"This flip-style gamepad, designed for Android and iOS (officially supported by Apple) mobile devices, is palm-sized for ultra-portability. Coming to CES 2026, the microcontroller will be officially available in the summer of 2026. There is no word on the release date, nor are there many details, but we'll share what's available of this retro-forward accessory that looks inspired by the Game Boy DMG color theme."
"The flip-style controller is designed in a way that it can overlay over the on-screen keyboard for maximum ergonomic comfort. That's the reason the controller is compatible with most third-party applications and emulators like the Delta Emulator. I presume the controller will come with an in-built rechargeable battery and lack Bluetooth connectivity since it plugs directly into your smartphone via the USB-C port."
8BitDo FlipPad is a palm-sized flip-style portrait clip-on controller for Android and iOS that connects via USB-C and emphasizes ultra-portability. The controller includes 12 face buttons and a D-Pad, omitting shoulder triggers typically unnecessary for portrait-oriented mobile games. The design draws inspiration from the Game Boy DMG color theme and aims to overlay on-screen controls for ergonomic comfort. Compatibility targets most third-party applications and emulators, including Delta Emulator, making it suitable for quick-session titles like Vampire Survivors and Subway Surfers. The FlipPad will appear at CES 2026 and is slated for release in summer 2026, likely with an internal rechargeable battery and no Bluetooth.
