I love his videos, they’re my usual workout “podcasts”. New one is about the 8BitDo controllers, I’ve been lurking about the ultimate one, I’ll finally know if it’s worth it
I have the ultimate bluetooth, it’s really good, but I had to buy replacement ABXY to swap to the xbox layout as I don’t often use it on my switch. The dock is the cherry on top.
I wonder, does it switch easily between Switch and PC? Cause when I use my Pro Controller on Switch and PC, I always need to re-appair it in the BT settings.
YES, there is a physical switch on the bottom of the controller to change modes.
Nice, good to know, thanks!
Out of the loop:
I don’t need controllers for switch, but I use a handful of old DS4 and occasionally a DualSense on my PC. Any advantages to an 8bitdo? I haven’t used one of theirs since an older SNES-looking one.
I think they are good 3rd party controllers, and are a good investment whether you want a “cheap” controller or something compatible across different systems.
I have the 8bitdo SFC30, M30, FC30, Arcade stick, Pro and Ultimate.
I only realized it late that I have become a big fan of them :D
Would you recommend the Arcade Stick?
Yes and no, the arcade stick is nice on all arcade type games except fighting games. The default stick is a 4 way gate which is not really that great when it comes to doing special move inputs, especially complicated ones. It can be done but it feels nicer with an 8 way gate.
However the stick by itself is moddable, you can replace the stick with an 8 way, although looking for mod parts can be tricky. There are tons of youtube videos regarding it and to be honest I haven’t checked these videos yet but probably one of them shows where to buy parts for modding.
Sounds not too bad, I think I will give it a try. Thanks for sharing!
