First deals now live on 8BitDo’s sleek Switch 2-compatible all-button arcade controller from $81

New low/From $81

We just spotted a deal at Amazon that drops 8BitDo’s latest all-button low-profile arcade controller down to $80.99 shipped. Don’t forget to clip the on-page coupon to see the discounted price during checkout. It hit the scene earlier this year in May carrying a $90 price tag and has held steady at that price ever since. Today’s deal finally changes that, taking 10% off and dropping it by $9. While it’s not a massive drop, it’s notable as the first offer we’ve tracked and makes it a little easier on your wallet. The officially-licensed Xbox variant of this model is also seeing its first discount at $89.99 shipped, down from its usual price of $100. Head below for more details.

Some of my favorite gear

Unlike the original arcade controller that’s been around for a while, this relatively new model has an all-button layout with as many as 16 keys, including four programmable ones with fast mapping. It also has a low-profile design to maintain a slim form factor, and it comes fitted with matching mechanical switches over a hot-swappable PCB. The standard variant of this controller is compatible with Nintendo Switch 2 and Windows, whereas the officially licensed all-black model works with Xbox consoles and PC. Some other noteworthy features of this arcade controller include SOCD cleaning and tournament lock, tri-mode connectivity, a compact form-factor, and more.

8BitDo’s latest Pro 3 wireless controller is also seeing a 10% discount right now, down at $63. This new model comes with ball-top joysticks, and it’s down from its usual price of $70.
