- Its button‑first layout features a D‑pad and 12 face buttons and omits analog sticks, signaling a focus on retro titles and emulator use.
- 8BitDo says the accessory works with iOS and Android and is “officially supported by Apple,” with a launch planned for Summer 2026.
- The company is showing the device at CES 2026 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, Central Hall, booth 15641.
