It’s now been about 2 months and they are looking great, still! (Easy to clean, too!) I’ve been waiting to see how they held up.
STICK ON TILES REVIEWS FULL
In all cases, the 8BitDo Arcade Stick for Xbox performed to a high standard on both console and PC, with or without a headset, and with both wired and wireless connections.As promised, here is my full review of using the stick on tiles for our basement bathroom. Further tests included its performance with a gaming headset connected to see how performance and battery life fared. The stick was tested both wired and wirelessly, to get a feel for changes to input delay and battery life. These include Tekken 7, Guilty Gear Strive, and Killer Instinct.
STICK ON TILES REVIEWS SERIES
The 8BitDo Arcade Stick for Xbox controller was tested over the course of a week, primarily with fighting games available on Xbox Series X|S and PC. The 8BitDo Arcade Stick for Xbox is bulkier than your average controller, so you might not get on with it for longer gaming sessions. There are controllers well-suited to fighting games’ unique button layouts, including the Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2 and the Nacon Revolution X Pro. Street Fighter 6 has done a phenomenal job onboarding new players, and its multiple control schemes complement first-time fight stick users well. Should you buy the 8BitDo Arcade Stick for Xbox?ĨBitDo’s Xbox fight stick is the best for the console at its price point and is perfectly suited for first-time stick users. When connected via USB-C, the stick will take roughly four hours to charge back to full from empty, which is quite a substantial amount of charge time, so I recommend leaving it overnight if you’re needing to recharge the device. Certainly, something to keep in mind if you’re chatting with friends while ranking up online. However, that drops significantly to around 15-20 hours with a headset connected. You’ll get around 30 hours on a full charge. Additional latency isn’t particularly noticeable, meaning a wireless connection is perfectly acceptable for casual to intermediate-level play.Īnd as with other excellent products from the manufacturer, including the 8BitDo Ultimate controller for Nintendo Switch, the arcade stick’s battery life is relatively impressive. While I personally prefer a wired connection for minimal input delay, the 8BitDo Arcade Stick for Xbox performs about as well wirelessly as the official Xbox Wireless Controller does. You might also be curious about the stick’s wireless performance. While all components are swappable, the default layout is still perfectly serviceable for beginners, and will certainly serve you well if you’re making the jump from one of the best Xbox controllers to fight stick for the first time. Said buttons aren’t particularly remarkable, but get the job done with a satisfyingly springy feel that’s well-suited to quickfire inputs. You’re getting a responsive, square gate-mounted joystick and a set of convex face buttons. While not exactly the gold standard provided by Sanwa’s excellent range of components, the out-of-box performance of the 8BitDo Arcade Stick for Xbox is incredibly solid. Though you will need a screwdriver to access the stick’s innards in order to swap out the default components for your desired replacements. Wanting to use a set of high-quality Sanwa buttons for Street Fighter 6? You’re able to do that. The 8BitDo Arcade Stick for Xbox is also fully customizable, so you can swap out its buttons and sticks for alternatives should you desire it. The Xbox stick has an identical button layout and weighs roughly the same.
Nearly everything else remains the same on the 8BitDo Arcade Stick for Xbox compared to its Nintendo Switch counterpart. You can connect a wired headset via the 3.5mm port on the front of the device, and this dial lets you disable mic and/or headset audio, or leave both enabled when a headset is connected.
The other, meanwhile, supports headset functionality.
One lets you switch between left analog, right analog, and D-pad input for the stick itself. The Xbox variant features two dials over on the top left. That’s handy, as it means you can switch between wired and wireless connectivity at a moment’s notice should you need to. Interestingly, that wireless receiver port already has the relevant dongle inserted and tucked behind a removable dust cover panel. The back end features a USB-C port for wired connectivity, which here has been separated from the 2.4Ghz receiver port. There are some key differences with the new Xbox version of 8BitDo’s fight stick. Overall, the aesthetic isn’t too flashy, but ultimately a very fitting match for Xbox’s current-generation machines. The buttons and stick bear a glossy black finish, while ancillary buttons like Menu, Share, and the function dials share the same hue as your chosen colorway.
