    Great review! I was using the standard Ultimate for Xbox prior to switching to the Gamesir G7 SE. I think I'm going to grab one of these as I really like the extra width in its form factor and the feel of its back buttons. Very interesting that you can re-calibrate the centre-point of the sticks if needed. I'm also pretty tempted to grab the Wired Pro 2 with Hall Effect sticks as well, as that's another favourite of mine for certain games.

    Hey bro thanks! Yeah I really want to try the wired pro 2 too, I think using the bumpers for aim and shoot on that one will be a great option. I personally missed the opportunity of trying the original xbox one, I think I saw the fixed wire and didn’t get it, now I think I missed out on it. I do hope 8bit give more software options for aim output as I do believe this one is definitely a contender against the G7se, also if and when the 1000hz is completely gone from Xbox, this one might even be a better option compared to G7se, as I do believe in 250hz this one feels more responsive for sure.

I'm probably going to switch back to 250hz mode just to be safe. Keep up the great work bro!

    I really like the designs of 8bitdo controllers, would have gotten it if this controller came out earlier. Currently using GameSir T4 Kaleid, it's funny to think that Gulikit and GameSir may have forced 8bitdo to up their game by introducing HAL effect sticks on their controllers.

    Honestly it feels like none of the licensed Xbox controllers are perfect. EswapX ticks most boxes for me but can have serious issues with stick modules, then we have third party modified Xbox controllers and they can be an amazing option but I do feel other controllers outperform standard Xbox controller. The title for a perfect controller I believe would be suitable for some unlicensed controllers like Apex4, rainbow 2 pro, vaider 3 pro, or a dualsense modified controller overclocked to 1000hz on pc with 4 back buttons. There are some controllers that come very close like the stealth ultra, but then really let down by forced minimum and axial deadzones 🤦🏽‍♂️

    I tried the Gulikit KK3 Max controller and wasn't happy with it.. Ii had way to many buildquality issues.. After just a few weeks of use It had developed a RB button squaking very loudy, a left trigger wtih a ticking spring and worst of all a left stick that was not moving smooth anymore when pushing forward with some bump in it when going left & right.. I sent Gulikit an e-mail asking for a replacement and never got an answer, so I refunded it on Amazon.. After that I bought the 8Bido Ultimate 2.4Ghz with hall effect sticks (basically the non-licensed Xbox version as seen in this video).. So far so good after a week of use (PC gaming), no issues.. I liked the shape of the Gulikit a bit more (more like official Xbox) but the 8Bitdo is nice aswell and the software and charging dock it comes with is very nice and easy to use.. I also read a lot more people have issues with the KK3 Max, so yeah in short you can buy one and see if you get lucky not having issues with it, otherwise the 8Bitdo is a very good (probably much more reliable) alternative imho.. Also 30 euro/dollar cheaper (50 vs 80 bucks)..

    Hey bro with the 1000hz on G7se personally I’d pick that over this, but if we take the 1000hz out then this one for sure is more responsive. Arguably the ergonomics will play a part as well, as I had to adjust my grip a bit to use this one effectively, G7se just feels more comfortable to me personally, but the opposite could be the case for some depending on hand size.

    Can you test the circularity of the thumbstick when you pressing down on it cause i have read an article on reddit that it has a weird shape

  • @thephototechy

    @thephototechy

    2 ай бұрын

    Hey I just ran a test on it, and when you press down, the stick registers more movement than it should, resulting in a more pronounced square shape, which is typical when there's no outer dead zone. Thankfully, my unit doesn't exhibit any irregular shapes. The higher circularity error numbers are to be expected in this scenario, as without outer dead zones, the stick axes naturally form a square shape. Pressing down simply accentuates this square shape, rather than the hybrid shape you'd get with a physical thumbstick gate stopping the stick earlier than when pressed in.

    Also i want to say that I recommend you test controllers on apex legends too. Because besides having now Gamesir a dynamic curve, Idk If is a bug or what but after Season 3 reloaded, the responsive curve linear or dynamic on MW3 feels worse, the problem is more noticeable on linear settings. So try the controller also on apex is a good idea. The problem on MW3 could be related to deadzone too maybe not only response curve. When you shoot straight there is not problem, but when the enemy strafe left and right or you shooting straifing the aiming feels off. I recommend you try it on the shooting zone with WSP 9 is more noticeable. Try shooting strafing and you will see that you can't track the bot when he is moving. It feels like a large deadzone. Obviously if you have high sense is less noticeable but the problem still there. Sorry for the long comment

    Hey bro, so you are correct the rgb ring one doesn’t have any back buttons, so it’ll be a solid option for anyone who don’t need them. There is another option which has wireless support on pc and wired on Xbox, that one is more expensive but has extra features such as micro switches in bumpers and Dpad, not sure what ABXY buttons have. The controller is definitely one of really good options for wired on Xbox regardless of its price point. Just be mindful of the stick output which I do believe will be ok coming from standard Xbox controller.

