8BitDo Introduces 64 Bluetooth Controller

[T0@st]

The 8BitDo 64 Bluetooth Controller revives the iconic N64 layout, but wrapped in an ergonomic, updated body. A precision hall-effect joystick with the original gate and signature concave rubber joystick cap. Say goodbye to the infamous loose joysticks. We're bringing back the signature C-buttons, A/B and Start—with the button sizes, positioning and feel just like the original.

Multiplayer on the N64 defined an era, and now with Analogue 3D and the 8BitDo 64 Controllers, that era is redefined. The 8BitDo 64 Controller, designed hand-in-hand with Analogue, creates an experience like no other when paired with Analogue 3D. It's a celebration of the N64, the greatest multiplayer system ever. It's Bluetooth-ready, with vibration support and platform compatibility with the new Analogue 3D, Switch, (including N64 Online) and more. Play N64 games like never before—with the best of both worlds in your hands. Available to pre-order at Amazon—MSRP $39.99.

This is excellent design but the STICK is the most interesting part.
A while back I figured out this part is a crisis among speed runners.
So what happens? Is it possible for them all to jump ship for this?

Does that analog stick have a metal neck or it just looks that way because of lighting? I like the looks and i'm sure the quality is great. The buttons look pretty flat, though. Hopefully they are little more convex in reality.

We'd have to see the internals to really see.. if your referring to speed runners who use GameCube controllers (I assume anyway, I'm not sure what your referring too). This has also been a crisis among SSB players (not that they could use these controllers in 99% of tournaments though)

I mean, I might snipe this controller purely for its stick. I LOVE the GameCubes stick, with its notched sort of design and everything. If I could, I'd mash a Dualshock 3 and Gamecube controller together to make a beautiful hybrid, I would.

Gamecube controller was the GOAT, I only wish it had two Z buttons so it could map to other consoles.

Those analog triggers were *chefs kiss*

8BitDo also sells Bluetooth receivers that work with retro consoles, so compatibility seems very appealing.

I use the 8BitDo Bluetooth receiver for my SNES and it works great.
