For many, a place for games is something special, individual. We try to create better vibes with the help of surrounding objects or even furniture. I agree, the same applies to workplaces, and those who work in monotonous offices always try to emphasize the maximum individuality of their workplace with the help of figurines of their favorite characters, photos of loved ones, or peripherals. But let's return to the game space. The gaming industry obeys the rules dictated by leaders such as Microsoft or Sony. Unfortunately, the option to select consoles in our favorite colors or personalized designs remains unavailable, except for occasional themed promotional releases. Thanks to our desire for individuality, the customization market is developing, with the help of removable panels or various stickers.

The case is slightly different with game controllers from third-party manufacturers, especially for Xbox & PCs (apologies, PlayStation fans, but this statement holds) which can develop in different paths, I do not mean only the technological, but mostly the path of individual design. That's why it's always interesting to look at things that are separate by their design, and in the case of 8BitDo, have the best-in-class build quality.

All buttons on the Ultimate C wired controller

The recently announced 8Bitdo Ultimate C Wired Controller is an officially licensed Xbox product and it continues the series of low-cost Ultimate C Wired but with some new tech features, including RGB lightning. The device is a Microsoft-compatible device that can work with the Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and Windows and it brings a sophisticated look to the gameplay. This controller solves a switch bumpers and D-pad problem, as well as throws Hall Effect joysticks for better control and sensitivity. It can be used with the 3.5mm audio jack and has been enriched by an improvement in the gripping of high-definition vibration feedback for a deep immersion into gameplay.

This controller's Fire Ring lighting is one of the most impressive features. It can be set to different RGB modes such as Fire Ring Mode, Light-tracing Mode, and Rainbow Ring Mode, or just turned off altogether, which makes it possible to set up any gaming station the way you want.
