Beautiful Looks. Serious Gaming Power! đŽđđĨ
Pretty in Purple. Absolutely Deadly in Game!
Who says a gaming controller can't look gorgeous and deliver serious performance?
Bru, meet the controller that's here to prove everyone wrong! đ
Introducing the 8BitDo Ultimate 3 Wireless Controller for Xbox â Lavender Dusk, an officially Xbox-licensed gaming controller that combines beautiful pastel styling with advanced professional gaming technology.
Inspired by elegant Rococo colours, its gorgeous Lavender Dusk finish changes character depending on the lighting, appearing cooler during the day and warmer as the light softens.
But don't let that pretty purple finish fool you!
Underneath is a seriously capable controller featuring TMR joysticks with adjustable Force Ring tension, Hall Effect triggers, four additional programmable controls, 2.4GHz wireless Xbox connectivity, a 1000Hz PC polling mode and a magnetic wireless charging dock.
Whether you're chasing victories in competitive shooters, racing through tight corners or exploring your favourite open-world adventures, this controller is ready for action.
Beautiful enough to show off. Powerful enough to dominate. Now that's lekker! đ
Lavender Dusk. A Controller That Looks Like a Work of Art! đ
Gaming accessories don't always have to be black, grey or covered in flashing RGB lights.
Sometimes a softer colour makes an even bigger statement.
The Lavender Dusk edition features a beautiful pastel-purple finish inspired by Rococo aesthetics.
Its natural lavender tone appears cooler under bright lighting and warmer as the day turns to evening.
The result?
A controller that looks equally fantastic in a minimalist gaming setup, a colourful desktop arrangement or sitting proudly next to your Xbox.
Soft colours. Serious performance. Zero compromises on personality!
Officially Licensed by Xbox. Wireless Gaming, Sorted! đĸ
Yes, you read that correctly!
The Ultimate 3 is officially licensed by Xbox and supports wireless gameplay on compatible Xbox consoles.
Using the included 2.4GHz wireless adapter, you can enjoy cable-free gaming on:
- Xbox Series X
- Xbox Series S
- Xbox One
Prefer a wired connection?
Simply connect the controller using USB.
The controller also supports Windows PCs through 2.4GHz wireless or USB, while compatible Apple and Android devices can connect through Bluetooth.
One premium controller. Multiple gaming platforms. Proper clever!
Force Ring Joysticks. Adjust the Tension to Suit Your Game! đ¯
Here's what makes the Ultimate 3 particularly special.
Its innovative Force Ring technology lets you physically adjust the resistance of the joysticks.
Prefer lighter movement for fast reactions?
Dial in a looser feel.
Want more resistance for deliberate, precise aiming?
Increase the tension.
This gives you a way to fine-tune how the controller feels without replacing the joysticks.
It's particularly useful when switching between different game genres.
Fast shooters? Tight racing lines? Precision platforming? Make the controller feel right for you!
TMR Joysticks. Magnetic Precision Meets Modern Gaming! đšī¸
The Ultimate 3 features advanced TMR (Tunnelling Magnetoresistance) joysticks.
Unlike conventional potentiometer-based joystick sensors, TMR technology measures stick position magnetically without relying on the same sliding electrical contact.
This helps reduce certain wear-related causes of stick drift.
The controller also includes a 12-bit ADC sampling chip and a 216MHz processor to support accurate, responsive joystick input.
Combined with the adjustable Force Ring, it's a fantastic setup for gamers who appreciate fine control.
Precision in your hands. Confidence in every movement!
Hall Effect Impulse Triggers. Two Trigger Stops! âĄ
Different games demand different trigger behaviour.
That's why the Ultimate 3 features Hall Effect impulse triggers with two adjustable trigger-stop positions.
Choose a longer trigger movement for games where gradual input matters, such as racing.
Or select a shorter trigger travel when you prefer quicker activation in fast-paced action games.
The magnetic Hall Effect sensing technology provides precise analogue trigger detection.
And supported impulse-trigger vibration adds extra feedback in compatible games.
From the starting grid to the final boss, you're ready!
