Pro-Level Precision. Fully Customisable. Built to Win! ๐ŸŽฎ๐Ÿ”ฅ

Meet Your New Ultimate Gaming Weapon!

Think your current controller is pretty awesome?

Bru, you haven't met the 8BitDo Ultimate 3E yet! ๐Ÿ˜Ž

Introducing the 8BitDo Ultimate 3E Wireless Controller for Xbox, an officially Xbox-licensed premium gaming controller designed for players who want exceptional precision, serious customisation and complete control over their gaming experience.

Featuring TMR joysticks, interchangeable ABXY button modules, Hall Effect impulse triggers, additional programmable bumpers, professional back buttons, RGB Fire Rings and an innovative wireless charging dock, this controller isn't here to mess around.

And the best part?

You can customise its physical controls to suit the way YOU play.

Whether you're dominating competitive shooters, racing through corners or exploring massive open-world adventures, the Ultimate 3E gives you the flexibility to fine-tune your controller for different games.

Your game. Your controls. Your rules. Let's go, bru! ๐Ÿš€

Officially Licensed by Xbox. Wireless Gaming, Sorted! ๐ŸŸข

Yes, you read that correctly.

The Ultimate 3E 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 direct connection?

Simply connect via USB.

And with Windows PC support, the Ultimate 3E is equally happy powering your favourite computer games.

Finally, an Xbox controller that brings serious customisation and proper wireless freedom to the party!

TMR Joysticks. Next-Level Precision! ๐ŸŽฏ

Joystick precision can make all the difference when the action gets intense.

The Ultimate 3E features advanced TMR (Tunnelling Magnetoresistance) joysticks, designed for accurate, stable analogue input.

Unlike traditional potentiometer-based sticks, TMR sensors use magnetic sensing rather than relying on a sliding electrical contact to measure position.

8BitDo combines the joysticks with a 12-bit ADC sampling chip, helping deliver precise control.

That means responsive movement whether you're lining up a long-range shot, navigating tricky platforming sections or taking a tight racing corner.

And because magnetic sensing avoids the conventional contact-based position sensor, it's designed to reduce wear-related stick-drift concerns.

Precision matters, bru. Especially when victory is on the line!

No joystick technology is completely immune to every possible cause of drift or mechanical wear.

Interchangeable ABXY Modules. Smooth or Clicky? You Decide! ๐Ÿ”ด

Now this is seriously clever.

The Ultimate 3E allows you to swap the entire ABXY button module to change how the face buttons feel.

Choose between:

Silicone ABXY Module

Enjoy a familiar, softer membrane-style button feel.

Micro-Switch ABXY Module

Prefer crisp, tactile clicks? Switch to the micro-switch module for a more pronounced button response.

Both button styles are included, so there's no need to choose just one when purchasing the controller.

Whether you prefer the traditional feel of console controllers or love mechanical-style clicking, the Ultimate 3E lets you make the choice.

One controller. Two completely different button experiences. That's lekker!

Swappable D-Pads. Classic Precision or Smooth Directional Rolls! ๐Ÿ•น๏ธ

Different games demand different types of control.

That's why the Ultimate 3E supports interchangeable D-pad designs.

Standard D-Pad

A traditional directional layout for accurate movement and menu navigation.

Circular D-Pad

A rounded directional design that may feel more natural for rolling directional inputs in fighting games and other compatible titles.

Whether you're throwing combos in a fighting game or enjoying a retro platformer, you can choose the D-pad style that feels best.

Your controller shouldn't decide how you play. You should!

Six Joystick Options. Find Your Perfect Feel! ๐Ÿ”ง

One joystick style doesn't suit everyone.

Some gamers prefer taller sticks for finer aiming movements.

Others prefer a different thumb surface or neck design.

The Ultimate 3E includes multiple interchangeable joystick options:

  • 2 ร— Standard Joysticks (pre-installed)
  • 2 ร— Tall Joysticks
  • 1 ร— Dome Joystick
  • 1 ร— Thick-Neck Joystick

Experiment with different configurations to find what feels comfortable for shooters, racing games, action titles and everyday gaming.

Custom comfort. Custom control. Maximum gaming happiness!

Hall Effect Impulse Triggers. Two Trigger Stops! โšก

Want to switch from precise analogue control to faster trigger activation?

Sorted!

The Ultimate 3E features Hall Effect impulse triggers with two adjustable trigger-stop positions.

Choose the trigger travel that suits your game.

For racing games, a longer trigger movement can provide more room for gradual acceleration and braking.

For fast-paced shooters, a shorter trigger travel can help you reach the activation point with less movement.

And because the triggers use Hall Effect sensing, they detect position magnetically.

From the racetrack to the battlefield, you're ready for action!

Four Additional Pro-Level Controls. More Buttons, More Power! ๐ŸŽฎ

Sometimes your thumbs are already busy controlling movement and aiming.

That's where additional programmable controls become seriously useful.

The Ultimate 3E includes:

2 ร— Pro-Level Back Buttons

Positioned on the rear for convenient access to remapped actions.

2 ร— Extra Fast Bumpers (L4 and R4)

Additional shoulder controls designed for quick access during fast-paced gameplay.

Assign supported functions to these controls to create a layout that suits your favourite games.

