Want an alternative to the many ‘Pro controllers on the market? Meet the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller. It’s set to be released in three variants on October 28th: Bluetooth, 2.4 Wireless, and Wired. The $69.99 USD Bluetooth variant will come bundled with a wireless adapter, while the $49.99 2.4G Wireless model is the only one not compatible with the Nintendo Switch, just Windows, Android and Raspberry Pi.
Lastly, the Ultimate Wired variant is the most affordable of the trio at $34.99, but unfortunately, all three are not compatible with the Xbox or PlayStation. They all feature custom button mapping with three custom profiles, two ‘Pro’ back paddle buttons, programmable macros, adjustable distance triggers, motion control + vibration, and a 1,000mAh Li-on battery good for up to 22-hours of continuous playtime (wireless models).
