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

    While I like my Ultimate Wireless 2.4g for its ability to wake the switch, I find my Pro 2 to be more versatile (d-input and Mac input Bluetooth options) and more comfortable to use.

    Though the pro 2 doesn’t have hall effect sensors, so who knows how long my analog sticks will last.

    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

        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.
