Built for serious fighters. Full control for every match.
A compact all-button arcade controller with on-device settings,
deep customization, and long-session comfort.
The Arcade Controller Pro is built for competitive fighting games. As the presenting sponsor of Street Fighter League Americas and Street Fighter League EMEAA 2026, 8BitDo proudly supports the community that brings every match to life.
Compared to Arcade Controller , Arcade Controller Pro features smaller buttons and tighter spacing, creating a more compact layout that keeps every input within natural reach. Comfortable and easy to control through long play sessions.
Fast-map P1-P5 directly on the controller. The added P5 button expands your control options while leaving more room for natural left-hand movement.
View inputs, check battery status, and adjust essential settings directly on the built-in display. Clear, immediate, and always within reach.
The magnetic wrist rest supports a more natural hand position on a desk or on your lap. It attaches securely when you need it and removes easily when you want a more compact setup.
Essential controls, separated from the action buttons. Switch connection modes, adjust volume and display settings, or activate Tournament Lock with the turn-and-click dial.
Press the release button on the back to lift the tempered glass faceplate and access the internal components with additional switches.
Adjust every aspect of your controller with the included parts — 3 spare switches and a switch puller inside the panel, plus 5 replaceable lock caps in the magnetic wrist rest. Fully swap, configure, and tailor your arcade experience.
Replace any P1-P5 button cap with a flat lock cap to prevent accidental presses. Five lock caps are included and stored inside the magnetic wrist rest.
Instantly switch between Switch and PC button layouts, with illuminated button labels that change to match.
Install each round button cap from any orientation. Quick to fit, easy to replace, and held firmly beneath the tempered glass faceplate.
Capture screenshots instantly on Switch with a dedicated function button.
Equipped with hot-swappable 8BitDo Core Green low-profile linear mechanical switches, co-developed with Kailh for fast actuation, quiet operation, and a smooth feel.
Three spare switches and a switch puller are stored inside the controller.
The metal locking mechanism keeps the USB-C cable firmly in place, ensuring it stays secure during fast inputs, sudden movements, and high-pressure matches. Connect the cable from the top or side for charging and wired play—choose the route that fits your setup, reduces cable clutter, and gives you more space around your hands.
