    EDIT: You can remap the analogue stick/D-pad by pressing a combo of buttons.

    You can set what the d-pad is doing via button combos that need to be held down for a few seconds (similar to other 8bitdo pads which lack analog sticks):
    -Minus button + D-pad up = D-pad control
    -Minus button + D-pad left = Left stick control
    -Minus button + D-pad right = Right stick control

    There's a button combo for changing the dpad between emulating an analog stick or a dpad.

  • @shilze1
    @shilze1 11 місяців тому

    I think the pressure thing is their attempt to make the buttons feel more reactive compared to the Zero 2, which this seems to have replaced. But if you ask me, they should have just made the thing use all Dome Switches, which have a clicky response (IDK if the Micro has them but on the Zero they were the start/select buttons)

      I have one, it wouldn't sync with my Switch. I use it paired to my PC for emulator games now. I should probably check again if it will pair up with the Switch, there are firmware updates quite frequently that mess with compatibility for better or worse.

    Well, it’s no 8bitdo SN 30 pro ,+,2, ultimate, LITE one or two, and it’s definitely nothing like the zero 2, but it has to be a step up from that? Of course, I could be wrong after all the pro two and the ultimate those with the pinnacles, especially the ultimate with hall effect joysticks.

  • @enriquepinero707
    @enriquepinero707 11 місяців тому

    I used the original zero, the one wirh the two dpads, and the follow up (8bitdo lite 2) and I come to realize that aside from joycon drift; the joycons are actually very good in single side mode with the strap. Heck, the analog sticks are even better than the coveted neo geo clicky stick controller. I tried playing street fighter ganes with it; and the moves were hard to pull off. Aside from the clicky noises, it really wasn't nearly as good as peoole boasted. At least the joycons are very responsive and dare I say; AS good/responsive as a dpad.

    Micro Bluetooth Gamepad FAQ
    What devices can the gamepad be used with in Keyboard mode?
    Why doesn’t the D-pad work when connected to the device?
    To activate the D-pad functions, press and hold either one of the button combos for 5 seconds based on your preference:
    * Minus button + D-pad up = D-pad control
    * Minus button + D-pad left = Left stick control
    * Minus button + D-pad right = Right stick control
