We've got another new Xbox controller from 8BitDo coming to market! This is known as the "8BitDo M30 Wired Controller", and it's officially licensed by Microsoft. Pre-orders begin today with a release date of December 22nd, 2023.
As you can see, it quite closely resembles the six-button variants of the old SEGA Mega Drive / SEGA Genesis controllers, and 8BitDo says the M30 is particularly built for "fighting games and other classics".
In fact, this is being marketed as "the great six-button controller ever made", so there's a lot of confidence going into it! The controller features a USB-C wired connection that's "virtually lag-free", along with a dedicated profile switch button that allows you to switch between three different profiles - plus support for the 8BitDo Ultimate Software.
- Officially licensed by Xbox. Compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows.

- USB-C wired connection, virtually lag-free. Perfect for fighting games and other classics.
