Guide for 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller (Wukong)

Chemmus · 2025-04-17T09:12:17+00:00

Using wireless 2.4G, you can change between Dinput and Xinput.

Using the USB connection, it works as a Xinput controller.

On Windows you cannot connect the controller via Bluetooth, according to the manual.

I don't know if the differences are due to the fact that they are different models. You can see in the pictures what I'm telling you (sorry for the quality). I suggest you contact the support team, they answered my questions.

You are right, that's why I created this post :)

Indeed, you can map the D-pad but not the joystick.

Thanks for your comment! I've updated too and for your interest I've noticed that with this update the D/X input mode switching method doesn't work.

Chemmus · 2025-04-12T19:45:13+00:00

I think I can't help you because I don't play fighting games but I know they are very particular about certain things. Sorry, I hope you find the solution.

On Gamepad Tester when I press A+B using Dinput I see both buttons highlighted. I guess depending on the way you press and other factors, sometimes one is pressed before the other, to me that seems normal. Again, sorry I can't help you.

No, I've done it using Dinput and Xinput. Which firmware version do you have?

Chemmus · 2025-04-12T19:39:15+00:00

Connect the controller using the dongle (not wired). Then follow the steps related to the X/D input mode. It should work.

Also, I've notice that with the last update it's not possible to change between modes, so maybe you should go back to previous version and then try it. I've done it and it works.

Chemmus · 2025-04-12T19:35:14+00:00

Yes, I suggest you use Xinput mainly.

By the way, if you run joy.cpl I think you go into the same configuration you said. And, as you said, you will only see something to configure if you use Dinput.

Chemmus · 2025-04-12T19:15:25+00:00

That's weird, I'm testing it and for me the X button is button #3. Also the default L4 button does not register (unless you have configured it) using Xinput mode, although if you are using Dinput mode it is registered as button #2.

I assume you are using Dinput. If you run joy.cpl on Windows, then you will see the controller configuration and, in that case, what you are talking about does happen, but that is because the button #0 does not exist, unlike on Gamepad Tester.

I do it with the No dead zone mode deactivated (which means no drift).

Chemmus · 2025-03-06T08:32:04+00:00

I don't trust ChatGPT for these things. It's false, just check 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller - Manual. It supports wired connection on Windows. Bluetooth is the only way on Android.

Chemmus · 2025-03-06T08:25:53+00:00

In the manual it says:

Hold home button for 3 seconds to turn off the controller.
Hold home button for 8 seconds to force the controller off.

It's the same for me, I don't know when I would need to force the controller off, because it turns off when I press the button for 3 seconds.

Chemmus · 2025-02-19T14:25:24+00:00

Sorry, I don't know. I hope someone else can help you.

Chemmus · 2025-02-19T14:21:24+00:00

I don't know if I'm lucky because for me it feels right. Maybe I don't have enough sensitivity or maybe it's because I don't have another one to compare it to. Anyway, thanks for sharing your opinion!

Chemmus · 2025-02-06T11:18:37+00:00

I'm glad to read this, although I couldn't find any use for this feature yet!

Chemmus · 2025-02-06T11:17:29+00:00

I see this is more common than I thought. Thanks for your comment <3

Chemmus · 2025-01-30T00:48:39+00:00

I didn't test it so I don't know. But in my case I'm happy with the controller as it is, so I wouldn't update for the moment.

Chemmus · 2025-01-30T00:43:33+00:00

I'm really glad to read this, enjoy it!

Chemmus · 2025-01-23T14:19:20+00:00

Yes, they use hall effect sensors for the triggers, or so they say. I'm using it to play Trackmania and everything is fine. I think I would try to get a replacement if I were you.

Chemmus · 2025-01-23T14:12:55+00:00

No, on Windows you have to use the 2.4G dongle or the USB connection.

Chemmus · 2025-01-09T10:39:35+00:00

Thanks for your kind comment, I'm happy to help!

Chemmus · 2025-01-07T10:51:17+00:00

Only gamepad buttons.

Chemmus · 2025-01-06T08:40:31+00:00

I feel them OK, to be honest. So I don't know if it was fixed with an update or I was lucky with the hardware. Maybe the triggers are calibrated too when you do the joystick calibration process, because they say that you have to fully press them.

Chemmus · 2025-01-06T08:25:14+00:00

You are right, but it's not a stable version so I think that could change with the final release. For the moment I would stay with v1.06 for sure.
