Black Myth: Wukong 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Controller
PC players of the recently released souls-like Black Myth Wukong should check out 8BitDo’s officially licensed Black Myth: Wukong controller. The collaboration gives the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C controller a stylish (translucent!) makeover. You can order the wireless edition for $35 or the wired version for $25. You’re paying a $5 premium versus the regular Ultimate 2C controllers, but the 2C is arguably the best controller in this budget-friendly price range.
Black Myth: Wukong 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Controller
Wireless – $35 | Wired – $25
The main draw of this controller is its design, as you’re getting a peripheral with a translucent plastic shell and several design elements pulled directly from the world of Black Myth: Wukong. You’ve got flames and sigils, all tastefully combined to create an eye-catching design to wrap your hands around, and internally, the controller has some high-performance parts as well.
Like other standard Ultimate 2C controllers, you’re getting Hall Effect joysticks, a 1000Hz polling rate when connected via 2.4G or wired connections for fast response times, a pair of extra remappable bumpers, and a turbo function for when you need to unleash a flurry of attacks.

“It’s not uncommon to go from one boss fight into another and then another, and it’s in these elaborate battles where Black Myth: Wukong shines,” Richard Wakeling wrote in GameSpot’s Black Myth: Wukong review. The moments in between, however, aren’t quite as strong, sometimes devolving into aimless tedium. But its satisfying combat and unique variety of boss fights mostly manages to overcome these flaws.”
8BitDo Ultimate 2C vs. Ultimate Controller
The Ultimate 2C is the budget version of 8BitDo’s flagship Ultimate controller, which is our pick for the best PC controller in 2024. The Ultimate supports three custom profiles and offers handy internal customization settings via 8BitDo’s app, including macro support, full button mapping, adjustable trigger and rumble sensitivity, and analog stick stick deadzones. The Ultimate has a pair of remappable back buttons, whereas the Ultimate 2C’s extra buttons are on top next to the triggers. In addition to the controller, you get a charging stand with a compartment to store the dongle.
Prime members can get the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller for Switch, PC, and mobile for $54 (was $60) at Amazon right now. The Bluetooth model also supports 2.4GHz wireless via a dongle. Three’s also a 2.4GHz wireless version without Bluetooth for PC and mobile for $45 (was $50). 8BitDo recently released the Ultimate “3-mode,” which is a bit more confusing. It is technically an officially licensed Xbox controller, though it only works via a wired connection on Xbox. It does, however, support wireless on PC with the included 2.4GHz dongle and Android with Bluetooth. Prime members can get the Ultimate 3-mode Xbox Controller for $55.29 (was $70).
