8BitDo\u2019s shiny silver- and gold-finished 11th anniversary SN30 Pro gamepads<\/a> feature housings and controls made of so much metal that they weigh in at 381 grams \u2014 almost an entire pound.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n As spotted by Polygon<\/em><\/a>, the company went nearly all in on the metal facelift for its SN30 Pro gamepad<\/a>, with the D-pad, action buttons, shoulder triggers, and even joysticks all made of a metal \u201czinc-alloy material.\u201d <\/p>\n<\/div>\n This controller won\u2019t just feel satisfyingly hefty in hand for its size (the beefy Xbox Duke controller weighed 425 grams while the original SNES gamepad was just 79 grams) but it also may be durable enough to outlive your other gaming hardware \u2014 and possibly even you.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n But for $99.99<\/a>, the limited-edition gamepad is lacking some modern features. There\u2019s no mention of including Hall effect joysticks like the $39.99 plastic version of the SN30 Pro, there\u2019s no wireless connectivity, and compatibility is limited to only the Nintendo Switch and Windows PCs. The colors should pair well with the new \u201cHyrule Edition\u201d Switch Lite<\/a>, but you can get so much more for much less<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
