Thread 720193602

My favorite controller, it's so good.

>SNES style face buttons
Trash. It should be a square, not a rectangle

how does the magnetic key replacement thing work?
does it feel sturdy or like flimsy garbage?

Did they fix this shit having >20ms latency

>>720193813
they plop in and hold well for me.
they come with a little magnetic plunger thing to remove them.
the buttons are very loud though. especially when you release the clacking is way louder than in other pads. I think thats because of this magnetic gimmick.
I think it wouldve been better without it, but I do like having SNES color buttons.

>>720193602 (OP)
I really do not understand the point of swappable buttons.
Do motherfuckers really look down at their controller to see which button they are pressing??

>>720196574
some retards seem to be extremely anal about that.
I just like these colors which come with no letters at all.

>>720193813
Sturdy

But if you wiggle it enough without the magnetic thing i tcan come off

there's a notch thing that sets it in place

>>720193602 (OP)
Its a great pad and the one I will use the most now.
Perfect shape, really good d-pad, trigger lock is HUGE and so is the dongle and charging dock.

Only flaws are the loud long travel face buttons and the analogs are pretty damn mediocre shape and texture wise. Can probably fix that with a rubber cover just gotta figure out which one fits.

>>720196735
>really good d-pad
it really might just be a skill issue on my part that I get up input whenever I do qcf

>>720193602 (OP)
I love the look of it, but I've become too reliant on the extra function buttons to switch from pic related

>>720196719
post a pic of your controller with a timestamp

But can it wake up my Switch 2?

No...

>>720193602 (OP)
How is this different functionally from the pro 2?

>>720196828
>I've become too reliant on the extra function buttons
what do you use them for?

>>720196820
works on my machine, but I mostly play fighters with stick anyways.
the general issue with D-pad talk and recommendations is that its incredibly subjective because everybody holds and uses the d-pad a little bit differently.

>>720197060
EX moves in fighting games

>>720197064
kinda tired of gaycube purple at this point.
my latest chinkheld is purple too.

>>720196719
this will literally never happen.

>>720196859
>this kills the 8shitdo thread

diagonal issues
dropped inputs when holding down triggers
bad case geometry and centre seashaw
bad dpad feel
absurdly loud facebuttons for some reason

there is absolutely 0 chance these threads are natural and if you buy one you deserve to play on thrash that only looks good

>>720197127
>playing fightan
I regret asking

>fucking everyone, EVERYONE insists these controllers have the best d-pad of all time
>it's fucking shit
I hate you lying niggers.

Anyone have experience with pic related? I bought it to play Melee on my PC

>>720196828
The extra buttons really are handy, even if they are in less than ideal places. I do wish the two rear buttons were back triggers instead though.

>>720193602 (OP)
I got the GameSAAR G7Pro recently, fantastic controller. Rubber grips, extra buttons on the back and the top, 8bitdo style controller dock with the dongle inside, and three different d-pad styles. My only gripe is the cross pattern d-pad is just... open? Like it leaves the inside of the gamepad exposed. Do not like that one bit.

>>720197142
>no date
not a timestamp

>>720196828
That plastic looks cheap as fuck

>>720197202
They're just like those chink handheld threads: pure marketing.

>>720197250
maybe you just have shit taste and crippled hands

>>720197632
NTA but I have it, trust me when I say it only "looks" cheap, it's a very well built controller. The only reason I had to give mine back is because it wouldn't play ball with my PC for some dumb reason. Neither the dongle nor the Bluetooth option seemed to work, and I didn't want to be tethered with a cable. That's why I shifted to >>720197513

>>720197250
They're shills (paid marketers) please understand

>>720197632
it feels premium as hell but the design is tacky as fuck.
I returned mine because I didnt like the d-pad.

>>720197250
>everyone, EVERYONE
never have I said that because I don't have that controller
you might suffer from low IQ

ive yet to find a controller with a dpad i really like

>>720197632
Personally I love the feel of the materials on the tarantula, the entire front has a metal plate and the controller is nice and heavy

I like my tarantula. It meets my needs.

>>720197117
yea this is probably just an extreme skill issue for me and i need to really clean up my inputs

>>720197842
maybe you just dont like d-pads.

>>720197779
the dpad is perfect for jrpgs (which is all i play)

>>720198016
yeah its great if you exclusively want to press cardinals. probably the best ever made for that.
sadly I need it for diagonals too.

>>720197258
Fool.

>>720193602 (OP)
>mogs you

>>720198095
I have the one that's shaped like a snes controller. Love the hall effect sticks.

For me, it's the Saar Supernova

>>720198072
why? I looked at some reviews and the things people complained about were:

>120Hz polling rate
>defective face button microswitches
>compatibility issues with original hardware

The only thing that could be an issue for me out of those would be the defective face buttons, but it was $30 on aliexpress so I figured it's worth a shot even if I have to crack it open to fix the switches eventually.

As a big racism fan hall effect triggers are a real blessing for sensitivity as the mechanical stress of (generally) the right trigger being pressed so much loosens the spring tension due to simple wear yet responsiveness and sensitivity is kept. Even more so if said controller has software that can set the actuation point so the veeeery tiniest touch at the start of the pressure curve can be turned into a deadzone if needed.

