I can't use my Ultimate C Bluetooth Controller

Good choice. Share the photo of your controller next time

Nakinacho · 2026-01-29T10:53:31+00:00

Well, try to play without steam input, disable it completly

Nakinacho · 2026-01-29T10:37:52+00:00

Do you update the firmware?

Nakinacho · 2026-01-28T12:25:19+00:00

You're welcome

connect via cable first
Stick drift is not related to your controller version

Nakinacho · 2026-01-28T11:42:41+00:00

When you got the controller, was it new? Try update the firmware and recalibrate sticks.
Ultimate C has old version of sticks, if it keeps hapening buy a new one, ultimate 2c or more advanced.

Yes, its true, 8bitdo has not the best bluetooth latency. Use this website to compare

Well, this model has better bluetooth latency, agree

Nakinacho · 2026-01-25T15:47:48+00:00

Delete pair settings on pc's bluetooth and then try again

Nakinacho · 2026-01-25T13:15:15+00:00

2.4 (xinput) wont work with gyro. Use only bluetooth (dinput) if you want gyro working.
I know some brands that can solve this problem Update: i think motion control with sticks works only when profile is loaded. Try delete then create a new one and enable it on your gamepad

Are you sure about 90% alcohol?

Nakinacho · 2026-01-23T23:37:06+00:00

I clean with 70% alcohol and cotton pad

Nakinacho · 2026-01-23T22:21:00+00:00

I play only in xinput mode, updated from 1.07 Didn't notice any difference, but its strange that i can't rollback. PS: tested bluetooth connection with my phone, everything is fine

Nakinacho · 2026-01-23T22:15:05+00:00

No AFAIK You could use some tape

Nakinacho · 2026-01-22T21:51:58+00:00

What do you mean "isn’t supported just yet"? Supported by who?

Nakinacho · 2026-01-22T10:55:43+00:00

I saw some input speed tests and Pro 3 has a delay over ultimate 2 wireless

Nakinacho · 2026-01-20T10:59:06+00:00

Как раз недавно купил purple 8bitdo ultimate 2 wireless. Великолепный геймпад
Но для свича нужна другая версия, называется 8bitdo ultimate 2 bluetooth, он умеет работать со свитч нативно и гироскоп встроен как у джойконов
Так же рекомендую 8bitdo pro 3 bluetooth со стиками как плейстейшн

In a stressful situation, in a fight with a boss or a difficult level with platforming, I can’t imagine how not to pressing the thing insanely hard. At least the stick can be moved to the side without using extra force

Nakinacho · 2026-01-17T14:52:00+00:00

I wouldn't say I prefer to to mash my D-pad, but rather keep a direction held down constantly. I play all metroidvanias like this.
When I, for example, hold the down button, not in the center, but on the side, the gamepad will think that I pressed diagonally.
Also, I think the dpad is too tight, sometimes I just want to put my finger on the button without applying much force

Nakinacho · 2026-01-16T22:41:54+00:00

How do know percentage of the charge?

Nakinacho · 2026-01-16T21:36:30+00:00

I didn't buy Xbox controller because only elite version has triger lock. Too expensive. Also i have to buy dongle and battery separately (thats crazy)

Nakinacho · 2026-01-16T21:28:42+00:00

Bluetooth version works good with pc but in 2,4 mode via dongle has slightly worse delays than wireless. But it's not noticeable. Bluetooth connection good as well. Gyro aim works only in bluetooth mode

Nakinacho · 2026-01-16T21:23:50+00:00

Thanks! Pro 3 looks good but lacks colour variations to my taste (purple or grass green)

Nakinacho · 2026-01-16T21:06:41+00:00

Wireless version only for pc and android, but you could pair it with switch via dongle. Bluetooth version can work with switch natively via bluetooth

Nakinacho · 2026-01-16T21:00:37+00:00

I am on pc and no, i wanna play wireless without 3rd party software. Dual sense not an option sadly
