8BitDo all-button arcade controllers hit all-time low prices

Amazon is offering significant discounts on 8BitDo's All-Button Wireless Arcade Controllers for Xbox, PC, Nintendo Switch, and Switch 2. The leverless fight pads, launched last July, are now available at their lowest prices ever. Traditional arcade sticks from the brand are also on sale for compatible platforms.

The 8BitDo All-Button Wireless Arcade Controller for Xbox and PC is priced at $80, down from $100, marking an all-time low exclusive to Amazon Prime members. The version for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, and PC costs $70.68, reduced from $90 and available to all shoppers. These deals surpass previous discounts, including those from Black Friday, where the Switch edition was priced higher.

Launched in July 2025, the controllers feature a leverless design with 12 circular buttons for D-pad, face buttons, and bumpers, plus four bean-shaped buttons for stick clicks and remappable functions. They use low-profile Kailh Wizard mechanical switches in a hot-swappable setup, allowing easy customization and cleaning. The Xbox model includes RGB lighting rings with six effects, a 3.5mm audio jack, and compatibility with Ultimate Software X for remapping and lighting adjustments. It offers up to 40 hours of battery life without RGB and headset use, or 20 hours with them active, and connects via 2.4GHz wireless or USB-C wired.

The Switch edition adopts a retro NES color scheme with eight red circular buttons and four black directional inputs. It supports Bluetooth for consoles and 2.4GHz for PC, with a toggle dial that switches button labels between Switch and Xbox layouts. Lacking RGB and audio jack, it provides 20 hours of playtime and uses Ultimate Software V2 for macros and SOCD modes. Both versions have a compact 1.6cm-thick build with tempered glass faceplate, anti-slip silicone base, and adjustable magnetic feet.

For those preferring traditional sticks, the 8BitDo Arcade Stick for Switch and PC is $83 (from $90), while the white Xbox/PC model is $90 (from $120) for Prime members. An upcoming Signature Edition for Switch and PC, in transparent purple and designed with fighting game pros Zhen and Vxbao, is available for preorder at $95, set for January 31 release. Switch 2 users may require firmware updates for wireless connectivity.
