2 months in and RT is bashing against the RB. Crap

Unfortunately the triggers quality in the ultimate 2 is bad, really bad. Also the R4 started feeling very mushy.

8Bitdo Ultimate 2.4G controller design flaw!

The trigger buttons on the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4G Wireless Controller have a major design flaw that is being actively ignored by 8BitDo, as evidenced by their response to a warranty claim.

​The LT (Left Trigger) and RT (Right Trigger) buttons are designed in a way that cuts the internal rubber gromme

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

My initial thoughts and comparison between 8bitdo Ultimate 2 and Cyclone 2

I’m(was) a 8BitDo fan. I got the Ultimate 3-Mode last year, and it’s honestly one of the best controllers I’ve owned — great build quality, great feel. I also picked up the Ultimate 2C Wukong special edition — mostly because of the design — but it turned out to be an amazing value for the price.

8bitdo ultimate 2 is super uncomfortable.

Please advice!!! I bought the 8bitdo ultimate 2 for my switch 2 and pc. When I used it, though I really disliked the grip and feel. I have a bright red xbox wireless controller that cost me 70 bucks also, and was way more comfy. (I wanted a new one for the switch 2, since the Xbox isn't compatible.

8BitDo Ultimate 2 Controller broken trigger

I was playing a game and using the right short trigger and suddenly the trigger went pop. Causing me unable to trigger the micro switch.

Upon checking the trigger, turns out the inner side of the trigger hinge is broken where it no longer sits in the same place and moves around. This causes the pla

Ultimate 2 - This happened last night

Long story short(kind of), played last night, suddenly heard noise, checked controller. The noise came from the right trigger hitting the bumper. It obviously shouldn't be this close like how the left side is spaced out a little. The noise IS tolerable and if I wear my headphones it's not that notic
