Mobile gaming just got a serious upgrade with the new Viture x 8BitDo Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller. Designed specifically for use with Viture Pro XR glasses, this innovative controller transforms your Android smartphone into a powerful handheld gaming system reminiscent of devices like the Steam Deck or Nintendo Switch. What sets it apart is its USB-C 3.0 connection, which eliminates lag while gaming, a common issue with Bluetooth controllers.
The $79 controller features a built-in USB port for connecting Viture XR and Pro XR glasses, ensuring seamless gameplay without latency. Currently available exclusively for Android devices, an iOS-compatible version is expected to launch soon. For those looking for a complete package, Viture offers a bundle including both the Pro XR glasses and the controller for $468.
8BitDo’s original Ultimate Mobile Controller, which relies on Bluetooth connectivity, remains an option for gamers who prioritize versatility over ultra-low latency. Priced at $50, it shares the same design and functionality as the new model but lacks the direct USB-C connection. Available in black and white, this version is also limited to Android devices.
Whether you’re diving into XR experiences or traditional mobile games, these controllers provide a premium solution for on-the-go gaming. The choice between models ultimately comes down to whether you value lag-free performance or the convenience of wireless connectivity.
