There's showing a solution and THEN there's making you understand the problem so you know how/why you can solve it. "a little bit about the Nintendo version because it will help you understand the Xbox version" In this age of speedy quick bits, only people who care about you, will teach in this manner. 💜As always, thank you. You truly are a rare gem.💜

thank you for the understanding i appreciate you, Thank you ♥🙏

This man had a wiring chart and used among us as an amazing sample of how to wire it, GET HIM TO 1 MIL SUBS NOW

[@supermattymaker]

My god, this dude is bloody awesome! I’m in my early 40s and only now starting to make and mod my first stick and without this dudes help(in video form) I’d of been totally lost! Great content!

[@JoystickNY]

appreciate you 🙏♥ happy to help

[@michaeljarcher]

For those who need to know the connector type is a 5way 2.54mm Pitch for the Joystick side. I'm pretty sure any electrical outlet where you live will have this kind of connector, and most likely a patch cable equally the same. Nice little video helpful for those needing assurances. Top marks.

[@venom523d8]

You sir are a Genius. Thanks so much for that info. I found a kit to make my own it’s exactly what I needed 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@venom523d8]

Can you help me please? I’ve ordered the wrong connectors twice now XH2.54 8 pin connectors (to do as he says in the video) (I broke it the first time round) MX1.25 8 pin connectors the correct size (the white connector in the video) is in between the XH2.54 8 pin and the MX1.25 8 pin. In size. What connectors should I be ordering? I’m stuck until I get the correct connectors Thanks in advance

What an amazing video, I dont even own the stick in question but your work is remarcable. The young version of me starting to mod arcade sticks in 2017 would be so happy to have someone like you.

[@doublekrpg]

I just bought a Qanba Drone 2 after buying the 8bitdo Xbox stick instead of the Arcade version you originally featured and got frustrated I couldn't change the stick. Now I know how to update the stick! Thanks man!

[@pochouayang8788]

I believe i bought my xbox 8bit do stick before this video came out, i didnt see no 5 pin connector so i had an electrician from a gaming store solder for me. Great video by the way

[@jessejohnson6435]

Fanatic Content so good to be able to confidently mod my fight stick. Those Diagrams were a massive help

[@TheLaw210]

Happy that I did it easily on the Nintendo version. This is nonsense from 8bitdo to make it so difficult to mod. I don’t understand their move. Thanks for helping people on that version. You are the best ❤

[@JoystickNY]

yea, this stick is not that easy to mod lol, at least for the xbox one

Thank you ♥🙏 i am trying lol 🤣🤣🤣

[@matheusdecampos430]

Such a great public service you made! Even though I don't have an arcade stick, seeing you engineering and moving cables around was nice. I've just started to wonder why 8BitDo engineers decided to complicate things?

[@PhilWasHere]

This is much more neat than what I did. I crimped connectors onto the wires that came with my sanwa stick and used the same method as you after.

[@JoystickNY]

That works too 👍 i dont have a crimp too

[@dirkboon3296]

I've had this stick for 8 months now, i just soldered my new lever (Seimitsu LS-56) into place.. was dead easy!

I quickly click your video. and its GENIUS.thats it.hands down on you bro.incredible explanation from details to details.you really spend so much time not just preparing and editing this video but also solving how to mod this 8bitdo xbox arcade stick so that we(viewers)just only copy what did you show for us.this video is worth of standing ovation for me.👏

@@JoystickNY and that incudes me,i mean in the aspect of buying arcade stick.i made a good decision in buying 8bitdo arcade stick(nintendo version).many reviews that say buy other arcade stick than this stick.but because your guide,i made a good decision in buying it.i thought this stick is a pain in resting the wrist as what other reviews says,but i was wrong.only to find out that this 8bitdo arcade stick is perfect only for those who has small to average hand size.just like me.i also saw other user who has the best arcade stick like hori alpha that only end up selling it because of many reason like they dont comfortable with it,they only find out they prefer pad over stick,they rarely use it etc.and because of it,i love my arcade stick even more that i only spend it in a cheap price.its only one upgrade to all sanwa away and i will satisfied.addition to that is the multiple variety of connection from bluetooth to 2.4 connection to wired.thank you for the guide.

[@KobewhonALT]

Is there any performance differences between the Xbox version and the Nintendo version? Wanted to get one of the arcade sticks for playing on pc and there’s about a $20 price gap didn’t know if there’s a huge reason for that or if it’s only because it’s official Xbox branding for the more expensive one.

