8BitDo Ultimate 2C: A Budget-Friendly Wireless Controller
8BitDo has released its latest affordable wireless controller, the Ultimate 2C, for $29.99. This controller boasts several impressive features.
Key Features:
- Extra Shoulder Buttons: Includes an additional pair of shoulder buttons (L4 and R4), remappable without needing extra software.
- Superior Stick and Trigger Technology: Employs Hall effect sticks and triggers to mitigate issues like Joy-Con drift.
- Versatile Connectivity: Offers USB-C, 2.4GHz (with 1,000Hz polling rate), and Bluetooth connectivity.
- Multiple Color Options: Available in green, purple, peach, and a striking mint with orange accents.
The Ultimate 2C, while offering great value, has some limitations. Bluetooth support is currently limited to Android devices; wireless PC use requires the included dongle. Also, unlike some 8BitDo controllers, it lacks compatibility with their customization software.
Despite these minor drawbacks, the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C, with its added buttons, improved stick technology, and multiple connection options, looks to be a strong contender in the budget gaming controller market. It’s available on Amazon with a release date of July 15th.
