I can’t change this red light on my left joystick

I tried a bunch of tutorials on how to change this red light, but none of them worked. It was working fine at first, and all the lights were functioning properly. But when I connected it to a PC, it suddenly became like this. The whole controller is working fine. I just can’t control the lights.

How can i connect the 3 mode xbox to dongle ?

So i bought the 3 mode controller and i loved it love the hall effect sticks and triggers, the controller feels sturdy and good, but i don't like that to play on xbox you have to be wired, but then i saw that 8bitdo makes an dongle so bought that to, only problem is pairing it.

I looked up guides and from what i saw it was as simple as plugging the dongle in and hitting the button to pair and then holding down the pair button in the controller, only that didn't work i couldn't pair it.

I set to both 2.4 mode and bluetooth mode and they won't pair, i also made sure to update the firmware on the dongle, now am not sure what to do ?

Please help.

Image of the dongle i have and controller included, just pulled them off the web but it looks to be the first gen dongle that i have, it doesn't have the "2" on it

Yes I am dumb but I need help

SOLVED! Dongle fixed it all, thanks!

I have the ultimate 2 wireless controller, my son uses it for his PC. Hooked up via Bluetooth, my question is we have it working for steam games just fine but when he loads up the Xbox PC app we can’t get it working for that. What the heck am i missing?

Shake to wake don't working after pairing

Hi guys, the "shake to wake" feature stopped working after pairing the controller with another Switch 2.
The same happened to a friend, and we can't get our controllers to wake the SW2 again.

Worked fine after the firmware update, but after I pair my Pro3 controller in another SW2, it won't wake my SW2 anymore.

Any tips?

Clear blue appreciation post

Only complaint is I wish the keyboard’s spacebar had the clear frosty white option but I’ll find a custom one eventually. Looks amazing!

8bitdo Ultimate 2 is pissing me off.

It all of a sudden randomly stops taking inputs. Wired? Wireless? Dongle? all the same. Works for 5 minutes then stops accepting any and all inputs.

Latest firmware, no other dongles in sight for a mouse, keyboard, etc. Controller is fully charged too and I've tried 10 different USB C cables, same issue.

Flip Pad came in and I got a temporary “case”

My Flip Pad came in today and I wanted to quickly get a temporary “case”. This one seems to work fine and it was $2.36 at Daiso. It fits nicely, and can just clip it to your belt loop or put it in your bag. There was another coin purse or coin bag that was leather and fit it even more perfectly but I went with this one for the look of it.

Pro 3 bluetooth gamepad 8bitdo

I wanted to get the sn30 controller, it syncs well with the ios a guy said in my last post, but he also said the only problem with it its that its small and uncomfortable, i want something worth my money or good alternative overall. Does anyone have any experiences or problems with the pro 3? I want to use it on my ipad on games like roblox minecrat and fortnite and mostly roblox. Thanks

Will 8bitdo fit my hands?

I'm choosing a gamepad, and 8bitdo Ultimate 2 or Pro 3 look like the best choices for my needs all around. However, I have larger than average hands - 20 cm - and I'm seeing a lot of complaints about ergonomics of these controllers for large hands on the web, especially because of narrower grips angle. I used three pads in my life - Xbox 360, Dualshock 4, and Xbox Series. All of them were comfortable for me.

For people who have similar hands size and maybe used these controllers, how do you feel about 8bitdo' ergonomic compared to them? Would appreciate any feedback.

8bitdo Flippad case compatibility photo references

Hopefully this helps if anyone was considering buying but was unsure about the case. Let me know if questions or want to see more angles measurements.

My case has a lip that hangs 2.5mm over the case wall which is about 3mm. The flip pad fits, sits, and plays perfectly. I tried to get as many angles as I could and also pictured is a very thin case about 1.5mm.

The case prevents the device from moving side to side and I would highly suggest you use one with this device because of that.

The d-pad is very clicky and loud, I wish was the same mechanism as the face buttons.

8bitdo, you should have made a case compatibility and clearance spec guide for the launch of the flippad. By not doing so you pass the risk onto your customers.

8bitdo Nintendo 64 buttons

Hello everybody, I have a small simple question. I have recently bought the 8bitdo n64 controller. I got the all black version. I was just wondering if anybody has bought the colored buttons from the website and how long it takes to receive from time of purchase I ask because I’m moving from one apartment to the other within the next month and I wanted to make sure that they would get here before I move

Ultimate 2 ABXY Buttons

I am unable to find any replacement buttons to make the layout similar to xbox. I took matters to my own hands and painted the buttons flat black then wrote the letters myself lol! I could've done a better job with the lettering but at least now I will not be confused.

I know you can remap using the software but the layout would still be wrong. I spray painted the buttons with flat clear to make sure the letters won't be erased. I'm planning to redo the whole thing and just print the letters on my printer then re-coat with clear paint.

Haven’t seen anyone post a picture online of a ghost controller with classic buttons (maybe because it’s not an OG color), so here’s what it looks like.
