Product details

The 8BitDo Arcade Controller is designed specifically for arcade-style gaming on PC and Nintendo Switch. It offers versatile connectivity options, including a wireless 2.4 GHz connection for Windows, Bluetooth for Switch, and a wired connection for both platforms. Four programmable buttons and interchangeable lock caps allow players to customize the controller's functions according to their preferences.

Flexibility in connectivity
The controller supports three different connectivity methods, making it flexible for various gaming situations. You can choose a wireless 2.4 GHz connection for Windows, a Bluetooth connection for Switch, or use a wired connection that works with both devices. This ensures a stable and lag-free gaming experience.

Programmable buttons and mechanical switches
Four buttons can be quickly programmed using the 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2, which makes it easy to modify button functions. The controller features Kailh Wizard low-profile mechanical switches that provide a clear feel and durability. Additionally, the buttons' PCB is hot-swappable, allowing switches to be changed without soldering.

Additional gaming features
The controller supports SOCD cleaning and tournament lock, which are particularly useful for competitive players. SOCD cleaning prevents conflicting commands, and the tournament lock ensures the persistence of settings during competitions. Thus, the controller is suitable for more demanding use.

Easy customization
The included four lock caps for the programmable buttons make it easier to identify buttons during gameplay. The controller also comes with a 2.4 GHz adapter, a USB cable, and user instructions, so it is ready to use straight out of the package.

Compatibility
The 8BitDo Arcade Controller works with Windows 10 (version 1903 and newer) and Nintendo Switch (version 3.0.0 and newer). This ensures broad support for popular platforms.
