Xiaomi has unveiled version 2.0 of its Black Shark
Gamepad and it’s a significant improvement over the original. It costs US$ 90/€ 80/£ 70 normally, but you get a 20% discount off that if you bundle it with
the original Black Shark phone. That currently goes for € 420/£ 360, € 80/£ 80 off
its usual price. Note that the original controller is bundled for free with
this phone.
Back to the Black Shark Gamepad 2.0. It now has two
parts, left and right, that attach no either side of the phone like the
Joy-Cons of the Nintendo Switch. These slide onto the protective case that is
included with the pack.
The left controller retains the analog joystick, but
it also gains four directional controls. On the right controller there’s a
trackpad and four buttons. Each controller also has a shoulder button. The holiday promo for the € 80/£ 80
discount off the original Black Shark phone lasts until January 4. If you go
and leave a review on the official website, you get another € 20/£ 20.
