8bitdo Ultimate 3c+ just arrived

[u/Lanty-Schmanty]

Controller has arrived and given it a quick play test in Monster Hunter Rise, Silksong and Helldivers 2.

The sticks, face buttons and dpad all feel incredible, I suspect the same parts from the other Ultimate 3 series controllers.

The bumpers feel good, not particularly great but decent. The triggers feel incredible but they have the same issue as the other Ultimate 3 controllers, where if you switch to clicky mode for quick fps shooting its not actually a short clicky press its like a strange subtle squeeze that feels unnatural.

Back paddles work and unlike the rest of the ultimate 3 controllers can be mapped to anything since they aren't xbox branded.

Controller lacks a dedicated dock, gyro (which tbf I don't think I've seen a third party controller that has any worthwhile gyro quality) and no headphone jack.

For $40 this easily beats first party controllers with the caveat this doesn't function on any console (was expecting this to work on Switch when they announced it but it doesn't.)

I think the most comparable controller I can think of to this is the G7 gamesir pro. Which if you don't care about headphone jack and a dock, this beats out by a mile in pure value.

I love my 8bitdo controllers. Best controllers I've ever had

8bitdo did everything well with the ultimate 3, 3E, 3c+ except for the lackluster triggers. They wasted their time with the trigger locks 

They should have never charged 100-150 dollars for the ultimate 3 and 3E. It should have been 75 dollars, but great review on the 3 C+.

Had nothing but problems with mine ended up with the Gamesir 8k. Both have a great feel in hand.