    @@thephototechy For me the company focusing on hall effect controller that provides the betther consistency in quality (for the price they put) is Gamesir, I have 4 T4 Kaleid and 1 G7 SE, and all behave perfect. The company that innovates more in my opinon is Flydigi, but their quality is very inconsistent (and one youtuber girl, Russian If I don´t recall wrongly, opened one of them on camera and showed their low quality work with the soldering, and said other controllers from Flydigi she had seen had the same crappy soldering work), I love Flydigi's sw suite, their habitily to remap buttons to keys on the keyboard, etc... This 8bitdo looks like a good improvement over the previous hall effect controller, which I did not like at all. About sw suites, I love what the Alpakka Controller guys are doing, they are implementing the habilty to program, long press, quick press twice, and normal press, and remap each to any key of the keyboard, I would love any of the chinese makers would copy that, very close to the miriad of options Steam Input gives you. About the not perfect linearity of the graph 17:55, I guess you are moving the stick in only one axis, so the reading are taken from only one the x or y sensor on the stick. If you could isolate reading only the movement of the motor you are using to move the stick, you could see if the motor movement is absolutely linear, and filter out that from your readings on the controller stick. if the readings on the movement of the motor movement are aboslutely linear over the time that movement is happening, and the readings of the movement of the stick over time, due to the movement induced by the motor are still not totally linear, you can infer, that the non linearity is beacuse of something inside the controller, and continue from there.

It wouldn’t surprise me that there’s probably something going on in the back ground which is delaying the HE roll out, as I’ve noticed we haven’t seen a licensed Xbox controller with Gulikit sticks.

    Hi I'm sorry but I don't understand the "linear input part". I was really enjoying the 8BitDo Ultimate Wired (I believe first generation as it does not have hall effect sticks), but unfortunetly my right stick now has drift. From my understanding this would be a pretty good controller for me considering I really liked the one I currently have and just dont want stick drift? I really don't care about programable buttons and wired is preffered for battery cost, not for latency. Thanks!

    It appears that this controller exhibits a distinct algorithm for stick inputs compared to other hall effect controllers. The responsiveness of the controller is impressive, but the unfiltered raw output might be contributing to this behavior

    Bro honestly depends how you use it, for me personally I mainly use G7se and EswapX on my seriesx, both have their advantage and disadvantages and both are not perfect. If EswapX with its aiming algorithm output gets a Hall effect module released by thrustmaster, then I’m certain it can be my main controller.

    Hey thanks for sharing bro, I’ve never had an 8bitdo controller before. I do get what you mean with the aim. You find controllers feel so different to each other at times, but thankfully with different aim settings available in game, I’ve been able to use them effectively. At times I do wonder what would I prefer if I could only have one controller and what sort of output would be best for me. It’s something I’ll make a video on once I’ve tried some gaming pc controllers as well.

    Fam, if possible can you review the 8bitdo pro 2(the new version with hall effect for the xbox) ? I recently I bought an Xbox Series X, and I have try my best to get familiar with the xbox gamepad after years of being a playstation user, but I can't get comfortable with it. And its messing a lot with my gameplay on COD not being able to play claw without the ps4 controller. And I recently find out that the 8bitdo pro 2 is pretty much like a playstation controller for xbox, but I don't know if it can be good for FPS games or just is for retro games.

    Hey bro I’m definitely looking at that one. I have a feeling it should exactly be like this one in performance and only the layout and shell seat is different. That one, BFG and EswapX are the only ones that I know with PlayStation layout, but out of all three I think the 8bit is probably the best ergonomically.

    Off rip, I don't know why this controller even exists. This controller and it's price compared to the GameSir G7 SE makes this controller look like a joke, because it is. It has at least 4 less features than the G7 at almost the same exact price.

    So I have a theory that 8bit and Gamesir are not competing with each other, instead competing with turtlebeach, PDP & PowerA. Both 8bit and Gamesir are from Hongkong and both have managed to get a license from Xbox, which for that part of the work is not a small thing. To me it feels both have decided to cater to different players and their products feel like that. Let’s see what the T4 for Xbox from Gamesir will be like, it wouldn’t surprise me when both 8bit and Gamesir release a 4 back button controller close to each other.
