I can try to answer any questions, but it doesn’t seem like the 8bitdo Ultimate software is availible for download yet. Im not big into mechanical keyboards, this is actually my first, so I don’t have much direct comparison experience to other keyboards.

but the buttons are big and f u n.

    Got mine today too, really loving it so far. Space key has that nice thock to it. Styling is nice, macro programming was easy. The big buttons feel good too, they’re a single switch key but stabilized well enough to hit anywhere and as hard as you want.

    My only issue is that the caps lock and scroll lock lights don’t work. Not a dealbreaker for me and I’ll probably pull it apart to see if I can fix it myself but it seems about on par with 8bitdo’s other products in terms of quality. Not A+ but still a wonderful product.

      Aww what a bummer dude, sorry that happened. I can chime in and say that my lights did work out of the box.

      I’d appreciate an update on your repair attempts/observations. You could even post in my community, consolerepair. Shameless plug aside, I’m super curious to see actual pics and your thoughts.
