What is /v/'s consensus on 8bitdo vs gamesir?

>>716455695
the controller brand is literally called GameSir

>>716455767
I heard 8bitdo’s QC has fallen off a cliff recently, but I got my controller years before people started saying that, so I can’t verify it. If I were to buy any controller right now, it’d probably be the KK Pro 3.

>>716455695
yes

gulikit kk3 max is kinda unassuming but its the best ive used. easy to work on, as well. and ive tried em all.

>>716455618 (OP)
SAAAR BLOODY BENCHODE!!!

MAAM PLEASE REDEEM THE HALL EFFECT STICK

>>716456056
i tried 8bitdos ultimate 2 or whatever recently and i found it to be pretty bad. not QC wise, seemd well-built, but the form factor was bad. i have small hands but that controller was even smaller than the switch pro controller, my thumbs way overshot the face buttons and it was awkward getting to the right stick, the back paddles are in the way and super soft so you just actuate them constantly on accident.

the dpad was nice, but it was also incredibly stiff, idk if it softens up over time but if not it would be exhausting to use.

i like the little third button they sneak up by the triggers and bumper, thats a really good idea, they should do just that instead of the shitty paddle button layout they have

>>716456056
>recently
It's always been hit or miss.

I've literally heard nothing but good things about gamesir, but personally I'm a big Hori fan because I love their dpads while I'm ambivalent about sticks in general

>>716455618 (OP)
8bitdo Ultimate 2. I really like it, no issues.

>>716455618 (OP)
TELL ME HONESTLY HOW THE DPAD IS ON THIS THING

>exhausting to use
Have you tried lifting some weights and stop being a weakling?

>>716455618 (OP)

here's your controller bro
the stick is WASD only with no analog function. It was almost fucking perfect

>>716458452
intriguing

I just want something like a switch pro without the shitty dpad

>>716458530
What's wrong with the dpad

>>716458530
I just want a DS2/DS3 but new and not low quality chinkclone

>>716458452
I would prefer this with no stick at all, and a couple more face buttons in its place.

>>716458884
I wish I got one of these back in the 2000s. I actually used the Game Boy Player a lot.

only spare controller I got bro you gotta use this

>>716459052
how do I even turn it on?

here's your controller lil bro

I don't like how every other game gives me xbox prompts

>>716455695
Lots of poor people don't resort to scamming. And rich jeets are the biggest scammers of all.

Anyone got a recommendation for one of these types of controllers where you stick your phone in the middle? Not necessarily Gamesir

>>716461569
None of them. Get a dedicated handheld if you hate touchscreen buttons. It's less autistic than carrying one of these contraptions around.

>>716455767
I prefer Gamesir for usually having equal support and performance on xinput ds4 and switch input modes, and having onboard kbm binds + shift layer. Also more sensible grips.

>>716456056
It's been off a cliff for a decade, but I don't think any chink brand has QC to begin with. Plenty of complaints over the years about 8Bitdo, Gamesir, Flydigi, Mobapad, PXN, Machenike, etc. that aren't the standard experience.

Once the pro 3 releases I'm certain that'll be my go to

>>716461650
A dedicated handheld would cost like ten times as much
I wouldn't be carrying it around, I'd just be playing while lying in bed

8bitdo ultimate wired, have used this for thousands of hours by now.
One of the dpad directions has double presses sometimes but every other button still functions and the sticks are flawless still.
I got a wireless one before this and the right stick got messed up, causing it to hang on the right. Not exactly drift, it just got loose.
This ones lasted far longer.
Dont like how the rubbers coming off though, will need to take care of that.

I like the classic logitech controller, but it's ma'am :)

>>716461836
A fucking miyoo mini plus is like 0.0003 BTC

CoreA used to make what was basically a wired version of the Xbone Elite controller. Mine still works okay but it's discontinued now.

The newer Xbone Core controllers are decent too. The dish dpad was a bit weird at first but it's actually just basically a more comfortable saturn dpad.

>>716457872

nobody cares about your shitty chink brand, go buy from a real brand like Gamesir or 8shitdo

Yes, that is funny

They're all made in the same factory.

What’s a good controller that natively supports Xinput over Bluetooth? My Wii U controller is starting to have issues with the battery connection after 5 years. Should I just go for the Xbox Series controller?

>>716455618 (OP)
It was half off and liked the button switching gimmick of it. If i was to buy a controller today i might just go with OP's choice. Though setting the extra buttons for turbo buttons is nice.

