8BitDo All-Button Arcade Controller Gets First Big Discount At Amazon

The All-Button Arcade Controller has 12 circular buttons representing inputs for the D-pad, face buttons, and bumpers/triggers. These buttons have RGB lighting rings with six customizable effects modes. It also has four bean-shaped buttons. Two of these are for right and left stick clicks (RSB/LSB), while the other two are extra remappable buttons (P1/P2).

All of the button use low-profile Kailh Wizard mechanical switches. Like 8BitDo’s original Arcade Stick, the Arcade Controller has a hot-swappable design. Button caps can easily be removed to clean the switches or swap in new caps. The Arcade Controller comes with four locking caps for RSB/LSB and P1/P2, in case you want to disable them to avoid accidental presses.

As an officially licensed controller, it has the normal settings buttons found on the Xbox Wireless Controller on the top row: Xbox, View, Menu, and Share. You can adjust light ring brightness and switch between lighting modes with the RGB button. The P1/P2 buttons can be remapped on the fly with the Star button, and you can cycle through custom control layouts with the Profile button. The two dials on the top left adjust volume and enable/disable tournament mode.

With 8BitDo’s Ultimate Software X for Xbox and PC, you can remap all inputs, customize RGB lighting effects, and choose your SOCD priority mode.

The Arcade Controller has a compact form factor and is only 1.6cm thick. The control panel has a smudge-resistant, tempered glass faceplate, and the silicone mat on the bottom is designed to prevent movement while playing. Foldable magnetic feet can be flipped down to adjust the angle.

The Xbox version of the leverless 8BitDo Arcade Controller connects wirelessly to Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, or PC with the included 2.4GHz adapter, which can be stored in the magnetic compartment on the bottom of the fight pad. The USB-C charging cable can be used for wired mode.
