Wukong X 8BitDo 2C Controller Review

[@Cal316326]

Thanks for the detailed review. I just ordered the wired black myth 2c for $17.

[@adinwalls]

Nice

[@choiwaynekiet]

That Brick layout on the dongle is more Mario inspired and not Minecraft

[@adinwalls]

You think? I just remember it coming out at the same time as the Minecraft craze.

[@54356776]

​@@adinwalls 8bitdo- Nintendo. It's absolutely Nintendo/Mario inspired and 8bitdo are 100% retro inspired company.

[@choiwaynekiet]

@@adinwalls if you look back at their first dongle that they came out with. It was also a brick design, but it had a pair button that was inspired by the Mario coins.

[@fiekz79]

Awesome review and controller. 8BitDo and Gamesir has been my go to brand for controllers of late.

[@adinwalls]

Gamesir have done some good stuff. I really like 8bitdo designs

[@defnotatroll]

Thank you for testing racing games. Us racing gamers are highly neglected in this FPS world

[@liefhebber6277]

Love 8bitdo so much. I yearn for the commodore keyboard they have. Digging my original Ultimate controller from them Good review!

[@adinwalls]

Yes I just love the dock. I hate having USB cables lying everywhere to charge.

[@voicedjohn]

[@adinwalls]

It's always looked like a Minecraft thing to me!

[@UncleGeeb]

@@adinwalls 100% agree it looks like Minecraft 😂

[@RRocha]

Minecraft to Gen Z eyes, maybe, lol.

[@UncleGeeb]

​@@RRocha Dude. Minecraft is 16 years old. I was in highschool when it was released, and now I'm 30. What are you talking about? 😂

[@RRocha]

@@UncleGeeb If you see that brick pattern and think Minecraft before Mario then that's ok, too. I don't.

[@aoshi900]

I bought the wired variant. Wired is OK since I just sit next to the CPU. It feels great on 3rd person shooters, dpad is decent enough for 2D fighting games.

[@orga8211]

Got two for myself and my partner. Made the recommendation to my friend, too. Everyone loves it. What a steal

[@WhatDaFaust]

This controller rocks. I questioned the new dpad at first, but actually playing games with it revealed even more comfort and precision than with the Pro 2. I am glad the paddle buttons were removed, because I always had an urge to press them for no reason. Latency with the 2.4G connection has essentially hit the lowest possible.

[@adinwalls]

Glad you're enjoying it

[@adinwalls]

An important fact I left out is that this does not have x-input/d-input selection which limit you trying to play older games on PC. You may, however get away with play older releases via the Steamdeck.

[@luckmanyo]

Have you try Set to Bluetooth mode and connect via Bluetooth on PC

[@adinwalls]

Yes. Works fine.

[@GameTechTalk]

It is extremely gorgeous. I gotta give it, they absolutely nailed the aesthetic design of this controller. Great video Adin!

[@adinwalls]

Thanks a ton!

[@MrDuece1985]

I cant get the software to work.

[@labizfinger]

how to know it's charging?

[@angryretrogamer7313]

That controller looks neat. 8bitdo makes good products. I have the sn30pro and it works very well. I got the grey dongle for it to use on super console x. Ty for the video

[@nelsing1978]

Ordered this controller after my PS5 controller i used for my PC got stick drift. It releases here the 18th so still have some waiting to do. Fortunately most games i play with mouse and keyboard so "Like a dragon: Infinite wealth" will have to wait until the new controller comes.

[@adinwalls]

You're gonna love it!

[@UnluckyDomino]

I bought the wired Wukong edition when i saw it was only £20. I just wanted to see what all this talk around hall effect was about. The build quality is more premium than i was expecting for that price, and the feel of the XYAB buttons and Dpad is quite good and tactile. Also the included USB cable is very nice My only gripe is the sticks are more stiff than i was expecting and even when i disable deadzone it still doesnt feedback to the game when i move it a little. It's also a bit more difficult to press the sticks down for L3 and R3. I got very used to using a Dualsense controller on my PC and those analog sticks move and click with less effort in comparison. Its gonna take some time to adjust i guess. Maybe it's because my Dualsense has been "worn in"? I'll keep using this Ultimate 2C and find out. Might end up returning it

[@alanaeichsteadt]

Wait. How do you disable dead zone?

