And while it's permanently wired, if you have a soldering iron and an $0.30 USB-C female port, you can upgrade it to a replaceable wire. The shell suggests it's supposed to be a USB-C controller and we just got its floor model first.

I'm guessing you're referring to the Tarantula Pro and yeah the rubber d-pad they gave it is leagues better than the microswitch d-pad on the Tarantula. The Tarantula Pro refreshes coming soon in orange and white Xbox tie-in will probably use a very similar d-pad.

It's just the M button but painted in "retro" colors because who the fuck knows why.
And the M button is how you do the custom gamepad thing like turbo and setting up the back buttons.

>>717057675
Backhanded reference to the SNES on a predominantly PS1 themed controller is the only thing I can guess at

Cool, been looking for a controller to use for roll sloppa games, the design reminds me of the ps1 and it's wired, which is a must for me

GX is the only one of those three that even vaguely has a use for them. That and Switch 2 does still support analog input but only over Gamecube controllers, which NSO offers a wireless repro of. Or just use a wired one you've got laying around from 20 years ago.

I bought this thing and I've never been happier with a gamepad.

>>717065665
I have two M30s, an early one and a recent Xbox one with 4 buttons on top.
I did that as well with the early model. I cannot with the new model because the hole is quite different. It sits too tight and the d-pad won't practically move once assembled. I don't know what the fuck they were thinking. I don't know if it "improves" on anything to change that. At least the buttons don't rattle as much.

>>717069079
There's no scam going, it's just a different type of technology being used. TMR is basically hall effect with higher resolution. People complained that some hall effect sticks weren't as precise, TMR is supposed to be the fix for that. They offer lower power consumption and lower latency, but in measures so small nobody gives a fuck really.

Steam controller 2 when

>>717069801
Also I might add, sure you can fit a smaller ball in there, but then it won't reach the board, so you will be still able to press on the whole d-pad (just less), making it not worth modding. But personally I've gotten used to no pivot.

>>717070012
>>717069801
And to add some more autistic facts, you can use the older model d-pad on the newer, but that doesn't fix the issue because somehow the way it's all put together, the distance between the piece where the ball sits and the board is ever so slightly different. It'll allow you to use the same size, but instead of not being able to move the d-pad, you'll only be able to move it to where directions stick at times, making it also worthless. I guess, if you take the newer d-pad and drill or sand that hole down with some precision, you can achieve the intended result, but no doubt not having to fucking do that is better.

While you're not 100% wrong, the bigger picture is we're in a really weird place right now where 3rd party controllers are hyper-competitive with 1st party controllers, whether it's price point or features. I've yet to replace my DS4 for my PC but when I do, it'll probably be from some chink brand offering premium features at 1/3rd the price it would be from the big 3

>>717073734
Xbox layout IMO is much easier to use in games where the d-pad does secondary yet vital things. Helldivers 2 is a prime example, way easier to just shift your right thumb over to the d-pad on the Xbox layout, whereas on a Playstation layout your right hand has to go up and over.

>>717073813

Shooters on a controller are suffering for me.
If the game requires me to constantly move the right analog, I'm better off with mouse and keyboard, since I can control the camera and have access to 4+ buttons at the same time.

>>717074376
They're not keyboard switches, they're mouse button switches. They simply feel better and snappier than the membrane buttons.

>Nova 2 Lite

>>717073283
>So what's a good cheap* hall effect controller
8bitdo Ultimate 2 (Wireless not Bluetooth) is the value king at the moment if you want a fully featured controller for PC that is all around solid, has TMR sticks, and native Steam input. What's the benefit of steam input support, you might ask? It lets you assign the four extra buttons to anything you want through the steam client, including keyboard shortcuts.

I've been using this for over a year. Perfect hall effects and It's $35 rn.

>>717074449
Honestly EU should crack down on this shit and force every brand to make gamepad batteries easier to replace. I'm not even asking for AA on everything, just have a hatch on the back so you can pull the internal battery out without having to disassemble the whole thing.

>>717078684

got the tarantula pro and the dpad is complete ass because they put fucking plastic nubs in all the diagonal directions for some fucking reason. really dont get why they'd do it but it makes diagonal inputs impossible unless you press hard. it would actually be so good if not for these nubs but after seeing how to tear it down to get to them and cut them off somehow, i aint doing all that

the rest of the pad is insanely good and I use it for everything else
will get the OP though since its dirt cheap and I need more hall effect stick pads

>>717069432

the pad you show looks nice but

>>717080080
Oh hey, thanks for answering.