>>716455618 (OP)
>gamesaar
lol. Do you redeem the buttons?

>>716461091
I still have one of those in that color. My favorite controller looks wise ever.
>>716461569
I've been continually looking for one as good feel wise as that gamesir but with the dpad on top. Don't think it exists, I bought the gamesir but returned it because it gave me hand cramps due to the dpad position.

>>716461836
>10x as much
Gamesir is like 80 bucks bro, these handhelds are literally cheaper, even the expensive ones are like 250

How's the D pad on that bad boy?

>>716461569
I actually just gotten that one. But i never bought any other controller for this reason. But i like it. Buttons are clicky It has some nice funtions like taking screenshoot button. Or when you press the gamesir button with up or down on dpad you can change volume. If you can find coupon for it i think it's the best one you could buy. Unless you don't care for ergonomics.

I have a lot,now i'm using this one. The BEST battery by far.

>>716464763
For me it's "wow I'm buying this controller I'll totally use it for something"
Used this thing like twice since I bought it. It was cheap though I suppose
Did the same with the 8bitdo m30 but that was a damn good controller and the best for 2d games I've tried

>>716464916
play some Neo Turf Masters and Metal Slug with it

I'm looking for a PS5 controller with asymmetrical thumbsticks. Is there any?

>>716464950
The only time I've ever used it is for neo turf masters kek, it's my turf masters controller

You literally can't top that.

>>716461091

>>716455767
The QC for all these controllers are bad, i know /v/ zoomers weren't old enough to follow how bad 8bitdo's shit was back in the day. It was literally pay to test, instead of them doing their own R&D like white people and selling a good working product.

>>716465981
>>removed AA battery compatibility
>its a downgrade... did they at least fixed the awful dpad?
Idk ESL bro. I have owned many 8bitdo controllers and the only ones with a shit dpad were the early 8bitdo sn30 pro controllers, and only the Nintendo style dpads had that issue. I've had a pro plus from before they introduced the pro 2 and I never had false diagonals like any of the earlier models

It just werks.

can you explain this meme? i only play shmups btw

>>716466285
Powera is kino. I used this for my ps3 for a long time and it felt like a cheap piece of shit but worked really well actually.

I have an Ultimate 2 and Ultimate 2C and neither of them have problems with diagonals.

>>716466329
Yes.

dual sense edge poorfags

Let me guess: You need more?

>>716466370
If you are pressing down/up on a controller and you switch directions quickly you might accidentally hit a diagonal unintentionally if your dpad is shit.
One good example of this in a game is in contra. If you hold down to crouch and wiggle the dpad left and right. If you lose the crouch and start moving your dpad is shit because the diagonals are too easy to hit on accident

Unrelated but I have an original sega genesis controller that has a couple of millimeter off center punch where the dpad rocks over the ball bearing in the dpad and does this shit, wtf sega. My other controller does not do this. Sign of bad qc

>>716466556
Another way you can test this is play tetris. Most tetris versions pressing down instantly drops the block, so if your dpad is shit and unreliable rocking left and right you'll end up fucking up and dropping it.

>>716455618 (OP)
Does anyone have this? Looking for a controller for 2D stuff.

>>716466556
>diagonals are too easy to hit on accident
wtf i have the exact opposite problem with the pro 2, the diagonals are too hard to hit
>If you hold down to crouch and wiggle the dpad left and right.
this should be the intended behaviour of any controller, a shit controller would not activate the diagonals in such situation

>>716466752
QC wasn't the best when it first released. Its gotten better but I wouldn't be too surprised if one of your triggers required slightly more force than the other.
There's also no pivot in the dpad. You can modify it in yourself if you want but if you hate non pivot dpads you'll hate it.
I've used mine to do decently well in bullet hells so its functional enough.
The genesis variant is the same shit with a different shape. If you've got long fingers it may be uncomfortable.

IMO its a serviceable controller but nothing special.

>>716464573
can you turn off the obnoxious light up face buttons on this thing?

>>716466370
shit shmuplets worry about. it just means how easy it is to hit a diagonal or sensitivity to them. in shmups you want an easy diagonal so sensitive diagonals are a good thing to you. if you're playing a game that never wants to hit diagonals its bad if it's sensitive. I don't like any nintendo style crosspads because they're really locked in compared to floating sega pads. I have an 8bitdo wireless 2 and it takes too much effort for me to hit a diagonal on it compared to a floating pad. Not a big deal though, I only use it for 3D games for 2D games I use a joystick.
>>716466752
i got one. snapped the plastic under the dpad in a month. gutted the controller and popped it's usb into a real saturn pad. The board works good in real hardware

>>716455618 (OP)
I really like this controller. I still use an Xbox controller for most 3D stuff, but it's great for 2D games and platformers

This is all I need.

