8BitDo Ultimate 3E wireless controller review

The 8BitDo Ultimate 3E is a well-built wireless controller that works with Xbox and PC, with Bluetooth support for mobile devices. The review praises its reliable connection, comfortable grips and easy-to-swap components, but says its high price makes it difficult to recommend when similarly capable controllers cost much less.

It is officially licensed for Xbox and can wake the console, while switching between Xbox and PC requires moving its wireless adapter. The package includes a charging dock, carry case, cable and spare modular parts; features include TMR sticks, extra buttons and a 1,000 Hz polling rate. The reviewer notes that it lacks some higher-end options, such as 8,000 Hz polling and broader modular choices.
