8BitDo Launches Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller with Advanced TMR Joysticks

The new controller offers enhanced precision, customizable features, and compatibility with PC and Android devices.

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller introduces TMR (tunneling magneto-resistance) joysticks, offering greater precision and durability compared to Hall effect sensors.
Priced at $59.99 in the US (£49.99 in the UK), it is available in black, white, and purple, with orders shipping immediately in the US and preorders open in the UK for an April 25 release.
Key features include a 1,000Hz polling rate, customizable back buttons and bumpers, RGB lighting effects, and adjustable trigger modes for different gaming styles.
The controller is compatible with PC and Android devices, connecting via Bluetooth, USB-C, or a low-latency 2.4GHz wireless dongle, but lacks support for consoles like PS5, Xbox, or Nintendo Switch.
A magnetic charging dock and support for 8BitDo's Ultimate Software V2 allow users to modify settings such as stick sensitivity, dead zones, and lighting effects.
