Hex never really talks about disability, tbh. This looks like a neat little thing that might be helpful to some people.

    8BitDo puts out decent controllers. I’m glad they’re broadening their target audience.

      Good to hear they're high quality! At first glance it looks a little bit like something you'd see packaged with a clearance rack emulator full of NES game knockoffs.

        They’re considered to be some of the best around for Nintendo games. Good remappability and compatibility. Relatively faithful recreations of original gamepads.

          And they have that old-school plastic that's hard, brittle, and smooth all at once like the old Snes and PS1 controllers.

        Their history is making solid versions of older game pads and that kind of influences their new stuff.

        first time I saw them was at fry’s several years ago and they just had usb versions of old nes, famicom, and snes controllers but they were pretty heavy and well made.
