Like 8BitDo's original flagship controller, the Nintendo version is called 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth and costs $10 more than the 2.4GHz Wireless model for PC that launched in February. The Ultimate 2 Bluetooth is largely the same from a technical perspective, and it still supports PC.Notably, the Ultimate 2 should work on the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 via Bluetooth and possibly with the 2.4GHz dongle, too. So if you plan on getting the Switch 2 when console and accessory preorders open, you may want to compare the new official Switch 2 Pro Controller to 8BitDo's Ultimate 2. Nintendo's controller adds two remappable back buttons, but the Ultimate 2 has four remappable inputs, upgraded analog sticks, trigger locks, and a bunch of internal customization features.8BitDo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth Controller (Switch, PC)Black -- $70White -- $708BitDo Ultimate 2 Controller (PC, Android)Black-- $60White -- $60Purple -- $60The Ultimate 2 is 8BitDo's most feature-rich controller yet.
