8BitDo embraces the translucent green controller trend.

Following Hyperkin announcing a translucent green controller at CES 2025 based on the Halo-themed Xbox Microsoft introduced in 2004, and Backbone releasing a green Xbox-branded Backbone One last week, 8BitDo almost feels late to the party with its new $69.99 Ultimate 3-mode Controller for Xbox.

The controller features Hall effect sticks and triggers plus Bluetooth connectivity, but can only connect to the Xbox Series X|S and Xbox One consoles using a USB-C cable.

<em>The controller’s glowing Xbox logo shines through its translucent jade-colored housing.</em>
<em>It features Hall effect sticks and triggers, can be reconfigured using the 8BitDo Ultimate Software X, and includes a charging dock.</em>
<em>The controller can connect to Windows PCs using a 2.4GHz dongle or iOS and Android devices over Bluetooth. But only connects to Xbox consoles using a USB-C cable.</em>
