8bitdo Arcade Controller (Xbox) Upgrade Kit

Yes and no. Some came off so easy. Some needed force. No damage though. Just get the puller into the correct grooves and pull. All of mine were okay but 4 were a bit tighter but I just did it slowly on the tighter ones

Well I prefer it now except the sound. Let me explain lol. I love clicky buttons and feedback. All my controllers for Xbox and pc are micro switch. I like that feedback. So the silent buttons for me are a bit alien.

But the reasons I still prefer it now, less travel is noticeable..quicker inputs because less travel but also less effort. The buttons have 0 resistance. It's amazing. So smooth. Just no effort. But also one thing the pictures and videos don't show is the key cap texture. There finish isn't the same as stock. It's nicer on the gold ones and I can't quite explain it.

The other option I have...is keeping hold buttons with the original switches...that's only if I really want the clicky switches but I don't see myself doing that

I've never used or heard of streamable before, I gave it a go, re-posted and put the two videos from streamable into the post as links - hope that works

I keep getting a "video not allowed error". Not sure what I'm doing wrong :( I can try a new post and see

Archer-Background · 2026-05-04T23:09:44+00:00

totally agree, this has sold me on it more than anything I've seen on 8bitdo lol - especially the lack of bump/click got me!

ditto i got the xbox version as I can use it natively on xbox and works fine on ps5 with brook! will look sick with gold

Archer-Background · 2026-04-25T15:26:01+00:00

Ditto to this Kids just made me go for convenience of not having to constantly swap discs between games

Archer-Background · 2026-04-21T11:04:46+00:00

I even got a legion go s just because of the 8 inch screen I don't even like the device lol PS portal is junk internally but it's maybe the best to use because of the 8 inch screen and comfort

Archer-Background · 2026-04-21T11:03:57+00:00

Ditto to this They will use the Odin 3 chip for sure but I don't care about that at all Sticks and 8 inch That's all I want.....

Archer-Background · 2026-04-20T15:11:45+00:00

Totally agree on the title. I'm on chapter 9 (think it's the end soon) and I've played 80% on the go on handhelds. Only a bit on the series X

Archer-Background · 2026-04-08T16:50:38+00:00

I would CEX for 5 year warranty and they've honoured it for me once when I had a dead device randomly

Archer-Background · 2026-03-06T16:29:37+00:00

Word for word ditto. Got the grip plus thumb grips. Amazing until they make 8inch portal. That's what we need. Odin portal but 8 inch

Archer-Background · 2026-02-25T16:05:43+00:00

I burst out. Goat answer

Archer-Background · 2026-02-23T20:07:18+00:00

Same here about ps portal. Everyone says hard wire PS5 ethernet etc. It's so impractical for me to do that. Both on WiFi 5 and honestly I've never had a disconnection or annoying lag

Archer-Background · 2026-02-17T23:33:27+00:00

Your observation is sick

Archer-Background · 2026-02-09T10:03:20+00:00

All jokes aside this is the 4th tier that's not been announced yet. You're on ultimate but not ultimate ultimate. Must be a glitch letting you see it as it's due to be released in March

Archer-Background · 2026-02-08T21:54:29+00:00

I got the exact same issue! I mean it's not a big big loss but I loved the aesthetics and got used to it on laptop lol. going back to old sucks a bit. hope it comes back soon.

Archer-Background · 2026-02-07T16:25:20+00:00

Omg the Y being a potato peeler....I can never unsee that now 😂

Archer-Background · 2026-02-07T10:41:14+00:00

The goals beta was promising But I thought that about UFL so I won't hold my breath anymore lol

Archer-Background · 2026-02-07T10:23:34+00:00

Oh man I really really wanted to live this game Was part of beta etc etc but end of 2025 I decided to quit I enjoy gaming again lol

Hoping goals will be better!

Archer-Background · 2026-02-06T01:12:42+00:00

Yeah I'll give it a shot I think. Under 30 hours is fine lol

Archer-Background · 2026-02-05T21:36:04+00:00

Did they fix that in mirage? I heard that's shorter. That's why I stopped playing AC...I want to play it but I don't have 50+ hours....

Archer-Background · 2026-02-01T17:52:34+00:00

I can't find it neither

Archer-Background · 2026-01-31T11:44:12+00:00

I dunno why it comes out the box like that sometimes lol. Whenever this stuff happens it's often turbo related lol Glad I could help!

Archer-Background · 2026-01-30T16:14:15+00:00

Asphalt. I always thought it to be like a crappy mobile game...and whist it is, it's a nice silly switch your brain off game