>>716466984
that controller doesnt look comfortable for fps games, how do you even grab the dpad and thumbstick at the same time

>>716466526
Ya a second stick.

>>716466847
You don't actually press left and right, it's a test to see if your controller is consistent at holding a direction. I was playing dkc 2 today and there's a section where I wanted to fly straight up, holding up to go precisely straight, if the controller is shit holding up you'd get some play that could fuck up your precision movement.

>>716466958
Like anon said it is good in shmups, also fighting games to consistently do movements. In platformers or puzzle games you'd want it to be difficult to accidentally hit diagonals

>>716467437
Using c-sticks for movement was always better.

>>716466285

>>716467628

that being said I can corroborate their first few waves of controllers being shit for sure. I can't blame anyone put off by those wii u/early switch era controllers

>>716468206
I modded mine with a seimitsu stick and buttons and it's great. Unfortunately the stick didn't fit standard so I had to screw it in under the acrylic and the seimitsu buttons fit tight as fuck so cleaning it is going to be amazing.

8bitdo's actual QC is as good as it ever was, which is to say the misses are rare enough you're pretty much never gonna hear about them outside of Reddit threads and the five hundred millionth retard in a controller thread yammering about the d-pad of the SN30 Pro back when it still had a SNES design. For reference, enough people squeal about 8bitdo on /v/ being the work of shills that some Chinese derived nicknames for 8bitdo are now on the auto-spam filter

That being said, 8bitdo still produces rubber membrane d-pads that feel good but have strange diagonals that are fixable (not that you should be fixing an out-of-the-box product, mind). I haven't used any of their Ultimate controllers or the upcoming Pro 3 that have Vita styled dome switch-under-rubber membrane d-pads so I can't say anything on those. Everything else on 8bitdo controllers is rock solid, hall effect works great, battery life is still good even with hall sticks being power hungrier, buttons feel good, only problem is Pro 2 has some input latency but it's still not enough you're ever gonna notice it unless you're a weird motherfucker playing fightan games with a Playstation layout controller.

Most recently some of the more recent 8bitdo controllers now support Steam Input over Dinput for full controller functionality.

>>716465632
jesus do they ever stop shitting out new variants
I fuckin hated the Pro 2. bad ergies, bad dpad

>>716455618 (OP)
And here's your controller, OP

>>716466060
the worst 3rd party Dpad, anyway.

>>716455618 (OP)
Been using the same DS3 since '08. Really is a great controller. My personal favorite.
-Better build quality than the PS4 controller
-No share button
-Rechargeable
-Start and Select buttons instead of "options"
-No silly track pad
-Rumble
-Not wired like DS2
-Symmetrical layout
-Works on PC with bluetooth and a third party app. No dongle.
-Thumbsticks made out of dog noses, no drift even all these years later
-Came with USB
-Pressure sensitive R2 + L2 buttons
Only complaint I hear about it is the D-Pad isn't "clicky" enough because it's one solid piece instead of 4 seperate buttons, but I've never found that to be an issue.
One thing I personally find annoying, most PC games don't detect it as a PlayStation controller, it has to use Xinput. It can be harrowing trying to find playstation glyphs for PC games and mostly they don't exist, you're stuck using Xbox inputs.
Also worth mentioning, if you're going to buy one make sure it's a dualshock (DS3) and not a sixaxis. The sixaxis is the original PS3 controller and it doesn't have rumble. Sixaxis was a motion control gimmick that almost no games used. Very few games had parts where you had to tilt or shake the controller almost like a wiimote without a pointer. It's basically useless but DS3 still has it.

>>716468461
>that D-pad when they could have just used the tried and true Genesis / Saturn mk.2 D-pad
Why?

