Frequently Asked Questions

Does the 8BitDo Ultimate Mini work on a Windows PC as well as Xbox?

Yes. It is officially licensed by Xbox and works with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One and Windows 10/11 over a wired connection.

Is this controller wireless?

No. This is the wired version of the Ultimate Mini, so it connects by cable and has no battery to charge. Check the product listing for the included cable length.

How much smaller is it than a regular 8BitDo controller?

8BitDo says it is 20% smaller and 10% lighter than the standard 8BitDo Ultimate C, which suits smaller hands and younger players.

Will the joysticks develop stick drift?

Both the joysticks and the triggers use Hall Effect sensors, which measure position with magnets rather than parts that rub together. That design is chosen to resist the wear that causes drift. Check the product listing for current warranty terms.

Can I plug a headset into the controller?

Yes. It has a 3.5mm audio jack, so you can connect a wired headset directly to the controller.
