Welcome back to the Pro Controller Weekly Roundup, Vol.14. A busy week across Xbox, Nintendo, Sony, Beitong, GameSir, 8BitDo, and Black Shark. Let's get into it.

Missed last week? Catch up on Vol.13: The 8K-ification of Everything.

The Xbox Nano, for Small Hands and Small Bags

Xbox has introduced the Xbox Nano, a pocketable controller built around a compact layout for smaller hands — with two small side grips bolted on to keep it comfortable to actually hold. Full specs aren't published yet; educated guessing points to membrane buttons and potentiometer sticks at this size, and the battery moves to a built-in rechargeable lithium pack — though the charging cable is, oddly, sold separately. Make of that what you will.

Rumble is a question mark: fitting full-size motors in a shell this small seems unrealistic, so the best case is coin-style motors, and there's a real chance of no vibration at all. Pre-orders are live at $49.99.

Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Bundle — and That Pro Controller

Nintendo finally showed the Zelda 40th Anniversary limited edition hardware in the flesh, and it looks excellent. The Switch 2 console is up for pre-order at $519.99, but the star for this newsletter is the matching Switch 2 Pro Controller ($99.99): same design language as the console, with a paint finish that throws off a distinct metallic sheen under light, plus mirrored accents on the back. One of the better-looking first-party pads in years.

Gran Turismo PS5 Controller (Limited)

Sony is rolling out a Gran Turismo collab controller for PS5, and it's a limited-run item. The design work looks properly considered rather than a lazy recolor. Pre-orders are at $84.99 — and given the "limited" tag, expect the usual scarcity games.

A Steering Wheel Module and a Haptic Touchpad for the Pangu

Beitong's modular Pangu controller is getting two wild new modules. First: a steering wheel module — and this isn't a plastic toy. From the official promo footage, it has a built-in motor, takes up two module slots, and the wheel itself is generously sized. Genuinely curious how this one feels in person.

Second: a "haptic feedback touchpad" module, which as the name suggests appears to pack vibration, and can reportedly emulate a stick or a mouse. Pricing and dates for both modules are TBD.

KP70 × Neverness to Everness, Phase Two

The second wave of Beitong's KP70 collab with Neverness to Everness is here — two new designs, both leaning into pink colorways this time. If phase one passed you by and pink is your thing, this is your moment.

G7 Mini — Public Testers Wanted

GameSir posted an open recruitment for the G7 mini, an Xbox-licensed wired controller built for smaller hands. The layout mirrors the standard G7 closely; actual size and feel will have to wait for hands-on time. If you've found the G7 line appealing but oversized, keep this on your radar.

Ultimate 3C Lands Overseas

8BitDo has listed a brand-new controller internationally: the Ultimate 3C — notably NOT an Xbox-licensed pad. From what's known so far: adjustable-tension sticks, four extra inputs (two mini shoulders plus two back buttons), and what appears to be a dual-mode trigger setup. Pre-orders are showing at $39.99 — aggressive pricing for that feature list if it holds.

Split Controller Teased

Black Shark is about to announce a split-style mobile controller, and the renders look a lot like Redmi's earlier take on the concept. That Redmi unit was genuinely well-tuned for grip and buttons, but it had quirks: each side charged separately, and on non-Redmi devices you were stuck with native mode — no button remapping. Here's hoping Black Shark solves both.

That's Vol.14. Small controllers, limited editions, and a steering wheel you snap into a controller. See you next week.
