8BitDo’s customizable Xbox controller has been delayed until August.

The company announced on X that preorders for its Ultimate 3E Controller for Xbox with TMR sticks, Hall effect triggers, and swappable ABXY buttons will be available for preorder starting on May 26th. But while it was announced during CES 2026 with an estimated Q2 release, the controller now isn’t shipping until August.
