As a tech reviewer, I have been exploring technical improvements in peripherals and controllers from the casual player’s point of view lately. I have tried many types of technology that improve the gaming experience and take it to new levels of enjoyment.
MOJHON (formerly known as BigBig Won) made that possible with their magnificent Blitz 2 TMR Mechanical Pro Gaming Controller.
Let’s find out what is great and good about this controller.
What’s in the box:
- Blitz 2 TMR Controller
- Manual Booklet
- Support Card
- 4 Alternate Joysticks
- 1 Alternate D-Pad
- 2.4g Connector
Technical Wonder to Behold
For my first impression, I was wowed at how well-built the Blitz 2 is. The feel of quality is apparent with the textured plastic on the front of the controller. The handles have a softer textured plastic that helps with the grip, making it a very comfortable hold. This made for an excellent gaming experience when playing more extended sessions.
The Blitz 2 features 16 mechanical buttons, making it e-sports-level responsive to the player’s input during demanding gameplay. The buttons’ micro switches help eliminate misfires and provide excellent tactile feedback. The available buttons are the ABXY input, D-pad, LB and RB bumpers, LT and RT triggers, M1 and M2 back buttons, and M3 and M4 extra bumper buttons.
The Blitz 2 also features TMR Joysticks with a 2000Hz polling rate in wired and wireless modes. This rate is the speed at which the controller sends data to the device. The faster it is, the better its connectivity. Regarding polling rate, the internal gyroscope has 1000Hz, which is still very responsive for games that use it.
This controller has many customizable functions thanks to its turbo, remap, macro, and config buttons on the bottom of the front. Turbo is self-explanatory; press it and select the ABXY button to apply this function. Remap allows you to map the M1 to M4 buttons to have any ABXY buttons. The macro function allows you to create any button sequence for the M1 to M4 buttons to make any special attacks or inputs.
You can use the config button to switch between four different configurations. This way, depending on your needs, you can have up to four sets of macros and custom button layouts for other games.
The MOJHON mobile app or PC tool helps customize or update the firmware of your Blitz 2 further. The app is easy to use and has multiple functions, such as remap, turbo, etc. You can also change the dead zone of your joysticks and make other adjustments as needed.
I tried various games on the Nintendo Switch, and it was enjoyable to use this controller. Third-person games like Bayonetta played smoothly with precise controls and inputs from the Blitz 2.
The controller was great for platformers and Metroidvania games. The mechanical nature of the buttons lent itself to fast response and stable control, which can compete with smaller gamepads like the CRKD Neo S or the 8BitDo SN30 Pro.
Now, the Blitz 2 is a monster for First-Person Shooters. The excellent digital triggers are incredibly responsive for games like Doom, Call of Duty, and other intense action AAA titles. I played Doom Eternal and FPS classics like Doom 3, Quake, and Quake 2 with a massive grin. Here’s hoping that id Software remasters Quake 3 Arena!
Connectivity
Out of the box, the Blitz 2 controller is designed to connect to the following devices:
- Windows 10/11 PC
- Nintendo Switch
- iOS Devices
- Android Devices
- Steam Deck using Windows Dual-Boot Drive
Drawbacks
As much as I have fallen in love with the MOJHON Blitz 2 TMR Controller, I will admit that it does have a few issues that can’t be ignored. The first one is that the trigger buttons are digital and not analog due to the design for First-Person Shooters. This means that the controller will be limited in its uses for games that require a delicate touch with the trigger, like racing games and others that require analog input.
A second (possible) drawback is that not everyone likes the tactile feel of mechanical buttons. Some would prefer a membrane-based input for their controller. I’ve loved the tactile feel of mechanical buttons, so that doesn’t bother me personally. Still, there are people with their likes and dislikes.
The Steam Deck has become my console of choice, surpassing the PS5 and the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, the Blitz 2 struggles to connect to the Deck. It works when pairing with the Steam Deck but fails to reconnect after restarting the console. After several attempts to pair the devices, I discovered that using a dual-boot drive with Windows 11 resolves the issue. In that instance, the Blitz 2 genuinely excelled with the Steam Deck.
Finally, you can find a PS mode in the mobile app. MOJHON is still researching the possibility of connecting to the PlayStation and plans to implement a firmware update. I hope they can, as this would be a match made in heaven.
Conclusion
Despite its few drawbacks, the MOJHON Blitz 2 is a product that proudly screams quality from Mount Everest. Its great build, excellent mechanical buttons, amazingly high polling rate, and customization make this device a great pro controller for e-sports and demanding gameplay. I’d recommend it for more casual players if you want an entry into more extreme gaming. The customization options could usually overwhelm, but the instructions are easy to follow, and the app is user-friendly. As it is, this has been one of the best technical controllers I’ve ever used.
The MOJHON Blitz 2 Controller is available on Amazon in two formats: TMR joystick and ALPS joystick model.
