I Am A Delight

Old queer trans woman from Norway. Mainly post in English. I write stuff sometimes. Expect bad jokes. Girls and cats are nice.


My 8BitDo "Ultimate" controllers have arrived, and I have given them a quick test.
My impressions are compared to a regular Switch Pro controller.

First off, the triggers feel a little off... not so bad I can't get used to it, but it was the first... no, the second thing I noticed.
The first thing I noticed is how excessive the rumble is. It vibrates so much at any little thing. I can't figure out if there's a way to reduce the intensity.

Otherwise it feels like a good controller. I will need to play with them more, but I don't think they're inferior to a regular Pro controller, except in lacking some functionality, like the amiibo reader.
The weight feels right, the buttons are nice, and the sticks seem to work well, with possibly even less deadzone than a regular Pro. At the very least equal, and it's certainly nice after how worn out my old Pros have become.

The extreme rumble, and the trigger buttons are my only two complaints.
The triggers don't click like on the Pro, they just slide with a certain amount of resistance, and it feels off.
But as I said, I'll probably get used to it.

Seriously why is the rumble like that though?
