Quick Review of the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2
I’ve just received the latest flagship product from 8Bitdo, the 8Bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller, and while it shares a similar look to the previous generation, there are several notable changes and upgrades:
Key Changes:
- R4 and L4 Buttons have been added for more input options.
- Added Triggers Mode Switching feature.
- The analog sticks now feature “RGB Fire Rings” for a visually striking effect.
- The 2.4GHz dongle has switched from USB-A to USB-C.
Functional Upgrades:
- TMR Analog Sticks and Hall Effect Triggers for more precise control.
- The polling rate has been upgraded from 125Hz to 1000Hz, “8Speed”-8BitDo ExclusiveWireless Technology.
- The button lifespan has been increased to over 5 million presses.
- The controller now includes six-axis motion sensing for more immersive gameplay.
An interesting bonus: 8Bitdo also designed a unique standing storage case（Need to buy separately） for this controller. The case, similar to the Xbox Elite Series controllers, can hold both the controller and its charging dock. Plus, it has a USB port on the back to directly connect a charging cable, allowing you to charge the controller while it’s neatly stored.
This product will be launched in early March!
