8BitDo’s new Xbox Elite-style controller sets a high bar for customization
8BitDo released the Ultimate 3E, a $150 gaming controller positioned as a premium option for customization-focused players. Features include drift-proof TMR joysticks, extra shoulder buttons, rear paddles, motion control, and modular swappable buttons and sticks. The design is refined but shows wear marks easily. It targets the same audience as Microsoft's pricier Xbox Elite Series 2 while offering distinct customization advantages over 8BitDo's own $60 Ultimate 2.
