Specifically, the retro-inspired, wireless All-Button Arcade Controller compatible with your Nintendo Switch and PC is down to a cool $70.68. That's a solid drop from its usual $90 price tag. And for the Xbox and PC crowd, the officially licensed version is going for $80, marked down from $100. Now, that Xbox deal is just for Prime members, heads up! But the Switch discount? That's open to everyone.

For some context, 8BitDo dropped these controllers back in July. They did have some deals during Black Friday, but this Switch version is actually at an all-time low – definitely worth considering if you've been on the fence. The Xbox version? It's matching its Black Friday price. Not bad at all.

But wait, there's more! If you're more of a traditional arcade stick kind of person, don't worry. 8BitDo's got you covered. Their Arcade Stick for Xbox and PC is also on sale for Prime members at $90 (normally $120). And the Bluetooth-enabled Switch and PC version? That's going for $83, down from $90.

Now, let's dive a little deeper into these all-button controllers. We're talking about twelve circular buttons handling everything from your D-pad movements to your face button attacks and trigger inputs. And for those who love a bit of flair, these buttons boast customizable RGB lighting rings, offering six different effects. You also get some extra bean-shaped buttons for those important extra functions, like right and left stick clicks, plus a couple of remappable buttons to really customize your setup.

The software side of things is handled by 8BitDo's Ultimate Software X for Xbox and PC. This lets you remap inputs, tweak those RGB lighting settings, and even adjust SOCD priority modes. The controller itself is pretty sleek, only 1.6cm thick, with a smudge-resistant, tempered glass faceplate. Plus, a silicone mat keeps it stable during intense matches, and foldable magnetic feet give you adjustable angles. I've personally always found their build quality to be really impressive for the price.

And finally, don’t forget about the slightly different Switch version. It sports that awesome retro red/black/gray NES color scheme. It supports Bluetooth on Switch, 2.4GHz Wireless on PC, and wired connectivity for both. You get around 20 hours of playtime on a full charge. And instead of those RSB/LSB buttons, you get two extra programmable buttons. Oh, and no lighting rings on the Switch version, just FYI.

So, there you have it. A solid opportunity to snag some high-quality arcade controllers for a steal. Happy gaming!
