Gamepad-Inspired Wireless Chargers

8BitDO Presents a New NES Gamepad Wireless Charger Design

— November 29, 2022 — Tech
8BitDO designs a new utility wireless charger that creates a nostalgic feel that references some retro gaming consoles. The new wireless charger creates a surface for smartphones to sit on the surface and the physical buttons on top present an instantly recognizable look of the Konami code from the 80s, replacing the control buttons for a full look.

In replacement are the classic black and grey hues along with bright red buttons to add a touch of contrast without compromising the wireless coil that rests under the pad. Additionally, it is able to charge devices at 15W speed and ensures that is not overloaded with details. The LED light only illuminates when the phone draws power from the gadget.
