Drakong, a sub-brand of Hyperkin, has announced its new PixelByte range of collectible controllers, which are themed after the popular anime Attack on Titan. These miniature controllers are designed to resemble pixelated NES controllers and come with charms featuring various characters from the series.
The PixelByte controllers are fully functional and support Bluetooth connectivity, making them compatible with PC, Nintendo Switch (both models), iOS, Android, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices. They offer approximately 12 hours of wireless gameplay and can be recharged via a USB-C connection.
Each PixelByte controller is distributed in a blind box, meaning purchasers will not know which character variant they will receive until the box is opened. There are seven possible variants, each featuring a unique color scheme and a chibi charm of characters such as Eren, Mikasa, Levi, and Hange. A rare chase variant is also included, though it appears at a lower distribution rate.
While the blind box distribution method may not be ideal for those seeking a specific controller, the appeal for collectors is evident. The controllers are available for pre-order now, priced at $24.99 per box.
