[PC Gamer} This new arcade controller from 8BitDo could be your next tournament travel buddy

[NewsBOT]

8BitDo might have you covered there too.To go with the portability it also supports 2.4 wireless, as well as Bluetooth, and wired connections. The wireless works with a USB receiver that magnets to the main unit, which is something I always look for in wireless devices. There's nothing worse than losing these tiny little dongles just because no one thought to include a place to put them on the main piece of tech.The buttons are another notable feature on the arcade controllers. Casting your memory back to the old days you probably conjure up a stick for your movement controls. But the fact is for a lot of competitive players, sticks are out and buttons are in. This is because sticks are less accurate and more likely to have input errors. They may feel or seem more natural or intuitive, but they present a false sense of analogue play when in reality they only convert their motion into button-like actions anyway.The difference between stick and button gameplay has been so severe that many wanted to ban all button input for tournaments, saying it gives an unfair advantage. Of course lots of players still prefer sticks and do amazing work with them, so preference also definitely comes into play.If this all sounds like too much fighting game jargon, then something like the 8BitDo Ultimate with TMR triggers and hall effect sticks might be more your scene. This is modelled of a Switch Pro controller, and is a lot more of the standard affair.If you're into buttons, and also this controller it's set to go on sale mid August. The standard version, aka the one for Switch and PC is expected to retail for €89.99 / £74.99 and the officially licensed Xbox version for €99.99 / £84.99. While it's slated to release in North America, there's no word on US pricing just yet, so we could be waiting to see what Trump's Tariffs have in store for this device's MSRP.
