A new Nintendo Switch controller has been launched by 8BitDo, and it is expected to provide players with a new and improved Xbox-like experience. The controller is reportedly going to be sold at the same price as the Switch Pro Gamepad.
8BitDo Releases a Wireless Nintendo Switch Controller that Comes with Xbox-Like Experience
The gadget was spotted in an article by Review Geek, which shows pictures of a controller that looks different from the regular Nintendo Switch controller. The newer controller aims to give Nintendo Switch players the same experience as playing with an Xbox.
The article starts off by asking players if they have ever tried using a "big boy controller" with a Nintendo Switch and states that if so, there is actually a solution available. The article then shared the 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth gamepad, which is a controller that looks similar to that of the Xbox.
The New Controller is an Upgrade from Its Previous Version, Which was Still Wired
It was notably designed to include an Xbox-like aesthetic and even comes with some advanced customization and macros support. The controller even comes with its own charging dock to ensure that gamers get to enjoy playing for longer periods of time by charging every so often.
In the past, the Ultimate controller was offered as a wired version by 8BitDo, which included 2.4 GHz configurations for PC. The new Bluetooth model, however, brings a more Xbox-like feel for gamers on the Nintendo Switch.
The Ultimate Controller Costs the Same as the Nintendo Switch Pro Gamepad at $70
The controller has reportedly been sold at the same price as the Nintendo Switch Pro gamepad, which will cost buyers $70. As per the article, the cool thing about the Ultimate controller is that players have the option to adjust the tension of the joysticks and even remap its buttons.
The Ultimate controller also comes with options for users to even assign macros, which are essentially a script of button presses, to two different extra buttons that are provided in the controller's grip.
8BitDo Nintendo Switch Controller can be Adjusted via the App on a Computer or iPhone
In order for gamers to make these adjustments, not much technical hardware skill is required. 8BitDo was built with an app that can be accessed either on the player's computer or iPhone in order to make different adjustments to the specific customization options.
Users will also be able to save their custom controller profiles which can be easily accessed by easily clicking a button located on the face of the controller. The 8BitDo Ultimate Bluetooth controller is reportedly available for pre-order.
The Nintendo Switch Ultimate controller is being sold for $70, which as per Review Geek, is considered a steal when compared to the official gamepads. The good thing about this controller is that it is wireless compared to its previous wired options.
