It's fine for PC, but honestly I'd just go with the U3-mode instead. The Bluetooth model doesn't have the 1000hz polling rate, uses dinput instead of xinput, no steam input support so no gyro + back button. You're really paying the premium for switch support

Community Reviews

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller stands out as a versatile pad for Switch 2 and PC, with TMR joysticks, Hall Effect triggers, a great D pad, and a handy switch between analog and digital triggers. It also supports Bluetooth on Switch and can wake a Switch 2 after setup, while the docked dongle is for 2.4 gigahertz use rather than Bluetooth. The Bluetooth model lacks 1000 hertz polling, uses D input instead of X input, and does not support Steam Input, so the premium mainly buys Switch compatibility. The coupon also appears to be dead, which undercuts the posted price.

Common Questions (5)

  • It works fine on PC, but the Bluetooth model does not have 1000Hz polling, uses D-input instead of X-input, and has no Steam Input support, so gyro and back buttons are unavailable there. The non-Bluetooth Ultimate 2 is the better Steam/PC pick if those features matter.

  • Yes, it can wake a Switch 2 with shake-to-wake after setup: power on the controller first, then shake it to wake the console. The controller also works over Bluetooth on Switch 2 without the dongle.

    Drudamisejmcguir

  • The joysticks are TMR, which is positioned above Hall Effect, and the triggers are Hall Effect. It also has a switchable analog/digital trigger mode and a D-pad that feels excellent.

    ElatedFruit2433ejmcguir

  • No, the Switch version can connect to Switch 2 over Bluetooth without the dongle. The dongle is for 2.4GHz use, though one comment suggests the docked dongle may still need to be plugged in for that mode.

  • The advertised coupon code appears dead and may not apply, so the $36 price is not currently reliable. If the code fails at checkout, the deal price may not be reachable.

There is a dongle inside the dock, which I believe is necessary. So you would still have to plug the dongle into the switch for it to work.
For the switch version of this controller you do not need the dongle.

I have 2 of them that I use on my switch 2, and they both work via bluetooth. I believe the dongle is for 2.4GHZ not bluetooth.

I LOVE these controllers, they are incredible, especially for this price. My favorite part is the switch to change from analog to digital trigger buttons.

i have the 2.4ghz version of this. pros: it has charger stand. you wouldn't think that matters but it's annoying as hell picking up a wire and plugging it into a small hole. just putting it on and taking it off the stance is heavenly convenient. controller quality is ok. hall effect sensors mean it really doesn't drift for real. problem is, they make the joystick pad sooo bad. on my older version of this, the pad literally just disintegrated and hurt my thumb. even on this new one, the pad is so thin and it kinda hurts too. they need to go back to the fat ps2 ones. the l1 and r1 buttons are so high up that it hurts my index finger to play certain games. xbox controllers had the perfect placement. the led rings are a gimmick, it's distracting in a darkened room because it's fairly close to your face and it's a bright light shining into your eye. im not exactly happy with this controller but there's really no alternative that has stand and 2.4ghz and is around 50 bucks. xbox one controller has nice ergonomics but the battery, wireless and stick drift are a joke.
