Back in April, Viture and 8BitDo revealed a unique version of the 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller designed for XR glasses. Until now, there was no word on how much it would cost or when it would be available. However, that has changed and you can now buy the controller.
Pricing and Availability
The Viture x 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller comes in just one color, which is a clear black. You can find it on Viture’s website and on Amazon for $79. This is $30 higher than the regular 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller, which is priced at $49.99 on Amazon and comes in both black and white.
Unique Features
This special edition of the controller has some differences from the standard model. Besides its distinct design, the Viture version connects using USB-C to your device, allowing for less latency compared to the Bluetooth connection of the original version.
Moreover, this controller features a USB-C port on the right handle where you can plug in Viture XR glasses for a more engaging gaming experience. Additionally, it has another USB-C port on the top for passthrough charging, capable of supporting up to 45W passthrough fast charging, according to the specifications.
Compatibility and Design
The Viture x 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller is designed to work exclusively with Android smartphones (Android 13+) and can accommodate devices ranging from 100mm to 170mm in length. However, only devices that support DisplayPort Alt mode through USB-C can connect with the Viture XR glasses.
Just like the regular 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller, this model is equipped with Hall Effect joysticks, responsive bumpers and D-pad, as well as customizable buttons on the back. It also includes a 6-axis gyro. In the package, you’ll find a USB-C to USB-C charging cable included.
