  • For the Ultimate Wireless 2, check this gist.

    TL;DR:

    • Get a Windows Machine (a VM works too)
    • Download the 8BitDo Firmware updater
    • Update both the controller and the dongle’s firmware
    • Add the udev rule to your machine
    • When turning the controller on, hold the B button*

    Tada, Gyro and extra buttons.
    Not sure if it also works over wired and bluetooth but can confirm it works over the 2.4g dongle.

    *: Pulling it out of the dock while holding the B button won’t work for some reason.
    You must pull it out, turn it off, and turn it back on while holding the B button for it to actually work. Annoying!


  • It’s stable, works as good as my DualShock 4.
    Though I used it very little over Bluetooth, I prefer the 2.4g dongle, so YMMV.

    Edit: 8BitDo sells this controller in 2 variants: The Ultimate 2 Wireless (comes with the 2.4g dongle, Xbox button layout) and the Ultimate 2 Bluetooth (No dongle, Nintendo Switch button layout).
    Maybe the Bluetooth variant works better?
