the NEW 8BitDo Ultimate 3-mode Xbox controller | unboxing & first impressions
feel free to post any questions, comments, & concerns you have! I would love to touch up on anything you have to share 😉
as I just post videos for fun mostly, if you have any recommendations or things that I should add to my videos, I would love to hear feedback on what I can change for the better.

yo, sorry bout the coughing and whatnot in between the recording. as it is
with a first impressions video, this is mostly unediting apart from cutting out my coughs and putting in BGM. I am no way affiliated to 8bitdo, I mean look at me, I have 8 subs and no audience. but yeah.
I've used my xbox elite "series 1" however when I got mine there were no "series" but its showing its age + hall effect senors are becoming the norm so why not jump over to the new top of the line 3rd party controller brand to see what they offer? from my initial glances, I think this controller suites my needs in every way I need it to be as a replacement xbox controller, but honestly even better.
there are things that I didn't mention as its already baseline with the 8bitdo Ultimate but integrated rechargeable battery, hall effect senors, Bluetooth (series 1 needs a dongle), and built in "paddles" its basically the controller for on the go play for basically every single possible thing that is played using a controller. so yeah. I'll see if I will post a follow up to this video regarding the controller but as of right now. I am very pleased with my purchase. -like 80$ 🥲
so this is my secondary channel I guess, its going to be everything else that I want to post that's not gaming. Probably gonna make content here about everything else that I like or things that lead to content being made 😁

    Is this worth it? considering other cheap controllers

    • @snooie
      @snooie 18 ชั่วโมงที่ผ่านมา

      I think that this is a good alternative to the xbox one series controllers both in price point and quality. That being said, it isn't quite cheap. If you are looking for something that you can get a few of for party games or such, I would probably get the wired version of this controller (for PC play). If you are looking for a replacement controller and are used to the xbox form factor, I think this controller will last you far longer than getting any other controller. hope this helps, check out the pinned comment i put or reply to this if you have any other questions or comments. if money is a big factor, I would still lean towards an 8BitDo controller but just get the wired version and save your money if you don't mind the wired aspect / don't need the wireless capabilities.

    Is the 3.5mm audio terminal okay? I'm using gamesir - g7se and the white noise is too much compared to the basic xbox 4th generation pads

    • @snooie
      @snooie 3 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Hello! I have got to say I don't quite get what white noise you are referencing about with the g7se (since i've never used it nor looked into that controller) and if that is supposed to be a feature or an issue with that controller but I just turned on my xbox after it laid dormant in the corner of my room for probably over a year now and put on one of my favorite tracks from daft punk on youtube and it sounded perfectly fine to me. Just want to say this as well since other comments also have questions similar, yes it is wired only to Xbox but thats just the case with Xbox not allowing 3rd party controllers direct connect to them. pretty sure you already know since you are using the g7se. I used my "studio" quality HD58X Jubilee Headphones and didn't hear any audible distortions while plugged into the controller, sounds fine to me just like if you were to plug it into a computer aux jack That in mind, you cannot use the aux jack while wireless, atleast I think so through 2.4g mode if on PC. unsure if Bluetooth works but I highly doubt it as going wired doesn't recognize the controller and subsequently the jack on the controller as an audio output so if you were thinking about using the controller on PC for audio as well, unfortunately it seems not possible. hopes this helps and feel free to reply back if you have any other questions. worse comes to worse, try the controller and if you don't like it or seems not to satisfy your needs, return it for free.

    Hello, hope you are doing well May I ask about the quality of the joysticks, I got a ps4 controller last month for my pc, it was fine at first but now the left joystick is drifting I'm thinking about buying this controller, I want something that will last, I hate having to buy a controller every 4 months, I want something sturdy that will last at least a year

    • @snooie
      @snooie 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      yo! I personally can't say much about how this controller compares to the quality of a ps4 controller just because I have actually never used a PlayStation 4 controller (nor played on one). That being said, I have extensive time on an Xbox One controller, and the 8BitDo controller feels more refined than the Xbox standard. It copys and improves on the xbox controller's aging hardware and is built to last and be the "perfect" controller (xbox controller users on PC). I can't say how long the controller will last you as It is a little crazy to hear a ps4 controller develop stick drift in 4 months so maybe you rack a lot of hours on the controller pretty fast but from the previous versions of the 8BitDo Ultimate controller reviews, the quality and performance have been lasting (part in due with the hall effect thumbstick modules, better technology and hardware compared to the potentiometers in the PS and Xbox controllers) them for quite some time. hope this helps and feel free to reply with any more questions or concerns. The best way to find out if this controller is suitable for you is to just try it out and return it if it doesn't feel right. I've heard about the Guillikit controller and Fly something but 8BitDo have just had a good run with their Ultimate series so hearing about an xbox version made me pick it over the others and so far its worth it for me.

