I wonder if this week use Bluetooth or a dongle?

[–] picandocodigo 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The Amazon listing says:

  • Bluetooth (for Android only), 2.4G wireless, or wired connectivity
  • Compatible with Windows and NEOGEO mini via 2.4G adapter/USB cable, and Android via Bluetooth

I don't understand why they didn't make it compatible with Switch and other consoles 8Bit-Do usually supports.

wonder why bluetooth only works for Android?

I thought the protocol was universal

They seem to offer a lot of their controllers in bluetooth or 2.4 ghz . It might be a licensing thing maybe a bluetooth variant will also be released.
