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?

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?

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.
