this is the 8bit dude Pro2 Bluetooth
0:04
gamepad this works for Switch Apple
0:06
Steam Raspberry Pi Windows Android it's
0:09
a all-in-one awesome Bluetooth
0:11
controller 8bit Dude does fantastic
0:13
stuff and I'm pretty excited it's been a
0:15
minute since I've checked out a
0:16
controller on the channel so let's go
0:18
ahead and check it out i got the gray
0:20
version because it's kind of like a
0:21
hybrid between the Super Nintendo and
0:25
PS1 let's pull it out look at that oh my
0:28
goodness now one big feature about this
0:31
is it has Hall effect joysticks so Hall
0:34
effect joysticks are all the rage i wish
0:36
the Switch 2 controller had Hall effect
0:39
joysticks but it doesn't but these are
0:42
awesome and it it feels like high
0:45
quality so we're going to take a look at
0:46
this you can see it has the Nintendo
0:49
layout has the XBAY has the D-pad has
0:53
the start select has a few other buttons
0:55
and features but you got to love the
0:57
joysticks on the back we have the
1:00
trigger button so that's cool and you
1:02
can switch the modes with this switch
1:04
right here so you can go from Switch to
1:06
Windows to Android you name it right so
1:10
this is the gray edition let's go ahead
1:12
and pull this little sticker off here
1:15
and it's been a moment since I've done a
1:17
I guess a hardware review so I'm going
1:19
to leave a link down below in the
1:20
description for you guys to check this
1:22
out there's also a black version a white
1:25
version and the gray version all right
1:27
and again this is compatible with the
1:29
Switch Windows Apple Steam Deck
1:31
Raspberry Pi there's two prolevel back
1:34
buttons and there's ultimate software
1:36
that you can use for PC Android and iOS
1:39
I guess to program it or to set uh I
1:42
guess safe zones and stuff like that all
1:44
that technical babble but you should be
1:47
able to connect it pretty easy it's
1:48
Bluetooth wireless Bluetooth there's
1:50
rumble vibration there's motion controls
1:52
it's USBC and uh 20 hour rechargeable
1:56
battery and I'm going to do my lint test
2:00
which is playing Super Mario Brothers i
2:02
have this connected to my Switch it was
2:04
as easy as plugging it in with the
2:06
type-C that came with it and it
2:08
instantly paired it i let it charge for
2:10
a little bit and we're good to go and I
2:13
like I said it feels great inside my
2:15
hand and we're going to play it this is
2:17
how I detect whether a controller is
2:19
worth its beans or not so right away I
2:22
can tell you guys there's not much lag
2:24
usually the 8bit do controllers work
2:26
pretty good with that so jumping feels
2:29
good and I like the buttons because they
2:31
have like a spongy membrane feel to them
2:34
inside like when you push it it just
2:36
feels good like you're squishing down
2:38
something controller feels comfortable
2:40
uh you can also use the analog stick
2:42
like I mentioned they're Hall effect
2:44
analog sticks you could use the analog
2:46
stick that feels all right but the most
2:48
important thing when you're playing
2:49
these older games is how is the D-pad
2:51
feel the D-pad feels pretty good it's
2:54
hell of a lot better than what you have
2:55
on the Switch Pro i'll tell you guys
2:57
that much so right now uh playing Super
3:02
Mario Brothers on the Switch online it
3:05
feels good it feels good as uh what was
3:09
that bell Bib Devo or Tony Tony Tony
3:11
somebody that's an 80s 90s movie buff I
3:14
mean music buff tell me
3:19
got everything working pretty pretty
3:22
good on here Mario Brothers works like a
3:25
glove we're just going to play the first
3:27
stage or else I'll be here all day but
3:29
yeah the 8bit do controller that I'm
3:32
using right now feels good and light
3:39
pick up and play so not half bad let's
3:42
go ahead and try the next game right
3:44
we're going to try something else as you
3:46
can see I'm moving through the menus no
3:48
problemmo by the way so works really
3:51
good the house button is this bottom
3:53
left button so that takes you to the
3:55
home so you could do uh you do home
3:58
right away just like that all right i
3:59
want to test out the joysticks i want to
4:01
see if they actually work uh for any
4:05
kind of video game that uses 3D so why
4:07
don't we just keep up the Mario theme
4:10
and we'll go with it's a me
4:13
Mario right so let's go ahead we'll
4:16
start sucker right here it's been a
4:18
minute since I played Mario 64 but I
4:21
really want to see if if you could play
4:23
the 64 games using the analog stick
4:26
that's one that's one test I want to see
4:27
and again I'm using this on the Switch
4:29
but you can use this on Android you can
4:31
use it on Windows you could use on iOS
4:34
it's good for Steam games uh perfect for
4:36
Switch so far all right we got our
4:38
moment of truth yep okay the analog
4:41
stick works perfectly and the right
4:44
analog stick works good for the camera
4:58
triggers okay i haven't played this in a
5:00
while so I gotta get used to
5:03
uh got you get used to the
5:06
buttons all right perfect all
5:10
right so the analog sticks do work it
5:13
does take some getting used to cuz of
5:15
course N64 controller
5:18
um it's a lot different than the 8bit do
5:29
got you got to remember on the N64
5:33
certain buttons were the C buttons
5:35
certain buttons moved um the camera
5:38
around and stuff so you might have to
5:40
remap them but luckily you have the
5:44
software uh but yeah it looks like it
6:00
but it's not perfect does it work could
6:03
you make it work sure you could
6:07
um it's absolutely not perfect
6:13
though see like the trigger button did
6:16
that the right analog stick doing that
6:18
button Y is zooming around that's B a so
6:24
that's ZL does the ground pound for the
6:29
so zoom in is R so you gota you got to
6:33
get used to it you got to map it out
6:35
figure it out but it does work if you
6:38
map it the way that you want I'm sure so
6:41
yeah I always like the 8bit do products
6:44
