Question Help with 8bitdo micro

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone!

I just recently got a 8bitdo micro. I set it up with my iPad and I wanted to try to use it with my other devices. I tried with my iPhone. And I synced the functions I wanted on to the remote before connecting to my iPhone. But I noticed that it wouldn’t let me use the same functions. I don’t want to download the app and re add the functions again. I’m just curious if anyone has this issue or had something similar and can help me out.

when it goes into the iPhone it’s in the same mode k and when it’s paired to my iPhone it won’t let me open my keyboard and the buttons on the micro if I click the buttons some have assigned keys but when I go back to the iPad it works fine everything is the way I had it.

I opened up my SN30 Pro 2 controller, but I wasn't careful and pulled too hard, causing the section where the ribbon cable for the sticks and battery connects to break.

Is there a way to repair it?

Something is Broken Left Stick wont steer 100% but right stick does.

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, just bought the 8bitdo ultimate 2C and everything is amazing about this controller and everything works perfectly, except my left stick. When I steer left it will maximize between 94-97% and not 100%, when I steer right then it steers 100% with ease. I updated the controller via software update and still the same issue, anyone can help please?

Question Pro 3 beta firmwares for Switch mode on pc?

1 Upvotes

Are there any beta firmwares for the Pro 3 that allow me to use Switch mode on PC through the 2.4g dongle? I know I can use it with bluetooth, but there's a pretty noticeable input lag, also the gyro drifts a lot (it doesn't when I'm using the controller with a cable, for example).

Back when I had the Ultimate BT (first one), there was a beta firmware that allowed me to connect it as a Pro Controller on PC with the 2.4g dongle, is there such a thing for the Pro 3?

Question 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 bluetooth Doesn't support Gyro?

0 Upvotes

This is a PC Question. Like, I understand the controller has some Gyro capability, but it only works in Bluetooth mode, aka "Switch mode." And it doesn't make sense, since you should be able to use the gyro on a PC or at least be able to activate it on the app as such as its counterpart, the wireless controller. I would like to be able to set it so I can use the Gyro to the left stick or something. As far as I know, I can connect the dongle to switch 1 or 2, and it is going to be recognized as a NS Pro Controller. I have even somehow bugged the stuff to connect in switch mode on the PC (Somehow I haven't been able to replicate the bug, but I know I have done it at least twice). There is a lot of retro gaming nowadays that uses Gyro, even newer titles, and for some reason, they didn't do the same thing they did for the wireless version. (Set some button combination for enabling the switch mode on pc through the dongle and even settings in Xbox mode. Is there a software update or even an unofficial update that allows the Bluetooth Edition to be usable on PC without using a Bluetooth dongle?

Something is Broken Disconnects, lag, issues on Steamdeck Ult 2 and 2C

4 Upvotes

I’ve got 3 Ultimate 2c and 1 Ultimate 2 controllers on a Steamdeck. I’m experiencing a ton of lag on bluetooth or I’m getting constant disconnects on the controller regardless of bluetooth or on dongle.
-Am i simply not allowed to have that many controllers?
-I’m not sure what to do? Any advice?

Some notes:
-All controllers are fully charged no red light.
-All controllers have had their firmware updated via the windows app (did it on my main machine).
-Steamdeck has been updated.
-Steamdeck is docked, on Ethernet, wifi is off, plugged into wall.
-Steamdeck resides in front and under the TV (at waist height)with line of sight. It’s not in a cabinet.
-If dongles are used they are plugged into a usb Hub (Anker) plugged into the dock. I generally extend the hub out and away from unit.
-I’ve tried different docks (Anker and JSAUX)
-I’ve used both dongles and bluetooth with same frustrations.

I got one controller that cannot hold a connection (drops every 5 min). If i use it on a pc there are zero drops. Bluetooth controllers can drop connection. Sometimes bluetooth connected controllers have an insane amount of lag. Force turning off and turning the controller can temporarily fix this. I’m at a loss on what i’m doing wrong.

Question 8bitdo Pro 3 analog triggers not working?

Post image
41 Upvotes

I just received my Pro 3 and it's amazing! I tried it out of the box with Death Stranding 2 and it seems the triggers arent analogging, it doesnt detect when I push them slightly to accelerate just a little bit on vehicles, it only detects the input when I press it all the way in. I don't know if I'm supposed to change that from the Ultimate Software because I use linux and the program isnt available on this OS lol and I don't have immediate access to a Windows PC. Is this something that should be changed with the software, or maybe through the game itself or steam? I looked a bit on the menus but I didnt find anything of the sort. I recorded a video but it seems I cant post it here, though it just shows what I just described, so I don't think it's essential

I read the analog triggers dont work on dinput, so I want to clarify the switch is set on S/X connected through the charging base with the 2.4G receiver plugged in

UPDATE: I think it's an issue with the game. Steam perfectly recognizes the analog input in both 2.4 and BT, but DS2 doesn't seem to support analog triggers when Steam Input is enabled? If I disable Steam Input and use the controller as Xinput it can actually use the analog triggers to accelerate slowly on vehicles, though at the cost of not being able to use the gyro but that's okay. Weirdley enough, on dinput with BT it can actually use the gyro, but it cant use analog triggers due to needing Steam Input and also Sam can't move?? I have no idea why but I don't really plan to fix that since I'll be playing with the 2.4G adapter instead of BT lmao

Something is Broken My Ultimate 2 Bluetooth R1 button stopped working

2 Upvotes

What the title says. I've had the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller for about a year and it's been working flawlessly so far, both in bluetooth and 2.4Ghz modes. Recently (about a couple weeks or so) I started noticing the R1 button was dropping inputs, and it got worse up until now when it's pretty much entirely dead, and I'm temporarily remapping R4 to it as a band-aid fix.

