I been looking to buy this controller. To bad that all the reviews videos I found here on TH-cam there is always somebody complaining about the bumper buttons not working well sometimes not even registering the action. This set the alarms for me to not buy it..
Hmm all of the buttons on mine worked just fine! I’ll have a long term review for this controller later on, but no issues like that yet! I paid out of pocket for mine, so I would for sure be returning it if I had that issue
I learned rocket league on an elite controller with the paddles, but after 1700 hours it needs a replacement so I ordered this one for the buttons on the back.
Heck yeah! I loved playing rocket league with this controller. The buttons on the back aren't as good as actual paddles, but they're still very nice to have!
@@brandonfirman8694 The only thing I ran into was the shape. I found the squared off shape started to cause discomfort in my right index finger when shooting. Nothing mechanical.
Thanks so much for the review. Thinking of buying it too :-) I think it doesn't work on Android tablets is that correct? I'm looking for a controller for my kids Lenovo tablet and also PC windows10.
Hmm I’m honestly not sure if it can work with a tablet! You’d have to get a USB A to C adapter(or whatever your laptop uses). If you do want a good one for Android, I would suggest the 8bitdo Pro 2!
@@BaxTechYT Thanks. I thought the ultimate was the latest, but thats wireless. So the pro can work with for eg. android lenovo tablet. That would be nice and windows 10 too.
@@decorix yes! The pro 2 works on switch, android, windows, and Linux. It does use a switch button layout, but you can remap all the buttons in the 8bitdo app!
Hey dude do you have review on how to configure the 8bitdo pro xbox controller its like a ds4 design but it is xbox..do you have a review on that controller?
@@BaxTechYT can you pls do a review on that? And what is the difference of that two controller? And how to configure the one that i told you. Thanks bro
I only have a GameSir X2.. for pc it not works and i decided.. i need to get a controller for PC. I'm thinking about this one but.. istg that long ah cable scares me to death. but.. if i don't find one controller with de-attachable wire + wireless functionality then ..-
The long cable is a good thing though! I’m working on a video for the SteelSeries stratus duo that looks like it’ll be a solid option for PC as well! But also you can’t go wrong with a standard Xbox controller!
@@BaxTechYT Yea.. and i need to get.. that usb thing for bluetooth cuz it would not work. But i would be happy if it would work for android too cuz i game on android too :/ I don't want the cable to be too long too..
Got this controller yeaterday and let me tell you, it is dog shit. Buttons are mushy and often I thought i pressed the RB amd LB buttons, but then it didnt register. The only buttons that are responsive are two at the back, which you will press them accidentally all the time
Interesting🤔 I would send it back to 8bitdo for a replacement. It may have been a bad one. Mine as well as my other controllers from them have all been fantastic!
Nice controller overall. Wanted to love it but rumble was all screwed up and unevern on both sides. Sent it back for replacement (Amazon). Same problem. I'll try again in a year after 1st generation are either sold or fixed. Too bad. :(
@@BaxTechYT Not yet. Buying three more. I figure between them, I should get ONE good one! LOL If not, at that point I'll contact them. I really like the feel of this controller so trying to work it out.
@@BaxTechYT i used Brook wingman NS, and support all official Microsoft, PDP, Hori and PowerA controllers, but don't work with this. Another adapter is myflash but i don't know if It work.
Thank you for commenting on the ergonomics of the paddles not enough people were commenting on that.
No problem! Even though they’re kinda easy to hit, they’re very nice
Love the 8bitdo pro 2. I have a few of them. And I use them wired. This looks appealing too. Maybe will get one.
If you love the pro 2, you’ll love this one! They nailed the shape of this controller

What is weird for me is that none of the tech rewiers talk about..

FYI, you can use this on the xbox360 if you also use the brook wingman XB AND mayflash magic s-pro adapters.
Oh nice, that’s handy to know!
I like the design of the control and I am digging the pink
It’s a cool controller! And they have a wireless version now!
@@BaxTechYT now that's good to know.

do you like it for rocket league? (@OP)
Got this controller and it is amazing. For the money, you can't beat it. Great review!!! Subbed
Heck yeah, and thank you so much!! I’m loving this controller so far!
After two months, did you found any issue using this controller? Thanks

@@SeriouslyTechStuff hey man, what about now? after 1 year?
@@alikucuk4816 Switched to PC so it's sitting in a drawer. Still works find though.
Seems like a great controller! Not being wireless though is a bit of a let down. Overall though, seems like a buy!
It’s solid dude! Been using it a lot for some games on gamepass and I’m in love!
As someone who prefers wired when at a desk it is no such downside
it's not paddles its back buttons. Paddles was shape like actually paddles. Buttons usually sticked into the controller and paddles were not.
Ah you’re right, but either way I think the general idea is understood. Thanks for the input!
congratulations for wanting to correct something that is insignificant.
Love this guy! Best reviews on TH-cam!
You’re making me blush😍
have you found this still has held up?
Some what. With the new wireless version out and just a little more, it’s almost hard to recommend this. Unless you’re buying specially for Xbox
and about fps games, this controller can give us precision that we need to play fos games?
Well you can fine tune the joystick dead zones and things like that in the app, which can help your accuracy and control in certain games!

Did this one ever get stick drift? I hear that happens a lot
I've always found hangups regarding wired pads odd.
Sorry for the slow reply, TH-cam didn't show me your comment! But I totally agree. I never even notice the cord!
Hey dude do you have review on how to configure the 8bitdo pro xbox controller its like a ds4 design but it is xbox..do you have a review on that controller?
I don’t have a review on that one sadly. I do have the wireless pro 2 that I’ll be doing a video on soon!

@@kenmaxwell4920 hopefully someday! Right now I have to buy everything I talk about on the channel, so I have to keep myself from going broke🤣
I wonder what size kontrol freeks fit
Hmm I have no idea on that. The joysticks feel just about the same size as the standard Xbox controller to me

@@acdyman haha well hopefully one of those 3 will work out!
how adapter i can use to connect on Nintendo Switch?
I don't think they make one! This controller is designed for the Xbox and PC, so I'm not sure if it would be adapted to work on switch
@@BaxTechYT i used Brook wingman NS, and support all official Microsoft, PDP, Hori and PowerA controllers, but don't work with this. Another adapter is myflash but i don't know if It work.
I have large hands an i play with it?
For sure! My fingers are pretty long, and it feels great to me
@@BaxTechYT okay thanks
Vibration motors are so bad
They feel pretty solid to me. I little more toned down than other controllers. You do have the ability to adjust it in the app
@@BaxTechYT had it at max and still feels very low
looks uncomfy with the straight sides
Personally I love it! They’re not completely straight, but I feel like it’s a much more natural grip
