8BitDo’s all-button controller gets a screen upgrade for customizations without an app

The Verge·June 24, 2026

8BitDo has introduced an updated version of its all-button Arcade Controller, called the Arcade Controller Pro. The new controller features a thinner 16mm design, an additional programmable button, and a small screen for customizing settings without needing a separate app. The screen allows for button mapping and other adjustments to be made directly on the device, although the 8BitDo Ultimate Software V2 app is still supported. The Arcade Controller Pro maintains the original's leverless design, which replaces joysticks with buttons for improved precision and responsiveness.
