in 5:29, the language was not in Japanese but chinese. 左摇杆 = left joystick, 十字键 = D Pad, and 右摇杆 = Right joystick. 八向 = 8 Directions and 四向 = 4 Directions (ways). As always, your review is really great. Cheers.
The older model is 89.99 dollars and has Bluetooth, and yes, their 20 dollar universal dangle would make it work in any platform as well (the dangle they sell separately, not the one that comes with it)
I bought this product a while ago for a fight game (tekken). Input lag performance is really important for fight game arcade sticks. When I connected wireless 2.4g to my computer, there was very little input lag. It's a great performance. If you play street fighters and Tekken on a computer, this arcade stick would be a very good choice.
2.4GHz controllers are usually between 1-3ms of input latency (10 times less than Bluetooth) so I'd be surprised if even Daigo could tell you the difference in a double blind test.
But how would that work? Regular TVs are way to dark and slow for that. Maybe the latest OLEDs with HDR could be bright enough to emulate the glowing phosphor. I just bought a Samsung S95D and it is really bright, but I don’t know if its bright enough to trigger the photo cell of the light gun, like a CRT does. The second problem is latency. Only analogue CRTs are latency free. Modern TVs and monitors have very low latency, but it still isn’t zero and on the same frame. The exact same frame however is necessary for the light gun to work at all. Maybe they could develop a whole new technology for lightguns. But I think if thats possible someone would’ve done that already. We switched to less precise options like cameras and motion sensors when CRTs went away. Just imagine a huge modern OLED with a Retrotink 4K and a working lightgun! It would be the absolute best looking gaming ever! Bigger and better than the original CRTs we had in the nineties.
Want to get into a fighting game with the plethora of them coming out this year. I need that "COMBO BREAKER!" and "ULTRA!" booming throughout the house.
I think it’s important to note that the joystick is harder to replace with this new PCB board. Might be a dealbreaker for some people if they want easy mods like with the Switch iteration
Yes, it uses a joystick connector that has pins much closer to each other than just being able to use a the 5 wire harness. You would need to cut the cables that are soldered to the joystick and solder those cables to the 5 wire harness to connect to the joystick.
I've been using the Switch/PC/Android version with Bluetooth and 2.4ghz on my Xbox for years now. All that's needed is an adapter from wingman. I'd recommend getting the "Switch" version of the arcade stick since it's only $89. Add the wingman adapter on there and it's a little bit more than the Xbox stick. But it also works on everything then.
@@bobbrown-so2gt You plug the wingman adapter into the Xbox. You can connect just to that via Bluetooth OR you can plug the 8bitdo 2.4ghz dongle into the wingman dongle. Looks goofy as hell but it connects via 2.4ghz then
@@bobbrown-so2gt No, I've never experienced a random disconnection. I've been playing Street Fighter 6 all day with the double dongle setup. Not a single disconnection or issue.
This is pretty dope for a few reasons. That being the wireless part but also that it's xbox certified meaning it won't get banned in the upcoming ban wave. Also pretty decent mod options is nice. The price is low though in a world where other sticks kind of have fantasy land prices these days. It's not the most high end thing of course but 99% of people will be just fine with this as it is stock quite frankly.
For anyone buying this for PC...this is 100% identical to the Nintendo style one they already released but it costs $30 more than it due to Xbox licensing fees. If you're getting this for PC get that version if you wanna save $30 since it's $90. This Xbox version is $120. Also it's weird you say you were wanting to pick up this specific one because it works on PC when the original 8BitDo Arcade Stick this is based on was also designed for PC and costs $30 less. It's literally the same thing as this. The $90 stick actually has customized lights that change depending on if you're using Xbox layout buttons or Nintendo buttons which this one lacks
Might pick this one up for my boy. Love my original PC/Switch version and have modded it with a sanwa silent stick with a transparent blue bat top and transparent blue stick shaft cover and sanwa silent blue buttons.
I got two of the older model of their sticks and have modded them with new gates, sticks and buttons. 8bitdo makes some great stuff. Both 2.4 and BT works great on those so I imagine these work just as good!
