- Connecting the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller for the first time to my computer with 2.4G Wireless.
- When the wireless dongle is plugged in the charging dock, and the dock is connected to the computer, then it works as if the dongle is plugged into the computer. That's convenient.
- Plug and play. Windows 11 detects it automatically.
- When you put the controller to its dock, it turns off automatically. And when you take it out of the dock, it connects again automatically.
- When the controller is on the charging dock and the light at the bottom of the dock is on, it means it's charging. The light's out when the battery is full. - Hry
Thank you, just got this controller last night, very useful tutorial!
Glad it helped!
Make sure the USB C behind the dock clicks when you push it in. Spent a solid 10 mins trying to debug this.
Life saver!
AHHHHH YES FINALLY IZ WORKING. THANK YOU!
you are godsent
gbu
Thank you :) couldn't figure it out and this video worked perfectly.
i have been searching
for A WEEK
FOR A VIDEO LIKE THIS
You have saved me from torture dude, thank you so much. May your pillow always be cold, your milk always sweet, and your teeth as white as can be
I honestly had no clue that the dongle is supposed to stay in the dock. I'll unplug it from my PC and hopefully it solves my disconnecting problem. Thanks for the video.
Good to know!
It works both ways apparently I use the dongle myself love to connect it to my Steam Deck when traveling
For the buttons(switch layout) you can easily remap them for pc/xbox.
This is seriously the best controller i had.
And yeah i also had the xbox elite controller.
But the Ultimate bluetooth version is seriously zo user friendly and everything about it is just soo good.
Very helpful and onpoint. thanks
idk why, but windows 11 not recognizing my control even paired with the 2.4GHz receiver. When I first connected, it worked, and then didn't recognize it anymore. What can it be?
Dude same, even in settings it has the name on it but doesn’t work.. did you solve it ?
omg there is a bluetooth stick under the dock it self hahaha that was a suprise!
its WF dongle, in order for BT to work you need buy a BT dongle for PC or have WF Mobo.
Can we connect to pc via Bluetooth??
Mine keeps blinking the adapter and the controller until both stops. I did update the firmware same issue.
You found some solution ?
try different ports of usb connections on your pc mines would only work if i connected it through the back instead of the top
What kind of PC games have you tested with it? I kinda wanna get this instead of xbox one for triple A games.
On PC, I've tested it with steam, gog and epic store games and it works very well. I also use it with emulators and they all work great.
Interesting, it shows 8bitDo ultimate with latest FW patch on GamePad tester tab and no XBOX schematics. The other (Player 2 tab ) Z gamepad is shown as xbox with schematics 🤔
Thank you ! :)
You're welcome!
How I can use P1 and P2 (extra buttons on the back of the pad) because I dont see them in steam pad big picture and in games. I wanted use P1 to run in Dark Souls 3 to be able rotate camera and run at the same time
But I cant choose this button in Dark Souls 3 :/
I'm sorry but I haven't tried those 2 extra buttons. Did you try to configure it using its official software?
Thank you sir
You're welcome!
Don't mind me asking but has anyone tried connecting the dock to the monitor which is connected to PC via USB A cable?
I haven't tried it but that shouldn't be a problem as the usb ports on the monitor will work like a usb hub.
hello bro can you help me, my controller continuously vibrates when plugged (pc doesnt detect the controller too)
hi, have you tried on a different pc?
is it possible to set it up tobe like a dualshock/playstation controller? so when you're using it you will see X, Square, Triangle, Circle buttons on games you're playing instead of xbox inputs
It's not a controller setting but game/game platform UI setting
Even with dualshock controllers you normally see Xbox buttons in games so you probably need to change this setting in games or their platforms if available or mod them
mine doesn't connect
Mine only working while on steam games, how to work it in pc not only on steam?
Is it detected on Windows' devices? If it is then it should work fine everywhere not only on steam. I can use it on any games on my pc, not only on steam.
I got the 2.4g version. Works out of the box, on 2.4g and wired But the pc application is not detecting my controller.
Did you use the pc application while the controller is connected via wire?
Is it also the bluetooth version? Because I bought the bluetooth with 2.4g, it works well with 2.4g. However, in bluetooth mode, it can be connected but it does not register any inputs at all. : (( I bought the bluetooth version so I can connect it seamlessly with pc(with 2.4g) and my phone (with bluetooth). I wonder if you can help me with this, I already emailed 9bitdo support now.
Yes it's the bluetooth version. I tested the bluetooth connection with my android phone and it works really well.
Just checking, have you switched the controller to bluetooth mode? If you have and it's not working then maybe you should RMA it.
@@codeplay644 Yes I switched it to bluetooth mode, and I already tried to reset factory settings but nothing has changed. Thanks for your suggestion, I already emailed them.
@@codeplay644 By the way, is your controller the nintendo switch variant? because this is what they replied to me...
"Bluetooth connection is only for Switch.
Connect to other platforms with dedicated 2.4G receiver."
There's no nintendo switch variant as far as I know. Mine is just the same as everybody else's, the "Ultimate Controller". And that's an odd response from them, I connected the controller to my Android phone again just now and everything works fine. Is your phone android? As the controller doesn't work with iphone.
@@codeplay644 I think there is a two variant, its either ultimate controller (xbox or switch), and yes my Phone is android, specifically Xiaomi.
i dont know why i cant connect my controller via 2.4g to pc , but normal when its wired
pls guide me , TIA
Sorry to hear that. Is the usb dongle inside the dock? If it is, make sure the usb cable is properly connecting the dock to your computer. If it's still not working, try plugging the usb dongle to your computer.
@@codeplay644 i’ve tried all possible ways and it still cant connect via 2.4g while wired and BT have no issue , and i’ve updated the firmware still cant
I got the same controller and Im having issue on triggers after using for a week. When pushing the trigger it has less to no resistance
Sorry to hear that. Can you return it as it's still under warranty?
@@codeplay644 I bought it online at shopee. I dont know if I can RMA it
try contacting the shop.. I wish you the best of luck!
@@bmo2506 Uyy sa PixelPlay shop mo ba yan nabili sa shopee? okay lang malaman kung nakapag RMA ka? Yung issue kasi nung akin is yung bluetooth connectivity :((
@@audric4482 di ko pina RMA. Pero try mo sayo since pixelplay siya. sakin kasi sa game one binili
ok the software sees the controller but it doesnt register the controller being on
any help?
try referring to the manual again, if it's not on then the software shouldn't be able to see it
@@codeplay644 fixed it turns out getting it to register just had me plug it in with the cable not the dongle
its not working tho. it could't connet by themself
este o el gamasir g7 alguien me responde por favor?
great, i'm looking for help when it DOESN'T work
Does it work on Steam Deck now?
I don't have a Steam Deck so I can't test it, but the latest Steam Deck update states that it will support this controller.
Supposed to after you update the firmware
Possible to connect on Android
Yes if you have the bluetooth version
bro called his pc a CPU
Yeah my mistake.. but you know what I mean.
A CPU is a part of a computer.
Calling your computer a CPU is like calling a car an engine.
Yeah my mistake.. here where I live we're just used to call the whole PC as "CPU"
How do you connect your usb to the CPU lol, dude thats not the cpu ffs
I know, I already explained it on another comment lol
This software is shit, i am using on 2.4ghz and it keep saying connect usb, and when i connect the usb the 2.4ghz stop working, next time i will buy a ps5 controller
