The gaming accessory company, 8BitDo, has recently unveiled the Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller.

This new model comes with a range of impressive improvements over its predecessor. Key among these is claimed to be an ultra-low latency (1000hz / 1ms) connection, thanks to what the company dubs "8Speed Wireless Technology". Additionally, it debuts TMR (Tunneling magnetoresistance) technology in its joysticks for higher sensitivity and enhanced durability while reducing power consumption.

For those interested in the technical specs, here's a quick rundown as provided by 8BitDo:

TMR Joysticks
Speed - Ultra-low latency 2.4G wireless with 8Speed technology
1000Hz Polling Rate (for 2.4G and wired connection)
Fire Ring - RGB lighting joysticks
Extra Bumpers (R4 and L4)
Pro Back Paddle Buttons
Trigger Mode Switch
Tactile Bumpers and D-pad
6-axis motion control
Turbo Function
Vibration
Support 8BitDo Ultimate Software V

Priced at $59.99.

How do you think this will compare with the previous version?

Another stellar release. 8bitdo are seriously becoming a force to be reckoned with. When my Xbox Elite 2 dies I’ll probably get one of these to replace it. Already have the Ultimate as my go to for the Switch and when I have my Steam Decked docked to the TV.

Wonder if all this tariff nonsense it going to hurt its foothold in the US…
