    8BitDo’s $100 metal gamepad is now available in space gray.

    Last year, 8BitDo celebrated its 11th anniversary with a pair of hefty silver and gold versions of its SN30 Pro wireless controller made from 381 grams of a zinc-alloy material.

    They’ve long since sold out, but for its 12th anniversary 8BitDo is releasing an additional version in a new space gray color option. It’s compatible with the Switch 2 and Windows PCs and priced the same as the gold and silver versions at $99.99.

    <em>The new space gray version of 8BitDo’s metal SN30 Pro is slightly subtler than the gold and silver versions.</em>

    The Xbox Edition of 8BitDo’s smartphone controller supports the iPhone.

    The original version of 8BitDo’s clamp-on smartphone controller featuring Hall effect sticks and a rechargeable battery since it connects to devices over Bluetooth is only compatible with Android.

    The functionality and price of its new $49.99 Ultimate Mobile Gaming Controller Xbox Edition is the same as the original, but it now features Xbox branding, a dedicated Xbox button, and (finally!) support for both Apple and Android Devices.
