8BitDo Ultimate 3C+ Wired Controller for Xbox, Digi Mart USA News: 8BitDo has introduced a wired Xbox version of its Ultimate 3C+ controller, the cheapest model in the company’s Ultimate 3 series. The new controller follows the wireless Ultimate 3C+, which was released in October, and is priced at $39.99, the same as its wireless sibling.
The wired version swaps the 8BitDo logo on the home button for the Xbox logo but keeps the same button layout. It features TMR thumbsticks with adjustable tension, two fast bumpers (R4 and L4), two lockable back buttons, a tactile D-pad, and triggers that can switch between linear Hall Effect and micro-switch modes.
Vibration motors are present in the grips and triggers, as on the wireless model.
Compared with the wireless version, the wired controller lacks turbo functionality and a high polling rate. It does include an audio jack.
According to 8BitDo, it is compatible with Xbox Series S, Xbox Series X and Xbox One consoles, as well as PCs running Windows 10 and later. Available in Matcha Green and Charcoal Gray, it can be pre-ordered on the 8BitDo eShop, where shipping begins on November 16 with a 2.5m braided USB-C cable.
The controller does not include the cardboard DIY stand that comes with the wireless version.
