Thanks for the video. I was deciding between this and the ultimate Bluetooth and I think I’ll go with the 2.4g because it’s cheaper. Glad to know it still has Bluetooth, hopefully it works
I believe the newer versions of this controller (non Bluetooth) are Hall effect sticks now. I just got one and there’s a sticker on the box that says they are

The hidden Bluetooth mode for steam deck works for Fire TV Luna games, also I am able to connect my 2.4 GHz (non-hall) model to my iOS iPhone as well and play games on iPhone!!
That makes the $20 difference even more stupid. The hall effect pieces aren't that expensive so they should probably lower the prices. On the other hand, most people will never know.
Well yes but they'll kill off a lot of their revenue, a modest price bump of like 30% the price for at least 2x the controller lifespan is still a great deal. Company's gotta live so they can bring us more of this ya know
I wanted to ask , once you pair it to steam deck with Bluetooth mode does it connect automatically connect when you switch to d-input or do you have to to go through putting it into Bluetooth mode and connecting it again??
I can't seem to get mine paired regardless of what I try. My firmware is the latest on the controller, even with wired pro controller pairing on it just won't connect.
It doesn't work out of the box on android 11 so I bought a usb c to c cable and switch to dinput now it works it maybe on old firmware I'm still waiting for the pc to be delivered
is this fake? i cant find v2 and if i update manually its says "the firmware you choose is for "8bitdo Ultimate 2.4g" and it does not match the "8bitDo Ultimate Receiver" 12307
50$? На aliexpress стоимость 27$. Доставка 3 дня. Хотя может в вашей стране всё может координально различается, но факт есть факт, переплата за Bluetooth версию черезчур.
IMO it is very unhelpful to sell the same shell in loads of different configurations. I bought a non BT one by accident but I'm glad I did now as I've saved money with a free upgrade.
@@MrAlternation Seems to be now, I'm using it fine with BT on my Steam Deck without a dongle. Don't know if there's marginally better features but it's functioning great.
wtf! Thankyou! I actually bought this controller a few days ago and f**ked up as I bought a wireless version but not a BT one. This fix actually works and I'm connected to my Steam Deck without the dongle!!!
tbh i thought the switch connection was fake i tried it out and it actually worked! ty!!!!
É real!
But they don't market it as compatible with switch. The only thing that kept me buying.
For everyone struggling connecting to switch a channel just made a video 4 days ago that explains how to connect it
Where is the video buddy

Man, I love you, after connecting to bluetooth now I can custumize the P1 and P2, thank you so much!
bruh I could not connect mine to my Mac OS (literally out of the box) Thank you for this! You're a life saver!
I've been almost an hour trying to do this. Thanks.
Thanks for the video. I was deciding between this and the ultimate Bluetooth and I think I’ll go with the 2.4g because it’s cheaper. Glad to know it still has Bluetooth, hopefully it works
did it work? i got the bluetooth one cause it also has the 2.4g connection and was the same price as the other one today. 49.99 USD
I believe the newer versions of this controller (non Bluetooth) are Hall effect sticks now. I just got one and there’s a sticker on the box that says they are
Yes they do, I can confirm since I just got one as well
Man I love you so much 😭😭
Great vid bro! Thanks for the info!

I managed to connect mine with my switch. It's paired, but the buttons or joystick is not working, how can I fix this?
It's connected but not actually paired, this happened to me. All you do is update the firmware & you're good.
The hidden Bluetooth mode for steam deck works for Fire TV Luna games, also I am able to connect my 2.4 GHz (non-hall) model to my iOS iPhone as well and play games on iPhone!!

the switch style one has motion controls
the newer batch of 2.4g ver even have hall effect sticks for the same price now
I wanted to ask , once you pair it to steam deck with Bluetooth mode does it connect automatically connect when you switch to d-input or do you have to to go through putting it into Bluetooth mode and connecting it again??
I can't seem to get mine paired regardless of what I try. My firmware is the latest on the controller, even with wired pro controller pairing on it just won't connect.
hey! did you fix it?
Can you test and see if the Bluetooth mode works on cod mobile on phones please!!
It doesn't work out of the box on android 11 so I bought a usb c to c cable and switch to dinput now it works it maybe on old firmware I'm still waiting for the pc to be delivered
The controller's manual must have a direct link to this Reel ❤
It got a hall effect update, i wonder if it has gyro too now
Can you show a tutorial for the switch mode mine doesn't work
If it doesnt you need to turn on wired pro controlers in your settings then it does work
@@dharronschoemaker638thanks man
Can I connect it while it’s in the dock
i'm slightly confused. I've used like 4 different controllers on bluetooth for the steam deck without issue... Is that actually a problem for some?
Can you program the paddle buttons on Switch?
can i use this controller for my Xbox one?
There are now 2x 2.4ghz versions: with hall joysticks or without
does this work for both?
Does this work on the Chongyun Genshin Impact version as well?
It does
is this fake? i cant find v2 and if i update manually its says "the firmware you choose is for "8bitdo Ultimate 2.4g" and it does not match the "8bitDo Ultimate Receiver" 12307
hello, does this version have motion control ? can you try and test it on your switch for me ?
Are the xyab buttons as noisy as the Xbox controller? I'm trying to avoid them
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Can I use a regular USB to type c instead of a dongle
how to go back to 2.4g mode after switching to bt mode
so now there's no reason to buy the more expensive version other than the hall sticks?
That, bluetooth mode on the switch, and gyro + switch wake up
Thank you bro I disconnected my controllers and completely forgot how I connected them via Bluetooth.
Thank you!
Is the dongle absolutely required in order to connect to the switch?
this is what i want to know. because i’m doing this on my switch and also updated beforehand and it’s not working.
Yes, the dongle is required.
do you think it will work on ios especially in ipad pro?
How can I use it to play on my phone will have to update it ?
I must know as this would be important if I try to buy this. If I attempt to use this on my Switch will it work on it while it’s in the Switch Dock?
Directly connected as in where you charge the switch?
do you have to buy the adapter?
do it work into blueretro ps2 adapter?
mine has only 1.8v firmware
what game are you playing in the video
So with this feature, it can connect to PC via bluetooth not using dongle, right?
correct
@@bobdotexewhat about android
Thx brooooo❤
If you have a Switch then just get the Ultimate. The Ultimate is actually $50 right now on Amazon. Just bought the white one.
What video game is he playing?
I cant connect to my switch
A hidden bluetooth feature??
It also has hall fx right?
This 2.4g ultimate doesn't have hall effects on them
Yes it does
@@dennisbadillo3705ohh yep it does have, realized it late that it does include hall effects too like the full wireless one
the model shown in this video is an older version without hall sticks,

2.4g is faster than bluetooth. And now you can change to Bluetooth as well so it's a double win o/
This is explained so complicated! I cant connect to my switch
What games was that ?
Can use it with Apple?
I believe so
so why sell the more expensive one?
Switch layout + hall effect joysticks + hd rumble + motion controls

@@Negativvv so its the same thing?
@@MrAlternation Seems to be now, I'm using it fine with BT on my Steam Deck without a dongle. Don't know if there's marginally better features but it's functioning great.
the BT connection with the hall effects one doesnt even have good control or support when used with phone and pc
Does it work on xbox?
idk I'm asking aswell
Hey man great video but can you help me with a call ??? I’m struggling here !!
contacting 8bitdo support directly would likely be better,