I purchased this and wanted to replace the joystick with a Sanwa joystick and it is not the same as the 8bitdo Switch PC version. I'm kind of lost on what to do. I did cut the solder wires off the joystick and I did try to splice the yellow wire together with the red wire from the Sanwa 5 pin cable and has a yellow wire that is ground too but did not get any direction input. I was told that I have to solder the wires to the PCboard for it to work. Really like this joystick and if it was very easy to mod I would like it better. Thanks for the great video!
Observed the way your left hand rests on the area left of the stick.. looks like there ain't enough real estate to rest the left hand in a comfortable way while working the stick
"If you want to upgrade it, you can get into this very easily." False statement. I've tried 5 Torx T10's including one made for XBOX and they don't fit. I still haven't found a driver that fits the screws. Update: it uses standard Philips head now, but the shaft is so tight, I couldn't tell if I was loosening the screws. It was kind of a pain....
this be perfect for retro on my PC CoinOps build.. Cave shmups etc.. also Kung Fu Master be proper playable, you need a joystick to waggle away from being grabbed! hopeless on a joypad
i have the switch one - i use it 99% on the pc and it works flawlessly with ubuntu 20.04, using both the dongle and bluetooth. maybe i am a heavy player, leaning too much on it but it does slide around a bit leading to missed angles for charge characters.
Two easy + cheap solutions for that 1) cut an old mouspad in half and glue the two halves on the bottom for more grip. 2) buy a few rolls of pennies and tape them inside the case with Gorilla tape. You'd be surprised at how well both work.
I have the original 8bitdo stick and it had bluetooth, dongle, and wired as well as a toggle to switch from xbox layout to nintendo switch.. So this does seem cut down.
I noticed that as well, as I was hoping that I could connect it also to an iPad and noticed that the older version did have BT. But... In some of the reviews they mentioned that the lag was noticeable through BT, but not through 2.5GHz or USB. So that might be one of the reasons they removed it, managing expectations maybe? I'm considering this, will look at the alternatives.
Ordered! Thanks for the video. Can’t wait to play Street Fighter 6 & Mortal Kombat with this. Will this work with the PlayStation 5 with the dongle or only Xbox & PC?
Thanks for the review. Question about the ‘controller to joystick’ switch. If I understood correctly, this switch allows for any game on the Xbox Series to see the stick as an Xbox controller? Therefore, any game - not just fighting games - but strategies, fps, platformers etc., can be played with this arcade stick? Many thanks!
Hi, I haven’t found the answer to this question yet. I just bought one, but some games on Cbox are not recognizing my 8bitdo, no matter if it’s in joystick or controller mode. Maybe I’m doing something wrong? I wish there was an explanation somewhere.
@@alwatson8157 Sorry to hear that. I would recommend emailing 8bitDo customer service, they are quick to reply. From the info I have (and please keep in mind I don't own this Xbox version of the 8bitDo arcade stick), if the stick is in the controller mode, every Xbox game should be playable. Unfortunately, I can't test this myself. But 8BitDo did mention an update was coming and by now should have already been released. Maybe try to update the stick.
Yep the original 8bitdo stick is identical and costs $30 less than this. Well mostly identical because the cheaper stick actually has light up buttons that change depending on if you're using Xbox style or Nintendo style buttons
That defeats the purpose of having a wireless stick, unless you are talking about the Brook Wireless PCB. I have a BUFB in all my wired sticks, but I mostly use my 8bitdo simply because it's wireless when I play at home.
I like the older one a bit better, this one is cool but the backlit button layout for switch and xbox looks super nice also you can get it to work with Xbox as well with an adapter....if you get that adapter it will be a bit more than this one but will also work on a switch.....I changed the buttons and put silencers on them once I change the stick I'll be a bit more happy but I've been loving it for Strive and SFV/6 so far for casual use but upgrading the stick to have a bit more resistance is the way to go if you flick the stick down the force is gonna give you a jump if you just naturally let it go up which can be a good or a bad thing depending how you look at it.
