The new Ultimate C 2.4G Wireless Controller is a $30 wireless accessory in purple or green color options. It\u2019s compatible with Windows, Android, Steam Deck and Raspberry Pi.<span class=\"mini-products\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>As its name suggests, the new gamepad connects wirelessly using an included 2.4GHz USB dongle. 8Bitdo describes it as a \u201csimplified\u201d version of the popular Ultimate series of controllers while \u201coffering the same ultimate quality.\u201d As for what \u201csimplified\u201d means, the company appears to have helped scale back production costs by skipping the charging dock (using cable charging instead) and the profile-toggling switch from the more expensive variants. It also doesn\u2019t support the company\u2019s Ultimate Software for customizations.<\/p>\n<p><span id=\"end-legacy-contents\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>8BitDo says the gamepad can last up to 25 hours of playtime and recharge fully in two hours. In addition, it supports asymmetrical rumble, although vibration feedback only works on Windows. The controller also works in wired mode and is plug-and-play on PC.<\/p>\n<p>The company <span class=\"waslinkname\">expanded into modern console-style controllers<\/span> last year after making its bones on nostalgic gamepads mimicking classic <span class=\"waslinkname\">NES<\/span> and <span class=\"waslinkname\">SNES<\/span> inputs. The Ultimate line\u2019s design is much closer to today\u2019s Xbox controllers, including asymmetric stick layouts. The more expensive 2.5GHz version is still available for $50, while the Bluetooth variant costs $70. You can pre-order the new model from Amazon ahead of its scheduled May 31st release date.<\/p>\n<div class=\"p-container Pstart(0)--md W(100%)--sm P(20px)--sm My(30px) My(20px)!--sm Pstart(24px)--md Py(24px) Py(16px)--lg Px(30px) H(138px) H(100%)!--xs Bxz(bb) Bdc(engadgetGutter) Fld(c) D(f) Jc(sa)\">\n<div class=\"Bgc(#fff) Bdrs(8px) Pos(r) D(f)\" id=\"amazon_B0C2V6JLNJ\"> <span class=\"waslinkname\"> <\/p>\n<div class=\"Pos(r) Mt(0) Mend(24px)\"> <img decoding=\"async\" class=\"Maw(maxc) W(100px)--sm H(78px)--sm\" src=\"https:\/\/wp.worldtechguide.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/05\/8bitdo-launches-a-30-version-of-its-ultimate-controller.jpg\" alt=\"8Bitdo Ultimate C 2.4g Wireless Controller for Windows PC, Android, Steam Deck &amp; Raspberry Pi\" height=\"90px\" width=\"100px\"> <\/div>\n<p> <\/span> <\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gamepad maker 8Bitdo unveiled a cheaper version of its beloved Ultimate Controller today.
