As of April 14, the 8BitDo Arcade Stick is down to just $75.99 at Amazon instead of its usual $89.99. That’s 16% in savings and the lowest price we’ve seen since January.
Our friends at PCMag (also owned by Ziff Davis) dubbed the Arcade Stick an Editors’ Choice for budget joysticks. They called it a “capable wireless controller that’s ideal for playing classic arcade games on the PC or Switch,” adding that it’s a great entry-level fight stick that offers room to grow.
While the Arcade Stick doesn’t actually pack high-grade arcade parts, the build quality is solid, the controls are responsive, and the joystick is “satisfyingly clicky.” Plus, it’s designed with modding in mind, so you can pop open the hood and replace the base parts with whatever you wish.

It can wirelessly connect to a Nintendo Switch or Windows PC through Bluetooth or a 2.4GHz USB receiver and offers between 30 and 40 hours of battery life depending on which you choose. Of course, you can also keep a wired connection if you want to minimize any input lag. Unfortunately, it’s not compatible with Android or any other gaming consoles. Still, for a more arcade-like experience from the comfort of your own home, check out the 8BitDo Arcade Stick while it’s on sale.
