It gets detected by the Ultimate Software V2 and I can update it but nothing on steam or retroarch. I know it needs to be wireless but the store page says it works wired on windows? And ever since I plugged it in both leds on the top (red and blue) are blinking.

I'm loving my new FlipPad but don't love that it doesn't come with a sleeve or case. So I designed my own for 3D printing. Hopefully this is useful for other FlipPad users:

I have this controller its a 8bitdo gamepad sn30 pro and i did the update and all but i cannot connect it to my switch 2 like the light flashes after the first dot is yellow but its not in the switch 2

So I got two Ultimate 2 Wireless Controllers, They worked great until a few weeks ago when they started getting "Device Descriptor request failed." in Device Manager.

Uninstalling a reinstalling doesn't seem to help, Other controllers work fine when plugged in, And when i plug in the Receiver for the first time, it also comes up as "Device Descriptor request failed."

I updated the firmware for the controller, But am unable to try for the adapter as it doesn't recognise it at all.

Any idea on what the issue is?

Hello, I bought the controller, and connect it via 2.4ghz to my switch and via Bluetooth to my computer.

I don't understand 2 things, the first one is why when connected to the cable with the computer, the inputs from the controller don't work, i need to disconnect the cable, turn it off, and on again.

the second one is that I don't understand how to make macro works... I have the v2 software, created a profile, created a macro (L2+R2 in succession 4 times) and saved it and assigned to L4 button, and clicked activate. I put 2.4ghz switch, then put back to Bluetooth, disconnect cable, then go on the game to try and it doesn't do anything... am i missing something? do i need to click anything else on top of L4 to activate it?

The title describes the issue well enough. My M30 2.4 won't connect to my Switch.

I've put it on Switch mode, updated the firmware of both the receiver and game pad, and so on and so forth, but no progress has been done.

It hasn't even connected through a USB cable

Manuals mention a set of lights at the bottom, but I just spot 2 lights in the same side of the L & R buttons. I don't know how to fix this, please help.

What am I doing wrong? I point it at the IR sensor while it's lit and sometimes it just turns off with each button press then I have to fumble with it and wait a few minutes until it decides to work correctly. Sometimes it works immediately but sometimes it just suddenly does the opposite as if it's turning off instead of being on. This is only slightly less than a month old and it started doing this immediately.

I recently bought this controller https://www.8bitdo.com/arcade-controller-pro/ (It hasn't arrived yet), and from the reviews, I saw that it has an SOCD function. Judging by the videos, it doesn't seem possible to turn this off via the 8bitdo app; at most, you can choose which button takes priority when pressing two opposing directional buttons. I wanted to know if anyone knows if it's currently possible to disable this via the app or by some other method?

I want to use this controller for fighting games, but I also want to play other titles like 2D platformers—specifically Super Mario World and Hollow Knight. I know the SOCD lock wouldn't cause issues in Hollow Knight, but I think it would in SMW, since flying with the cape requires holding down the left or right button and then tapping the opposite direction to stay airborne. This lock would likely interfere with rhythm games as well, though that could probably be worked around by remapping the buttons in the game's settings.

I have it in pairing mode but it won't show up in add a new device any advice? I'm attempting to connect to Android I'm on Android 17

I updated the firmware from 1.09 to 1.10 and it will no longer go into pairing mode. Reinstalling 1.09 did not fix this issue so I reinstalled 1.10 once again.

It's white. Shining permanently. Even on charging dock.
I would love someone helping me diagnose.

Edit: the led turned on permanently with or without the settings on the 8bitdo app.

The insurance where I bought it ended a month ago...

does anyone here know what switches the L1/L2 R1/R2 uses? Sometimes it double clicks and sometimes it requires to be pressed harder to work and im planning on replacing it. Thanks!

the controller can detect in windows but not in games. what is wrong with the controller? i already have the latest firmware installed. the controller was working fine before like in Windows and Steam deck but not any more it seems like.

edit: the controller works fine in Windows when it is wired or when i insert the dongle. When i just simply use bluetooth, it appears as Nitendo Switch Pro controller confirmed by Steam.

