Yeah i just subbed today. The quality is insane.

that's how basically every controller's vibration motors have been since forever. check a ps3 or any other controller for comparison. they're referred to as "fine" and "coarse" vibration motors. they can be spun at different combinations of speeds to get a lot of different feels, like the 20 years-ago version of haptic feedback

For thumb grips, I use the skull&co rubber Xbox one version and they fit perfectly, they don't rotate at all and feel great

One thing I didn't see you mention, when you connect the charging station to your PC it actually acts as a passthrough to the 2.4ghz receiver inside it. Thought that was kinda cool

Looking forward to having my own come in in the next few days. I already own a Gulikit, but I wanted to give these a try for their back paddles. Interestingly, after seeing your Gulikit review and the poor showing it had on the latency and polling test, I decided to test my own. I keep its firmware up to date, and with the latest firmware version 4.6 it's getting a pretty rock solid 100Hz with something like 3-4 ms jitter wired and anywhere from 5-9 ms jitter wireless. I did realize that spinning the stick prior to running the test helps avoid the really weird high outliers because that way you guarantee you're transmitting an input as you start the test, rather than it waiting like a second before you start moving the stick.

A question I have been asking myself the past two videos I watched from you: which do you prefer? The 8bitDo Ultimate or the Gulikit Kingkong Pro?

Best Controller review of the 8bitdo ultimate I have seen! I'll get one, thanks!

duuuude! Talk about dialing down the niche! Your reviews have been amazing to watch and helped validate my recent purchase I made of this. It just arrived today so wheeeeee! I'd say I wish I had a diff console, other than the switch, so I could justify watching more of your videos. I guess... the justification can be that it's just fun. :) Thanks for the great content!

To chime in on the vibration, it IS by design. The goal was to have a rumble and fine motor feelback, but I agree with you that it just doesn't really work out. it feels bad.

Honestly I’d say the 8bitdo pro 2 might be the best option for most people. It’s only $50, works for switch, pc, and all platforms that support bluetooth. No dock or hall sensing sticks, but I’ve never heard of an 8bitdo controller drifting and have never had an issue on mine. It also has gyro on PC (which is actually great for shooters), and can use Bluetooth for everything, whereas the ultimate is limited to 2.4 for PC (no idea why they made it limited like this when they had it down with the Pro 2. The Gulikit seems to have major gc issues from reviews I’ve seen, so for now the pro 2 seems to be the way to go.

one thing you didn't mention is that the 2.4g dongle plugs into the dock when it's tucked away in there, and the dock serves as a pass through. I have my dock plugged into my PC so I only need to flip the switch on the back of the controller to switch between PC and Switch. Also, you don't need to plug the controller into you PC to use the software, a wireless connection over the dongle works as well making fidgeting with settings easier.

Bought this controller last week on your recommendation and I love it! Dock is so good and it feels real nice. Ty for all the details on this.

Thanks for the video. Controller looks nice. And a nice review for it as usual

This actually works much better as a 2.4 GHz Windows controller, I use it exclusively as such.

What about the latency on Switch? I assume wired is the way to go, followed by 2.4 and then Bluetooth, correct?

I'm pretty sure I saw on the 8bitdo app that you can invert the both x and y axis? Does that inversion carry over to the switch?

Great video you covered almost everything. I have a few questions about this controller: - In the Bluetooth version, you cannot switch between X-input and D-input. Is that a big problem? I hear a lot of people complaining about it, but I don't really know the reason. - Is it compatible with the Steam Deck too? - I read the Motion control + Vibrations doesnt work on the controller at the same time.

sadly, they didnt put the hall sensors other than the BT version which is a big bummer.

Few questions, if you have the time: When using this on a PC, is there a noticeable difference between Bluetooth and the 2.4 dongle? If you have it connected to a PC and a Switch in the same room via Bluetooth, how hard is it to swap between the two, or are you going to accidentally be waking up your Switch every time you want to play something on the PC? When using the 2.4ghz dongle, can you pair multiple controllers to it, or is a 1 dongle to controller connection?

@baonguyenvangia6539

Жыл бұрын

1. Depends on your system's Bluetooth, it can be reliable or not, but if you play on PC connected through Bluetooth, Steam will see it as a Nintendo Switch controller, so I recommend plugging the dongle if you mainly play on PC, as it will see it as an Xbox controller. 2. There's a dedicated physical switch at the back of the controller to toggle between Bluetooth and 2.4Ghz connection, they act seperately, so if your PC has the dock and the Switch is already paired via Bluetooth, they won't ever mix up, the same is true if you do it in reversed, PC Bluetooth and Switch with dongle, plus this controller cannot wake the Switch in any way, shape or form anyways. 3. The dongle is used exclusively for this controller, you cannot pair any other controller to this dongle.

I got this as a gift for my best friend. It’s her favorite controller. She has a lot of hand pain , so she has to be very picky about which controllers she uses. This one by far is the most comfortable to use. She needs 2 back buttons on controllers so she isn’t in as much pain (4 is too much). She loves the ergonomics, the easy to press back buttons, and the more responsive Hall effect sticks. She also really appreciates how easy it is to connect between her PC and switch, as well as the really nice charging dock. She’s been through lots of controllers. Elite 2 was her favorite but the bumpers break on her every time. This one should hopefully last for a ridiculous amount of time.

Another thing that you didn’t mention is that the gyroscope does not work in the 2.4 ghz mode. Bluetooth only.

I found that the difference in vibration motors isn’t actually on a hardware level, but on a software level. Using my 8Bitdo adapter 2, I tried 4 different controllers (Switch pro controller, Dualsense, Xbox Series, 8Bitdo Ultimate) and all 4 exhibited the exact same vibration variation, with the left side feeling more rumbly and the right side feeling more precise. In game however, I noticed no variation in rumble strength between the motors, leading me to believe it’s the Ultimate software itself.

How well is the controller holding up this video made me purchase this and the Xbox style button parts and I want to know if the triggers are still going good.

anyone know if the back buttons can be programmed for the switch on the 2.4 G version, doesn't seem to work for me at all through the software

I have this controller and it does stick drift when the battery is critical low, is it normal? And analog sticks little bit flicky or its just me?

Face buttons are worse than pro controller imo as they are smaller and more like Xbox which I dislike, but they are easy enough to get used to. The rear bumpers are not good. You have to press them straight in. If you hit them from an angle they are much harder to press. On the switch pro these bumpers are hinged from near the center of the controller so they press easy from anywhere. But since these slide straight in without hinging, they are super hard to press sometimes. I have gotten used to it and the control stick being awesome makes up for it, but it’s still something that sours me.
