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.

How do you think this will compare with the previous version?

That's the specs for the already available Ultimate 2C Wireless controller. And it costs only 30 €.

EDIT The specs read similar on the first glance. Turns out, the new controller is even more refined and adds a few features, such as sixaxis and lights.
