8Bitdo S Accessibility Minded Gamepad Moves All Buttons To The Front And Makes Them Easier To Push

The pad’s joysticks are more sensitive than a standard controller and the buttons offer less resistance so they are easier to press. The Lite SE works with Android, Raspberry Pi and Nintendo Switch, and features vibration, a motion sensor and a customizable turbo function. Its 480mAh Li-on rechargeable battery affords up to 18 hours of runtime with a 1-2 hour charging time. The gamepad measures 4.72 inches x 2.59 inches x 1.03 inches and weighs just 2.92 ounces. 8BitDo’s Lite SE isn’t as flexible as Microsoft’s Xbox Adaptive Controller or Logitech’s expansion kit, but it’s also nowhere near as expensive. Those retail for $99.99 apiece, whereas 8BitDo’s gamepad will set buyers back just $34.99. It’s not a one-size-fits-all solution either, but it is another option that will work for some and that’s why it matters. The 8BitDo Lite SE is available to pre-order from today and is scheduled to ship on July 15.
