8BitDo’s $29.99 Ultimate 2C controller adds two more shoulder buttons

A new controller option for PC gamers?

By Andrew Liszewski, a senior reporter who's been covering and reviewing the latest gadgets and tech since 2011, but has loved all things electronic since he was a kid. For $29.99, it includes features like an extra pair of shoulder buttons to satisfy most PC and Android gamers, Hall effect sticks and triggers to keep problems like the Switch’s notorious “Joy-Con drift” at bay, and three different ways to connect it to a gaming machine with USB-C, a 2.4GHz dongle boasting 1,000Hz polling rates, and Bluetooth. Unfortunately, the Ultimate 2C’s Bluetooth compatibility only lists support for Android, leaving out the Nintendo Switch and other consoles, as well as Apple devices.
