8BitDo (China) - Press Release: 8BitDo Ultimate Controller - F40 Limited Edition.

To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the iconic FC console, we present the 8BitDo Ultimate Controller - F40 Limited Edition. With its design mirroring FC’s unique colors and golden metal hall effect joysticks, this limited edition piece offers a nostalgic trip back to the golden era of gaming. Compatible with Switch and Windows 10/11. Limited to 1983 units worldwide.

Attention to Every Detail:

Every design aspect of the F40 is a testament to our love for gaming. Embellished with classic Roman numerals “I” and “II”, golden joysticks, and dark gold button characters, each detail contributes to a vivid and captivating gaming encounter.

Inspired by the FC Console:

The F40 draws inspiration from both FC and 8BitDo Ultimate Controller’s unique “controller with dock” design. We have seamlessly blended elements from the classic FC controller and cartridges into our design, forging a one-of-a-kind homage to FC on its 40th anniversary.

Supports Switch Motion Wake:

In addition to supporting Switch's six-axis motion sensing and vibration features, the F40 takes user convenience a step further. With a simple, gentle shake, wake up your previously paired Switch console and jump right into the action.

Supports Windows 10/11:

Experience simplicity at its best with the F40. It's plug-and-play compatible with Windows 10/11, ensuring a seamless and intuitive gaming experience. No drivers are required - just connect, play, and immerse yourself in your favorite games.

Pro Level Back Buttons:

The pro level back buttons are designed to save both effort and time during intense gameplay. They allow your thumb to easily switch between actions such as sprinting, crouching, and weapon switching, ensuring smooth and efficient game progression.

Exclusive Dock for Storage and Signal Extension:

The F40 controller’s dock doesn't just house a surprise cassette-yellow adapter, it also offers a signal-extending feature. This ensures a robust, uninterrupted connectivity for your gaming ventures, thus offering an unrivaled gaming journey.

Golden Metal Hall Effect Joystick:

The F40's joystick is constructed from a zinc alloy and coated with gold-colored plating. While this choice may reduce recentering accuracy, it significantly enhances the tactile experience, offering a more engaging and enjoyable gaming experience.

A Limited Edition Set:

The F40 package isn't just about the controller. It also includes a simple yet exquisitely crafted 5-piece gift set, featuring a limited-edition keychain and four joystick caps. It's a gaming package that you will adore.