Seems like a weird choice. Dpad Diagonals still remain such a obnoxious issue when it comes to controllers. You get either shit like this, or crap like the phantom presses on 8BitDo's products.
Still seems like this Tegenaria Lite would be good to have around. It's 20 bucks, not exactly going to break the bank here.

>>717080658

>>717080849

Does symmetric/asymmetric really make that much of a difference?

Are the flydigi controllers any good?

I play marvel 2 on a ultimate 2c
I'm not buying this thing.

>>717080080
Does that really affect diagonals? It's part of the shell, and their d-pad shape doesn't interact with it at all.

>>717054521 (OP)
Goddammit I remembered having one of their controllers back in 2018/19 and it had joystick drift within 6 months. Guess chinks could improve if they wanted to.

>>717076441
I really wish they would, as dumb as it is, it's the only reason I stick with other brands.

Related to the topic but I will never understand 6 button lovers I mean look at the angles for the thumbs

>>717081139
Just get a DS4, my launch unit from 2013 still works perfectly. It probably needs a new battery but I only use it in wired mode, so I don't care.

>>717085764
Yep, it unfortunately does.
The dpad gets stuck on those so if you try to input diagonal you'll get either if the 2 directions but not both. Unless you press it really hard so it registers.

I play FGs and lots of 2D platformers, some of which require diagonal movement for specific stuff. First off, in any FG I tried, I couldn't get qcf/qcb etc comfortably. Then in platformers I also had to consciously press hard to get the input and suffered when jump + diagonal was needed.

>>717083853
I like my Vader 4 Pro a lot, I've seen hardcore controller people say that it has some latency issues but I can't tell at all. Just keep that in mind and do research on it if you're sensitive to it. But it's built so well and I love being able to adjust the tension of the sticks without any tools or taking the thing apart. I think I saw there's a Vader 5 or a new Apex coming soon, maybe check in on that if you're considering pulling the trigger on something like the Vader 4.

I hate the brand name and indians but I got the controller in, it feels comfy and for $20 it seems great. The PS color scheme looks very cool. I'm gonna play something with it tonight and see how I really like it. I'd pay an extra $3-$5 for a detachable cable if this ends up not having any major issues.

>>717054521 (OP)
I love the design but I really like gyro aim for shooters. Hopefully they add it down the road.

>>717054521 (OP)
How good is the d-pad, though?

Anyone use a RetroFighters gamepad? I like their modernized-retro-controllers gimmick, but the site doesn't mention Hall Effect sticks anywhere.

>>717086870
im pretty sure they made a newer version of that very contorller which has them

>>717073073
The design (ergonomics?) for 8bitdo controller's are typically really good, but the build quality could be a lot better, I've broken the rear shoulder buttons twice with the pro2. Their snes controllers are a bit better because there's less to break and it's a generally sturdy design. They've had issues with software in the past too if I recall correctly, apparently a good few people managed to brick their controllers somehow because of it. Customer support/returns is pretty good, but they expect you to pay for your own shipping to send it to them (they don't ask money to ship it back to you at least) and depending on where you live there's a good chance you have to send it overseas which costs a bit.

>>717086935
Yeah, but it's got those low-poly analog stick cutouts, so it's not versatile as the original. FPS games are a crapshoot on the original GC controller.

>>717086870
Oh wow that looks great

>>717086128
Apex 5 is what's coming up next. I'd love for them to do a Vader 5 Pro tho so we don't have to break the bank.

"Tunnel MagnetoResistance" sticks are a higher res, lower power draw implementation of hall effect sticks.

>>717083623
Preference/comfort but symmetric layouts are better for 2D games since, fundamentally, it's a SNES pad with two sticks on bottom.

>>717079273
>>plastic notches/octagonal gate around the left control stick for precise 3d movement
Doesn't that make it less precise if you only have 8 directions

>>717091137
I do, on a stick.
On a stick you play with your hands on top. A controller you're holding with both hands. If you do the stupid shit you do on a stick with your right hand you have nothing but your left hand to hold the controller, it's stupid as fuck. If you have to keep the controller on your lap to keep it stable, might as well buy a fucking stick. Hell you just have to use 2 fingers to do 3 button combos, how difficult is that shit?

>>717092354
>I do, on a stick.
Then you have absolutely nothing to do with the 6 button conversation.

