The 8BitDo Pro 2 Wireless Controller (Hall Effect Joystick) lets you control video games on personal computers, Nintendo Switch consoles, SteamOS systems and mobile phones. Connect it wirelessly via Bluetooth 4.0, or use a wired connection via the USB-C port. The integrated 1000mAh lithium-ion battery powers the device for 20 hours of active gaming. A drained battery fully recharges in 4 hours. The entire game controller weighs 228g.
The controller uses analogue joysticks with a Hall effect, which sense position and movement using integrated magnetic sensors instead of mechanical contacts. This non-contact technology effectively prevents physical wear of the internal components and the development of unwanted stick drift. The analogue sticks demonstrate a high level of precision for aiming and turning in the game environment. The body design also includes an enhanced grip for a stable hold on the controller during gameplay.
Using the accompanying Ultimate Software, you can customise the behaviour of individual controls on your computer and mobile phone. Users can remap the sensitivity of the analogue sticks and adjust the vibration intensity. The software saves settings into three separate profiles for quick customisation. You can switch between these profiles directly during a game by pressing the dedicated button.
The game controller's design includes two additional programmable buttons on the back, positioned within reach of your middle fingers. You can map any game functions or more complex command sequences to these back paddles using the Ultimate Software. This gives users faster access to important actions directly during gameplay. This means they don't have to take their thumbs off the main analogue sticks or action buttons at all.
A physical mode slider switch on the back allows you to quickly change settings between Switch, Android, D-input and X-input platforms. The controller supports Windows 10 and higher, Android 9.0 and higher, iOS 16.3, iPadOS 16.3, and macOS 13.2. The integrated motion sensor supports motion control by tilting the entire controller. You can use this feature exclusively when playing on the Nintendo Switch console. Standard rumble vibration motors provide gameplay feedback, without HD Rumble support.