    QUICK FACTS & FAQS: * Despite being licensed by Microsoft/Xbox, the controller only works Wired when USING with XBOX * The controller can be connected to PC by the "3-MODE"s: WIRED, BLUETOOTH, and 2.4Ghz RECIEVER (USB IN THE DOCK) OVERALL the controller is geared towards Xbox users on PC (I say this as you can only use the controller wired on Xbox) for the following reasons - "fixes issues/gripes" with the Ultimate controller (for xbox users) being ⬇ * D-PAD is no longer squishy like the other 8BitDo Ultimates and instead uses switches so they are clicky, more adjacent to an Xbox controller * Bumpers are more similar to Xbox Controller (slight feel difference but negligible) * Obviously you don't need to mod the face buttons for the Xbox AXYB * Has Xbox button legends on the menu/start buttons but, still comes with the features that elevate the controller from just getting a normal xbox controller, ie hall-effect thumbsticks (+ triggers but im unsure), built in battery, and built in back buttons. My thoughts: Coming from a former Xbox user and Xbox controller user on PC (for select games that I decide using a controller is better for), this is the exact controller that you are looking for when it comes to 3rd party controllers that has all the bells and whistles and isn't egregiously overpriced (*cough cough* xbox elite series) but still 70$ is still expensive compared to a base Xbox controller. That being said, if you are looking for a controller that you can use daily for many years to come and not worry about losing any performance from it, this controller solves issues that the series controllers have and not only that, but includes extra features that the standard controller doesn't. The ergonomics are a little different as they are still keeping the same shape of the Switch pro controller but it won't be as a big difference to get used to after using it for a few days. Overall, this replaces my daily driver controller being the xbox one elite series 1 controller that I've been using for 5+ years now, and this controller will probably last me even longer than my elite did and not develop stick drift. worth the money for the quality that Xbox can't match up to with 3rd party companies.

      Triggers are indeed hall-effect, this is mentioned on updated description on store page. I'm interesting in bluetooth connection, back buttons and impulse triggers support in different modes. Bluetooth is a simple Xbox-xinput mode? Does impulse triggers works with 2.4G connection or wired/bluetooth (usual) only? Can you remap back buttons in every mode?

    • @snooie
      @snooie 8 วันที่ผ่านมา

      impulse triggers work with 2.4G but I cant say for sure with bluetooth as I have no way of testing it (i don't have a bluetooth module) the controller has 3 user profiles that they can save to and a default one (cycles through any and all loaded profiles), you can rebind/map any and all buttons on each individual profile. I would assume that the loaded profiles on the controller would be usable regardless of the connection method. only thing that i would like to see 8bitdo is release thumbstick "sensitivity" like how xbox has it but honestly i dont mind it at all. just would be neat.

    • @snooie
      @snooie 13 วันที่ผ่านมา

      yo. yes, you can play wirelessly 2 ways. the controller has 3 modes of connection (Ultimate "3-mode") for PC play: wired, 2.4Ghz (connected with receiver usb that you saw), and bluetooth. albeit you should use the usb when possible as you get less latency but if you are on the go or using your controller at a friend's house or something, the controller has bluetooth so you can leave the receiver at home and pair to whatever you are going to play on without needing to bring it along with you it. hope my response helped you!

    Everything is clicky and amazing…. WTF is with all the pictures eluding to it being wireless, I had to head to the bottom of the page to see wired only on Xbox and I gave it 2 stars. The other ultimates were wireless so I assumed the Official Xbox controller would be too, insane.

