Design and use

01

Controls you can configure

Ultimate 2 Wireless has TMR sticks and triggers that switch between linear Hall effect input and a tactile mode. Extra rear buttons and L4/R4 bumpers provide more places to map controls. [1]

A different setup for each platform

Steam Input supports button mapping and configurable gyro input. Apple's guide instead describes support for games that accept MFi controllers. A compatible device does not mean identical features in every game. [4][3]

Before you explore

Match the connection and software version

For this model, Apple lists Bluetooth with iOS, iPadOS, macOS, tvOS or visionOS 26. The Steam guide lists Bluetooth, controller firmware v1.05, and Windows 10/11 or SteamOS 3.7.13 and later. [3][4]

Customization needs a computer

Ultimate 2 Wireless uses the Windows or macOS version of Ultimate Software V2. The model-specific FAQ says the mobile version is not supported. [2]

Do not interchange the Ultimate model names

Ultimate 2 Wireless, Ultimate 2C Wireless and Ultimate 2.4G are separate controllers. Their sticks, connections and software support differ; use the exact model's support page. [1]
