Minuscule Gaming Controllers

The 8Bitdo Zero Easily Fits on a Keychain

— July 12, 2017 — Tech
Mobile gaming is undoubtedly more casual than PC or console alternatives, but games are virtually guaranteed to inspire fierce competition no matter the conduit through which they're played, and the 8Bitdo Zero is a new peripheral to help the more driven competitors out there. The Bluetooth gaming controller is designed specifically for mobile devices, and it's small enough to go anywhere as part of users' everyday carry collection.

The 8Bitdo Zero is tiny. At about 5 centimeters long, 2.5 centimeters wide, and less than a centimeter thick, it's easily small enough to keep in one's pocket or to attach to a keychain. It connects to both iOS and Android devices via Bluetooth, and it can be used with any mobile game that supports controllers. Plus, with a battery that supports 20 hours of gameplay between charges, it won't add to one's list of nightly device charges.
Trend Themes
1. Mobile Gaming Controllers - The rise of minuscule gaming controllers for mobile devices presents an opportunity for companies to create innovative and compact peripherals for on-the-go gaming enthusiasts.
2. Bluetooth Connectivity - The increasing demand for Bluetooth connectivity in gaming peripherals creates opportunities for companies to develop wireless controllers that can seamlessly connect to multiple devices.
3. Portable Gaming Accessories - The popularity of small and portable gaming accessories like the 8Bitdo Zero indicates a market need for convenient and pocket-sized gaming tools.
Industry Implications
1. Gaming Accessories - The gaming accessories industry can capitalize on the trend towards smaller, portable controllers by designing and manufacturing innovative products that enhance the mobile gaming experience.
2. Consumer Electronics - The consumer electronics industry can tap into the demand for compact gaming peripherals by developing and marketing Bluetooth-enabled controllers that cater to the mobile gaming market.
3. Mobile App Development - The mobile app development industry has an opportunity to create and optimize games that are compatible with mini gaming controllers, providing users with a more immersive and enjoyable mobile gaming experience.
