8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller (2024)

8BitDo's flagship pad pairs TMR magnetic sticks with a low-latency 2.4GHz link that runs at a 1000Hz polling rate with latency as low as 1ms. Unusually, its 2.4GHz receiver is a USB-C dongle rather than the usual USB-A stick, and the controller itself charges and plays wired over USB-C. There is no 3.5mm headset jack on this model, so chat audio runs through your PC. Below are the exact ports and cables this controller uses.

8BitDo’s TMR-stick pro pad with a USB-C 2.4GHz dongle and a USB-C wired/charge port; no 3.5mm jack.
