The best thing about my 8Bitdo Ultimate 2.4G controller is the pair of paddle buttons on the back. Add to that the fact that both my Steam Deck and ROG Ally come with paddle buttons and I’ve gotten so used to this setup that I don’t want to game with an old-fashioned controller anymore.
Controls Hard to Reach? Remap to a Rear Paddle During the initial couple of weeks of using the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2.4G, I didn’t pay much attention to its paddle buttons.
But then I installed Hi-Fi Rush and found that the dodge, mapped to the right bumper by default, is somewhat hard to reach because of where I usually rest my index fingers.
This being a rhythm-based brawler, nailing dodge each time in sync with the rhythm was tiring and sort of hard to pull off. So, I downloaded the 8Bitdo app and created a custom profile with the right bumper mapped to both of the paddles.
And oh boy, did that make a world of difference. Now, I could easily dodge with both my fingers, so I ended up rhythmically pressing the paddles non-stop, which soon turned me into a Hi-Fi Rush dodge master and made nailing massive combos a cakewalk.