>>716468413
>jesus do they ever stop shitting out new variants
THE RIDE NEVER ENDS

>>716468408
I mean, I have their new ulti conch. I did some tests in games where diagonals are important like Contra and Hollow Knight and I didn't see any issues

>>716455618 (OP)
just got and built one of these
haven't been able to test it yet
mostly use the gamesir tarantula pro and steam controller as my main gamepads but this one entices me with its gyro focus and softwareless profile setup

>>716468408
Imagine dicking around on a pad made for 2d games when you can get an arcade stick for cheaper

ALL 2D games play better on stick. Even platformers. The only reason old school controllers used a dpad instead of an arcade style joystick was because of cost

>>716468531
Nor do I, personally, and this is on a mushy 8bitdo Pro 2 d-pad. No issues in Mega Man, Castlevania or Contra where it's actually pretty important I have control over where I'm gonna end up or what I'm currently doing. "Contra test" as Mr. Grab A Drink And Snack likes to do is a really bad way of actually measuring how a d-pad works in real gameplay, being as you're never going to be gorilla pawing Right on the pad at the same time as you're ducking.

>>716455695
>they have to scam for a living
>have to
Maybe you should try getting a job.

>>716455618 (OP)
Even though I emulate a lot of games I still try to use controllers that match the system since I feel it adds a layer of authenticity (it's also just nice when the prompts match). For general purpose I'd lean towards the DS4 though, but its D-pad is worse than prior Dualshocks.

>>716455695
>have to scam for a living

>>716468531
>diagonals are important like Contra and Hollow Knight
Diagonals in 2D platformers barely matter, play a genre where diagonals really do matter like shmups

>>716468494
This controller is a classic and is viable for 4 generations of games. I picked up the chink knockoff on ebay for $10 and it didn't disappoint. Solid controller, perhaps best option if your game requires the second analog stick

>>716468606
What's the mouse wheel for? Arkanoid?

>>716468683
nah they matter

>>716468734
idk its a literal mouse wheel in the profiles I saw so probably mostly for weapon switching in fps games or camera zoom where applicable

>>716468672
Saar please understand sar

>>716468778
Meh, using it for Arkanoid sounds way more fun

>>716455618 (OP)
are hall effect sticks a meme or a must have?

>>716468863
Just increase the deadzone until the drift stops hurting

>>716468853
im sure that would work fine
if the paddle is controlled via mouse gyro might be more fun though

>>716468863
any new controllers without Hall Effect or TMR are kinda just saying they aren't willing to pay the few dollars it takes to have unkillable sticks
its not hard
they're just jews

>>716468863
Hall effect sticks do what they say they will, depending on the quality of the actual stick (PS Vita sticks were hall effect and still drifted because Sony's parts were garbage). Virtually any hall effect stick you can find will be acceptable quality these days.

TMR sticks are better on battery life for wireless controllers and have higher resolution, meaning they'll behave more like an ALPS potentiometer joystick. If you have an option then pick TMR.

>>716455618 (OP)

>>716469660
In my experience they're very good.

>>716464916
This and Hori Fighting Commander Octa are the only controllers that tries to give analog stick with the arcade stick feeling. The clicks when moving. I play fighting game with analog stick so my option is really limited. I like the Octa just fine but the thumbstick is really small. I wish there are more companies out there that makes these arcade stick analog for controllers.

>>716469768
It was a tough decision between gameboy and gamecube, but I went with gamecube as well.

>>716469768
My problem is the one on their website and the one on Amazon are slightly different colors. But that slight difference makes a huge difference to me, the left looks vastly better than the one on the right to me.

>>716469968

>>716469968
you know it might just be lighting

>>716455618 (OP)

>>716469841
I really want the Game Boy one as a lateral upgrade to the Game Boy Pro 2 I've got, but the buttons having legends on them kinda kills it for me, the actual Game Boy and the Pro 2 have the legends silkscreened next to the buttons in blue. I get it's because of the modular button layout but even so.

.

Quick question. Wired or Wireless?

>>716470465
doesn't actually matter these days if your bluetooth receiver doesn't suck or if your controller comes with a 2.4ghz wireless dongle

wired is cheaper

>>716470465
This >>716470606 also you don't play fps with controller, you play them with KB+M, wireless for comfort factor, wired if you're broke af

>>716465632
>>716469968
I'm so glad they didn't make the right stick yellow
It looks terrible on anything other than an actual gamecube controller

>>716455618 (OP)

>>716470938
They made the top of the sticks swappable so people will inevitably get whatever color they want.

Is it any good?

>>716462626
me too. That's why I have this one

>>716465632
I prefer the old "gameboy" buttons

Good morning, ESL-kun.

>>716471096
Unless you use gyro a lot through steam input, no.
You have a basic bitch gamepad with gyro and no vibration. The unique thing about it is that, like the Deck, it has capacitive thumbsticks, which makes gyro more usable. That's it. If you value that, go for it.

