With the rapid development of the game industry, gamepads, as a must-have weapon for players, have become an indispensable part of the game experience. Just like many game enthusiasts, a gamepad is essential to get the most out of your game. A high-quality, feel-friendly and powerful controller can undoubtedly greatly enhance your gaming experience. This time, I started with the latest Orion True Wireless Handle Charger Set launched by Babitdo. On the basis of the classic design, this product incorporates a multi-functional charging base to provide a more complete gaming experience for the wireless controller. Let's take a look!
Unboxing. The box of this Octopus Orion wireless handle and charging base is a bit larger than the wired model, and this packaging design is not unfamiliar to gamers who are familiar with the Octopus, which inherits the brand's usual simple and fashionable style, with a fresh color scheme. On the front**, you'll be able to see a preview of the gamepad charger set. Regarding the color matching of the product, the Octido Orion True Wireless Handle Seat Charger Set provides four options: Ice and Snow White, Sunshine Pink, Obsidian Black and Starry Night Purple, and I chose Starry Night Purple this time.
The cover of this product has a purple element, which is clearly marked with the brand name and 24G wired, Bluetooth three-mode connection and other information. On the back of the package, you can find the core parameters of the handle and the basic information of the manufacturer and other relevant certifications.

Design. The Orion Handle is a full-size controller designed for gamers. Its ergonomic design ensures a comfortable grip, while the matte coating treatment on the surface enhances the grip's anti-slip properties. It is characterized by sophistication, elegance and individuality. Its asymmetrical joystick layout combined with a full-size exterior design not only meets the needs of game operations, but also provides players with a unique visual enjoyment. The handle is ergonomic and 3D modeled with pebbles to ensure a comfortable feel and freedom of movement. In addition, the non-slip shape and zoned gradient sunband significantly improve friction and prevent hand slippage caused by sweaty hands during gaming.
From the front, the controller's key layout follows the mainstream design, including the left joystick, D-pad, right ABXY key, and joystick. The texture of Starry Night Purple is unique, and the combination of matte and grain provides good friction and effectively avoids slippage during intense operation. The entire handle is made of durable ABS material. In addition, it is widely compatible with iOS, macOS, Steam Deck, Android, and Windows 10, allowing gamers to use it on a variety of devices.
The design on the back is equally excellent, with a paddle in the center and D X on the surface, which stands for D Bluetooth mode and X wired mode as well as 24G mode. Underneath are the three charging contacts and the P1 and P2 back buttons. These back buttons can be customized according to the PC driver, which is especially useful when playing skill-demanding FPS games. The back keys are of a decent size and can be easily reached by the middle and ring fingers. At the top is the shoulder button area, which includes four shoulder buttons: LT RT and LB RB. LT RT adopts a slightly curved small bevel linear elastic trigger design, and has a built-in fast-elastic silicone and spring to achieve dual elastic response. LB RB is a click-to-trigger design. In the center of the shoulder button is the Type-C charging and wired mode interface. On the side is a charging light.
Handle configuration. As the octebit of the Ochido with a wireless handle, the multi-functional charging base is its indispensable accessory. This dock is equipped with a fully automatic start-stop function, so that users can use it immediately without worrying about battery issues, and truly achieve a complete wireless experience. In addition, connecting the dock to the computer via a USB cable can further enhance the receiver's signal, thus rescuing the receiver from surrounding interference and providing users with a purer and more stable gaming experience.
In addition to the charging function, this charging base can also be used as a table during non-gaming time. It has an all-inclusive rubber foot pad at the bottom, which is not only non-slip but also silent, adding to the comfort of use. The design of the base also takes into account the needs of table building enthusiasts, in addition to being used as a display stand, the appearance of the base is also quite high, and it can be well integrated into various desktop environments.
It is worth mentioning that the battery life of this true wireless controller is also very good, reaching 22 hours, and the battery life of the controller version is also as long as 15 hours. Even in the case of frequent use, the user does not have to charge frequently, thus guaranteeing the continuity of the game. In addition, there is a hidden compartment on the base for storing small wireless adapters. This design is convenient and neat, which can avoid the loss of adapters.
How to use it. When the handle is in the power-on state and picked up from the base, the handle will automatically vibrate to remind us that the connection is successful. On the Steam platform, the buttons of the controller are enough to cope with various scene operations. For advanced players, the Ultimate software allows for a high degree of customization. On the PC platform, the NS version of the Octodo Orion True Wireless Controller has a flexible and responsive Hall joystick, which is more convenient to use with quick button operation, and the sense of impact is also super strong. Combined with the macro definition of the vibration motor and elite software, it is refreshing to realize effective combo attacks.
In terms of charging, the handle can be charged when it is placed on the dock to charge, simplifying the battery replacement or data cable connection steps of the traditional wireless handle, and truly realizing the wireless experience. The dock charger is equipped with a charging indicator light, the white indicator light is always on when charging, and the indicator light turns off when fully charged. Automatically stop charging when fully charged, even if it is not used for a long time, it is safe to put the handle on the dock charger.
In addition, the shoulder buttons of this series are designed with conductive adhesive, which is rare in the market. For players who like games like the Souls series that require shoulder attacks, the conductive rubber shoulder buttons provide longer key travel and a soft actuation feel, as if you're really swinging a knife into battle. Other touch buttons may be more focused on quick triggering and lack the knife-wielding experience. Secondly, the exterior materials of the Orion series are among the best in the same price range. Compared to many plastic-like handles, it gives a sturdier and higher-end feel. This kind of external material makes me prefer to hold it for a long time and enjoy the game.
Summary. The eight-bit-do Orion true wireless handle is simple but not simple. At a time when domestic handle brands are pursuing differentiation and high-end, Baweitang adheres to the basic experience and competes with international brands. In the new year, Babittang specially launched the "Starry Night Purple" controller to send good wishes to game lovers. It is believed that in the new journey, Babittang will continue to lead the innovation and development of the game peripherals industry. If you are a gamer who often switches between Switch, PC and other platforms, and need a wireless charging and storage experience, then they will be a good choice.
