  • anyone know if this would work on a tesla to play the incar games?

    • I have a pair of 8BitDo SN30 Pro controllers, and they work perfectly with my Model 3. The only drawback is that the Model 3 only allows two Bluetooth devices to be connected at the same time, so you need to disconnect your phone first. After you're done gaming, you'll have to manually reconnect your phone.

      • I don't have that issue but maybe because my tesla is linked to my phone as a access card. It just turn on a game and it connects after holding the start button.

        • how many controlller do you connect at a time?

      • I've got a cheap 4 port usb3 hub with my tesla flash usb in one and the 8bitdo wireless adapters in two other slots and it works great with two 8bitdos on 2.4ghz mode without impacting bluetooth

      • My controller keep disconnecting from model YL, chose D mode, only two other devices but I already disconnected

    • I think any switch controller would work like the generic ones on Amazon. These sn30 are good though. I'm tempted. I had 8bitdo SF30 and my kids ruined the sticks, they double tapped and drift.

      • The real problem is that Musk seems more interested in politics than expanding Tesla's in-car arcade.

  • I think the ultimate 2 is a better shape to hold

    • whats the diff? apart from shape…obviously need to get the bt version for switch compatibility

      • I had both. Returned the pro 3

        The joystick is further away. Not good for 3d games.

        The pro can swap the keys around which is nice.

        The pro can also connect to PC android and switch without playing around with it.

        But I find the ultimate 2 feels better

      • I have pro 2 and ultimate 2. Much prefer the ultimate. I found my hands getting sore on the pro for some reason.

        • Came here to say the same thing. Even though the 8bitdo pro is a quality controller (I have the v2), long sessions hurt my hand with it far
          FAR more than the ultimate 2c, Xbox controller or steam controller (v1 and 2)

    • It's like comparing apples and oranges. Most people buying this would be for the old school PS controller feel.

      • I’ve been using version 2 for years and can confirm it’s nothing like PS controller to me. It’s a very flexible controller to use on different platforms but ergonomically not the best. All consoles original controllers PS,XBX,NSWPro are better than this. I have no experience with the 8bitdo ultimate series.

    • Alas, ultimate 2 Bluetooth doesn't support android … It'll connect but messed up button layout

    • why do people always hate more options

      • Apple taught people this

    • Yes it's a better copy of the Xbox one

  • Fantastic controller. A nice upgrade from the Pro 2 especially for the Switch 2

    • Have the Pro 2, and Switch 2, what is the 3 upgrade ?

      • For me the triggers and thumbsticks feel much smoother being Hall effect, it can wake the Switch 2 from sleep which is useful for my laziness, plus the extra 2 programmable buttons at the top.
        Oh and the dock is nice.

        • Wait.. we can wake the SW2 with this?? I've had mine for months and it never seemed to work 🤔

          • @Stoibs: Yeah it’s fiddly to set up but once it’s done, it works well.
            Basically once set up you turn on the controller and then shake it, that causes the switch to wake up, and then it connects properly.

            • @theguyrules: Oh haha, that's different. I'll have to look into that!

            • @theguyrules: Really? The description says

              Wake-on-shake (not supported on Switch 2).

              Is it updated?

              • @Blitzfx: Very sure. Might need to update the controller firmware first.
                Give it a google if you get one. I got mine from Amazon as well.

                • @theguyrules: Also, how would you compare it against the Switch 2 Pro controller? (assuming you have that)
                  Does it have all the functionality of it? I'm tempted to buy this instead of that if it can do everything, and it can be used on other consoles.

                  • @Blitzfx: I don't have the new Pro controller so I can't compare, sorry.
                    I do use the macro and turbo functions on this fairly regularly for games, which you can’t do on the Switch Pro controller.

  • Thanks OP. One of my xbox controllers died that I used for windows. Giving this one a go as the price seems great.

    • It feels nothing like xbox controller

      • Thanks, I kinda picked that up when I saw the pictures of it prior to purchasing it.

  • Would this be ok for a Google TV Streamer 4K, for very basic infrequent gaming?

  • wow tempted but i have 3 controllers at home! incl the pro 2

  • Does this work with SteamOS?

    • It does, works great both bluetooth and using the dongle. Shows proper name, battery life, buttons, etc.

  • Bought, I've been waiting for this to come on sale for a while

  • Bought one to use with window and Mac OS maybe use it with switch. Shame it doesn’t work natively with PlayStation seeing how it’s going to feel like a PlayStation controller in the hands. 8bitdo controllers are some of the best aftermarket controllers on the market.

  • Can I use this controller to navigate a submarine?

    • If it does support Bluetooth HID why not

    • USB c plug and play cable works I would not trust Bluetooth that deep into in the Mariana Trench.

  • Pretty good. Paid $24 for the wireless pro 2 from Ali. Just ass good is the Xbox official.

  • “Currently unavailable”

  • Where does this 8Bitdo fan club come from? Controllers are good enough for the price I guess, but they don't compare to first party controllers. They are smaller, stiff triggers, D-pads don't registered diagonal directions consistently. This controller looks like a butchered version of SNES controller with some odd shaped grips and analog sticks stuck on there.

    People saying its better than an Xbox controller? Wtf?

    • Where does this 8Bitdo fan club come from?

      People who own and use them I guess.

      • I own them, definitely not worth glazing the brand like they do here. Pulled a few apart in an attempt to fix the hit and miss D-pad inputs, good thing there are plenty of guides on youtube.

  • Mine arrived today. Quick shipping!

  • Newbie question. I can get a standard xbox wireless controller for around $70. Are these controllers better?
    I just want to play two player Steam games and maybe some apple TV games for kids+parent co-op games.
    I don't have an xbox anymore.

    • Seach any thread, these go on sale all the time. No shortage of people saying how much ;better' they are.

      The warranty and local support is better for xbox controller if you have an issue in 3 months - 2 years.

      I got a 8BitDo Ultimate 2C for US$18 from AliExpress, works just as well as the original and maybe better (has a 2.4Ghz dedicated receiver). Wouldn't spend too much on them in general.
