X, and Y is for discard. Well I found X is better to be on left, and Y on top, cause left is easier to press and is closer home to action button (usually bottom or left, while right is cancel/B). But that only works with ABXY controller, if I play the game on switch with Switch controller, the X is on top, and "discard items" button Y is on the left

You can use an Xbox-styled 8bitdo Ultimate on Switch, press bottom button A and it registers as B on switch
By your logic Playstation gamepads are unusable on anything else because they have weird symbols instead of letters. What an absolute fucking troglodyte you are, holy shit.

You couldn't remap buttons on switch 1, and even on Switch 2 you can only remap A/B, not X/Y , and it makes no sense menu hopping control settings to change layouts per game basis. Ideally you have a controller for both layouts, but even better is if you have 1 single controller that lets you change between the two layouts, not because it's "cheaper", but because "it's cool".

neat but it seems totally unnecessarily and overly complication and maybe prone to break easily. After playing a few hours anyone can memorize the various button layouts and you shouldn't be looking down at them anyway.

Layout changing is useless unless you're 6 years old and have to look at the controller
Battery life is pretty mediocre.
It doesn't even serve to remember what mode you left it on since everything other than Switch mode uses the xbox layout.

Nope, I have Gamesir's T3 Lite, A is A, so if I press down on Splatoon, it doesn't jump.

I just did a test, a third part switch layout controller, down B press jumps. On GameSir Tegenaria Lite / T3 Lite in order to jump on Splatoon, you have to press "right", the B is right side on Splatoon.

Here's the 8BitDo Ultimate's first edition, using the Nintendo layout.
There is a particular quirk with how the controller is programmed that fucks with the inputs while in xinput mode. If you were to use the controller's Macro system, the face buttons shift to Nintendo layout during the macro playing out. If you were to press a face button while a macro was running, the A face button would register an A as though it were interpreting a Switch input.
After this, 8BitDo used the xbox face button layout for some Ultimate 2 controllers, but it's quite possible that this "input mode crossover" issue may still exist in more recent revisions.

I'm pretty sure the point is just having different keys to look at in case you need to so remapping is going too far.
I grew up with a SNES and every so often I still mix up A and B when I see in-game prompts so it kind of makes sense

Do people actually look down at their controller when they play games? Who cares what letter is on what button? All you have to do is get acclimated to whatever control scheme your current game is using, which happens in the first hour or two of starting a game.

There's another button you can press for the controller to register as a xbox>sony>nintendo controller, but this face button one is purely visual

I had a Tarantula Pro for a bit but returned it because the dpad was worthless for fighting games, but this feature was handy for MHWilds where Steam Controller wasn't playing nice with DS4Windows

I got the Tegetinia Lite recently and it has the same software-swapping function for way cheaper but the dpad is still dogshit

Definitely the case with 8Bitdo, seeing daily threads for years for both them and Gulikit soured me on those brands.
I'm not entirely convinced the recent uptick in Gamesir threads is marketing yet, but given they unironically started marketing to India I wouldn't be surprised if saarposting was a legitimate marketing strat for the other side of that coin. Given recent 404'd threads I think it's just part saarposting and part falseflagging currently, but we'll see how dedicated the schizo/marketers are I guess.

You have deformed hands if that happens. Hands at rest with index fingers pointed forward, such as towards the triggers, will have thumbs closer to parallel with the index finger.

or the way they do it is shine LEDs through preset icons and only had space to do the rotation for switch and xbox layouts

I would've just done screens for each button but then maybe the controller would have cost many dabloons.

Fine, I'll be the bigger man.
Bottom sticks feels better for me personally, and top sticks feel better for you personally, regardless of which is "correct" or "superior".
Manufacturers should account for both instead of pushing one agenda, so they are to blame.

custom icons would be kinda dope but ulitmately not worth the engineering costs

I can roll with that. Look I was only matching your "subhuman monkey" energy. If you wanted a normal conversation, I could have done that too.

It's just consoomer's console warring about which Chinese brand of third party controllers is better. Get used to it, bro. That's the future. China cannot be contained.

Don't like the d-pad? I'm a fan of it myself, feels like a more defined version of what's on an 8bitdo Pro 2, which has a d-pad that already feels like an upgraded Dualshock 4 itself.

It's pretty much backporting all of the Ultimate 2 goodies to the symmetrical layout while having its own new features. TMR analog sticks, extra shoulder buttons, dome switch d-pad, charging dock. Unfortunately drops the replaceable batteries, and the button swapping gimmick ruins the look of the Game Boy themed color.

You're witnessing a market penetration in progress, not shilling. Or, rather, it's shill hunters and Logitech F310 memelords that take offense to controllers getting posted.

You're seeing a lot of Gamesir "shilling" because a Tegenaria Lite is fucking $20 for a hall effect controller of good build quality.

They actually fixed it to have full range in all 8 directions with a firmware update, but it is still too sensitive like all aftermarket solutions, leading to issues in games that require precision inputs like fzero and to a lesser extent goldeneye/perfect dark
I wish these motherfuckers who make steel bowls for the OG could keep their shit in stock

Is the quality much better than the easysmx x20?
Don't think I need or want any fancy gimmicks, but some long lasting quality would be nice. My dualsense is finally really showing stick drift on both sides.

Don't know, haven't actually tried it. Heard good things about 8bitdo's implementation of membrane over dome switch but I was holding out for a symmetrical controller.

Yeah well anything works for games where the most complicated motion is a double press, but it's just too squishy and imprecise for fighting game motion inputs or wave dashes

That's so pointless. I want it to actually move the A button signal to come from the right button so I don't have to rebind controls in the emulator. Is there a single controller with SNES layout where you don't have to remember to also change the controls in the emulator?
