Let’s do a quick review of this controller. BigBig Won Blitz 2. There are two versions – grey one with TMR joysticks and a blue one with ALPS joysticks. This is a review of the TMR version, but they are very similar apart of the tech used in the sticks.
In the box you will get the controller itself with joysticks nicely secured, 4 spare sticks that can be swapped out easily and a spare Dpad with a different shape.
It uses mechanical micro switches on buttons, triggers, bumpers and dpad so it has a totally different feel than membrane buttons that you would have in an Xbox or Switch controller. They are very clicky and feel similar to clicking a mouse buttons. Dpad very good diagonal accuracy and works well in fighting games, it’s probably the best Dpad I have tested.
There are four back buttons and two of them are very comfortable, but the other two are placed in a weird position near the triggers and bumpers which wasn’t comfortable for me at all. The overall holding ergonomics are pretty good and there’s a grippy texture which touches the insides of your palms.
The software is pretty good, you can get it for PC or as an mobile app on Android and iOS. You can do a lot in the software: edit gyro settings, adjust joysticks, you can bind marcros and bind buttons to keyboard keys which is a great feature to have. And you can adjust the polling rate, calibrate sticks and gyro and also switch between Xinput, PS5 and Switch modes. But keep in mind the controller works only on PC, Switch, Android and iOS.
The polling rate is 2000Hz and in my tests I had a stable 1800Hz, it was a little bit more stable on wired than via a dongle, but both worked well. Latency is really great – both on wired (5 ms) and via dongle (6 ms) with Bluetooth being around 17 ms. These numbers are quite similar to an Xbox One controller.
My biggest con is that the controller doesn’t have analog triggers, so it’s a big miss if you are playing racing games or even Rocket League. And the joystick button click is kind of weird, it feels you double click it, but that’s nitpicking I guess. And I couldn’t find an option to turn off the RGB lights at least for now, hopefully it will come in a future firmware update.
In conclusion, this is a really well made controller. I would definitely recommend this one, especially if:
- If you care about a good gyro
- or you want to bind keyboard keys to controller buttons
- or you want lots of customization options within the software
- or you just want to try out TMR sticks and have a controller with lots of features and low latency
- or you want a great mechanical Dpad
- and you don’t mind not having analog triggers
