The Future is All Buttons | 8Bitdo Arcade Controller Review

Leverless controllers are starting to show up everywhere — but 8BitDo’s take on the all-button arcade controller might be the most accessible one yet. In this video, I take a look at the 8BitDo All-Button Arcade Controller for Xbox and PC — a stickless (no joystick) design built for fighting games, retro titles, and players who want a new kind of control layout. Whether you’re new to leverless controllers or just looking for a solid alternative to premium options like the Hitbox or Kitsune, this one stands out for its design, price point, and customization options. 🕹️ Compatible with: Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows ❌ Not compatible with: Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5 (without an adapter) 💰 Price range: ~$90–$100 USD 00:00 - Intro 00:05 - First Impressions 01:00 - RGB Lighting 01:38 - Wireless vs Wired 02:02 - Build Quality 02:12 - Tempered Glass 02:38 - Antislip Mat 02:52 - 3.5mm Input Jack 03:07 - Button Sizes 03:40 - Mechanical Button Switches 04:12 - Button Sound Test 04:41 - Controller Features 05:09 - Different Profiles 05:32 - Onboard Button Remapping 06:08 - Custom Profile Fastmapping Doesn't Work 06:32 - How to Check Mappings on the Controller 07:14 - Steam Input Tester to check mappings 07:49 - Recommended way to remap button 08:18 - Dragon Blaze Demo 08:49 - Dragon Ball Fighterz Demo 09:25 - Pros 11:09 - Cons 12:11 - Who is this for? 13:14 - Would I Recommend It? 13:42 - Outro
