On March 14, 2024, Octopus officially released the Pro 2 wireless gamepad. As the newest product of Octopus Pro series, Pro 2 has been comprehensively upgraded in terms of appearance, function and performance, bringing players a more excellent gaming experience.

The Pro 2 continues the classic design of the Pro series, with a simple and generous overall shape and a comfortable grip. On the front of the handle, there are four ABXY buttons, as well as cross keys, joystick, L/R keys and other function keys. On the top of the handle are the Start, Select, and Home buttons, as well as a USB-C connector for connection.

The Octopus Pro 2 supports multi-platform connectivity, connecting to PC, Switch, Mac, Android, and iOS devices via Bluetooth or USB-C cable, and is compatible with all major gaming platforms and games.

The Octopus Pro 2 has a built-in 6-axis somatosensory module that supports somatosensory operation. In games that support somatosensory functions, players can utilize the joystick's somatosensory function for more natural control and a more immersive gaming experience.

Octopus Pro 2 supports the Octopus Elite software, which allows players to customize the configuration of button functions, joystick sensitivity, trigger button strength, etc. to create their own gamepad.

Built-in 600mAh Li-ion battery in Octopus Pro 2 can provide about 20 hours of battery life after a full charge, to meet the needs of players for a long time game.

After I got the Octopus Pro 2, I had a brief trial experience.

In terms of appearance, the Octopus Pro 2 has a very delicate workmanship, and the surface of the handle is made of skin-like material, which is comfortable to the touch.

In terms of compatibility, I tried to use the Octopus Pro 2 to connect with PC, Switch and Android devices, and all of them were able to connect and recognize smoothly.

In terms of somatosensory function, I tried the somatosensory function when playing The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and was able to control the character's movement by tilting the handle, which was a very novel experience.

Elite software, I customized the key functions through the elite software, the commonly used jump and attack buttons are set in a more accessible position, the operation is more smooth.

In terms of battery life, after 4 hours of continuous game play, I still have about half of the handle's battery life left, which is excellent.

Overall, the Octopus Pro 2 is an excellent wireless gamepad with classic appearance, comfortable feel, multi-platform compatibility, somatosensory function, elite software customization, and strong battery life, making it a highly recommended gamepad.

Pros: affordable price; multi-platform compatibility; support for somatosensory features; support for elite software custom configurations; strong battery life.

Cons: does not support features such as adaptive trigger and haptic feedback; relatively low brand awareness

The Octopus Pro 2 is suitable for gamers with limited budgets, gamers who need multi-platform compatibility, gamers who like somatosensory features, gamers who like customized configurations, and gamers who have requirements for battery life.
