  Ultimate 2 is fully bindable in Steam (even gyro if you do directinput over bluetooth).

  Valve gonna Valve but there isn’t a reason to assume a regression on that. But, like everything, don’t preorder things.

    Ultimate 2 also does Gyro over the 2.4 dongle (At least in the Wireless version).
    Update the firmware of the controller and the dongle and hold B when turning on.

    I have an Ultimate 2 and I haven’t been able to figure out how to do that so I can’t remap the back buttons with Steam input.

    What’s the trick?

      1. Update the firmware of the controller and dongle (technically the dongle isn’t necessary if you are using bluetooth). I did this in a VM because Linux
      2. Fully power down the controller. Switch to the connectivity mode you want
      3. Hold the Circle/B button and power on the controller to enable directinput mode
      4. Update Steam to the Beta branch
      5. Open Steam’s controller remapper
      6. Regardless of connectivity, you should have mappable L4/R4/BackPaddles. If you are using bluetooth you will also have the gyro

        Thank you. It looks like this is sort of working in that I can get the additional buttons to show up in Steam now but I’m hitting what I think is a bug where the ‘Enable Extended Buttons’ toggle doesn’t stay enabled. After searching a bit it seems like I’m not the only one but maybe that will get worked out soon.

      Right now has to be the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 wireless. Not the bluetooth switch one. Need to update the dongle and controller to the latest beta firmware and launch it in dinput mode by turning it on while holding the B button. Then all the extra buttons can be mapped along with using gyro with analog triggers, which couldn’t be done before.

        Is Dinput mode limited to Bluetooth only or can it be used on the 2.4ghz as well?