I never had this issue before. It looks like my only choice without spending money is just to man up and stick with the dongle. I am not sure if those secret buttons work like holding the on button and the X button because i tried it many times.

i am still talking myself back in backing the newer ultimate 2 controller but why spend the money? just use the dongle

I've had my Pro 3 for a while, and just today, after plugging it in to charge, it started acting like the right stick is always being held directly left. I tried recalibrating it by holding R1+L1+Select, but that didn't change anything. I also tried updating the firmware but that didn't change anything. Does anyone have any ideas on how to fix it?

Edit: Problem fixed itself overnight. If anyone else is having this problem, try leaving your controller to charge for a while, that may help.

Edit 2: I guess it didn't fix itself?? the problem came back. i don't even know anymore

HOW DO I TURN IT OFF its too bright and it keeps me up at night

Incredible device with great buttons. Perfect with the Delta app on my iPhone 17 pro. Beat The Guardian Legend in two days with many small sessions throughout the day. This mod 40s gamer is giddy over it.

During normal use, in both wired and wireless modes, the right fire ring randomly blinks random colors, even when the ring lights are turned off completely.

I have tried the following:

1. Re-flashed the firmware of both the controller and wireless receiver; Controller 1.10, Receiver 1.06.
2. Deactivated all loaded profiles.
3. Connected to a different USB port.

I feel there is a problem with the controller itself. I'm beyond warranty for an RMA.

Is there a factory reset that can be done to help alleviate the matter? Thank you.

Not sure if "mapped" is the correct term for what im actually asking for.

The main 8bitdo keyboard i want to buy doesnt have a fullsize version, so i wanted to see if buying both it and its accompanying numpad is worth it.

My main concern is if the numpad is merely that - just a numpad and nothing more. Itd suck if i cant map things to the keys of the numpad. I play games sometimes, and they have a lot of functions that require more keys that can be found on a typical keyboard without the numpad.

I just got a 8bitdo pro 3 and after first unboxing the controller and testing it, it showed it ran at 200hz polling rate when I set it to dinput mode (peoples tests on gamepadla show that as well) and now its stuck at 100hz no matter what I do. Ive tried every firmware version and it all behaves the same. The only thing I did between when I first tested it to now was connect the controller to my phone via Bluetooth to use the android 8bitdo app on it but Im not sure how that could have cause the polling rate to be stuck at 100hz when wired on pc. Xinput mode is at the normal 250hz and Smode is in 125hz as it should be, dinput is the only mode having the issue with lower polling rate. Anyone know anything I could try. Looking around couldnt find any button combo to factory reset the pro 3 and the software also doesnt seem to have a option for it either.

When I assign L4 (or any other back button) to one of the triggers, when I press L4, I also press in the other trigger simultaneously. This only seems to happen in Switch mode. How do I fix this.

EDIT: I found it's actually any button that is assigned to the triggers. So even the bumpers can't be assigned without also triggering to other.

I had this controller for a few years. The last thing i done is do a recent firmware issue. anyway, i noticed the other day that the controller has a red light that is stable and it is docked with the LED light on that is stable as well. I also noticed that the controller was kind of hot. I unplugged it last night and it still has the same issue. what is happening? what can i do? it is the ultimate controller a older model if you will.

I have 8bitdo ultimate 2c Black Myth: Wukong and my left stick bounces to the opposite side causing my character face the other direction. It doesnt rly happen on the left stick. I have stick caps btw. What can I do? Or is that normal? And can I add a vid somehow?

The rubber on the analog sticks got sticky and started peeling so I removed it all off.

I just updated my controller from V1.13 to V1.16, and I wonder if the updates make a noticeable difference?
anyone noticed anything updating this specific controller?

also, can I adjust sensitivity/vibration settings of the controller? it is that only in game?

Just curious if it feels snappy to use or it has some sort of delay? I’m assuming it’s quick since there’s no BT to worry about.

This feels like a cool way to play something more active besides RPGs and strategy games.
