8BitDo’s Mini Xbox Controller: Small Hands, Big Fun
A Smaller, Lighter Xbox Controller Experience
By Andrew Liszewski
8BitDo’s new Mini Wired Xbox controller is smaller and lighter than its Ultimate C gamepad.
8BitDo offers a smaller, lighter version of its Ultimate C wired Xbox controller. Designed for kids and teens, it also suits gamers with smaller hands. Weighing less than the Xbox Series S and X controllers, it’s significantly lighter than the original Xbox “Duke” controller.
The joysticks and buttons are closer together, but the same size as on a standard Xbox controller.
The Ultimate Mini maintains the standard Xbox layout, but with components closer together. It features Hall effect joysticks and triggers, and smaller shoulder buttons. Translucent shells (white, pink, or green) highlight a ring of LEDs around each joystick, offering interactive lighting modes.
