    Nearly everything on 8BitDo’s hefty $100 gamepad is made of metal

    Nearly everything on 8BitDo’s hefty 0 gamepad is made of metal

    8BitDo’s shiny silver- and gold-finished 11th anniversary SN30 Pro gamepads feature housings and controls made of so much metal that they weigh in at 381 grams — almost an entire pound.

    As spotted by Polygon, the company went nearly all in on the metal facelift for its SN30 Pro gamepad, with the D-pad, action buttons, shoulder triggers, and even joysticks all made of a metal “zinc-alloy material.”

    The D-pad, ABXY buttons, joysticks, and triggers are all metal on 8BitDo’s shiny new controllers.

    This controller won’t just feel satisfyingly hefty in hand for its size (the beefy Xbox Duke controller weighed 425 grams while the original SNES gamepad was just 79 grams) but it also may be durable enough to outlive your other gaming hardware — and possibly even you.

    But for $99.99, the limited-edition gamepad is lacking some modern features. There’s no mention of including Hall effect joysticks like the $39.99 plastic version of the SN30 Pro, there’s no wireless connectivity, and compatibility is limited to only the Nintendo Switch and Windows PCs. The colors should pair well with the new “Hyrule Edition” Switch Lite, but you can get so much more for much less.
