8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller gamepad Purple Bluetooth USB Type-C

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller is a compact gamepad designed for Android and Windows PC gaming. It offers Bluetooth connectivity for mobile devices, a 2.4 GHz wireless option and USB Type-C wired connection for PCs, and a built-in rechargeable battery. The controller features Hall effect joysticks and triggers for increased precision, refined bumpers and D-pad for a tactile feel, and a 1000 Hz polling rate for low-latency input.

Advantages

The controller provides high responsiveness with a 1000 Hz polling rate over both 2.4 GHz wireless and wired connections. Hall effect joysticks and triggers increase durability and precision compared with conventional potentiometer-based components. Remappable Fast Bumpers (R4 and L4) enable faster control without additional software. The design includes wear-resistant metal joystick rings and a recalibrated D-pad and bumpers that deliver a light but tactile click.
