The new 8BitDo Ultimate controller will be released in October

There are three variants for Switch, PC and mobile
8Bitdo has unveiled new versions of its 8BitDo Ultimate Controller, a Nintendo Switch Pro-esque gamepad, which are set to release on October 28th.
The Bluetooth and wired models have the most utility, as the can be connected to a Switch, PC or Android/iOS device. The 2.4 Ghz-exclusive controller, meanwhile, can be used with all of those platforms besides the Switch.
This wireless controller is compatible with Switch via Bluetooth and PC using a 2.4GHz adapter and includes the charging dock. You’ll be able to fine-tune almost every input on it using 8BitDo’s setup software on PC, iOS, and Android, allowing you to switch between three custom profiles on the fly. For extra inputs, you can find two back paddle buttons that can also be customized. The controller is available to preorder in white and black models at Amazon.
All three controllers will be available in black, white and pink and come with their own charging dock. Additionally, they’ll allow you to remap your controls on PC, Android and iOS and save them to three unique profiles that will be saved on the controllers themselves.
8BitDo’s Ultimate Controller will be available in three different configurations — Bluetooth ($69.99), 2.4Ghz ($49.99), or wired ($34.99) — based on your preferred console and connectivity method.
