What is the priority of Analogue?

You're not hot swapping hucard games are you? I believe we're not supposed to do that. I've only had the 8bitdo arcade stick get wonky on me once. Other than that, I wouldn't expect much from Analogue on the Duo front. Maybe we'll get one more update down the road, specifically if there's any work t

2026 New N64 controllers

I played the 8bitdo yesterday the first time. For Mario Kart 64 it was fine - although the double triggers irritate me (especially when having played newer Mario Karts lately). But playing the AKI wrestling games with the D-pad was much worse. They should have switched the stick and d-pad.

Flexstrike Arcade Stick

It's essentially an eight button, first party version of the DOIO Arcade Stick with an optional wireless connection (PS Link is probably the best connection to have over standard BT & universal 2.5ghz receivers from 8Bitdo arcade sticks, Mayflash F700 and third party PS5 controllers). I'm actually s

Can't get past the first screen too

The A3D doesn't work with the 8bitdo Arcade stick. You need either an original N64 controller, or a supported wireless controller: https://www.analogue.co/support/3d/guide/controllers#supported-wireless-controllers

8BitDo Square Gate Skipping All Diagonals

I have the 8bitdo Arcade stick and used the default square gate for a while and didn't notice any problems. However I ended up swapping it for a JLF down the line because the lever felt cheap to me. I strongly believe that this is more of a muscle memory issue than a square gate issue (that's gonna

Auction rip-off

Looks like the lever that comes with 8bitdo arcade stick, at least the one I got years ago had a stick that looks exactly like this. I ended up changing it too because I hate how it feels, or more precisely the lack of it. 4 first pins and directions, 4 last are ground. You can merge ground into one

Using TWO Brook P5 + 8bitdo Xbox Sticks for Local Multiplayer

Still doable but a bit more involved to do on the Xbox stick than the Nintendo one. On the Nintendo version you can use a 5pin cable with the bits clipped off to make it flush. Here’s a video I found on the Xbox one though, brother man How to mod 8bitdo arcade stick Xbox

Should I get a stick controller, a hitbox or a WASD controller for 2XKO

I bought the 8bitdo arcade stick for Xbox but could not get on with it for 2xko, even after setting the deadzone to 0. Building my own hitbox now with an arrow key cluster for movement controls.
