There’s also a start button, D-pad, and Z shoulder buttons, as well as a few additional buttons. While the joystick and buttons are all engineered to be more durable and sturdy, they still match the size and shape of the original controller’s inputs.
The 8BitDo 64 Controller supports Bluetooth wireless and wired USB-C connections. It’s compatible with Analogue 3D, Nintendo Switch, PC, and Android. It’s available to preorder in white or black.