>>717092414
Alright, have it your gimped, retarded way, I guess.

>>717092298
No. An octagonal gate doesn't remove any analog function from the stick, it just adds notches to the plastic outer shell so you can direct the movement precisely which makes it more accurate to control in 3D space.

It's useful for me specifically in old platformers and especially in Zelda where Goron rolling has to be done in an exact direction during certain points in the game and a smooth ring has never allowed me to actually complete those segments comfortably.

I'm gonna be blunt; I'll never buy anything from this company simply because the name reminds me of Indians, and Indians are fucking repugnant.

>>717075086
mouse button switches are a bad idea, I have a controller with those and it started double clicking after not even a year of use, I especially love playing racing games and shifting from 3rd to 5th completely nuking my torque

>>717076441
2 mindbroken schizophrenics are not enough of a loss for them to change name.

>>717092839
>mouse button switches are a bad idea
I agree. All third party controllers use them now (even when face buttons are membrane, they have mechanical bumpers), so there are no good controllers on the market.

>>717092870
>realizing that "meme magicians" never left and there's people who don't buy things they want because it reminds them of upcycled /int/ memes

That's fine, I'll enjoy my gamesaar t4k controller for $30-40 that has minimal issues while you pay $80+ for 1st party or overpriced 3rd party controllers.

>>717065931
This. India hate is a psyop and makes no sense from a nationalist perspective

1. Indians are basically Europeans with dark skin. Same bone structure, hair, personality, intelligence, etc
2. Indian and European culture have ancient Indo-European links and are still compatible in modern times
3. Indian numbers are needed to fight Aryan enemies like muslims and chinese
4. Indian women are mostly trad and pleasant and cook good food
5. Indians are rarely hated in real life, only online
6. Racist incels like (you) are jelly that white women love us
7. We are responsible for every single vidya. All the western and eastern devs always ask us to help them with their games and we are the reason why vidya is successful and is a multi billion dollar company
8. When you are shitposting about us you are literally doing it off the hard work of Indians. Hypocrisy
9. See point #5, you are probably Dalit

>>717093508
Xbox controllers are like $50

>>717093702
And I don't want to pay extra when I bought this gamesaar and do not redeem because it's just a good fucking controller and don't let autism control my decisions.

>>717093702
NTA but those don't have Hall effect sticks.

>>717093702
The official series X/S gamepads normally go for $65 to $70 depending on the color option.

i don't get why every other controller manufacturer do convex stick caps when dome caps are vastly superior

>>717054521 (OP)
>symmetrical sticks

Is it the t4 nova lite?

I'm not buying a controller named Gamesir
Such a fucking shit name.

>>717094307
>posts /g/'s chris-chan

>>717094273
Chasing Sony/Microsoft stick style, mostly. For the first parties it might also be a matter of tiny cost cutting because convex stick caps need taller sticks for the same range of motion. PS1, PS2 and PS3 stick caps are quite tall because of how big the stick toppers are for a similar range of motion to modern controllers.

If you want domed sticks on pretty much any modern controller, look at Extremerate's Dualsense Edge stick cap clones, they include tall and short dome toppers same as with the DSE accessories box.

>>717058536
Buddy these brands have been around for awhile what the FUCK are you talking about?

>>717054798
>why didn't x took off?

>>717094273
I prefer convex, nice to rest thumb on and if you go to the edge, your thumb can wrap around the convex shape
with rounded ones I feel like you're fully relying on the texture for grip and the texture fades

>>717094497
yeah i already did that
domes are simply much more comfortable, and i'm sure the way you apply force on a convex cap also have to do with controllers wearing faster

>>717094908
Off the top of my head it's a combination of L3/R3 buttons being bad for stick durability, shunting off calibration or automatic calibration to the console OS instead of an inbuilt feature of the controller (the PS2 controller in particular has an extremely robust auto-calibration pretty much any time it's powered on and you move the sticks around), and parts are simply less durable than they were in the 90s and '00s.

>>717093575

>>717065931
Good morning saar

>>717095025
>Off the top of my head it's a combination of L3/R3 buttons being bad for stick durability
i play some of the few games that actively use L3/R3 and my PS2 controllers are fine so i don't think that's it

>>717054521 (OP)
i like the tarantula

>>717095025
>>717095503
L3/R3 don't matter at all, the mechanism that allows the stick to move vertically doesn't interact with the pots.

