minus-squaresixtyshilling@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up3·1 year agoI love 8BitDo’s products, but I really have no idea what use case those giant buttons are attempting to cater to.

In the past I’ve seen people having these type of buttons on their desktop and are mostly motivated by a joke that worked for a couple of days.
