just stumbled across your channel looking for this exact tutorial - which delivered perfectly, excellent demo of procreate and the 8bitdo - and am delightfully surprised at the quality of it and humour you two have. thank you for making a video on this niche combination!
Helpful tip - In Procreate while it won't increase\decrease brush size by 1% only 5%, the workaround is to adjust your brush settings - properties - Maximum and Minimum sizes. If you play around with this you can reduce the jump in brush sizes. Also like they mentioned for the eyedropper it's in the gestures menu for eyedropper, turn everything off except square + Apple Pencil, then program the M key to the button of your choice.
Tysm❤ this video helps me a lot. I’ve been looking for this instruction for a long time and see no one talk about the application to change the shortcut! 😢
Im having a bit of an issue, im able to change the hotkeys but once i go to use it in procreate it doesnt work? Gave any ideas what could be the issue?
Hello NelsonXP, The Procreate Keyboard shortcuts sadly dont include the options you would like. It may be because of the touch interface and what Procreate devs think would be relevant to the user. It would be nice if they gave everything a Keyboard Shortcut. Hopefully they are listing in. Sorry we couldn't help but we hope you have a great art day .
Hello RHDYTstudio , we really dont think so because if the controller is in keyboard mode it shouldn't conflict with you're gaming config . Gaming and keyboard modes are 2 different internal profiles so it really shouldn't do any thing. We hope we could help .
bro please do let me know, is the 8bitdo lite 2 compatible with the utimate software 8bitdo software can you connect and remap those button? cause as far as i know, the lite 1 was not compatible. so how is the lite 2?
So I bought this controller thanks to this video, but I have one major issue with it and I was wondering if you could help; the controller keeps going into sleep mode while I draw and every time I want to use a shortcut; i first have to turn the controller on... It's not ideal. How do I fix this? I've used both 'sleep' options in the app, but none fix this problem.
Hello Liamdepam, We have that problem only when the micro is almost out of power. We try to keep them charged all the time. Make sure the disable Sleep is turned on in the app and it is fully charged. We hope this helps you out.
@@mosscharmly Hey thanks for getting back to me. As it turns out, this is only a problem when the controller doesn't have the last update ^^ Figured I'd comment that here in case someone has the same issue.
I have a problem with the gamepad, maybe you have an idea: I try to set it up with the software all the time, I can operate and synchronize everything in the software, but it won't take over. Unlike your gamepad, mine continues to flash a blue light. The switch is set to “K” as required by the software. The gamepad has also not appeared in my bluetooth device list. Any ideas? My iPad is also set to English (device language and keyboard layout) as I am actually from Germany. Thank you ~
Hello miss_akii , It sounds like you are doing every thing right but in order to sync the micro you have to put it in pairing mode. There is a little button next to the S-D-K switch , hold it down and the flashing blue light will get supper fast thats how you know it is in pairing mode . Keep holding it down and in you're bluetooth setting on the iPad it should be visible. it will say under Other Devices 8BitDo Micro gamepad , select it and now it should connect after all that . the ipad wont see it unless the blue light is flashing rapidly on the micro. We really hope this helps you out . If you have any other questions just let us know .
the 8bitDo ultimate software has a limited amount of gamepads it works with. The 8BitDo Micro is on of them. sadly it dose not work on all that 8BitDo offers.
Hi dorotson337, Since you have don every thing like we did it should work , but it doesn't. Make sure the mini is switched to K and open the Ultimate software . Delete the profile on the Ultimate software .Now create a totally new Profile and use the shortcut key we made to install all the shortcuts. Maybe doing it all over again could fix it? If we were you maybe customize the buttons to you're specific needs in procreate. Dont forget to save it when you are done. We lost profiles by not saving. we hope this helps.
Hello Nathanielricamara7460, yes you can remap the dual sense controller . we found a lifehacker article that could help you out lifehacker.com/how-to-remap-your-gaming-controllers-buttons-on-any-pla-1846783156#ps4 .
Hello Aman_Mondal , Yes it is but the zero 2 has to be modified or remapped with software to change the keyboard imputes to conform to the procreate shortcut keys.
Hello, Good Question. Yes you can in the ultimate software for the micro you can add Alt as an option for a custom option. We found the alt key option in Others submenu . We hope this helps you out and have a great day.
Hello RosalinaRobertson. It really depends on what hand you would hold it in. Check out the pdf we made at ( mosscharmly.gumroad.com/l/uahzj?layout=profile ) We hope this helps you out and everything goes ok. If this doesn't help, let us know.
@@mosscharmly thank you for the pdf. It helps amazingly , do you know how to put the command button and the [ , on the same button so I can increase by 1 size instead of by 5?
Hello seii791, we really wish we could help, It works for us. The only thing we can say is double check every thing in the Ultimate software and charge it up all the way and re sink it to the iPad? You have already don all of that of course we wish we could do more.
Can this work on clip studio paint on iPad? I was looking into getting the tabmate but there's no way to get it. They only sell it in Japan and it's always sold out everywhere
Hello williammclean6594 . Sorry for the delayed response but yes it will work with CSP shortcuts on the IPAd Pro. Hope this helps you out. WE use to use the tab mate and like the 8BITdo Micri so much more.
@@mosscharmly yeah it's so much more expensive. You can actually get it the Amazon Japan page if you make an account. But yeah if you live in another country it's so much more expensive. Like I live in Canada so like every $100 American it's like 150 Canadian. For some reason American minimum wage is just way better. But I guess we don't have to pay for health insurance. I know a lot of jobs have health insurance in the states, but I'd rather just have universal healthcare
Please i need help, i live in europe and i have a problem to configure the brush size Increase/Decrease it is the letter (ä) and (ö), and the Alt option with 0196 will not work because the software allows only 4 combination :( if someone can help me i would be very happy
Hello AlgerieHD, we suggest using ] for increase and [ for decrease of the brush size you can find it in Numbers and Symbol Keys in the ultimate software . It would be nice if Procreate would allow changing the keyboard shortcuts . we hop it helps, let us know.
Hello, I bought the controller and I notice something odd: it randomly turns off when I'm in K mode. Have you had this type of issue? If so do you have a fix for it?
Hello AlphakamiSama, We really haven't had that problem but , we did notes that if we hadn't used it for a little bit of time it would auto shut off. The shutting off, for us was because it wasn't fully charged we hade to really be on top of it because for both of us we have to charge it quite a lot. We hope it gets better for you .
Hello mlady95 , Sory it is not working for you . Make sure blue tooth is on the tablet , Dubble check the Shortcut keys are right . When syncing the Micro make sure the switch at the bottom is set to the letter K and you pressed the little button next to the switch so that the blue light flashes rapidly. pleas let us know how it goes.
Thank you! Et si des français passent par là, le pad est configuré en qwerty et non en azerty. Remplacez le m par ; et le z par w . Tout le reste fonctionne. Thanks a lot

