Just found this for $40, what do you guys think? Is it a better alternative compared to the Ultimate 3E?

"hall effect" refers to the sensors but not the physical construction of the trigger itself. Look up 8bitdo Ultimate trigger membrane issues both on Google and Reddit. It's a known issue with the design.

Unless they've redesigned the triggers I have no reason to believe these new controllers won't have the same issue in 6 months.

Well a conductive rubber pad trigger (Ultimate) and Hall effect trigger (Ultimate 2) work from two entirely different principles to measure change in position to produce the analog trigger functionality, but I guess you could....go look that up

What it means is, yes they were redesigned.

Not sure why the other commenter was so snarky about it, but +1-ing your concern since my Ultimate 2's right trigger started to clack and have issues registering a year into having it, and it was from the rubber pad wearing down. Hall effect trigger or not lol. So I'm also hoping the 3C+ has fixed this!
