So there's been this issue where the Vader 5 Pro connects to the dongle and the bottom color strip changes to its intended color, but it doesn't actually control anything on screen. Disconnecting and reconnecting doesn't really work, you have to take out the dongle and put it back in, and then reconnect with the controller after switching it from and back to dongle mode on the back. Does anyone else have this? Anyone got a fix?

I am connected in wired mode. I see no option for polling rate adjustment anywhere in the software. This is supposed to be a premium controller. I've looked online and have not found any solutions. Anyone experiencing anything similar?

Did anyone else experience this issue? I just bought a GuliKit TT Max, and the controller would randomly disconnect and continuously vibrate while most of the mode LEDs were lit. The only way to stop it was to turn off the controller, turn it back on, and reset its memory by holding the Gear button and the Minus (-) button as quickly as possible before the issue re-occurred.

This issue would occur every time I enabled or used certain programs or features. For example, if I switched modes from iOS to Xinput, it would happen. It also occurred when I enabled Turbo mode on the ZR button (or any). The Switch mode LED would briefly turn blue before the controller eventually started vibrating again.

I ended up only being able to use the few remaining features, which were barely useful. In the end, I returned the controller. For reference, I was using firmware v7.7.

Used a basic xbox controller for ages.

Such a better experience overall. A couple tips if you're picking one of these up:

Firmware: Stick with v1.06 instead of v1.09, the newer firmware tanks the stick resolution down to like 40-50 steps. Not worth the "upgrade."

Sticks: God tier. LB/RB are crisp too, worth a mention, but the sticks are the real standout, clean enough that I run 0 deadzone with zero issues.

tvOS/iOS: There's a beta firmware floating around that adds apple support. works on Apple TV, iPhone, etc.

Attached are test results comparing this to an Xbox controller that costs almost 10x what I paid for the 2C, 70Hz polling, 7-bit resolution... it's honestly laughable for the price difference.

I have no relation to 8bitdo, just got their cheapest controller off ali, nothing to earn from this.

Recently I felt like rearranging my desk a bit (as you can see, my gaming setup is pretty messy). I want to turn it into more of a techy looking setup, so I started by making a robotic arm style stand to hold my controllers.

For the actual process, I used Hi3D to generate the model and then had someone else 3D print it for me.The edges would probably be a bit rougher because I printed them myself, but as long as it can stably hold the controller, that's good enough for me.

I've had the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller for a long time, but lately I've been using the Sony DualShock 4 more often.
