- New TMR joysticks and Hall effect triggers boost durability, precision and power efficiency compared with 8BitDo’s previous controllers.
- Wireless connectivity includes Bluetooth modes (DirectInput, XInput, Switch) plus a 2.4 GHz dongle that works across PCs, Steam Deck, MacOS, Android, Apple devices and Nintendo consoles.
