Deal | Amazon slashes the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller to $47.69 (22% off) for a limited time

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless was announced back in February as 8BitDo's flagship controller. Since its launch, it has been discounted a couple of times, dropping from its launch price of $59.99 to as low as $47.99 during Amazon's Prime Day shopping festival. If you didn't grab it then, now is a good time, as the controller is even cheaper now.

Amazon currently has the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless for $52.99, a 12% discount off its original price. However, while that discount applies to the three colors available — Black, Purple, and White — buyers can score an additional 10% discount if they purchase the purple variant and tick the coupon price checkbox as shown in the image below. This brings the final price down to $47.69, which is about 30 cents cheaper than its Prime Day price. According to Amazon, the coupon expires on October 1.

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless for less than $50 is a great deal considering what it offers. The controller has TMR joysticks with customizable RGB light rings, Hall Effect triggers with mode switches, 6-axis motion control, extra customizable bumper buttons, and two customizable back buttons.

The Ultimate 2 Wireless is compatible with Android, Windows, and Apple devices. It is also one of the few 8BitDo controllers that have been optimized to fully work with Steam/SteamOS. Depending on the device, it connects via Bluetooth, 2.4GHz (USB-C dongle included), or wired USB-C. When connected via 2.4GHz (Windows), it maintains a stable connection with ultra-low latency as low as 1ms, thanks to a proprietary technology called 8Speed.

The 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless comes with a charging dock, which houses the 2.4GHz adapter. There is also a USB cable in the box. It has a companion software that owners can use to make adjustments to the RGB lights, motion sensitivity, vibration intensity, and trigger range. This software also allows users to update the firmware of the controller and the adapter.
