8BitDo Unveils the Ultimate 3E Gamepad: Customizable Buttons and Joysticks for Xbox

Comes Complete with a Wireless Charging Base

At CES, 8BitDo introduced an innovative controller that surely captures attention. The Ultimate 3E Controller for Xbox is designed to cater to various user preferences, thanks to its modular components that allow customization.

The controller boasts two distinct button modules, each offering a unique tactile experience. Additionally, it provides multiple joystick variants, including standard, extended height, and a broad-neck design. For directional input, there are dual D-pad options—one focused on high precision and the other aimed at easy, fluid navigation.

Beyond basic features, the Ultimate 3E includes a robust set of functionalities. This includes a 1000Hz maximum polling rate, advanced hall-effect pulse triggers, configurable bumpers designed for quick response, and a flexible 6-axis motion sensor. It even includes a case equipped for wireless charging, underscoring its powerful capabilities.

Though it holds official Xbox licensing, the controller is versatile and can be used with a variety of platforms, such as PCs, Android devices, and Apple products.

However, such high-end features come at a cost. The Ultimate 3E is priced at $150. The company plans to start accepting preorders soon, with shipping anticipated later this year. Until then, gamers can enjoy the adaptable features of this arcade-style controller from 8BitDo.