I have a modded Dualsense and I can't find a reason to use anything else new.
I already have TMR sticks. I already have quicker buttons. It's the only quiet gamepad I know. I already have some extended battery life. I was told to buy an 8bitdo gamepad, but last time I bought one (8bitdo SN30 Pro 2) I got laggy gyro and the d-pad was no better than the Dualsense (in fact I remember many people complaining about false diagonals on the Dualsense, I get false diagonals on both). If for some reason my Dualsense dies, which is something I can't see happening at this point, I don't know what to "upgrade" to.

>>716456056
Yeah I can attest to this. My 2C controller has this weird issue where the right trigger feels a tad loose whenever I press it and makes a creaky sound as if there was something broken inside. It really hasn't affected my overall experience playing games but it's quite noticeable at times.

For me it's the 8bitdo pro 2 Xbox ver.
Simple as

So what the difference between the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 with the charging dock included and 8BitDo Ultimate 2c without it?


Also if there's something better let me know, I'm looking to upgrade from a 6+ year old Xbone controller and I hate the Playstation stick layout.

>>716455767
I didn't like the fact I needed additional drivers, sometime even 3rd party for emu support with 8Bit, so I just got a GameSAAR and it just works out of the box with everything I needed.

>>716455618 (OP)

>>716466329
Inferior to what? GameSaar controllers are superior to official first-party controllers because they use hall-effect sticks and whatnot.

For me it's the gamesaar supernova
And the 8bitshart pro 2 for retro games
And the hori fighting commander octa for fightan

U2 has back paddles and TMR sticks

>>716475708
So U2 seems like the way to go, thanks.

Blitz 2 TMR.

I want this but wireless to play on my tv, but it doesn't exist

To anyone who ever had both a saturn controller and an 8bitdo M30:
Is it that big of a deal that the M30 has no pivot?
I thought of overspending and getting a saturn controller in decent condition and a DIY 8bitdo kit, but maybe that's not worth it at all.

Got this for 8€ at sale and it feels great for the price
My only complain is the texture itself that feels pretty slippery, and the R1-L1 buttons are too far and detached from R2-L2, but for 8 euro who cares

>>716456056
I owned the Ultimate Pro and the Ultimate C. The Pro developed bluetooth issues within a month, so I bought the C because of the dongle. After about 3 months the left stick started completely spazzing out so I binned it.

>>716476850
Oh and I should mention the d-pad on the C felt like shit. It was "clicky" but in a "tolerances are so bad it scrapes on the housing" clicky.

>>716471006
This and the NES Advantage are my favorite throwback controllers. The Sega Saturn controller that came with the system is one of my favorites as well.

>>716455618 (OP)

Xbox 360 controller, I barely use it though, I'd rather KBM if I can.

>>716468616

Not even poos wants to be borderline slaves

>>716477095
Or this one, keep switch between those two.

>>716477138
Official Xbox controllers always fail on me. I've had 4 and none of them work anymore. Bet my NES controller still works.

>>716455695
Good morning, gamesir!

>>716477265
Hold the fuck up
Is this actually any good?

>>716468683
>play a genre where diagonals really do matter like shmups
What? Shoot 'em ups are a terrible example. I used to play them with the X360's shitty D-pad and it hardly made a difference. A few frames of diagonal probably aren't gonna kill you.

Now, wall jumping in Super Metroid with that thing was fucking excruciating. The moment you press down your ascent is dead, and some of your lefts and rights are gonna be down

>>716477853
I like it. Maybe a little bit small but the D-pad has an actual pivot.

>>716478272
Fuckity fuck. I just bought an M30 a month ago. Oh well.
Are the L1/R1 and L2/R2 buttons mechanical or membrane?

>>716468863
TMR is the hall effect with accuracy

>>716469768
Gamecube its not even a question i got the pro1 with the ps1 colour scheme

>>716469968
its just the lightning they are using as i said in the other post i got the pro1 and it looks like the pics from the 8bit site compared to the amazon pics its exteremely bright

>>716478318
I think those are mechanical while face buttons are membrane. That's why I sometime switch to the Hori pad, I love the clicky sound/response fot fighting games.

I'm using it for flash cards in uni.

>>716477323
The only issue is...what do you call it I'm not sure, stick drift? That's about it, those controllers are older than some posters here though.

>>716479613
Connectivity failures and buttons becoming mushy are what killed my Xbox controllers. I only bought wired ones believe it or not. Why a wired controller has troubles connecting I will never know. I bought wired to specifically avoid that issue. Never had drift.

