It is compatible with the <strong>Nintendo Switch, Switch OLED, Switch Lite<\/strong> and the <strong>Switch 2<\/strong> via its USB receiver plugged into the dock or directly via USB-C. It can also power on the console remotely via the Home button.<\/p>\n<h3>Can it really be used on an original NES?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes. This is one of the Origin8's great strengths: a <strong>dedicated NES receiver is included<\/strong>. Plug it into the controller port of your original 8-bit NES and enjoy your favourite cartridges wirelessly.<\/p>\n<h3>What is the difference from a Bluetooth controller?<\/h3>\n<p>The Origin8 uses <strong>2.4 GHz technology<\/strong> with a dedicated receiver, more stable and with lower latency than standard Bluetooth. On the other hand, it requires the receiver (USB or NES): it does not connect directly via Bluetooth to smartphones, for example.<\/p>\n<h3>Is it compatible with Raspberry Pi (RetroPie, Recalbox, Batocera)?<\/h3>\n<p>Yes, via the included USB receiver, it is recognised as a standard USB controller on Raspberry Pi with RetroPie, Recalbox, Batocera or Lakka, as well as on Windows PC, Mac and Linux.<\/p>\n<h3>How long does the battery last?<\/h3>\n<p>The 500 mAh battery allows long gaming sessions (several hours). It is recharged via the included USB-C cable, and you can even play in wired mode while charging.<\/p>\n<h3>What are the ZL and ZR buttons for?<\/h3>\n<p>These additional triggers are absent from the original NES but essential on Nintendo Switch: they give access to <strong>save states<\/strong>, the <strong>rewind<\/strong> function and the Switch Online quick menus. Real added value for modern gaming comfort.<\/p>\n<h3>How does the Turbo function work?<\/h3>\n<p>From <strong>built-in Turbo switches<\/strong> let you activate automatic rapid fire on the A and B buttons: extremely useful in retro shoot'em ups and demanding platform games.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<ul>\n<li><strong>2.4 GHz retro wireless controller<\/strong> : NES Platinum design, low latency, 500 mAh battery<\/li>\n<li><strong>Compatible with Nintendo Switch, Switch 2, original NES, PC<\/strong> : USB + NES receivers included<\/li>\n<li><strong>ZL\/ZR triggers, Turbo, Home &amp; Screenshot<\/strong> : ideal for Switch Online (NES, SNES, Game Boy)<\/li>\n<\/ul>","protected":false},"featured_media":31507,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[473],"product_cat":[323],"product_tag":[],"class_list":["post-31506","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_brand-retrobit","product_cat-manettes","first","outofstock","sale","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple","add-to-wishlist-after_add_to_cart"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/31506","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/product"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/31506\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":33451,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product\/31506\/revisions\/33451"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/31507"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=31506"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"product_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_brand?post=31506"},{"taxonomy":"product_cat","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_cat?post=31506"},{"taxonomy":"product_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/monraspberry.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/product_tag?post=31506"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
