About two years ago I bought the 8BitDo Ultimate 1 3-mode and didn't have a very good experience. After a month the battery stopped charging and the controller wouldn't work wired, so I returned it and bought a other controller. But recently with the news announcements of 8bitdo I'd like to buy one of the latest Ultimate 3, I'd like you to recommend one of the three latest models they've released (Ultimate 3). I'll mainly be using it for PC, and if anyone can confirm it works on a jailbroken Switch, even better. I don't really have a very high budget, but I could save up a little more for some of the 3 or 3e models, but there would have to be a significant difference or gain for me to choose one.

Hello guys! I need your help, I have a 8BitDo Ultimate C Bluetooth and tried to update to use on Switch 2.

But countless attempts failed until it reached a point where the app started to glitch, the app sometimes wouldn't even open...And then, for some reason, I think my controller bricked, it stayed with this eternal blinking light.

And I don't know what else to do. I've already tried everything, clicked the home button, clicked the start button, already tried doing other things and nothing, nothing changes!

I already tried putting it on the Switch 1 again, I already tried charging it, spent the whole night charging and it didn't work.

I opened the controller now to try to remove the battery to try to unplug the battery to see if it would reset and that didn't work either. Do you guys have any more ideas of what it could be? And how to make it work again?

My 8BitDo Ultimate 2 vibrates briefly after holding the Home button for about one second, but nothing happens. Holding it for three seconds turns it off normally.

It happens on Windows 11 with both wired and 2.4 GHz connections, even with Steam and Xbox Game Bar disabled. It doesn’t happen when disconnected from the PC.

Has anyone else experienced this? Is it normal, and is there a way to fix it?

Hi guys! Just got my Ultimate 3E after a long wait but something strange that after using the ultimate x software to update my 3E firmware the controller won’t work again did anyone have the same problem?

The Xbox home button lights on but the top spot pairing is red light and the rgb light around the analog stick flashed.

I tried all the methods on the internet for the 8bitdo controller and the update tool or ultimate x won’t recognise my controller after the update.

I looked online and on their website. Post seems to be from a while ago and cannot get a definitive answer.

I have seen some saying yes, other saying it is finicky, etc.

- Will the lite 2 work with an iPad / Mac and Android? Wired and wireless?

Ideally, I’d like both option, and without fiddling with it too much.

Trying to make sure before getting one.

ps: looking at this controller for portability and its cheap price.
