Following the release of a wired edition designed for Xbox consoles, 8BitDo has today revealed their new line of Ultimate Edition controllers for Switch PC, and pre-orders are open today.<\/p>\n

The controller, which looks very much like a blend of the Switch Pro Controller and the standard Xbox pad, will come in three different models \u2014 Bluetooth, 2.4g, and Wired USB \u2014 with only Bluetooth and Wired compatible with the Switch. The first two options come with a wireless charging dock, and all three versions will be available in white or black. The non-switch-compatible 2.4g variant also comes in a rather lovely soft pink colour \u2014 we want that for our Switch!<\/p>\n

Some of the standout features on the Bluetooth edition include two Pro back paddle buttons which can be programmed to your liking and a custom profile switch button with the possibility to add up to three different set-ups for fast button command changes. The wired option offers the same features as well as trigger vibration and an enhanced grip.<\/p>\n

You can pre-order all three new models \u2014 Bluetooth<\/a>, Wired<\/a>, and 2.4g<\/a> \u2014 of the controllers now from Amazon in the US. They’re currently due to be released on October 28th.<\/p>\n

For a full rundown of all three controllers’ features, check out the details from 8BitDo below. We’ve put the two Switch-compatible versions first:<\/p>\n
