8BitDo is a very popular gaming controller maker. They have just unveiled their updated Xbox Wireless Arcade Stick. The stick is available for preorder now on Amazon in both Black and White and retails for $120.
The Xbox Wireless Arcade Stick features eight buttons next to the joystick, which would be perfect for a fighting game such as Street Fighter 6 on the Xbox. The controller is the very first Xbox-licensed arcade stick available worldwide. It will allow for wireless gaming on the Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One and on Windows PCs. It comes with a 2.4G wireless adapter and works wired as well. Players will be able to have fast-mapping and profile buttons as well as a 3.5mm audio jack and volume control right on the stick. In order to custominze the controller, you will be able to do this all in 8BitDo Ultimate Software.
The cool thing based on what we are seeing is that the controller is modable. 8BitDo says that you can swap out the arcade buttons as you like and the universal joystick mounting plate supports virtually every arcade stick ever made.
Fully charged, they say that the Xbox Wireless Arcade Stick gives you 30 hours of playtime. I must say that if you have a PC running arcade emulation, this could be a stick for you. I know a lot of people are into modding the Arcade 1up machines but if you hook up your system to a TV, grab one of these it could be a nice W for you. Some other key features of the controller are:
- Wireless 2.4g
- Wired USB-C
- Joystick mode and Gamepad mode
- Cable is 9.84ft/3m
- Battery is 1000 mAh Li-on
- 30 hours of play without headphones or 20 hours with headphones plugged in
