      Checked and it works! 🙏🏻
      A related question:
      I would love to combine this option with the 2.4ghz connection to my tv (samsung) to use it with steamlink. One controller for switch (bt) and steam (2.4) would be great!
      I managed to get steam/gv recognise a previous 2.4 8bitdo dongle to work with a pro2.
      But with the 2.4 dongle of the ultimate, no succes.
      I’m lost what could be the difference 🤔

    I love that you're actually testing the trigger and stick accuracy. These issues have been present on pretty much all 8bitdo controllers depending on which firmware version you're using (many times newer ones worsen this) but very few people actually address these things

    The whole reason to buy this controller is for the hall effect sticks. The only other controller with them is the guliKit king kong pro which has poor QC issues like buttons and polling rate. The circularity test matches my xbox series x and other third party controllers, it's perfectly normal.

    I'm an avid PSO2 player, and I've gone through three Xbox controllers (two One, one Series) within the 2.5 years playing the game, with the Series controller giving away to joystick drift (left-stick forward in random intervals) in just four months. I, too, have been wanting a Hall Effect -based controller, and we're tied between the KingKong 2 Pro and this. I've looked at KK2P reviews during my Hall effect studies, and some things about that controller specifically aren't needed, like its "AI" button. I'm also in the 8bitdo ecosystem, with the SN30 GP, Pro+, Pro 2, and soon this, with soon-to-be three dongles. Apparently this controller also works on Steam Deck. I like how this controller can have button and gasket replacements; former with the Xbox layout. All I have are a PC, Steam Deck, and a Switch anyway, so this fits the bill.

    I’ve received mine today. Bought it to use with the Switch buy manly to play with emulators on my Nvidia Shield Tv. I didn’t need to do any firmware updates. It automatically connected to my Nvidia Shield TVs as soon as I turned the Bluetooth button on and asked for my Shields to pair with it. Both connected right away and it allows me to control the Shield interface and also any games I’ve tried with it.
    It definitely connects with Android devices.

    I tried an 8bitdo Pro 2 and compared to my Dual Shock 4 (my favorite) and Dual Sense (also good but too bulky) controllers, it felt less comfortable, cheaper and the sticks had nowhere near enough resistance. Considering you think that is better than the ultimate, I will avoid this one too. I am waiting for a controller more like the Dual Shock 4, with a symmetrical stick layout like Sony, but with a nice feel to the analog sticks that are also hall effect.

    Even disregarding my personal preference for Playstation placed analog sticks and the face buttons do seem more comfortable visually, I do think that dropping Android support in order to release two (actually more if we count the wired versions) controllers is a downgrade from the Pro 2 and possibly even the pro+. I like having the "one controller to rule them all". :)

    Very thorough review as usual thanks for the in-depth. No turbo, no retro for me, though. We all grew up with access to first or third party turbo controllers (NES Advantage etc), but most controller manufacturers gloss over this fact. Track and Field 2, Mega Man 3, Contra... C'mon. I've bought four Gamesir T4 Pros last year and they work fine with Android, Switch and PC AND they have turbo. Can't recommend em enough.