i got this arcade stick for Xbox X new street fighter but it cost 50 dollars more without bluetooth support compare to my 2020 switch version cost 99 dollars USD
Man its difficult to find arcade sticks like that here in the philippines , we do have e-commerce here , but im afraid i'll get ripped off Would love to use this at home or when im joining tekken tournaments 🤟❤
How well does this work with earlier 8 bit generation game machine emulation, particularly the Commodore 64? I'm running Cloanto's C64 Forever and it can be quite fussy with controllers. If it works well, this might be a purchase.
This is weird. the ultimate software on this xbox controller has no macro section. On their original 8bitdo arcade stick (non xbox version), the software has macros you can assign to p1 and p2. Also, it shows up as a xbox360 controller so you can just get a brook converter (like wingman fgc) and use it on xbox one/ps5 no problem -- with the macro functionality!
why are the RB & LB buttons laterally inversed?? surely left is left and right is right, but here they are laid out opposite.. dumb if you ask me.. try playing a pinball game using these buttons, you'll know what i mean
Dont understand the point of using a stick and then adding latency through wireless? If you are going to pay for a stick, might as well go all in and get one with the top Sanwa sticks and buttons for longevity and superior feel. My choice was the Nacon daija, expensive, but fantastic. Stick play for fighting games and shoot em ups is essential imo, it makes playing such titles much more enjoyable.
Kinda missing the comparison with the old version of which you did a review 2 years ago. That thing is also quite heavy I doubt this is different. Other than that, the old version has bluetooth.
Mine gets here on the 7th can’t fucking wait. Gonna be my first good fighting stick, the one I have now is good just doesn’t let me use my mic when I use it on Xbox so gonna sell it once I get this one!
Okay. I just got my stick. It works great wired but I think my dongle is a dud. It doesn’t light up at all etc. which specific one would I need to replace the one that came in the box. Please and thank you.
Just do a google search for "8bitdo arcade stick review and unbox - NO SOLDER REQUIRED". I really don't know why so many people seem to think you need to solder? It's as easy as undoing 4 screws and pulling a cable out and connecting a new 5 pin cable.
Do you know if this will work with Train Sim World Series 1,2 and 3 on Xbox Series X as I hate using the game pad and would love to have a more cab controller setup like experience. Please help with info and thanks for everything.
Quick question, for street 6 I like to play world tour mode, am I going to move the camera around with this? Since it doesn’t have a “ right analog “ stick ?
There is am option to use the stick as either right or left or if you set it to the middle function you can tap the top right map able button to turn right or left by taping that after turning the stick right or left. Just discovered this playing world tour myself. The button on the left side becomes l3 sprint in this instance too.
I wonder if 8bitdo will make an RC car like controller for racing gaming. where you have a mini steering wheel and buttons to control the game. that would be sick for those of us that can't use our legs with a legit wheel/pedal setup.
Today I saw a Thrustmaster ESWAP XR PRO CONTROLLER Forza Horizon 5 edition with a mini steering wheel!!! I hope this comes close to your hopes & Dreams. Please let me know. Greetings MisterSpacey
You should actually test the input latency on the wire. The Switch version has surprising results on the MiSTER input lag spreadsheet that indicate that wired is as slow as 2.4ghz which is actually 3ms slower on average than the Bluetooth connection. All of them are close to sub-10ms and playable though. The old wisdom that 2.4 gig is faster than BT, and that wired has no lag, is largely inaccurate and needs to be tested device-to-device. Search for the mister input latency doc. Links in comments are usually removed.
Depends on the design. Some arcades stick pcb's that'll def do 1ms. rp2040 is my favorite. Sub 1ms and open source powered. Better to build your own stick if you want the best latency.
Could I use this kind of Arcade joystick playing FIFA 23 or Forza Horizon? I am quadriplegic and I am desperately looking for a stick joystick Just Like This for Xbox Series S..Could someone help me please?Thanks

