I wish they'd put the dpad from their Neo Geo controller on the new ultimate C controller. Good to see Steam passthrough works I can remember when it used to be hit and miss.
Which version of the controller are you using exactly? There's no mention of the power button + X in the manual of this, but there IS mention of it in the Ultimate C 2.4G's manual- And that controller actually has an analogue trigger. The one reviewed in this video is the Switch edition with a digital switch for L2 and R2.
I should've watched this before, I got really stressed out because the controls were highkey crazy in every single game. Then I remembered that you could configure a controller on Steam's Controller setting, then I tried playing Celeste and the controls were finally fine. After that, I just have every single game as a Non-Steam game so they can work properly lol.
That problem is caused by steam, for some stpid reason they messed an update who enabled controllers to be used as mouse, it is annoying but there's plenty of tutorials for fixing this
@@13ed0 mine is Android, Pie and PC version with analog triggers by the way, and for a PC I think wired version is comfortable enough yup. And it will never "die".
! YES! If you check the "SWITCH PRO CONTROLLER" option in the Steam settings, it basically turns it into a mouse and makes everything go funky. With that option turned off, all works as normal. Cheers for the comment!
It's opening a virtual keyboard because you have steam input desktop commands enabled. Disable them and it should go away. Also, I'm pretty sure this controller has an xinput mode which would just make it be recognized as a 360 controller instead.
Gotta love Windows... after installing it, you then need to install stuff so you can actually use it to watch videos, listen to audio formats, view various "standard" image formats like .psd or .webp, use game controllers for the major consoles. Stuff that should be baseline OS functions...
It might be worth checking to see if there's a firmware update for it that improves things. I have the 2.4Ghz version & it has had updates since I bought it. I've not noticed any improvements, but it's worth a try.
if you wanted to play on pc you had to buy the pc version, this is the switch version which besides compatibility also differs in triggers, the pc version has analog triggers instead of buttons
You're thinking of the controller that's one tier higher. The Ultimate C doesn't get detected by the Ultimate Software, nor does it have an analog trigger.
this is probably the single controller from 8bit do you shoulg get for pc. it is switch only. it works as we've seen, but yes, the triggers are not analog. it has gyro and hd rumble tho
I found out that epic has a lot of problems with different controllers and the games work just fine with steam. 8bitdo also has a lot of software updates that might fix things (sometimes make it worse though)
I think it's more an underlying Windows + Switch Controller issue. I mean did you see the inputs in the USB Game Controllers window? Pretty sure that the fixes that were shown would also apply to any other Switch compatible controller. Steam saves the day! 😂
I've got both the 8BitDo Pro 2 and the Ultimate 2.4ghz, and i love them even though i barely use them. lol No, but they're actually *really* good for the price. My only complaint though is that they're *TINY,* especially in my hands.
you do know that there is a newer version than what you are reviewing right? would you give the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller a next review then? it's with hall effect sticks and a lot more improvement than the one you got now just for the same 30 dollars price in their website.
Yes, the 2C was released a few weeks after this review had been published. Seems to be pretty similar, but with hall effect sticks/ triggers, and extra buttons. - Looks to be a great little controller for the masses tbh
subscribed, been wanting to buy the purple version with the dongle add onm, I have the version1 of the dongle that allows me to use with the ps4 dual shock4, but i need a spare controller and dongle for my pc.
@@marksayosmejia7251 hey there, thanks for the sub 👍 - all these dongles can be annoying, that's why the pro2 is very satisfying and opened up a gateway to a new age of controller (with the switch at the bottom)
I tried it on Switch, no problem but windows detected it yet i cannot use it. I tried pressing and moving the analogs, nothing. I don't know what's the problem.
@@TeamPandory hey, thanks for the answer. I'm in a series S. I have a 8bitdo Pro 2, I like the symmetrical analog, wanted to keep playing in xbox with it. Thats why I asked
So it connects via Bluetooth to my Android phone. It's seen as a "Pro Controller" but is not function in-game, or even on the Android menu. ... I just tried the SN30 For Android, and that works all well, so the Ultimate C is not Android friendly :-(
Mine works fine with controller compatible games and emulators. I bought the purple one (there's also a green one for pc/android) I used a wired version and attaching a OTG Adapter to my phone to play. There is also a wireless version using a usb dongle and also be used wired via charging cable
@@bahamut505ci yeah, I mean it is more expensive, but the pro2 and selector on the back allows you to use other systems by flicking the switch. To keep pairing is a royal pain in the butt cheeks
Can you try that controller(8btido ultimate c) with 8bitdo wireless USB adapter 2 using mobile/switch and windows? It feels i never see atleast one from yt videos search.
@@LihapullaLammas which version are you using? Bluetooth or the 2.4 dongle? Can you connect the controller ? / Can you check game controller works okay in windows ?
I've got this controller hooked up to my pc. Great for retro/emulation

Incredible video for exactly what I was looking for. You tested everything! I’m extremely pleased.
@@josephjoestar515 you're welcome 😁
you have to turn on using the power button + X button, then it will turn on in pc mode instead of mobile mode

@@TeamPandory i tought that this would work in this version. It's strange that there isn't native support for Fortnite or other games
this is actually the nintendo only controller. very unfortunate you got that. the triggers are actually digital only. it has gyro and HD rumble tho.

