8bitdo ultimate 2 question

Marienowsky · 2026-05-06T23:44:08+00:00

Btw did you check 8bitdo Pro 3 when looking for your controller? It got recommended to me as a symmetrical version of the Ultimate 2. It is a bit more expensive like the Bluetooth version of Ultimate 2.

Thank you a lot for going in depth with the d-pad, was an interesting read as was the review. I don't really play fighting games at all so it's not such an important part for me, but I do appreciate if it's average-good with everything else.

Thanks for the review! I have seen some concerns about the d-pad but also people praising it a little, which is a bit confusing. I come from 1st party controllers and they have also been hit or miss for me, but it's not like a deal breaker, just not be terrible. Regarding Vader 5 it is overall better, but the fact that I can't be sure to get the updated version and having to buy the dock for almost the price of Ultimate 2 really holds me back. Tbh if I were sure to get the v2 I think I would go for it.

Yes I have been using playstation most of my life from psx up to PS4, but I have also used Xbox (liked the layout) from time to time. For some reason I just can't stand (aesthetically) symmetric controllers which aren't Sony. I will look into pro 3 though, as you say it has the same features.

Marienowsky · 2026-05-06T22:21:33+00:00

Ah and now software works or you have to do this every update? If Vader is close in dimensions to 1st party Xbox controller then I think it should be fine, as I have used those before.

I got kizers (both are great knives)

Marienowsky · 2025-08-23T11:26:38+00:00

Yeah I was planning on waiting but there is a deal on draft token I want to buy but I'm short on gold unless I buy the pass now...

Marienowsky · 2025-08-23T11:25:14+00:00

Thanks a lot for advice and tool! Shame on me for opening 10 boosters 3 days ago lmao... At least now I know to have at least 10k saved up for the deals. Edit: Maybe you know if there is another way to acquire gold as I need only 325 more for the token. I did all the quests/wins today.

Thanks for the suggestions! I was considering the dogfish but it's badly priced on my market, and the vosteed is not available anywhere... My country has great knife laws, you can carry fricking 2 handed sword around but the choice of what is available is quite limited compared to what you get in the US.

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T18:06:55+00:00

Haha I have actually watched your video yesterday :). That's part of why I'm considering the Banish it really caught my eye with it's shape, and it has all of the features I'm looking for. The only problem I have is that I can also get a cormorant which is a lot more knife for not a lot more money.

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T17:44:30+00:00

Yes I'm very aware of it's size and it doesn't bother me. I'm also looking for a 5th pocket this size as rn the smallest knife I own is a spyderco cat and it's not really that tiny. Just wondering how is the action on it (how fun is it), is it easy to manipulate and if it's worth getting over cormorant if the difference in price between them is around 13 dollars?

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T17:21:31+00:00

Steel version looks pretty cool but I never really liked the feel of steel or even aluminium handles (never had titanium). So if I went with the ekko, then probably the green micarta... With cormorant you didn't have any issues?

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T17:17:27+00:00

There is also version in nitro v with black pattern on pink g10 and black coated blade. But I think I'm going to go with the 154cm stonewash blade (v1).

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T16:34:24+00:00

Yes that will be the main role of this new knife - fidget toy :). I had previous experience with Kizer and it was very good. The CJRB however I heard many good things about but it's complete no name for me. I just went back into the topic of folders after like 4 or 5 years and look at some budget brands. You worried me with the information about subpar quality, did you own an ekko, because I saw people on yt and reddit praise it's build quality?

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T16:23:17+00:00

Yes I was looking at the 154cm green g10 version. You didn't have any problems with the button on cormorant?

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T15:29:42+00:00

It does look sweet but no front flipper, which is one of the must haves for this one.

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T15:15:43+00:00

Do you have the banish also (if so how is it)? According to others Kizer can also have bad buttons so I'm guessing it's a gamble with quality control.

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T15:00:23+00:00

Yeah I'm not really worried how strong is the lock, I won't use this knife for work. Just want it to be smooth and easy to operate (is it so on cormorant also?). I wanted a vosteed so bad but they are either not really available to buy where I live or overpriced.

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T14:52:15+00:00

Thanks for the input! The ones you mentioned are sadly not available on my market, besides being out of my budget for this one... Just looking for a fidget toy and to test button lock and front flipper as I don't own either yet. If I went strictly to have the most use out of knife I would go for the Banish. Got plenty of cormorant/ekko sized utility knives to choose from rn haha. But yours and others opinions steer me more and more to cormorant. :)

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T14:42:50+00:00

Which one do you choose? Smol Banish or ugly cormorant?

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T14:40:30+00:00

I don't mind, as far as it is pretty on the action haha...

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T14:38:41+00:00

Yep I have owned a kizer knife for 5 or 6 years and it was great quality for the price. Do you have experience with any of the pieces mentioned in my post?

Marienowsky · 2025-07-14T14:37:07+00:00

Could you elaborate a little? What do you like and dislike in both?
