The 8BitDo Pro 2 Wireless Controller (Hall Effect Joystick) controls video games on PCs, 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 up to 20 hours of active gameplay. A fully depleted battery recharges in 4 hours. The entire game controller weighs 228g.
The controller uses Hall effect analogue sticks, 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 avoids the development of unwanted stick drift. The analogue sticks demonstrate a high level of precision when aiming and turning in the game environment. The body's design also features 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 PC and mobile phone. Users can reconfigure the sensitivity of the analogue sticks and adjust the vibration intensity. The software saves your settings into three separate profiles for quick customisation. You can switch between these profiles directly in-game by pressing the dedicated button.
The game controller's design includes two additional programmable buttons on the back, placed within reach of your middle fingers. Using the Ultimate Software, you can map any game function or complex command sequence to these back paddles. This gives users faster access to important actions directly during gameplay, so they don't have to take their thumbs off the main analogue sticks or action buttons at all.
A physical mode switch on the back lets you 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. An 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 feedback during gameplay, without HD Rumble support.
