I have this controller, and I use it perfectly with the app, although once you set a profile, you don’t really need to program the turbo via the app you can just do it manually
@r4nddon Limited how? I'm probably buying this controller in a few days and I'm looking for one that would let me program a macro of around 4-5 inputs and set it to one of the back buttons. I have watched many videos about this controller but literally no one actually makes a macro and test it on any game to see how it works and what you can do with it. Any advice?
I've used this one for a few months now and it's my absolute favourite controller. A thing I wished you talked about is the ergonomics. The grips are more vertical than most controllers and there have been people pointing that this might get uncomfortable over time. I personally have no problem with that. Another thing I've noticed is that, when playing FF14 on PC, I sometimes get around 1 second where I can't do inputs, usually not too long after starting to play. This happens quite rarely but still often enough to be noticeable. It could also be a problem with the game or my hardware of course but I'm not sure. All in all, it's a great controller and the best one I've ever used!
@@gtrscort1 I got the pc version for 32 euro's from aliexpress so for that price i could almost get 1 for 1 xbox controller. Also i love the turbo function and the extra buttons on the back.
If you use it with the Steam Deck, the best way to have this be a single controller between it and the Switch is to connect the dock into the Steam Deck dock via USB. If you do it this way, when you pick it up off the dock you only need to switch it to 2.4G to use it on the Steam Deck and switch it to Bluetooth when you want to use it on the Switch. The dock holds a 2.4G wireless receiver inside of it.
i have the ultimate C 2.4g it is 30 bucks it has ALPS joysticks literally no deadzone at all and the sensitivity is amazing i think that 8bitdo really care about quality regardless of the manufacturing technology , great company
I love this color scheme accented by the white. They've totally going the XBOX route and I'm all for it. Hoping they come up with a green one (not the pastel, but along the same vibrancy as the current red and blue Ultimate).
So, I have a question about the 2.4 adapter it comes with, would that make it possible to connect unsupported controllers to the switch? (Xbox/PlayStation controllers) I know that 8bitdo also sells a Bluetooth adapter separately, but dos the included one still serve that purpose?(even though it’s a 2.4 adapter instead of a Bluetooth one) The reason I ask is because I have several Xbox controllers and supposedly they use 2.4
Was going through a Best buy looking for some wireless Bluetooth mic headsets for my switch and my Xbox and I walked next to the Bluetooth keyboards and I saw the black ultimate Controller and the dongle paired next to each other on the above shelving and I picked both of them up.. breaking this controller in now( April 2024)I love it I just don't know how to use the profile buttons in the middle next to the d-pad
I got this controller last week and love it for PC and Switch but the left joystick button “L3” is extremely unsatisfying on mine and I’m not sure if I’m the only one. You can barely tell when it is clicked and I’ve considered sending it back.
I have the original white one, and the only problem I have is ZR doesn't seem to want to work right. In games like rocket league, it doesn't always want to make the car go, and in totk, the bow sometimes releases early. Otherwise, I love it. Feels great, and love the buttons and sticks.
@noonesjedi8018 for me it didn't and i got the controller like 2 days ago. Maybe it's my device or something but i feel like the Bluetooth is not very strong .
I didn't like the bumpers on this controller. I tend to press them on the outside edge and found that the bumpers on this controller weren't really that responsive unless clicking in the center. Personally the plastics used overall kinda felt cheap to me too
Mobapad are sending me a sample of a "new" something, what it is I have no idea! When it arrives I'll see but I'm sure its one of those and you can indeed expect a video! :)
Efectivamente, cuandodo el Swtch entra en modo reposo la luz se apaga y deja de cargar y luego vuelve a cargar, la luz es intermitende pasa exactamente lo mismo en el mio que con el tuyo.
8bitdo's site is so confusing. Tons of controllers and the latest one that they made says it can only connect with bluetooth to apple products only. And with another controller that I randomly picked, it says that it can only work with switch? Aren't they using bluetooth so that means that it can work on windows and android too, or any product that uses bluetooth???
anytime I see a "switch controller" I just think is it better than Nintendo's own controller? Because if I'm gonna let go of the beauty that is the TotK controller, it better be leagues better lol. So this one is multiplatform, has backpedals, can be used with a dongle AND bluetooth AND cable, can be charged on it's own cool little station, AND it had hall-effect? yeah this is a winner lol
I picked one of these year before last, when 8bitdo first released it, I went black, but that blue one would compliment most of the rest of my peripherals. Minus the 8bitdo controller case that you can buy separately.
No NFC and no HD rumble = inferior imo. I use either Mobapad M6 HD in the official charge grip disassembled to middle slab, or Mobapad M9 HD which also has HD rumble.
Isn’t the best Switch gamepad really just the Mobapad M6 on some kind of charger grip, now? That gives ALL the functionality of the pro controller, but with mechanical switches, Hall effect joysticks, and the added benefit of also being joycons. Can any gamepad do better than that? I feel like Mobapad just closed the book on the competition.
Your right and you can use the joycon grip just remove the batwing thing on it and use the centre section when not playing hands apart wii remote style.. only reason I didn't get them was the no centre section with them but I might still buy them 2 hand traditi9nal controller the binbok ultra is clearly no...1 now
The one thing I don't love is the layout. I do prefer the playstation layout, and their previous controller (if in the right condition cause their manufacturer is hit or miss) is fantastic
Bro 128kb Bro i Have This Pro Controller For My Birthday And i Found Out The Controller is So Comfortable And So Good To Play With And With No Stick Drift!

I have this controller for over a year, and its perfect.
The only bad thing about it is making macro-s, its very restricted imho
@@r4nddon no argument here

If you get drift then you need to charge the controller
Good to know about ergonomics on this controller. Ive debating getting this one or an xbox controller.