$119.99 for those that want to know
Not bad
Not bad for my Killer instinct game
8bit do makes quality products (I have my pro2 since 2 and it's the controller I ever had), so yeah, I think isn't a bad price

Definitely one to consider buying with the extra Sanwa parts I have.
Might pick this one up for my boy. Love my original PC/Switch version and have modded it with a sanwa silent stick with a transparent blue bat top and transparent blue stick shaft cover and sanwa silent blue buttons.
Since it's through software, it would be awesome if they added a third mode for "diagonal 4-way", for games like Q-bert, Congo bongo, etc...

Don’t see how it’s any better than the first one, which I love. It’s Bluetooth and you can use it on just about anything.
It's not supposed to be better, it's just compatible with Xbox One/PC rather than Switch/PC.

Do NOT let your hand go off of your stick when you do any motions. It's kind of like dropping your guard in a boxing match.

Sanwa sticks "fit" but you need to solder the wires to the board as the cables used are not the same.

Just do a google search for "8bitdo arcade stick review and unbox - NO SOLDER REQUIRED". I really don't know why so many people seem to think you need to solder? It's as easy as undoing 4 screws and pulling a cable out and connecting a new 5 pin cable.
Do you know if this will work with Train Sim World Series 1,2 and 3 on Xbox Series X as I hate using the game pad and would love to have a more cab controller setup like experience. Please help with info and thanks for everything.
This would be cool with dos games
Quick question, for street 6 I like to play world tour mode, am I going to move the camera around with this? Since it doesn’t have a “ right analog “ stick ?
There is am option to use the stick as either right or left or if you set it to the middle function you can tap the top right map able button to turn right or left by taping that after turning the stick right or left. Just discovered this playing world tour myself. The button on the left side becomes l3 sprint in this instance too.
The link is incorrect? It's for 8BitDo Mobile Gaming Clip for Xbox
I wonder if 8bitdo will make an RC car like controller for racing gaming. where you have a mini steering wheel and buttons to control the game. that would be sick for those of us that can't use our legs with a legit wheel/pedal setup.
Today I saw a Thrustmaster ESWAP XR PRO CONTROLLER Forza Horizon 5 edition with a mini steering wheel!!! I hope this comes close to your hopes & Dreams. Please let me know. Greetings MisterSpacey
Gentleman, it conect to the Steam Deck by Bluetooth?
Doesn't work with 360? Then what is the point? *Interest immediately drops down*
I have one, I'm looking for less sensitive buttons. Do you have any recommendations? Thanks.
very sound click button ?
If they added macros support, it would be awesome
You should try to land a plane in MSFS with this 😎
"unfortunately it doesn't work with Xbox 360"
Me - *laughs in Brooks Wingman Converter XB2* oh yes it will 😊
You should actually test the input latency on the wire. The Switch version has surprising results on the MiSTER input lag spreadsheet that indicate that wired is as slow as 2.4ghz which is actually 3ms slower on average than the Bluetooth connection. All of them are close to sub-10ms and playable though. The old wisdom that 2.4 gig is faster than BT, and that wired has no lag, is largely inaccurate and needs to be tested device-to-device. Search for the mister input latency doc. Links in comments are usually removed.
Depends on the design. Some arcades stick pcb's that'll def do 1ms. rp2040 is my favorite. Sub 1ms and open source powered. Better to build your own stick if you want the best latency.
Cuando sale a la venta en México ?
Hermano ... Consejo si vas a probé juegos de pelea debes almenos jugar un poquito mejor 😅
Does it work in nintendo switch?
Reminds me of the nes arcade stick i got it for summer games lol 😂

Any chance for per game settings for the joystick? That would be an awesome feature to add to the rest! 😎
