8BitDo Ultimate C 2.4G Wireless Controller

An affordable and modern gamepad that combines the classic layout of Microsoft gamepads and a color palette that is atypical for similar products. Instead of the usual black or white, the manufacturer chose pastel colors, including mint and lilac shades. The shape of the gamepad, materials, stick design and controls are almost exactly the same as Microsoft's proprietary controller, which has remained virtually unchanged since the Xbox 360.

There are 2 analog sticks asymmetrically located under both fingers, a 4-position crosspad is located directly under the left finger, and under the thumbs on the right hand there are ABXY control buttons, and triggers are hidden at the ends under the index and middle fingers. The device supports D-input and X-input modes, allowing it to be used with various devices without the need for additional configuration.

Despite its Microsoft-style design, the 8BitDo Ultimate C 2.4G Wireless Controller does not have official support for the Xbox series consoles; it can only be connected to Windows-based PCs and laptops and mobile devices running Android OS. Among the unusual things worth noting is the support for the SteamDeck mobile console and the Raspberry Pi platform. To connect, use a USB cable or a compact wireless radio with a range of about 10 meters. When connected over the air, the manipulator is powered by a built-in 480 mAh battery, which provides about 25 hours of continuous play.