[@romeofernandez8608]

@@alanaeichsteadtmost games let you set the dead zone to low or 0 like cod or apex for example

[@M_CFV]

the extra shoulder buttons, can you map those as two buttons being pressed at once, like A+B? Could be good for fighting games like Tekken

U need to press hold X when in pc first time and need to press hold A for D input, it explained in the manual i think, btw i read it online

[@Gin2341]

@@zaragabrielegsl that's for Ultimate, Ultimate C and not Ultimate 2C Also the Circularity test for Ultimate 2C sucks with an error rate of 13-15% while my DS4 only has 5-6% error rate

Hey that's the instructions for the ultimate C controller. Ther s nothing in the manual about x input for the 2C

[@3lrich]

Be careful not to dip your cable into your drink, lol. Love the video, thanks for the review. I think I'm gonna buy one

Haha, right?!

this controller also reminded me that Flydigi made an Apex 4 Pro Wukong themed controller but its on the pricier side lmao also great vid 👍

@onlypinkytube the orange is a bit darker. But I think it will. Unfortunately I don't have an OLED deck here with me.

[@BarakaTheGreat]

Does this work on Xbox if you plug it in wired?

[@silkulgame8175]

ulitimate 2c or gamesir g7? which one is recommended?

[@adinwalls]

I havent tested the Gamesir yet. Sorry

[@pranowo94]

Which one do you prefer, ultinate 2.4ghz or this one?

[@adinwalls]

I prefer my Ultimate controller with the dock.

[@dankl3ss194]

Does this use same membrane pad as xbox controller?

[@adinwalls]

I don't know but Xbox is still a dome switch in the latest controller isn't it? This has a membrane dpad (the rubber thing that makes contact with the electronics)

[@dankl3ss194]

@@adinwalls Do you know a similar membrane pad in a 1st party controller?

[@dankl3ss194]

@@adinwalls Whoops my mistake. I thought it had xbox layout so the membrane would be same as xbox. Do you know what type of membrane this uses? I'm afraid finding replacement can be difficult

No idea man. It'll most likely be a proprietary membrane specifically for 8bitdo

I just picked up 2 of these... FANTASTIC controller! I have big hands, and it feels great...and my 10 yr old son obviously has small hands, and he loves it to. Edit: Also just ran some input lag testing on wireless mode, and they average UNDER 2ms, and usually under 1ms. Thats incredible for the price

[@adinwalls]

Great to hear!

[@Gol_D_Looks]

Does it have phone bracket holder?.

[@adinwalls]

No

[@amdboy5873]

I was just looking for a new gamepad and this seems awesome. I ordered one on Ali for 30$, which seems as amazing price. I have a Ps4 controller and it's almost unusable over bluetooth. The input latency is horrible..

[@adinwalls]

Okay yes I'm pretty sure this will be better.

[@UncleGeeb]

This controller is sick! Kinda stinks it doesn't work on Switch. Love your videos dude 🤘

[@adinwalls]

Hey man, thanks for checking it out. Yes it is weird that it's Bluetooth but not Switch compatible.

[@BoyReklamo163]

They should also had that Wukong golden headband design on that controller

Just subtract the price different from standard 2C version and wukong version LOL

[@abrahamfigz6585]

Dpad is kinda stiff, will break in I hope in weeks*. Also, (very important) Re-pair your joystick for optimum response* The software sucks, an update, which you need to have great response and better calibration. Overall- No wireless controller like this can cost less than 30 with a nice design Hall-effect, Turbo, extra buttons and response time*. Beiton Asura 2 pro Plus crushes this controller and on Amazon on a good day, you can get that for $35 even has Gyro and works for switch.

Nah just a technological enthusiast. Also want to give small companies a chance. Ive wasted money on wireless High end controllers with Smart*ss costumer service. Then companies like these go above & beyond for less than 50 bucks, insane* Just wanna spread some love i guess*
