The gaming accessory company, 8BitDo, has recently unveiled the Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller.

This new model comes with a range of impressive improvements over its predecessor. Key among these is claimed to be an ultra-low latency (1000hz / 1ms) connection, thanks to what the company dubs "8Speed Wireless Technology". Additionally, it debuts TMR (Tunneling magnetoresistance) technology in its joysticks for higher sensitivity and enhanced durability while reducing power consumption.

For those interested in the technical specs, here's a quick rundown as provided by 8BitDo:

TMR Joysticks
Speed - Ultra-low latency 2.4G wireless with 8Speed technology
1000Hz Polling Rate (for 2.4G and wired connection)
Fire Ring - RGB lighting joysticks
Extra Bumpers (R4 and L4)
Pro Back Paddle Buttons
Trigger Mode Switch
Tactile Bumpers and D-pad
6-axis motion control
Turbo Function
Vibration
Support 8BitDo Ultimate Software V

Priced at $59.99.

I wish these were firmware based like Gulikit so I could modify everything without a software that inevitably won't be made for Linux.

Ive never used their software, but it exists for android, so maybe you can use it on linux with waydroid?

Surprisingly their apps don't require Google Play services and have no known trackers via Exodus. That's impressive
