8BitDo has announced three new versions of its Ultimate Wired Controller aimed at Nintendo Switch and PC gamers. The controllers match the designs of the previously released models for Xbox, which are very good indeed. 8BitDo is also including charging docks with the two wireless models of these controllers--a first for the heralded third-party controller manufacturer.

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.

You'll be able to pair it via a 2.4GHz adapter, set up custom profiles that can be changed instantly, and you'll find the pro paddle buttons on the rear. Fine-tuning the buttons and analog sticks is easy as well, as the 8BitDo software can be installed on PC and mobile devices when you want to change the setup of the controller.
