8BitDo – Arcade Stick

Classic Arcade Controls, Modern Connectivity

Bring the arcade experience home with the 8BitDo Arcade Stick, a full-size arcade controller designed for retro gaming, fighting games and classic arcade titles.

Inspired by traditional arcade hardware, the 8BitDo Arcade Stick combines a proper joystick and large arcade-style buttons with modern features including Bluetooth, 2.4GHz wireless and wired USB-C connectivity. Whether you’re playing Street Fighter, Metal Slug, beat ’em ups, shoot ’em ups or running through your favourite retro arcade collection, it gives you that classic stick-and-button experience without being tied to a cabinet.

Designed for Nintendo Switch, Switch 2 and Windows PC, switching between Switch and PC modes also changes the stick’s dynamic button layout to match the selected system.

Three Ways to Play

Connect the way that suits your setup:

• Bluetooth – great for a clean wireless setup
• 2.4GHz Wireless – using the included dedicated USB receiver
• Wired USB-C – for a direct wired connection

The included 2.4GHz receiver even has its own hidden storage compartment inside the Arcade Stick, so you’re less likely to lose it when it’s not being used.

Customisable with 8BitDo Ultimate Software

The Arcade Stick supports 8BitDo Ultimate Software, allowing you to customise button mapping, create controller profiles and program macros.

Two dedicated P1 and P2 macro buttons can be programmed with longer button sequences, while Turbo and control-stick switching provide even more flexibility depending on the game you’re playing.

Built for Arcade Fans – and Modders

One of the cool things about this stick is that it isn’t necessarily the end of the road once you buy it. 8BitDo designed the Arcade Stick to be mod-friendly, and its universal mounting plate supports Sanwa arcade sticks, making it a good starting point for anyone who eventually wants to customise their arcade setup

INCLUDED 2.4GHz WIRELESS RECEIVER
The 2.4GHz USB wireless receiver is included with the Arcade Stick and stores neatly inside the stick’s dedicated hidden receiver compartment when not in use.