[@SkyScourgeGod]

Hey bud, it's been a long time since our last chat hasn't it? I'm still rocking two Mayflash F500 sticks that I've modded with a both Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks and buttons, all info I got thanks to your older videos. Of course, that was a long time ago lol. Technically I can use either of those sticks on an Xbox by just plugging in a Magic Boots adapter, but seeing a dedicated stick for the Xbox as well as practical ways to swap parts for it is still nice. Might think about getting one to be honest, 8bitdo has been making some good arcade sticks recently. Either way, it is good to see you're still doing well and trying to make content. :)

[@JoystickNY]

thank you my friend, really appreciate you, I think the two f500 are prob going to hold it down for a long time, if you don't need to, maybe see what else comes out for the future, unless you want wireless, it does come in handy sometimes without the wires

[@liamconverse8950]

I've read that the pcb in the mayflash adds more input lag than other sticks, same with the 8bitdo arcade stick for switch. But the older 8bitdo N30 doesn't. I haven't seen any testing done on this particular one though.

[@SkyScourgeGod]

@@liamconverse8950 It originally did, but Mayflash has had several updates to reduce the lag to near zero. You can see it on their updates page for their products. Even so, a stock unit doesn't really have much lag to begin with. People just point it out stuff like that a lot because they think it's a huge enough deal without doing any research or just want to blame something other than themselves for sucking lol. You can even see JoystickNY himself using a Mayflash stick in one of his older videos and he plays just fine with it.

[@liamconverse8950]

@@SkyScourgeGod Yeah I don't think it's very easy to tell, but if you combine that with potential display lag in any lag inherit to the game itself it can definitely add up to make a difference. I was just looking at this docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1KlRObr3Be4zLch7Zyqg6qCJzGuhyGmXaOIUrpfncXIM/edit?usp=drivesdk which has a lot of data on this and expresses the lag in terms of the percentage chance of the input registering on the same frame as the button was pressed which is interesting. Say for example you're trying to practice parrying Chun-Li's super in 3rd strike, then I would say this sort of thing actually does matter

[@Chinjoka.]

Do you recommend sanwa buttons ?

[@6ix.mortgage]

Great tutorial. Do you know if the Xbox 8bitdo works on ps5 wirelessly using a wingman fgc converter?

[@os7272]

have you tried using jumper wires (male to female) to connect the 5 pin connector to the 8 pins?

[@johnlund3088]

Great breakdown 👌 👏 🙏 always enjoying listening to you and the hand gestures are a nice touch aswell 👍

[@JoystickNY]

appreciate you 🙏♥ I have a lot to learn, I want to improve my communication skills

[@razzlindazzle]

Question! Is there any difference in overall build quality between the Xbox and Nintendo versions? Or are they essentially the same (minus the cable thing for the joystick and the charging port)? Thank you for always making these guides, you’re awesome!

[@JoystickNY]

Over all exactly the same build quality

[@Mike_44]

Wow, amazing content. Thank you so much for such comprehensive work. Subscribed.

[@TexasGreed]

What are the solder pads to the right of that 8 pin terminal for?

[@alexlalligator4376]

Thanks for the great vid. When putting in a sanwa jlx, is it normal you can’t use the shaft cover with the sanwa stick. I feel like I’m missing something, the shafts seems to be the same length 😂

[@alexlalligator4376]

To answer myself, you just have to switch to the sanwa dust covers from the 8bitdo one

[@FrankieZamb]

for anyone trying to use a qanba Gravity Mechanical Shafts Arcade Joystick Silent Lever with the xbox version of the 8bitdo its good to go. I did method 1 and so far everything works accordingly. im just annoyed at the screws to close eveything back up, theyre stripped and i barely even tighten them.

[@New-Drone]

Please bring the budget Bsp y02 controller to your channel for modding it! Thanks for this video!

Hi, I bought a 8bitdo stick for the switch based on your review and Iam pretty happy with it. I would like to upgrade. Do you still recommend the same upgrades or are there newer options that are better? Also your affiliate links don't work for me, maybe because I'm in the UK? but might be a good idea for you to check them, if I can send some cash your way then all the better.

anyway, alpha and 8bit in stock are a bad choice

[@pejiSLB]

@@astarxt why? What would you choose stock instead?

[@FullmetalPain]

@@pejiSLB Ignore him. Stock Hayabusa sticks are perfectly fine. Especially if it's your first Arcade Stick. If you want some more tension you can always add a tighter spring down the line or switch to an entirely different brand.

[@astarxt]

@@pejiSLB I use an alpha with an octagon, a 4 lb spring and also threw out that ridiculous ball and replaced it with a bat. thus the Hayabusa stick has become much better. If you want to save money, then just replace the 8bit joystick with sanwa jlf 8yt since it’s the same as in Alpha, fortunately now there is this video on how to handle the installation

[@johanseth3277]

If you want ps5 compatibility You shouldn't buy ps5 stciks since they are expensive and just the same quality as the ps4 version Just buy any official ps4 arcade stciks like in Hori,Razer,Qanba and Victrix They'll be compatible to ps5 via legacy controllers And popular fighting game titles have that feature. A used hori rap4 is about 50 bucks so you get your money's worth If you wanna invest more 150 dollars can get you second hand premium sticks But overall the hori stixk alpha is good plus tye price is reasonable But if you want swicth and xbox compatibility Just buy the 8bitdo
