8Bitdo Ultimate 2 - Hair Trigger Flaw
So I’ve actually gone through two 8BitDo Ultimate 2 controllers already. The first one had a faulty L3, which I didn’t even notice at first since I wasn’t using it much. Once I realized, I sent it back and got a replacement.
Here’s the thing though: on both units, I ran into the same weird issue wi

Leaked images of Xbox Elite 3 controller
Does £100+ really get you anything better on a controller. My 8bitdo ultimate 2 was £40. Comes with 4 programmable buttons, hall effect joysticks. Microswitches and quick triggers. What could they possibly do for more then double that?

Ultimate 2.4G, Not even 6 months old
It's a common issue for all 8bitdo non-Hall effect triggers. The plastic piece under the trigger cuts into the rubber membrane over time. I made a lengthy post in this subreddit awhile back that delays the problem but my diy prevention eventually failed. 8bitdo won't repair or replace it unless you

Dual sense or 8bitdo Ultimate 2 ?
Dual Sense has the better gyro but you will need to use it with a cable for full potential. Wireless lacks a few features. 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless can be natively mapped through Steam (after a firmware update and booting through button combo). Out of both I prefer the 8Bitdo since you get back bu

The new Steam Controller from Valve is out now - some early thoughts
While I don't think Steam Controller is overpriced (at least not by much), controllers like 8bitdo Ultimate 2 offer a lot for 60 bucks. You get same TMR sticks, charging dock that can act as a Dongle (same way with the Steam Puck), additional shoulder and back buttons, gyro, 1kHz pooling rate and ha

Right trigger stopped working
Your issue sounds like the membrane on the trigger is worn out. Check out this post: https://www.reddit.com/r/8bitdo/comments/1c73ipk/8bitdo_ultimate_24_known_problem_with_triggers/l0j1l6p/ The 8bitdo ultimate triggers are prone to slicing themselves.

The Steam Controller Is Great!
8bitdo ultimate 2. Best switch I ever made. Xbox Elite controller macros with TMR sticks and HAL Effect triggers. For $60. It feels as good to hold as a first party device, but less prone to wear thanks to not having potentiometer sticks, costs the same as a first party device, and has the functiona