I have it wired version and works great on GOG with Cyberpunk.
It's good deal.
Does it make sense to pay extra and get ultimate c 2.4 g or do you think wired will be enough?

Hi pc gamepasste compatible does it work
@@capicikalkan9901 yup
Make sure steam is not running in the back ground when u launch the epic store game and it will work fine…at least for me.
Will give it a shot!

you should give the 2C one a try it's just 30 dollars anyway plus shipping ofc. @@TeamPandory

If you pair it with the ultimate software you can adjust button layout, trigger sensitivity and more.

Nintendo Pro Controller is quite ok with Steam games. Other games need a bit more setup.
I just got the ultimate 2C and man, it's awesome. And I'm a picky one.
@@gustavo9758 yeah, while it's lighter and doesn't have analogue trigger, it's definitely a great controller. 👍
ultimate 2C has hall effect joysticks and triggers thats always a plus for me over ds4
It connects via bluetooth on windows?
As per another review on TH-cam this does not have a halo effect buttons.

I tried it on Switch, no problem but windows detected it yet i cannot use it. I tried pressing and moving the analogs, nothing. I don't know what's the problem.
Close steam and try again.
I think one of the options in the steam controller settings makes this go mental. Give it a shot
@TeamPandory i don't have steam
@@yelyahrenesmee did you connect it via usb cable or by Bluetooth ?
is it worth to buy instead or a xbox controller?
how do i make the controller recognize as a xbox one controller
It seems a pretty nice controller, dose it work on MAC or PS5 too? or do you need the dongle
you need a adapter
With that adapter on xbox, are you able to play with the black controller you've shown?!
That's an excellent question! Will give it a try tomorrow for you 🙂
Sorry, I should ask, which version of XBOX are you talking about here?
@@TeamPandory hey, thanks for the answer. I'm in a series S. I have a 8bitdo Pro 2, I like the symmetrical analog, wanted to keep playing in xbox with it. Thats why I asked
Unfortunately I have OG Xbox and xbox360, nothing later than that so I can't really try it for you. Sorry about that 😔
@@TeamPandory Thanks for trying mate
At what price do you think this version of the controller be woth it once the new one comes out, understanding its limitations?
The Xbox / pc one ? RRP seems to be a couple of dollars higher, but I can see them being sold at the same price... With analogue triggers 😂
Where is the battery indicator?
get the Ultimate 2C version, it has more better features + it only 5$ more than that model XD it crazy.
I was wondering if it would work on an android phone
Just going to try now. Don't have any games to test really though.
Are there any free games on the Play Store you like to use?
So it connects via Bluetooth to my Android phone. It's seen as a "Pro Controller" but is not function in-game, or even on the Android menu.
... I just tried the SN30 For Android, and that works all well, so the Ultimate C is not Android friendly :-(

how does it works for roms for snes?
@@kntwing23 it's a controller. If you're asking if it works on a SNES emulator then yes.
If you want a controller for pc make sure you get one with x input, the sn30 pro2 is better than the ultimate imo.
@@bahamut505ci yeah, I mean it is more expensive, but the pro2 and selector on the back allows you to use other systems by flicking the switch. To keep pairing is a royal pain in the butt cheeks
I have a Wired 8Bitdo Ultimate C controller (Purple) for PC/Android. I think the Blue, Brown and Pink 8BitDo Ultimate C is good for switch only
Hows the purple in person? Looks amazing on the computer screen
@@retroman-- it's good, the buttons feel like a pro controller and affordable

@@yves517 sure thing. It should be fine though.
Will check after lunch 👍
Yes, it can pair up with the 8bitdo wireless usb adapter 2 - Just tried it with Windows.
@@TeamPandory oh, thats really great, what about mobile? Try "The baby in yellow" i think its supports controller.
mine doesnt have a pairing button??
You will have the 2.4ghz version. Sightly different way of connecting, but it could potentially have less latency
Does it work in fortnite on pc?
Asking because i have 2 controlers who not work in fortnite on pc, so tell me to know before buy it pls
@3:49 - Explained here - try it with your current controllers
Bummer, bought this but it's not working on Warzone.
Try using Steam, and add a game as third party. Select the Warzone game / launcher... I reckon that'd get it working.
@@TeamPandory Tried but dint work. That start only launcger not the game. Can you make video how to connect this controller to WarZone?

Maybe you should have read the directions 😂
Budy plz throw this mouse pad in your daughter's setup. Kids must stay away from this kind of depravity .
😨
I'll get an Amiga one for her instead.
Want a controller for PC? Then just get Logitech F710. That thing works. Trust me. Trust me👌
