The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller is a premium gaming controller that combines modern technology with customization and cross-platform usability. It is an ideal choice for those who want to play without compromise on PC, Android or other devices, while also expecting a professional design and additional functions.

TMR analog levers and Hall-effect triggers

The controller uses a new generation tunnel magneto-resistive (TMR) analog stick that offers very accurate position sensing and long life. A separate mode can be selected for the triggers – linear Hall-effect mode for fine dosing and non-linear (tactile) mode for fast reaction, so the control can be optimized depending on the playing style.

Important additional buttons and profile functions

There are two programmable back buttons on the controller ("pro back paddle" buttons), and the shoulder buttons (L4/R4) have a quick response design. Three customizable profiles can be switched during the game, so you can set the button layout, arm and trigger sensitivity, and vibration intensity separately for FPS, racing or platformer modes.

Driving and lighting effects

There is an RGB light ring around the arms and links, which can be set to several lighting modes ("Fire Ring" mode, light tracking, rainbow mode). In addition, the package includes a charging station/dock that simultaneously charges the controller's built-in battery and quickly makes it ready for use again, while also storing the wireless adapter.

Connectivity and compatibility

The controller supports multiple connections: Bluetooth, 2.4 GHz wireless USB-C adapter and USB wired mode. Compatible with Windows, Android, macOS and other systems. The mode switch can be used to quickly change the mode (e.g. X-input, D-input) according to the needs of the given platform.

- Switch (3.0.0 or later)
- Switch 2 (20.1.1 or later)
- Windows 10 (1903 or later)

Stability and precision

The "8Speed" wireless technology guarantees low latency, the polling rate can go up to 1000 Hz in wired and 2.4 GHz modes, so it can also be used excellently in competitive situations. The charging station automatically switches the controller on when you leave and when you enter, so that the controller is always ready for use.
