The 8BitDo Ultimate 3 Controller for XBOX is officially licensed and the perfect gaming companion to tackle any adventure. Compatible with XBOX Series X|S as well as XBOX One, this treasure of a gamepad can connect via 2.4Ghz wireless and wired for XBOX and on PC, gamers are well catered for thanks to the exceptional polling rate of up to 1000Hz. Thanks to integrated Bluetooth technology, the Ultimate 3 is also compatible with mobile devices, perfect for gaming on the move. With Ultimate 3, the dual Thumbsticks are powered via TMR technology, banishing stick-drift forever, while the Hall-effect Impulse Triggers allow gamers to choose between two trigger stops, ideal for fast paced shooters. Two pro-level back buttons offer further levels of professional customisation, while the included Tomb Raider themed Charging Dock, confirms the Ultimate 3 as a stunning statement piece worthy of display even when you’re not gaming!
The 8BitDo Pro 3 Bluetooth Gamepad offers professional control for a wide variety of gaming platforms. Compatible with Nintendo® Switch™ and Nintendo® Switch™2 via Bluetooth, 2.4Ghz or wired USB, the Pro 3 can also connect to Windows™ via 2.4Ghz or wired USB, SteamOS via Bluetooth or wired USB and mobile devices via Bluetooth or wired USB.
TMR powered dual Thumbsticks ensure that movement is sharp and precise, eliminating dreaded stick-drift, while additional R3 and L4 extra bumpers, as well as two pro-level back buttons offer a wealth of configuration options. Hall-effect Triggers combine with a silky-smooth tactile D-Pad meaning that every input on the Pro 3 is built for precision and durability.
Unique to the Pro 3, swappable magnetic ABXY face buttons, allow gamers to switch their inputs for different platform configurations, and when used with Switch or Steam, in-built 6-axis motion control, ensures maximum compatibility with a huge range of titles.
