8BitDo Arcade Controller Pro Pre-Orders Open at $119.99
The leverless controller ships November 30 with a 1.47-inch display, a 3,000mAh battery and magnetic wrist rest, 8BitDo says.
8BitDo has opened pre-orders for its Arcade Controller Pro at $119.99, with shipping set to begin on November 30, according to Engadget. The controller is the company's second leverless model.
The Arcade Controller Pro uses smaller buttons with tighter spacing than the original Arcade Controller, and adds more programmable buttons for custom mappings. A 1.47-inch display on the unit handles input monitoring, button mapping and RGB lighting changes.
A wrist rest attaches magnetically to the bottom of the controller and conceals five extra button caps. Power comes from a 3,000mAh battery that 8BitDo says recharges fully in four hours.
The controller is offered in two color options, N Edition and White. 8BitDo first revealed the device earlier in 2026 and detailed some of its specifications at its June launch.
Positioning against the original
The standard 8BitDo Arcade Controller starts at $89.99, $30 less than the Pro model's pre-order price.
