In November 2024, Nostalgia for the original Xbox: 8BitDo has unveiled a gaming keyboard and mouse in the style of Microsoft's first console in a green translucent design that was inspired by the first Xbox gaming console.
It was a logical step from 8BitDo to announce a similar controller.
Here's What We Know
The novelty is called Ultimate and is also made in the style of Xbox.
The gamepad connects to Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One and PC consoles, and is also compatible with iOS, iPadOS, Android, Apple tvOS, macOS and visionOS devices.
In terms of design, it's a standard Xbox controller, with the usual array of buttons, triggers and Hall-effect sticks. Connectivity is via Bluetooth, via a 2.4G USB transmitter, or directly with a USB-C cable.
