Get the 8BitDo Arcade Stick for just $74.99 at Woot
If you act quickly, you can currently buy the 8BitDo Arcade Stick for Xbox Series X from Woot for $74.99, the best price yet for the $119.99 controller. This massive gamepad is a must for fighting game fans, so whether you've picked them up recently Street fighter 6 or Mortal Kombat 1or you are looking forward to the launch of Tekken 8 this February is the perfect time to pick up your new favorite weapon.
The 8BitDo Arcade Stick is compatible with Xbox Series X, Xbox One and Windows PC. It can be paired with devices that use a wired USB connection or a 2.4 GHz wireless dongle, and can run for up to 30 hours on a single charge. The front of the controller features 10 generous, remappable buttons, in addition to a lollipop joystick that can switch between an eight-way or omnidirectional input.
Although the joystick itself is mounted to the left of the buttons by default, a handy switch on the top of the unit allows you to quickly switch between left- or right-handed inputs. Each button on the 8BitDo Arcade Stick can technically be remapped on the fly, but you can also preset and save profiles via the 8BitDo app.
8BitDo does not necessarily encourage out-of-the-box modification of your controller. However, the Arcade Stick is compatible with a wide range of aftermarket components and can be easily disassembled, as the chassis is held together by just six screws.
