People seem to be mistaking this controller with the newly released 8BitDo Ultimate 3E Controller that costs $150. This is for the Ultimate 3-Mode controller. It is wired only for Xbox. It is wireless for everything else, windows, android, ios, etc via blutooth & 2.4G dongle. I've updated the title to exclude the word wireless.

They do I bought the Rare 40th anniversary 8 bitdo blue n yellow colorway with dock. It's just never on sale. I believe there's 2 other ed. Thats the model that will run everything except PlayStation. So covers all that you asked for. The 8bitdo will run Xbox wireless w a 2.4ghz dongle as well as Pc there's a switch on the back of the controller for ur Bluetooth,wired, or 2.4ghz for switch/mobile Bluetooth. Comes w the dock. 8bitdo software u can custom how the buttons swap for switch etc.. . Hope that helps...

FYI:
The Ultimate 3-Mode is actually the first generation (the 3 refers to XBOX (wired), PC, and Mobile).

so it really should be 8Bitdo Ultimate 1, 3-Mode version.

the Ultimate 2 wireless works for PC, Mobile but not XBox, it is newer than Ultimate and better in the hardware spec.

the Ultimate 3 is actually full featured second generation of Ultimate 3-Mode in the sense that it support everything the 3 Mode does (wireless for xbox). so in reality it should be called Ultimate 3 3-Mode (if they want to keep the 3 Mode in the names)


so if 8Bitdo actually want to de-clutter their name with their random 3-mode badge.. just drop them for all, or add them for all, don't add to some of the product line.

Completely agree with you their naming convention drives me absolutely crazy. I have just started using this controller after having it well over a year.

Took me longer than it should to get the right software to recognize the controller. Note, you need 8Bitdo Ultimate Software X for X-Box controllers. Why? No clue. The other software V2 would not find it on Bluetooth, wired or 2.4Ghz adapter.

It does work wirelessly on the Xbox but you need an adapter X-Magic or something for it to work. Wired obviously works fine. Their software doesn't even tell you the battery left while on 2.4Ghz, seems crazy.

Sounds like I'm knocking it - paid probably 50 for it a year ago, it's quality just a shame the battery isn't replaceable at all.
