8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Controller Up For Preorder, Half The Price Of Backbone
8BitDo has officially revealed its first dedicated mobile controller in the vein of the Backbone One and Razer Kishi V2. The cradle design coupled with the signature features of the manufacturer’s stellar Ultimate controllers for PC and Nintendo Switch makes the 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Controller an eye-catching option, especially since it’s priced at only $50. Available to preorder now at Amazon, the 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Controller will be available in white and black variants starting November 29.
8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller
Like its high-end controllers, the 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller features triggers and joysticks with Hall Effect sensors, which prevents stick drift and generally offers a smoother feel. It also has two customizable rear triggers, a dedicated turbo button, and it’ll fit any phone between 3.93 inches (100mm) to 6.69 inches (170mm) in length. That covers the vast majority of modern phones. For reference, the iPhone 16 Pro Max, Apple’s largest phone, is 6.42 inches in length. The controller’s design of this looks quite comfortable as well, as it adds a more traditional gaming profile to a phone.
It also supports 8BitDo’s Ultimate Software, an easy-to-use customization suite that lets you remap inputs, adjust stick and trigger sensitivity, and more.