>>717095937
Are you sure? I wanted to get a controller with extra buttons just to map L3/R3 to them.

>>717095937
figured so

How good are these controllers really? Are third party controllers still trash?
I still have my DS4 and Steam controller. I also have iBuffalo SNES controller which is just like a original SNES controller and it was only $10

>>717095656
my condolences on the d-pad

>>717077981
that's just L1 and R1 but shittier.

>>717096436
>Are third party controllers still trash?
Not as bad as they used to, still not as good as first party other than the sticks.

>>717096436
Third party controllers haven't been irredeemable garbage since the Xbone/PS4 days
Buttons and d-pads tend to be a bit of a toss-up but they're still not controllers you'd only give your little brother like they used to, some are competitive with old Nintendo and Sony offerings in feel and accuracy, 8bitdo in particular is trending towards Playstation Vita or GBA SP styled membrane-over-dome switch d-pads in recent years

>>717093702
You'd be lucky to find a used one for that price.
The reason why chinks are dominating high-tier gamepads is that every major manufacturer is actively trying to jew you. They're selling "elite" gamepads for hundreds of dollars with features that every single 30-dollar chinkpad has, yet no one ever thinks of using Hall effect sticks because they would be too reliable, and these gamepads are meant to wear down and break, even the "elite" ones. They'd rather come up with retarded magnetic stick replacement modules and sell them to you for a premium.
If you respect yourself, don't buy first-party gamepads.

>>717097640
Hall effect and TMR are better, but what about other components?

>>717097728
Same or better usually. Mechanical vs. rubber is entirely based on preference. Tegenaria Lite at $20 is made of sturdier feeling plastic than the Dualshock 4 was at $50 brand new.

It does have some minor latency issues but nothing noteworthy, pretty much in line with the better manufacturers out there and the hardware itself is top notch and made to last.

Gamesir is pretty great as far as Chinese gaming stuff companies go, they really don't deserve to be associated with jeet memes just because "sir" is part of their stupid probably-translated name. That's practically giving the jeets credit for competent changwork.

>>717093702
the xsex controller is almost perfect but 2/3 of mine have stick drift. even if they were only $50 that's still a lot of money for a shit product

>gamesaar
nope thanks

>>717099381
I just wish other controllers had removable batteries.

>>717099213
I'm just saying it's ridiculous that you're trying to market to me a product that requires soldering to be decent. I'd rather pay $40 for a full product than pay $20 for something that I need to finish manufacturing at home.

But the weird part is that you're describing the soldering gimmick as if it was a feature of the controller. "It even lets you solder it!!". Really?

If it's so cheap and easy why don't they solder it at the factory?

>>717099381
I love mine
If it can last more than a year it'll do better than my previous dualsense

>>717099569
replaceable wire is a weird dealbreaker it's part of the controller being cheap that it doesn't have that

What is not jewed, chinked or pajeeted in the current year?

Wish I'd known about this one when I was shopping for a cheap chinkshit controller.
I got a PDP XBone clone controller, but I generally prefer the look and feel of a Playstation controller.

I got an old PS4 controller floating around, but DS4Windows never seems to really work that well, that or the controller itself is worn out, or both together.
The camera control never feels right in Elden Ring, for example.

>>717099726
Pretty much nothing as of the past 25 years, Nintendo was one of the last holdouts for Made In Japan and they were already shifting to outsourced manufacture during the Nintendo 64.

>>717096084
Positive. White wiper on the right for the pot sensor doesn't move at all when pressing the stick in.

The 8bitdo ultimate has been serving me really well. I love the dock.

>>717099767
consume new product

>>717083623
I tend to like Asymmetric just because it is more comfy for my left hand, and I can claw grip the right side if I need a finger on a face button and a thumb on the stick still.
The WiiU controller was the most comfy, but you couldn't claw grip to control the right stick and face buttons at once.

>>717074128
Same for the Supernova
I don't feel the need of the faceplate/swappable button shit, but having a Hall sticks controller that works between PC and both Switches and has its own classy compact dock below 50 bucks is a steal

>>717100885
Rubber membrane d-pad, feels most like a Dualshock 4 d-pad or a less "grainy" 8bitdo Pro 2 d-pad.

>>717054521 (OP)
That looks pretty good for $20

>>717102571
I've seen the white-pink model $20 off several times
It's funny to me that they've had to repeatedly discount that one on a controller with swappable faceplates
