Upgrade Your Switch: 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Controller

8BitDo’s new Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller for Nintendo Switch is a budget-friendly upgrade to its predecessor. Available in light blue and pink, this controller boasts Hall Effect analog sticks to prevent drift and enhance smoothness.

Improved Features

The Hall Effect sticks, combined with metal rings, increase durability. While lacking the back buttons of 8BitDo’s flagship controller, the Ultimate 2C features remappable shoulder bumpers for customization on the fly. It retains other useful features such as built-in rumble, 6-axis motion controls, a turbo button, and a wake-on-shake function. Battery life is expected to be similar to the original Ultimate C, offering approximately 16 hours of play.

What We Know

Though we haven’t tested the Ultimate 2C Bluetooth model, experience with the Ultimate C Bluetooth and the Ultimate 2C 2.4GHz Wireless versions indicates excellent ergonomics, feel, and performance. The original Ultimate C is being phased out but remains available at a discounted price on Amazon in pink.