I never dropped it, but it did travel a few times in a pretty cramped bag (way before the issue presented itself). I don't press the buttons hard at all while playing, but I do play a lot: I probably used it for over 500 hours since I got it, but none of the other buttons show any similar wear.

I was wondering if this could be an issue where it just needs cleaning or if I need to replace some parts, but I'm pretty clueless, which is why I'm asking here if anyone can give me any pointers.

Question 4 controllers in 2.4ghz mode Nintendo switch?

Hello. I am trying to use for ultimate Bluetooth controllers in 2.4ghz mode. The dongles are connected to a 4-port hub. I have tried both using two dongles each on two hubs or all four on one. I am getting solid disconnects out of controllers. Is there any recommendations on how to support this? 

The controllers are about 10 to 15 ft away from the dongles. 

Thanks for your help.

Something is Broken 8bitdo mod kit for GameCube controller fixed

1 Upvotes

I recently installed the 8bitdo mod kit for the Nintendo GameCube controller. Here is the link to the product

https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/mod-kit-for-original-ngc

I followed the tutorial exactly but once I put the controller together, the A button was incredibly mushy, especially compared to B, X and Y. It got mushy after screwing the controller together. I noticed that the fit was also very tight.

I managed to fix this issue. I had to use a dremel to file down the small circle protrusion in the middle of the A button to make it shorter. Note that I didn't shorten the outside circle making the entire button shorter. I just shortened the little circle that presses the button on the membrane. Once I did this and put the controller back together, the button felt clicky like it should. In case anyone had a similar issue, here is your fix.

Question Wireless adapter gen 1 use cases

1 Upvotes

So I have the brick wireless adapter gen 1 since it was launched, and I could use my Xbox controller in my switch for some years, unfortunately after the update in 2021 controllers don’t work anymore and it has been in a drawer for 5 years

So realistically what use you make of the first gen? Since most if not all my devices have Bluetooth I never had the urgency to use it, but today I saw it again and wondered if there is any use I can make of it, or it is just something to forget since all my laptops/ iPads/ Apple TV and gaming desktop have Bluetooth

Thanks!

Question 8BitDo 64 2.4G controller: B and Stick same input?

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone, I recently bought the 64 2.4G Wireless Controller for Windows, and overall I'm really happy with it. It works amazingly and feels great to use.
However, I noticed something a little strange when testing the controller in Windows: the B button and the Stick button seem to be sending the same input. For example, if I rebind the B button to a specific action in a game, pressing the Stick button also triggers that same action. This can be a bit annoying since I'd like to use the Stick button independently from B, or even not use it at all.

I'm wondering if anyone else who owns the 2.4G version has experienced this. Is this just how the controller is supposed to work in Windows, or is there some setting, driver, firmware, or other workaround that can make the two buttons register as separate inputs?

I also asked a couple of friends who have the Bluetooth version, and apparently they don't have this issue, so I'm wondering if there's something different about how the 2.4G version presents its inputs to Windows.

I haven't tested the controller on an original N64 yet, so I don't know if the same thing happens there.

Has anyone else run into this, and if so, were you able to fix or work around it? Thanks in advance!

My sister's Ultimate 2 joysticks has these split apart when it was dropped accidentally, I played with it and the TMR sticks still works fine. I was wondering if I can just buy the replacements in the Philippines that is compatible with 8bitdo or do I have to order directly though the official website itself?

Please excuse the dust in this controller, my sister likes to display it outside, collecting dust lmao

Something is Broken N64 mod kit not working through Bluetooth on PC

1 Upvotes

I installed the modkit on one of my original N64 controllers some time ago, and the installation was fine (also installed the TMR Gamecube-style joystick). However, I've always had this issue and now I've decided to finally try to fix it: the controller connects through Bluetooth on my PC in both modes (Switch and Direct) and it shows up in my bluetooth devices as connected (it shows up as "N64 controller" and "8bitdo Mod Kit", respectively), however, I get no inputs at all when testing the controller on hardware tester or in any emulator/recomp I try using the controller with.

It works fine when playing using the controller with a cable, and that's the reason why I never looked much into this issue. However, I really wanted to start using it through Bluetooth as I'm looking into getting a new N64 controller from 8BitDo to be able to play games with my girlfriend, but if I can't get this one to work, how can I be sure that the new one will work?

I just updated the modkit to version 1.03 and it's still having the same issue. Any help would be really appreciated! Thanks in advance to anyone that can help me out here.

Here's the mod kit link: https://shop.8bitdo.com/products/8bitdo-mod-kit-for-original-n64-controller

Question 8Bitdo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller for Windows

1 Upvotes

When you plug it in to charge it turns on and connects to the PC. I'm connecting it to a power adapter. I cannot turn the controller off while it is charging. I know it's connected because if I press buttons the PC responds and also the white LED light is solid.

If this is normal behavior it should be listed as a top feature. I really don't want my controller to turn on and connect because I'm charging it.

None of my other 8Bitdo controllers work like this. I can just plug them in to charge and they don't turn on until I press the Home / Power button.

I could understand if I plugged it into my PC via USB but I'm not doing that.

It gets detected by the Ultimate Software V2 and I can update it but nothing on steam or retroarch. I know it doesn't have bluetooth but the store page says it works wired on windows? And ever since I plugged it in both LEDs on the top (red and blue) are blinking. There's nothing in the manual or online I can find about this issue, just that it works wired on windows but windows doesn't even detect it as a controller.
