The asymmetric stick layout controller comes is styled after the Xbox Series X/S controller so it comes with familiar features like a 3.5mm audio jack and share button. Additional features include remappable buttons using 8BitDo’s Ultimate Software, two back paddle buttons, and haptic feedback.

A feature the Xbox controller won’t include that may be a big drawback for game players is the lack of Bluetooth or 2.4GHz connectivity as it is a wired controller. As for how long the wire is, the controller will come with a 9.84 feet long USB cable, so if you’re wanting the controller for the features and you play pretty close then 8BitDo’s wired Xbox controller may be for you.

This isn’t 8BitDo’s first rodeo making a peripheral for Xbox as they’ve also released a media remote for Xbox Series X/S and a mobile controller designed for Xbox Cloud Gaming. Unlike the past Xbox controller, the ultimate wired controller looks more like a faithful recreation of Xbox’s famous design.
