If you leave the dongle in the dock then you can just connect the dock to your PC and it will both charge the controller and act as the wireless receiver. You don’t have to use the dongle separately. That’s how I have mine connected.

Thanks for doing this comparison. All the options available were a bit confusing. The bluetooth one looks like the best fit for me.

Honestly, it would be way more useful if they would just make one controller that supported Xbox, Switch, and PC, and then just charge a bit extra for what ever extra chips they might need. Just price it somewhere between the Ultimate and an Elite controller, and add some modularity to customize per player preference, or platform preference.

Very cool. Thanks for making a video about these.

Good comparison, some of my favorite controllers

I agree with you MLP. I received the ultimate Bluetooth pad for Christmas, it's very nice, but after testing it back to back against my Pro 2, I prefer the Pro. Maybe it's because we're of a certain age now, and can't let go of that basic SNES layout 😄 Because of that, and as you say, hopefully 8bitdo will release a Pro 3, adding to it the good things about the Ultimate BT, but not removing things such as the replaceable battery. Thanks for the great content & all the best for 2023!

I get why the don't have a removable battery anymore. Previous controllers had a major flaw where the battery wasn't secure enough. So the controllers would tend to drift and disconnect unless you push the battery before every play session. And I do mean every play session. That was the only way I could make sure that the battery wouldn't get slightly dislodged

literally bought the ultimate wired the other day. love it so far

You see, I have an 8BitDo SN30Pro+ and I love it for retro, 2D gaming on either Switch or my PC, but it isn't my favorite for 3D games. The reason I'm so excited to get my hands on the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth controller is that it will also seamlessly work between my PC and my Switch, but will handle the 3D games in a more comfortable hand position. I would not have thought to realize that hall effect sensors in the SN30Pro design style would be perfect for those players who do enjoy the "Playstation" layout for their 3D games.

@@billythekid9357 I'm simply not a fan of the symmetrical layout of the sticks for most 3D games. I've spent more time with the Xbox layout, and prefer my primary movement controls underneath where my thumb naturally lands, which is where the d-pad is on the SN30Pro+. This is truly a personal preference thing, and should not dissuade you from looking into the controller.

I have an 8bitdo 2.4ghz ultimate that I use with my steam deck when docked to the tv in my bedroom. It’s awesome and works flawlessly. The controller stand has the adapter plugged into the bottom and is plugged into the steam deck dock so when the deck is docked I literally just pick up the controller off the controller dock and it’s ready to go.

I use the pro2 with my iPad sometimes to do the Xbox streaming and the letter prompts can get a bit confusing if you jump around to different games.

I agree on the grip. I like the SN30 Pro feel in my hands more than the Ultimate

The ultimate wired switch version is great for Xbox style PC/android games since it has the Xbox layout, but also has the turbo button. I did not see the turbo button on the Xbox wired version. I’ve had mine for a month and highly recommend it.

​@@koplakah1983no. Only the bluetooth version have that

The wireless controllers are great for more modern games/3D games. For anyone sensitive to input lag, like me, the lag is noticeable when playing retro 2D games. May want to consider wired depending on how you chose to use it.

I love mine but the plastic on the front feels cheaper than the pro + so it was a little weird. It works perfectly and feels great for 3d games, obviously for 2d you want the pro + or +2. Only complaint is the d pad started squeezing when I push up, not sure how to fix that, but not a big deal since again the analog stick layout is more for 3d games

I love my SN30 pro such amazing little controller

I guess the white one can be used on USB consoles? at least the Evercade VS or Switch on the USB entry with the dongle? thanks Ron!

I got a Bluetooth for the Hall Effect sticks, but it sucks that I can't work it for Xbox unless I literally stack like 3 different adapters on top of eachother.

Last I tried, the wireless ultimates didn’t work on mister. This is an instant deal breaker for me :(

Thanks for the video man! Great content. let me ask you this: Using the 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth (nintendo layout). If I use the "use nintento button layout" option on steam, does games automatically reconfigure to match this button layout? Or I'd have to manually change ingame? Thanks!

dongle can be used thru the charging station i love this thing

the selling point of the bluetooth is the analogs

I absolutely love the Ultimate Bluetooth Controller. I have 3 of them now (a standard and both 10th Anniversary versions). Love the feel in my hand (though I agree the grips could be a little better), the buttons and sticks are responsive and it's so versatile. My only real gripe is that I wish it had a connection switch like in the Pro 2 where yo ucan switch between D-Input, X-Input, Mac and Switch.

The ultimate controller would be the 3D Sega Saturn pad, if it had a 2. analog controller. A perfect controller has a Sega D Pad and 6 Buttons for retro/ fighting games as also two analog for modern games. Best would be two normal L and R as also two analog.

i need 8bitdo to make a wired xbox control with the hall effect sticks

I bought the 2.4G to replace a X360 usb controller for PC, still works fine but the dpad is ass and I wanted more than 125hz polling rate since I got a 165hz monitor. People reported 200hz and 250hz for the BT and wired versions respectively, but unfortunately the 2.4G turned out to be limited to 125hz in both 2.4 and wired. I can live without hall sticks or Switch Pro mode gyro and with a slightly lower battery life, but a low polling rate as well is one compromise too many for 50€, so I sent it back.

Would you review the new 8bitdo wireless charger???

The ultimate 2.4ghz is perfect if you want a wireless controller for PC. That is if its shape doesn't hurt your hands like it did to me. It is my only pet peeve and the reason I had to return it. Makes me kinda sad because it is the best controller I've ever had, and at an amazing price for all the features it has. If you are comfortable with the switch pro type of shape, I can't recommend it enough.

I'm actually really curious about whether or not I can use the 2.4g ultimate face buttons on the bluetooth version. 🤔 I love opening up my controllers and hardware to see how they work and I'll test if I can just swap them around for better steam deck comfort lmfao. I want the buttons to match perfectly god dammit, even if it isn't a reasonable approach for most people.

Great video. This works on Android btw?

How can you make the motion controls work on Horizon Zero Dawn PC using the 8bitdo ultimate bluetooth version?

Can anyone tell me why the controller that is 70 bux cannot combine all modes into one like the pro2 or older model they had in the old days? I know hall effect might be costing more but they use to do xinput, dinput, switch, ps1classic, genesis mini, all in one nice package, that mean you can use it in your PC, switch, ps3, ps1classic, sega genesis mini, android mobile, iPhone, ipad, all with just one controller! What happen to those day? I must be really missing something here. Something that cost 70 should be really the ultimate controller that have all modes and can at least connect to the ones I mention above. Otherwise it's not that ultimate IMO. It's nice, but not ultimate for that price.

Eventually the battery will lose capacity over time. It makes it easier to swap. It being removable also means you can have a second battery ready to go. It's not obvious, but you can also put 2 AA batteries in if you take out the rechargeable battery.