The eyedropper feature was the one I needed the most! I came across this by chance, and I hope others know it.
Tysm❤ this video helps me a lot. I’ve been looking for this instruction for a long time and see no one talk about the application to change the shortcut! 😢
Glad we could help you out kan9745.
this is a great idea. They should sell a proper single hand joystick for this application, like the Wiimote. it could be a bit more ergonomic.
That is a great idea JAFOpty. Especially it being ergonomic. That would be awesome.
This video was done very well and super informative. I really like ya’lls vibe! I subscribed, looking forward to more awesome content from ya’ll.
Thank you so much mishaelwardnoahjags! We really appreciate that! And thank you for subscribing to us!
Thank you so much the only video I've seen on a very important device for workflow improvement
Glad it helped HobbesKarate . Thank you
It doesn't work for me to increase/decrease brush, with the shortcuts [ ], could someone help me? How can I configure it?
I've got the same problem...
thank you for this video it was very helpful
Hi Polkadog, So happy that we could help out. Have a fun art day!
how to mapping just a single Win/Cmd key?
Thank you guys :)
Hello seiji_senpai and we are happy to help. ;)
Im having a bit of an issue, im able to change the hotkeys but once i go to use it in procreate it doesnt work? Gave any ideas what could be the issue?
You guys rock!
Thank you Sheheryara. You rock too!
Hello guys, any idea how i could map buttons on Procreate for Smudge tool? Zoom in/out and panning too?

Question: I bought the 8BitDo Lite 2 for gaming purpose on my iPad. If I do this customization, will it mess up the default configuration for gaming?

Hello Aman_Mondal , Yes it is but the zero 2 has to be modified or remapped with software to change the keyboard imputes to conform to the procreate shortcut keys.
@@mosscharmly oh okay
How do you set up the M or color picker? It doesnt work forr me
Hello you might want change it to a different letter or number combo . we hope this helps.
Oh hav one question. Is it possible to make one of the buttons as an ALT key for the eye dropper tool?
