Does This Controller Work on a Windows PC? [8Bitdo Ultimate C Review]
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ส.ค. 2024
- The 8Bitdo Ultimate C Bluetooth Controller only states that it's compatible with the Nintendo Switch. In this video, we show how it is indeed possible to use the controller on a Windows PC using Steam, within Epic Games Launcher, and also on a Steam Deck.
But is it worth saving 20$ on the upper tier of 8bitdo controller? - And more importantly, will I regret my purchase decision?

I've got this controller hooked up to my pc. Great for retro/emulation
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.
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?
@@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".
@@Tsargate It's good , thanks for info.
Hi pc gamepasste compatible does it work
@@capicikalkan9901 yup
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...
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. 👍
It seems a pretty nice controller, dose it work on MAC or PS5 too? or do you need the dongle
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.
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.
Tbh it's a good controller. I was just peeved that they announced a cheaper one for PCs as I got this one 😂
Where is the battery indicator?
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 😂
Nintendo Pro Controller is quite ok with Steam games. Other games need a bit more setup.
As per another review on TH-cam this does not have a halo effect buttons.
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! 😂
If you pair it with the ultimate software you can adjust button layout, trigger sensitivity and more.
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.
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!
! 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!
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
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
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
I want to get this solely for switch emulationz look's good for the price.
The ultimate 2C just came out, it's awesome.
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 :-(
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
you have to turn on using the power button + X button, then it will turn on in pc mode instead of mobile mode
@@Cruuxy That's crazy ... Wait, for real? 😂
@@TeamPandory Yeah, it works for me
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.
@@TeamPandory i tought that this would work in this version. It's strange that there isn't native support for Fortnite or other games
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
Maybe you should have read the directions 😂
Want a controller for PC? Then just get Logitech F710. That thing works. Trust me. Trust me👌
😂 No, I get it, and have one. It's okay, but that thing definitely needs a better dpad.
That also lacks analogue triggers doesn't it ?
Only for submarines
@@Trmns There was not a control method in the world that could have saved OceanGate's Titan from it's demise😵
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.