Four Extra Programmable Controls. More Power to Your Fingers! đŽ
Sometimes you need more controls without taking your thumbs off the joysticks.
Sorted!
The Ultimate 3 includes:
- Two Pro-Level Back Buttons â Convenient additional rear controls.
- Two Fast Bumpers (L4 and R4) â Extra remappable shoulder buttons.
Configure supported functions to match your preferred gaming style.
For example, you can map commonly used actions to the rear buttons so you don't constantly have to move your thumbs away from the sticks.
The fast bumpers are also designed for convenient mapping without complicated software setup.
Less finger gymnastics. More gaming control. That's a win, bru!
Redesigned Disc D-Pad. Smooth Directional Control! đ
Whether you're playing fighting games, retro platformers or navigating menus, a good D-pad makes a difference.
The Ultimate 3 features a redesigned disc-style D-pad, made for comfortable directional inputs.
The rounded design helps accommodate diagonal movements and rolling directional combinations.
It's a thoughtful upgrade for players who enjoy games that rely heavily on directional controls.
Old-school gaming moves meet new-school controller engineering!
Up to 1000Hz Polling Rate on PC. Built for Fast Reactions! đ
Competitive gaming is all about responsiveness.
The Ultimate 3 supports up to 1000Hz polling in Tournament Mode on Windows PC, using supported wired and 2.4GHz wireless connections.
At 1000Hz, the controller can report input data as frequently as once every millisecond under ideal conditions.
It's a fantastic feature for PC gamers who prioritise responsive controls.
Important: Tournament Mode is PC-only, not supported on Xbox consoles, and disables trigger vibration while enabled.
Six-Axis Motion Control. Another Way to Play! đ¯
Want to experiment with motion-based aiming?
The Ultimate 3 supports customisable six-axis motion control on PC in 2.4GHz mode.
Using 8BitDo Ultimate Software X, supported motion input can be mapped to the left or right analogue stick.
This provides another control option for compatible PC gaming setups.
A little controller movement can open up a whole new way to play!
Motion control is not available on Xbox consoles.
Magnetic Wireless Charging Dock. Drop, Charge, Game! đ
Nothing ruins a gaming session quite like finding your controller battery flat.
Thankfully, the Ultimate 3 includes a beautiful wireless charging dock.
The dock features magnetic alignment to help position the controller correctly for contactless charging.
Simply place the controller on the dock when you're finished gaming.
When you're ready for another session, lift it off and enjoy automatic reconnection.
The dock also accommodates the included wireless adapter, allowing you to connect it directly to your console or PC by USB.
No fiddling with charging contacts. No cable plugged into the controller. Just lekker convenience!
1000mAh Battery. Up to 20 Hours of Gaming! đ
Gaming marathons?
Bring them on!
The Ultimate 3 includes a 1000mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery.
8BitDo rates it for:
- Up to 20 Hours of Gameplay
- Approximately 4â5 Hours Charging Time
- Convenient Wireless Charging Dock
- USB Charging Support
That's plenty of potential gaming time between charges.
And with the charging dock included, keeping your controller ready is wonderfully straightforward.
Your snacks might run out before your battery does! đ
Redesigned Ergonomics. Comfort for Longer Gaming Sessions! đī¸
A fantastic controller should feel as good as it performs.
The Ultimate 3 features a redesigned body with a wider grip angle, intended to provide a more natural and comfortable hold.
Whether you're playing casually on the couch or tackling a lengthy gaming session, the refined shape makes the controller comfortable to use.
The design combines familiar Xbox-style controls with 8BitDo's thoughtful approach to ergonomics.
Comfortable hands. Happy gamer. More time for one last match!
Four Vibration Motor Sets. Feel the Action! đĨ
Gaming is about more than what you see on screen.
It's about what you feel.
The Ultimate 3 features four sets of vibration motors, providing supported feedback in the grips and triggers.
From racing action to explosions and other in-game events, compatible games can make use of vibration feedback.
Supported vibration settings can also be adjusted through 8BitDo Ultimate Software X.
Every race. Every battle. Every epic moment!
3.5mm Audio Jack. Headset Ready! đ§
