\"8BitDo<\/a><\/figure>\n

Peripheral maker 8BitDo<\/a> has been producing amazing<\/em> controllers for quite some time now, and has never made any secret of the fact that it borrows heavily from Nintendo’s school of hardware design. In fact, many of its pads \u2013 including the SN30<\/a> and NES30<\/a> \u2013 are based on Nintendo controllers, a fact that has made them beloved of Switch fans, as they can be used with that console, too.<\/p>\n

8BitDo has now lifted the lid on its officially-licenced xCloud wireless pad<\/a>, which is intended for use with Microsoft’s cloud-based gaming platform, currently known as Project xCloud. The pad works via Bluetooth with Android phones and tablets, and offers 18 hours of battery life, as well as button mapping and stick and trigger sensitivity. A clip allows you to use it with your phone. 8BitDo is also offering a smartphone clip that works with the Xbox One or Elite controller.<\/p>\n