4:56 are you sure its not just topping up the battery/checking if it needs power?

Been waiting for this review. I just wish I had that red controller for my Mario Red
It's a beauty isn't it!
It can be found on their website
I already have the white one and it is THE BEST switch controller I have ever used. But still that red tho 😎♥️
I got this for Christmas from the wife and anytime I play with the switch via dock this is the only thing I use!
i have the ultimate C 2.4g it is 30 bucks it has ALPS joysticks literally no deadzone at all and the sensitivity is amazing i think that 8bitdo really care about quality regardless of the manufacturing technology , great company

Does the dock has a battery pack that functions like a power bank?
So you don’t use the 8bitdo sn30 anymore for Mario wonder ?
I do! I interchange between this and that one :) I gravitate to the SN30 Pro more for Mario since the D-Pad is located in a slightly better position
So, I have a question about the 2.4 adapter it comes with, would that make it possible to connect unsupported controllers to the switch? (Xbox/PlayStation controllers)

actually you can map a turbo on the fly, just press the button or buttons and the star button, and there you go
You don't need to shake it that hard lmao. A tiny shake is fine, it just has a delay before it wakes the switch up.

Do the triggers have analog pressure sensitivity?
Yes
Excellent review. Very detailed. Just based on this, I'm considering picking up the blue one.
Thank you! highly recommended, it's my go to controller now!
I need this one I was already looking at it, I love my NYXI Wizard but it has a battery issue on the left con.
I have the original white one, and the only problem I have is ZR doesn't seem to want to work right. In games like rocket league, it doesn't always want to make the car go, and in totk, the bow sometimes releases early.
Otherwise, I love it. Feels great, and love the buttons and sticks.
That would be Bluetooth connectivity issues. I have the same problems
@PanchitoEsquivel actually, I made adjustments in the ultimate software and its fixed!
@noonesjedi8018 for me it didn't and i got the controller like 2 days ago. Maybe it's my device or something but i feel like the Bluetooth is not very strong .
@PanchitoEsquivel that seems odd. I only use bluetooth, no problems here
I didn't like the bumpers on this controller. I tend to press them on the outside edge and found that the bumpers on this controller weren't really that responsive unless clicking in the center.
Personally the plastics used overall kinda felt cheap to me too
Can you remap the buttons with the button remapping setting on the switch? Thanks.
There is a new Mobapad M6s and/or Mobapad Twin Stars. Can we look forward a review?
Mobapad are sending me a sample of a "new" something, what it is I have no idea! When it arrives I'll see but I'm sure its one of those and you can indeed expect a video! :)
@@128KB Thank you😁
Ive heard that the gyro is laggy? is that true? how is playing Splatoon with it?
Efectivamente, cuandodo el Swtch entra en modo reposo la luz se apaga y deja de cargar y luego vuelve a cargar, la luz es intermitende pasa exactamente lo mismo en el mio que con el tuyo.
Is it really compatible on ipad/iphone?
There are reviews saying that it NOW works detected as switch controller in latest ios/ipados
The 2.4gz also got a update that added Bluetooth for mobile gaming
Sweet review!☺️
Thank you!
The best gamepad of all time. It got the most comfortable formfactor and utterly unbreakable sticks
It was not confortable for me. I had to return it back because that weird shape and size of the controller.

I agree. Their descriptions/naming aren't clear

HD Rumble and amiibo support would make this perfect but that's not going to happen
No NFC and no HD rumble = inferior imo. I use either Mobapad M6 HD in the official charge grip disassembled to middle slab, or Mobapad M9 HD which also has HD rumble.
I don't know about pro controller rumble,but i like the ultimates rumble way more compared to the joycons

i have the blue one and i love it so much!! its the best controller ive ever bought
Can you assign R3 (Right thumbstick push) to back paddle?
Yes
Also, my dock works fine, something seems wrong with how yours is acting.
The one thing I don't love is the layout. I do prefer the playstation layout, and their previous controller (if in the right condition cause their manufacturer is hit or miss) is fantastic
can you review the bluetooth only?
I have been using this controller for a LOOOONG TIME and I just learned from ur video how to wake the switch
I feel DUMB lol
THANK U
Don't worry, I found this out by accident too and I swear they don't tell you it can do it anywhere haha!
No reason to feel dumb, shaking the controller like a crazy person to wake the switch is absolutely ridiculous.
@@wrtucey 99% of the time all you need to do is pick the controller up to wake the switch
How do you sync it to the switch 😭
Check the manual
Does this work for the switch lite just curious going to get one for Christmas
It will yes
No NFC, no HD rumble. I can live with membrane buttons but, missing those two are dealbreakers.
I use my dedicated red series x controller for my switch...🤗
Any idea if this has nfc support? If it does this might be my new permanent switch controller
No nfc support
What is NFC ?
@@justice100forwin2 Near Field Communication, for amiibos
You actually only need to pump in once after pressing the home button to wake it up.😅
True, but it's more fun to look absolutely mental by shaking it vigorously!!
Better than the mobapad?
8bit do is the best !!!!!!!
Dona review of the thunderrobot g45 pro
I've made a note to try and acquire a sample later today 😁 thanks for bringing it to my attention, haven't seen it before!
Maybe because I'm an Aussie... I only see 2.5ghZ OR Bluetooth ... feeling daft AF -.-
The Bluetooth one comes with 2.4ghz dongle
I have this controller
Bro 128kb Bro i Have This Pro Controller For My Birthday And i Found Out The Controller is So Comfortable And So Good To Play With And With No Stick Drift!
It's such a good controller!! Glad you love it!
i would get the red if the back of it was also red
Honestly doesn't bother me since I'm never really looking at the back of it!
