8BitDo's New $30 Wireless Switch Controller Has Hall Effect Sticks And Extra Bumpers

8BitDo is expanding its lineup of Nintendo Switch controllers with a second-generation model of its budget Ultimate C Bluetooth Controller. The 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller, just like the PC version that launched earlier this year, adds Hall Effect sticks to what was already an extremely solid bargain gamepad. The Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller for Nintendo Switch is available now for $30 in light blue and pink colors.

The original Ultimate C Switch Controller was has been our favorite $30 or less option since it launched. If you bought a Nintendo Switch as a gift and are still in need of some extra controllers for multiplayer, 8BitDo’s Ultimate 2C Bluetooth Controller should be on your radar.

If you want all of those features without Switch compatibility, the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4GHz retails for $50. It’s available in four colors, but only the white model is on sale for 10% off right now. There is a Genshin Impact-themed edition for $54 (was $60). Speaking of themed 8BitDo controllers, the Black Myth: Wukong edition Ultimate 2C is still available for $35 at Amazon.

You can also save $20 on 8BitDo’s Ultimate 3-Mode Controller, which is officially licensed by Xbox. Unfortunately, it only works with a wired connection on Xbox, but it will work wirelessly on PC via the 2.4GHz adapter and over Bluetooth on Android.

8BitDo recently released an officially licensed accessibility controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. The 8BitDo Lite SE 2.4GHz Wireless Controller replaces triggers and bumpers with four additional face buttons. It’s available for $54 (was $60) at Amazon and only $45 at Amazon-owned retailer Woot.

In January, 8BitDo is adding to its retro mechanical keyboard line with a translucent green model licensed by Xbox. The keyboard matches the iconic green variant of the original Xbox console. A wireless mouse with the same aesthetic launches the same day. You can preorder 8BitDo’s Xbox-themed keyboard and mouse at Amazon ahead of their January 16 launch.