Got pic related for 11 eurobucks on Temu and I really like it so far. Really impressive for that price. I don't think anything else compare for symmetrical joystick controller.

>>716455695
To redeem is Brahman

>>716479706
Mine were wireless, I was playing games through an Xbox receiver, never had a wire and didn't have problems connecting unless funky drivers, which was fixable in a minute if you knew how.
Maybe I'm just a shitter, but I never could do combos with stick as it would hold direction I wasn't holding, sometimes it would get stuck in one direction and you had to move it with your thumb to unstuck.
Games like Sekiro are fine, but in DMC and fighting games I felt like it was gimping me. I dislike controllers in general desu, Dark Souls, ER, Nine Sols, AC6 etc, all completed on KBM, if I can, I will do that, if I feel like KBM is gimping me, like Sekiro, then I'll switch.

>>716455767
I bought two gamesir controllers and liked the quality and price so much I immediately bought a third one. It's hall effect sticks for like $30. What more can you ask for??
All my controllers are perfect over a year after purchase unlike my official Microsoft Xbox controllers which all broke in less than 6 months if not right out of the box

>>716480483
If they're so perfect why do you need three?

>>716480629
Two for the Xbox and one for my PC. They're in different rooms

>>716466556
> If you hold down to crouch and wiggle the dpad left and right. If you lose the crouch and start moving your dpad is shit because the diagonals are too easy to hit on accident
What? This is exactly how it should work. This same behavior happens if you try this with an original SNES controller. I'm actually not sure what controller wouldn't behave this way. What controller are you using that doesn't do this?

>>716471006
I still have mine, works great

>>716465632
its a straight downgrade from the pro 2.
cant do xinput mode with bluetooth only wired and the 2.4ghz dongle.
no buy if they dont fix that.

>>716455767
I've tested both. 8bitdo seem to have an unhealthy obsession with smaller sized controllers and completely vertical grips. It's the same problem I had with the Nintendo Switch Pro controller, they're not built for large hands and put me in pretty bad pain after just an hour of using them. Their back buttons are also placed in the most dogshit positions imaginable. GameSAAR overall is far more ergonomic both in general hand-feel and button placement, but wirelessly connecting to your PC can be a complete crapshoot because the driver support is fucking abysmal, not least of which being there are two different desktop apps both supporting differing controllers. My Tarantula is connected via cable, only way I could get it to work despite everything on my PC being wireless and having zero issues.

Everything you posted is shit.
Also I could use this as a flail to crack your head open and it would still be working.

>>716478272
what about the analog stick?

>>716482860
nobody cares about analog sticks

>>716464914

>>716458884
I have one of these in the box, it's trash.

Looking forward to the Pro 3 since I don't think the previous ones had 2.4g connection. I like the swappable buttons gimmick too. Lack of easily replacable battery is a shame though

>>716471608
I love mine but I just have a couple of gripes that would make it literally perfect.

>>716455767
recently bought an 8bitdo ultimate 2 and it's pretty neat. a bit small, but comfortable enough. customizable to a t, too. don't know anything about gamesaar, since i haven't heard anything about them at all.

>>716466392
I had 2 of those, one wirereless and another one wired. The wireless one got fried after a few months of use. Like the dongle was literally fried and was stuck permanently receiving certain inputs that the controller wasnt pressing.
The wired one also worked for only a few months then the left analog stick started to throw me off cliffs in games because it would detect completely wrong inputs for a single frame. Like, as you go fron 0 to forward for a microsecond it would detect full-right which would move you to the right, shit like that. I disassembled it to see what was going on inside and much to my horror the insides were barely held together, cheap as fuck, and something (i dont remember what) got ripped off in the process and i couldnt solder it back together (only time this has happened to me).
So yeah they're rancid dogshit, pretty much disposable ewaste after a bit of use, shame too because they even got pressure sensitive buttons and shit.
I also have an unrelated powerA android phone controller and it's fantastic, i camt use it anymore necause its old as fuck and it just cant connect to modern phones, but that one feels super good to use and is still in good conition. I dont know why this brand has such a chasm in quality between products

>>716485113
I'm curious about the Analog / Digital trigger mode switch.
When you're in Digital does it have some sort of click when pressed down? Or does it just limit the ability to puss down the trigger with no extra feedback?

>>716466956
You can dim it. Even turn it to 0% so it turns off. I run it at 10% and it's perfect for my eyes. I give it colors similar to playstation controller's button

>>716456539
you dont' have to keep your palms on the controller dumbass