>>720198095
Only issue I had was ffxiv after a while the sticks would stop working but only in the up-right direction. Was weird thought it was defective but it only did it in ffxiv. Turns out there was a stick sensitivity setting in xiv and turning it up to max fixed it. No idea why it did that.

I do like the ability to customize extra buttons in Steaminput. It's great.

>>720198426
i've never touched these extra buttons.

>>720198507
For me I use them for Screenshot, and certain extra tasks in games like FFXIV. Honestly I will also mention that having an Xbox controller sucks even a 3rd party one because both no matter how much you turn gamebar off on Windows even uninstall it, it will take a screenshot on Steam and Gamebar will show itself again.

>>720198329
big racism fan too

>>720198095
I went through four of these because every single one developed double d-pad input. I don't want to hear "stop mishandling your controllers." I never throw them, never drop them, never mistreat them in anyway.

>PS2 controller from 2002 still works
>OG Xbox controller from 2004 still works
>Xbox 360 controller from 2007 still works
>PS3 controller from 2008 still works

Yet the XSX controller shat its pants so many times I ended up going shifting to SAAR DO NOT REDEEM THE GAME controllers.

>>720198270
This is a shilling thread for 8bitdo and gamesir, not an actual controller discussion thread

>>720193602 (OP)
I got this to upgrade from my 360 wired controller, playing Silksong on it feels great. Using the dpad only and diagonals are very reliable, I also use the rapid switch on L2/R2 for quicker dashes.
The face buttons are loud, that's my only complaint.

>>720199245
I hope they revise the memegnetic buttons I dont think that feature is important enough to justify the loudness of them.
If they do address this in a revision I will start stockpiling these pads because its great otherwise.

>>720198262
Doesnt this have shit triggers and lots of input lag?
Why would anyone get this instead of the saar cyclone 2

>>720196952
That is my big problem to. No Switch 2 wake up is a dealbreaker

>>720193602 (OP)
buy an ad

>>720197513
>My only gripe is the cross pattern d-pad is just... open?
It is retarded. Still you can get a regular G7 faceplate and put it on the pro thus solving the regular dpad issue.

>>720199912
That rubber looks like it's going to wear away if you breathe on it too hard

>>720200128
Which one? Side grips are not rubber but plastic and the stick caps somehow hold pretty well.

>>720200128
As always when talking about GameSAAR, looks are deceiving. Their shit always feels premium.

>>720199245
i upgraded to this from the Ultimaye 2 from also a 360 wired controller, i was playing dbfz pretty okay on the 360 and both of these had dpads that were not for unclean input boomers like me

ITT gamesir and 8bitdo marketers argue with each other.

The swapable buttons for Pro 3 breaks.

Can you defend this?

>>720200561
how did this happen

>>720200541
It's really obvious because they always use the same images

>>720200561
works on my machine

im waiting for steam controller 2 if ever comes out

>>720201110
What is the deal with those thumbstick caps?

>>720196663

FUCK I should have waited like a month, got the ultimate 2 and the nintendo button layout drives me mental.

Can't even swap them because the button holes have unique ridges for each button.

Chinkshit is chinkshit. Get some standards.

>>720193602 (OP)
How well does it support linux?

>>720200561
If you use a hammer I guess they break.

>>720201345
China numba one nigga.
They actually make the better products now.

>>720201110
random aliexpress trash, mainly for microsoft flight simulator, makes precise inputs easier, at least for me, but now im using it without caps playing first hollow knight and its fine

>needing fisher price bright happy colors on a controller you're not even looking at when you're using it
What the fuck is wrong with you

8bitdoodoo has absolute trash d-pads and drifty shitty sticks

>dogshit dpad
Try again chinkshitdo

>>720201884
>>720201901
at this point i cant disagree anymore
what do i get if i want a good dpad

>>720201345
Official shit is Chink shit built to the lowest possible standard.

>>720201345
retarded

>>720201884
wrong

we need more modular controllers where you can not only swap out the stick and buttons, but also the triggers.

>>720200561
Stop handling your electronics like a giga nigga retarded gorilla.

Why is it so fucking hard for companies to even make a half decent dpad? It's like a lost art at this point. Even Nintendo, who perfected it, can't even do it anymore.

>>720203018
It isn't 1999 anymore uncle, dpads are not a major control method and as such only exist for menuing.

>>720200561
>the buttons breaks
Have you tried not being brown Pablo?

A challenger appears.

>>720193602 (OP)
does it have gyro

>>720203018
>Even Sega, who perfected it, can't even do it anymore.
ftfy, otherwise check out hori fighting commander octa, it has a good dpad and I use it for any 2d game except fightan because I got an arcade stick for that

>>720193602 (OP)
Did they improve the ergonomics from the Pro 2?
It just doesn’t feel comfortable to me
The ultimate 2 feels much better to me but then I lose symmetrical sticks

>>720203181
I don't understand the accent lighting shit. You're not looking at the controller while you're playing, so all it really does is just pointlessly drain the battery.

>>720203669
It's made for the rgb generation, at least you can turn it off.

>>720203669
They're not for you, they're for the guys watching your stream. Same with rgb keyboards, rgb mousepads, rgb headsets, etc.