Keep your thumbs on the sticks while activating useful commands.

Switch weapons, perform actions or configure shortcuts according to supported game and software functionality.

More control. Less finger gymnastics. Proper clever!

RGB Fire Rings. Light Up the Action! ๐ŸŒˆ

A premium gaming controller deserves a little visual personality.

And the Ultimate 3E delivers!

Surrounding the TMR joysticks are RGB Fire Rings, adding distinctive lighting effects to the controller.

These interactive RGB elements provide visual feedback during gameplay, while giving the Ultimate 3E an unmistakably premium appearance.

Whether you're gaming at your desk or relaxing on the couch, the illuminated rings make this controller stand out.

Who says serious gaming gear can't look absolutely awesome?

Up to 1000Hz Polling Rate on PC. Seriously Responsive! ๐Ÿš€

Competitive PC gaming demands quick responses.

The Ultimate 3E supports a polling rate of up to 1000Hz on Windows PC through supported wired and 2.4GHz wireless connections.

That's a potential reporting interval of just 1 millisecond under ideal conditions.

It's designed to help deliver responsive inputs during fast-paced gameplay.

Whether you're competing in online shooters or enjoying reaction-heavy games, it's an impressive addition.

Important: The 1000Hz polling rate is a PC-specific feature and is not supported on Xbox consoles.

Six-Axis Motion Control. Another Dimension of Control! ๐ŸŽฏ

Want even more ways to interact with your games?

The Ultimate 3E includes customisable six-axis motion control when used in supported 2.4GHz mode on PC.

This allows compatible motion input to be configured for functions such as aiming and movement through 8BitDo Ultimate Software X.

It's particularly interesting for PC gamers who enjoy experimenting with alternative aiming methods.

Move the controller. Fine-tune your control. Discover a different way to play!

Six-axis motion control is not supported on Xbox consoles.

Wireless Charging Dock. Drop, Charge, Game! ๐Ÿ”‹

Nobody enjoys plugging charging cables into a controller every time the battery runs low.

That's why the Ultimate 3E includes an innovative wireless charging dock.

The dock uses magnetic alignment and a contactless charging arrangement to position the controller correctly.

Simply place the controller onto the dock to recharge.

When you're ready to play, lift it off and enjoy automatic reconnection.

The dock can also house the included 2.4GHz wireless adapter.

Connect the dock to your Xbox console or Windows PC using USB to use the receiver without removing it from the dock.

Put it down. Charge it up. Pick it up. Game on!

1400mAh Battery. Up to 18 Hours of Gaming! ๐Ÿ”‹

Long gaming sessions?

Bring them on!

The Ultimate 3E includes a 1400mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery.

According to 8BitDo's official specifications:

  • Battery Capacity: 1400mAh
  • Battery Life: Up to 18 hours
  • Charging Time: Approximately 4โ€“5 hours
  • Charging Method: Included charging dock or supported USB charging

That's plenty of potential gaming time between charges.

And with the included charging dock, keeping your controller ready is wonderfully convenient.

Your snacks might run out before your controller battery does! ๐Ÿ˜‚

Redesigned Ergonomics. Comfort for Serious Gaming! ๐Ÿ–๏ธ

Long gaming sessions demand a controller that feels great in your hands.

The Ultimate 3E introduces a redesigned body with a wider grip angle, intended to provide a more comfortable hold.

It also features silicone-textured side grips to improve your grip during intense gameplay.

Wear-resistant joystick rings help protect the stick surrounds from friction during repeated movements.

The result is a controller that combines thoughtful ergonomics with a premium feel.

Comfort, control and confidence. That's a winning combination!

Four Vibration Motor Sets. Feel the Action! ๐Ÿ’ฅ

Gaming isn't only about what you see.

It's about what you feel too.

The Ultimate 3E features four sets of vibration motors, providing supported force-feedback effects during gameplay.

The controller also supports vibration customisation through compatible 8BitDo software.

Whether you're speeding around a racetrack or enjoying an action-packed adventure, supported vibration effects add another dimension to the experience.

When the action gets intense, you'll know about it!

3.5mm Audio Jack. Headset Ready! ๐ŸŽง

Want to chat with your teammates while gaming?

The Ultimate 3E includes a 3.5mm audio jack for compatible headsets.

8BitDo lists headset audio support when using the controller with Xbox and Windows PC.

The controller also provides supported audio adjustment functionality.

It's a convenient feature for gamers who prefer connecting a wired headset directly to their controller.

Headset support and available controls vary by platform and connection mode.

Three Custom Profiles. Ready for Different Games! โš™๏ธ

A controller setup that's perfect for racing might not be ideal for a competitive shooter.

Thankfully, the Ultimate 3E supports three custom controller profiles.

Configure supported button mappings and controller settings for your favourite games.

Then use the profile controls to switch between configurations.

For example:

Profile 1 โ€“ FPS Gaming

Set up your preferred aiming and button configuration.

Profile 2 โ€“ Racing

Adjust trigger behaviour for your driving preferences.

Profile 3 โ€“ Everyday Gaming

Create a comfortable layout for general gaming.

One controller. Three ways to dominate!

8BitDo Ultimate Software X. Make It Truly Yours! ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ
