8BitDo’s first smartphone controller has Hall effect joysticks and triggers


Turn your Android phone into a handheld console.

The Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller can be attached to smartphones or smaller tablet devices measuring between 100mm and 170mm in length. For expanded compatibility, instead of plugging in with USB-C, 8BitDo’s new controller connects wirelessly over Bluetooth but only supports Android devices. Like GameSir’s G8 Plus smartphone controller, 8BitDo is using drift-resistant magnetic Hall effect sensors in its joysticks and triggers so players will potentially avoid experiencing unwanted movements or button presses while gaming.
