8BitDo Lite 2

Ultra-compact controller, designed primarily for those who frequently play away from home and appreciate the ability to toss the gamepad into a pocket or small bag. Weighing just 83g and with dimensions of 120×66×35mm, it is noticeably lighter and smaller than most competitors — for comparison, a standard Nintendo Switch Pro controller weighs three times as much. Despite its small size, it offers a full set of controls: two analog sticks with asymmetric arrangement, a 4-way D-pad, 12 buttons, a pair of bumpers, and two triggers.

Initially conceived as a controller for 2D games and platformers, the presence of sticks and a gyroscope expands its usage scope — motion control, however, only works with the Nintendo Switch. The 8BitDo Lite 2 gamepad connects via Bluetooth with a range of up to 10 meters or via cable through USB-C. The list of compatible platforms includes Android and Nintendo Switch. The battery provides up to 18 hours of autonomous operation with a charging time of about one to two hours — a ratio that allows you to forget about cables for several days of moderate use. Feedback is implemented through vibration motors, featuring a customizable Turbo function.
