I have 2 controllers from the company I’m think about buying another a 3rd I also like that most of their controllers come with 1 month of Xbox game pass.
@@dannydavito201 mate they are decent had an Xbox 360 controller some years ago they feel much better they also have the magnetic sticks not mechanical type idk how it's called hall effect maybe not sure so they should last and function properly much longer than Xbox ps5
Be careful with that. I've had an issue using a different cable and the controller heats up on the backside where the lights are. That's why I haven't recommended it to anyone.
I got my grey one yesterday and have to say for the price it feels like such a premium product, smaller than the original xbox controller which is a bonus for me, don't get me wrong I do like the original controllers but this is a game changer, with the hall effect sticks at that price range too, these are selling fast, I wouldn't hang around thinking about it, buy one, I ordered a green this morning they are that good, great review by the way
Just picked up the grey one. I had my new Xbox Series S for about a year, and the left stick on the provided wireless controller is already broken (cleaned it, probably wear n tear or electric problem). Feels like a downgrade from the Xbox One controllers, mine are still trucking along after seven years of abuse. Hopefully the 8bitdo one lasts a long time
I agree with that about the Series controllers. They do feel like a downgrade from the One controllers. 8bitdo does make great controllers. I've been using the ones I got for my Switch for over four years now and they still run perfectly.
8BitDo controllers just feel lighter, slightly smaller thanks to the Switch Pro layout, but quality-wise is a HUGE step up from official controllers for hall effect sticks alone.
Hello, thanks for the review. Just wondering if the "Impulse" Triggers are also called hall-effect? Upon checking their website it was stated "Hall-effect Impulse" triggers and on the box it's different. But anyway just ordered one too. Can't wait.
Hall effect is a magnetic trigger. Impulse is the type of rumble that is being used. They combine the two to make it sound fancy. That's all. It's the same type of rumble the standard Series controllers use.
I like them both a lot. I've been using them both about the same amount of time so far and I think one is just as good as the other. If I had to pick one thing, I like the dpad better on the 8bitdo, but the 8bitdo is also cheaper.
Very cool video! Is there any major differences between the new ultimate and the wireless version? Im deciding on which one to get and it seems like this controller has everything the wireless one has (besides the back buttons and.. it being wireless). Which one should I pick up? Im always in need of a second opinion so thanks!
The 3-Mode wireless controller is only wireless for PC and Android. It's still wired for Xbox. If you're looking to use it only on Xbox, I would suggest the C over the 3-Mode.
@RedBandanaGaming aw dang! I wish the wireless version was actually wireless on the xbox. Thanks for the reply, good sir! I will definitely buy the ultimate c, those lights look too cool!
I actually pre-ordered the Ultimate 3-Mode Controller for the XBox. It's pretty much the Ultimate Bluetooth Controller, but made for the XBox. Weirdly, you have to use it wired on the XBox. Not sure if the wireless dongle will work on the XBox, but even if it doesn't it's still a cool controller to have... when it releases.
Hey let me know if it works wirelessly. I still like 10 ft away from my TV and Xbox kick back in the recliner, so a wire controller doesn't really work for me
@@deanmoriarty1519 Tried it yesterday. Unfortunately, the wireless adapter does not work on the XBox. I did however get it to work by connecting the wireless dongle to a Mayflash Magic-X adapter. The share button won't work if you do this, however.
How are the new improvements? They mentioned that they are using microswitch bumpers and dpad - how are they compared to the previous ultimate. Also on the web-site they mentioned improved grip and vibration, are there any differences?
After using it for just a day, I can say I can clearly feel a difference between this and the ultimate I compared it to. It's more responsive and the buttons feel more "snappy", if that makes sense. I didn't really notice much of a difference with the rumble, but I'll definitely pay closer attention. As for the grip, I have always liked how 8bitdo controllers felt and this one is just as good.
Hey yo, thanks for the video, great review btw... Try using music next time for your videos, it tends to be monotonous. Maybe something soft in the BG.
Hey just wondering does the 8bitdo pro 2 for Xbox better than the ultimate? And does it ultimate controller feel too too different from the ps5 controller?
I am hoping to buy the newest version of this 8BitDo Ultimate 2C because of the hall effect and bluetooth, but does it really worth for hall effect. Like for longer usage of a gamepad an xbox controller or a 8BitDo controller with Hall Effect is better ? I don't wanna have drift problem and i want it to be wireless. What do you think? I am gonna use it on pc
I purchased the 2C and I'm waiting for it to arrive. For some reason it was delayed. So I can't comment on it at the moment. It does have a great feature set at a great price though. As for controllers with hall effect sticks, that's what I chose. If you're playing on PC, you also have more options for controllers with 1000hz polling rate too.
@@RedBandanaGaming I think they are having problem to produce. Unfortunately we don't have an official 8BitDo store so couldn't able to purchase one of those. I have asked a store which was selling the C model in my country and they said it might take 1 or 2 months to store those new products. I hope they won't let us wait much longer. Thank you for your reply!
How are the front buttons? I have a Gamesir G7 HE and I really like the mechanical buttons it has (don’t use the back buttons at all and find them annoying) but looking for basic controller with quality components inside without any superfluous features I’m never going to use.
It's very different. This is a standard controller with now extra buttons. It's a solid, yet simple design. For the price, it's unbeatable and it has hall effect sticks and triggers. The extra lights are an awesome addition too.
Somehow I just realized that this controller doesn't have back buttons after purchasing it lol (still waiting for it to arrive tho). At first I panicked because the ultimate ones has those buttons. But seeing you play the game nicely and enjoying it, well I guess nothing to worry about. Glad watching your content, great content btw 😁
How is the d-pad for fighting games? I want to try it on tekken, I like to play a little bit of everything, but my only doubt is that with fighting games.
hey, i alr ordered the controller on amazon for 35€, but i wanna know, whats the polling rate of the controller? i saw on a reddit post talking about the polling rate on the ultimate one but not the ultimate c
@@RedBandanaGaming that didn't do anything. i found the solution, you have to unplug your xbox power cable to power cycle it then replug in the controller.
Has anyone been able to access to the controller app to change the controller settings like vibration strength? I can't seem to access it at all and it's getting frustrating lol
@RedBandanaGaming i've tried, but I can't get past the update screen. Where it has the update symbol in the middle on the top and it won't let me select anything else. I try to hit the r b and lb buttons but nothing happens!. At first I thought I might have downloaded the wrong one, but there's only one available on the microsoft store for xbox.
Dude i just got this in for my wife yesterday after runnjng through 4 standard controllers up until this point we havent had any audio issues no when she has this controller plugged in her audio js great but its giving us oeopke in gane chat our own echoes and feedback. Any suggestions? Ive posted on all xbox forums on fb and eveb emailed manufacture. She also LOVES the controller but it make the party unplayable. Even if her mic is muted it does it.
This controller is top-notch. It still works great. No problems. It's been in my regular rotation of controllers with the Gamesir G7 HE and Hyperkin DuchesS.
I just got my controller roll I didn't just get it my controller old controller messed up I decided to play with it but I can't connect it I don't know what to do it won't connect

Be careful with that. I've had an issue using a different cable and the controller heats up on the backside where the lights are. That's why I haven't recommended it to anyone.
The best part is the detachable cable that they previously didn’t have 💫
That's why mine went bad I had the older version with the undetachable and then the cable got fucked up
