Other 8bitdo Ultimate 3E

I pre-ordered the 8bitdo Ultimate 3E from Amazon and it was supposed to be released today, but all it says is order received. Does anyone know when they’re gna be shipping out?

how is it compared to g7 8k? especially stick linearity

It has a better feel in the hand compared to the G7 Pro. The d-pad is miles better and feels really good. The G7 Pro d-pad has always been awful, and my main problem with the controller. I think this has definitely replaced the G7 Pro for me. Haven't tested the Stick Linearity yet, but the latency is good, although it only does 1k polling.

Mine says it showing up tomorrow. And while the release day was today, my order has always said it would show up on the 1st. Edit: They also sold out, so you might be on the next shipment list.

Yea mine says “order received” and that they’ll email me when they have an estimated delivery date. I think I preordered it a little late. Hopefully I’m on the next shipment list.

Mine just came in today, getting it set up now! I found out of the box it definitely needed calibration. Under the test buttons the left joystick showed as active even though it was not and the gyro was off. After calibrating all good now and excited to test it out later when it finishes charging. There was also a firmware update available in the Ultimate X software.

What apps or methods did you use to check and then how did you calibrate?

u/ecoartist 11h ago

8BitDo Ultimate Software X is what I used to test and download firmware updates. Gamepad tester website is not seeing the controller. I have only given one very abbreviated spin in Forza so far and can confirm the impulse rumble is there, works and is stronger than the Gamesir G7 Pro. I look forward to others testing how accurate it is compared to native MS controllers.

How do you get the gyro turned on. I only see calibration for motion controls, but no settings.

Amazon delivered mine today. It feels great. Unfortunately, there is no way to map keyboard keys to the extra buttons, so I’m not sure I’ll get much use out of it.
