Apple users can now rejoice as 8BitDo gamepads are officially compatible with iPhones, iPads, and Macs. This development follows firmware upgrades and Apple’s latest updates on iOS 16.3, iPadOS 16.3, tvOS 16.3, and macOS 13.2. The Lite SE, Pro, Pro 2, SN30 Pro+, SN30 Pro for Android, and Ultimate Controller 2.4g are the models currently supported, with more soon to be added to the lineup.
These exceptional mobile gaming controllers from 8BitDo are among our top choices due to their impressive ergonomics, extensive customization options, and nostalgic charm. Transitioning between Apple devices and other platforms, such as consoles and PCs, is a breeze, making these controllers ideal for gaming on the go or avoiding touchscreens.
Although the market boasts other strong mobile controller options, such as SteelSeries’ Nimbus and Stratus models for Xbox-style enthusiasts and Razer Kishi for a makeshift Switch or Steam Deck experience, the compatibility of 8BitDo controllers with Apple devices is a welcome addition, especially for those who appreciate 8BitDo’s unique offerings.
