8BitDo have revealed new controllers to accompany the Switch Lite:

​

You may have noticed from the screens, that 8BitDo have decided to add 2 d-pads instead of any analogue sticks, to keep the controllers as portable as possible.

​

The 8BitDo Lite releases October 30th and will cost around $25.

Seems pretty nice tbh. I like the portable size. But the missing analogue sticks aren't acceptable for me.

Looks very nice, but no analog sticks? Couldn't they have used analog sliders, if they wanted to make it sleek?

Looks like it's designed for me - I hate analog controls

 

[Zense]

Dpad on the left side, OK. Dpad on the right side...

Well, that's weird. But hey, even better for you.

Seems ideal for the new Zelda with its D-Padesque control scheme. Weird for sure, but cool nonetheless.

dpads instead of analogs? That's skinda weird. They should use nubs like 3ds/psp I think

I don't get it.
D-pad instead of stick then buttons instead of D-pad. Looks like the worst idea ever to me. Nothing is what devs have programmed games for.
Looks cute though.

3DS Circle Pads would've been perfect imo.

I hope they didn't ask the factory to make a ton of these - this is gonna be a flop for sure

Who let the interns design a new controller?

I don't get it. Doesn't it not even have a kick stand?

You have to make one yourself, get a pile of books.

Nice! Will probs grab a couple for my littles to use.. Saves my expensive joycons

Because nobody in the history of ever has ever made a book stand, scroll stand, plate stand or merely lent something up against another object?

 

[Frankbel]

As good as rubbish.
