Charging dock
The package includes a charging dock that keeps the integrated 1000mAh battery charged. When you remove the controller from this dock, it automatically reconnects to the last paired compatible device. This system reduces the need to manually power on and search for a signal before every game. The dock connects via the included USB cable.
TMR joysticks and sensing precision
The controller uses joysticks with TMR technology, which offer greater sensitivity and movement precision while reducing power consumption from the battery. The sensor chip works with 12-bit resolution for detailed registration of the slightest stick tilt. The design includes wear-resistant rings, which increases the overall mechanical durability of the entire joystick during intensive use. The magnetic ABXY buttons can be easily removed to physically swap the layout between Nintendo Switch and Xbox standards.
Quick response and extra buttons
The controller's body features a total of 16 buttons, including quick R4 and L4 bumpers and two programmable rear buttons (back paddles). These controls are used to remap functions without needing to immediately install the utility software. The device also supports a Turbo function, vibration, and a six-axis motion sensing set using a gyroscope for compatible game consoles and systems. The trigger switches operate in two different travel modes, which can be toggled using an integrated hardware selector. This setting adapts the trigger behaviour to the specific requirements of racing games or fast-paced shooters.
Wireless connection
The wireless connection is provided by the included 2.4GHz USB-C adapter, which reduces transmission latency. For detailed customisation, you can use the 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2, where you can adjust stick sensitivity, button mapping, and vibration intensity. You can save up to three separate user profiles to the controller's internal memory.