    • @snooie
      @snooie 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      I understand, if i thought of getting this to use as a 3rd party Xbox controller (with the Xbox), i wouldn't. It sucks that it's even licensed by Microsoft to work with the Xbox but not be wireless. if i really wanted a better Xbox controller, only thing I could think of is the elite series and even they are overpriced. Just sucks for Xbox users looking for alternative Xbox controllers. For me i only got this because I wanted a better Xbox controller for PC that has both 2.4G + Bluetooth if i didn't want to use the dongle on my laptop or at a friend's house but i feel your frustrations with it being wired only for Xbox. I can only blame Xbox for gatekeeping their tech to even officially licensed brand collaborations.

      @@snooie with you on that 100%, I already had 2 Ultimate controllers with the Hall Effect sticks, no complaints and highly recommended… bought these off the strength of the previous experiences, also used on Switch wirelessly.. this was the biggest miss I’ve seen in a long time and I missed it in the marketing. White one on Amazon doesn’t really show wires period in the pictures.

    • @snooie
      @snooie 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Yeah i get you, they should have made it clear that despite it being quite literally officially licensed by Microsoft/Xbox, it still lacks wireless capability with the Xbox itself. Which ever side limited connectivity with the Xbox is definitely to blame for the marketing as collateral (i would say it's Xbox as even other Xbox licensed controllers are also only wired). I don't think a 3rd party company would intentionally cripple their own products even though it's advertised to be in affiliation with a bigger brand. I'm happy that you were able to get your money back and they should for sure make it clear that it's wired only as with many other 3rd party Xbox controllers for the Xbox. Hopefully 8bitdo reorders their info page or Xbox make their connectivity tech available to other 3rd party companies.

    Was waiting for reviews. What do you think? Worth to upgrade a regular Ultimate Bluetooth? It's kinda okay for me, but I wonder if they actually fixed squishy dpad with mechanical switches, grinding sticks without anti-friction rings (seems to be fixed), loud face buttons, wobbly bumbers and triggers (impulse vibration works on PC in 2.4G mode?)?

    • @snooie
      @snooie 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      yo! Ive been using it for the past few days since unboxing it and it is much better (coming from an Xbox controller user) than the "stock" Ultimate. The dpad uses switches instead of the squishy membrane which was my main gripe and why i instantly boxed it and returned the normal Ultimate after using it for 20 minutes. For me personally, this is a better Xbox Elite (I've only used the series 1 but I've been using it for the past 5+ years as my main controller) and cheaper. Its just better in basically every way (to an Xbox controller) and compared to the Ultimate, this is the controller to get if you are accustomed to xbox. I played through a souls like game with it and found no issues with the controller itself except for me getting used to it but it works perfectly fine out of the box, just a little adjusting to with the shape of the controller but nothing else really. Didn't notice any friction with the thumbsticks, face buttons sounded no different to me, bumper buttons feel like Xbox bumper buttons maybe a little less clicky but still uses a switch and triggers I'm unsure, i turned off vibration (just don't like it personally since I play "mechanical" style games so the rumble can get distracting) but i know that impulse is supposed to work on PC, unsure if it's capable on 2.4G though. Hope this helps, if you have any more questions, feel free to reply. 😀

Ultimate Bluetooth was fine for me and still work flawlessly, but yeah, certain annoyances like grinding sticks, unstable membrane bumpers and dpad, wobbly pressure sensitive triggers, no Xbox features, weren't good enough to be a full time main controller, but I'll decide to keep Ultimate Bluetooth as my backup and Switch controller 👍

    Are the dpad and bumper clickiness similar to the xbox series controllers?

    • @snooie
      @snooie 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      yo. the dpad feels clicky compared to the squisyness of the other 8bitdo controllers. It honestly does feel like an Xbox controller but since the dpad itself is flat (on an Xbox controller) but slightly raised on the edges (on the 8bitdo), it has a little more travel distance to actuate/bottom out compared to an Xbox but it shouldn't degrade your play, just some getting used to. It's way better than the squishy dpad though, i think if you get the controller you'll get used to it pretty quick.

    • @snooie
      @snooie 14 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Forgot to mention the bumpers, i honestly didnt notice any feel difference from an Xbox controller, i think there is a slight difference in travel distance to click/actuate the switch but it's very negligible to me that I've already gotten used to it if that is the case.
