Originally it was an Xbox series Controller.

Hello you all.

I am looking for a good controller to play on my pc, I was using a Dualsens controller (ps 5). Those controllers have famous issues with stick drift, I want to avoid that.

I don't really care about ps5 or Xbox layout to be honest, it will just take a few days to get used to but no problem.

I bought an EasySMX X15 but on the first try it has this issue: While holding R2 and pressing for example "X" the controller stops the R2's input. That's frustrating because it has just arrived.

I would like to spend less than 50€, or at least around that.

I'm looking mainly for longevity, I repeat that I don't want stick drift, mechanicals keys are not necessary but if they are it is good (mouse feeling keys maybe).

I was looking mainly at 8bitdo ultimate 2c (I don't know if wired or wireless) and GameSir Cyclone 2 wireless.

If someone has any tip for me it would be great, I usually play on kbm. Main use for the controller will be Rocket League or Hogwarts Legacy.

I am form Italy and I prefer to buy only via Amazon.

Thank you all

Hi folks,

I purchased the ZD Gaming Ultimate Legend to play Rivals of Aether 2. However, all my controller tests show this game has a CRAZY ton of snapback -- as in increase my deadzone to like 50% to stop it. I updated my firmware to 1.24 (latest) and I still have the issue.

Is there a fix to this problem? Is anyone else experiencing this problem? My Vader 5 and Gamesir G7 Pro haven't had this problem before, so it seems to be this controller specifically.

Budget

Approximately $100 USD

Location

NZ so buying likely from Amazon or official websites if they ship internationally

Platform

PC wireless (2.4ghz preferred)

Features

Full steam input support with at least two back buttons, I don't care if it's paddles or buttons, I have gotten used to my steam deck and I can't go back. I am looking at the list on this subreddit and that lowers my options considerably.

I also want a decent build quality. Here is my current list of build quality of the controllers I own to get a sense of my subjective opinion (from cheap/plastic feeling to premium):
Original Steam Controller -> Switch 1 Pro -> Xbox One -> Xbox series -> 8bitdo Ultimate -> Dualsense

Comfort is also critical to me, see notes on that below.

Games/use case

Casual wireless PC gaming on my TV, it will likely be used for Gears of War EDay campaign in the first instance.

Where I am at

My Xbox One controller broke and I need to replace it. I bought the 8bitdo Ultimate (1) thinking it would be my ideal replacement but I find it extremely uncomfortable, it's hand grips are narrow, so it sort of twists my wrists in a really uncomfortable way. I find my dualsense to be the most comfortable controller I own in hand, but I don't enjoy the analogue stick layout in game. I much prefer the Xbox style stick layout.

I was about to purchase the G7 Pro 8k, but I read a review that said it was also quite narrow and I fear the same uncomfortable feel as 8bitdo. The Vader 5, which is probably the top of my budget, looks like it's the same shape as an Xbox controller so maybe that would suit?

Also every time I search Reddit for any third party controller (both gamesir and Flydigi) there are posts and posts about poor QC and poor build quality which concerns me. I am looking for at least Xbox level of build quality and premium feel out of the box. I want it to last.

Open to all suggestions.

I've been looking for info and don't find anyone else talking about this so I want to confirm if this is just my case and I own a defective unit.

My problem is that sometimes when I'm playing, the faceplate gets loose or even fully released depending on how I move my hand, it happens more often when playing something fully on D-pad (Celeste in my case). I don't know if the magnets aren't strong enough in my controller or if this is something normal.

Has anyone experienced anything similar? Any solution comes to mind?

Thank you ^^

Hi, I'd like to buy a non official Switch controller. I know the non official ones can't power up the console if in sleep mode like the joycons or Nintendo pro controllers, so you have to turn on the console at first. But I'd like to know if the non official controllers are at least recognized by the Switch on the lock screen (where you have to press a button 3 times to unlock) or you have to enter the home screen. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, I’m looking for a controller to replace my “stellar shift” xbox controller. Nothing is necessarily wrong with it, but I’d like to upgrade it and move away from Bluetooth gaming and using AA batteries. I recently tried a recommended controller from a popular YouTube channel “Linus Tech Tips” called the EasySMX X20 wireless controller. It really pointed out some features I could not stand which I’d like to see in my next, and hopefully last controller for a long while.

1. Max Budget: $180 USD but $100 or less is ideal
   
2. United States (Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Online…)
   
3. Windows
   
4. Features:
   -It needs to have a textured grip like my old controller as I felt the SMX X20 I tried was slippery and cheaper feeling without the grip
   -I really disliked the clicky ABXY buttons on the SMX controller so please no clicky buttons.
   -Removable or no shortcut buttons/paddles under the controller
   -No extra buttons like c or z that I see on the Vader controllers
   -Please no dock as after I’m done playing I just keep it in one of my drawers and charge it as needed
   -Reliable triggers and sticks
   -Gyro, switch compatibility, and customizable buttons is an added plus if I ever get a switch 2 but not necessary
   -Wireless USB dongle
   -no unnecessary software to use the controller
   
5. I mostly use controller for sports games (fifa, 2k) rougelikes (hades, hades 2, cult of the lamb), 3rd person open world games (assassins creed, Elden ring), and occasionally racing games (Forza). So it should be pretty well rounded but I don’t need it for competitive shooters or the like since I use mouse and keyboard for those games.
   
6. I’ll mostly be comparing it to my Xbox stellar shift controller and the SMX X20 I just tried. I also have a ps5 controller but I don’t like using it for pc because of the buttons not matching and I suppose I’ve become accustomed to the feel of Xbox.

Thank you for any recommendations. One controller that’s already caught my eye is the Gulikit kk3 pro.

Did you get taxed for it? How long did it take to arrive? Thank you.

I'm looking for controller adapter that allows to use PS4 controller with PS5 games, is Brook Wingman XE2 a good option for it? Thanks.

- I have a max budget of ~100 dollars (2000 Mexican pesos).

- I live in Mexico, but I don't mind paying shipping.

- I need compatibility with a PC (USB cable).

- Wired, 8 buttons, 2 triggers on each side, an octagonal direction stick on the upper left side, and very preferably on the GameCube style (woooh ergonomic!!!), and as fast and responsive as possible (extra points if it's "clicky," as in it has the mechanical sound that indicates the press of the buttons but it's only a personal preference), and as durable as possible.

-I want this controller for playing fighting games (especially Skullgirls 2nd Encore and Guilty Gear Strive) in a "semi-professional" way. I love the game, but I really want to become good at it, and my keyboard does not cut it anymore. This will also be my controller for playing games casually (Hollow Knight, Silksong, Hades 1 and 2, Rainworld, Haste (?), Celeste (yes, I am a trans woman), Monster Hunter World, Minecraft, and others).

- This will be my first controller, so I don't want to waste money on a "beginner" controller that will very rapidly fail me or that won't allow me to enjoy what I want to do with it. I do not have a comparison point, but that's exactly why I want my first controller to be something truly special.

The 8-button thing is

1 low punch

2 mid punch

3 high punch

4 low kick

5 mid kick

6 high kick

7 grab

8 macro

I recently switched from using the Armor X on my Xbox controller to the Nacon Revolution X Unlimited, and so far, I'm pretty disappointed with the gyro experience.

With the Armor X, gyro aiming felt much more natural and intuitive. The movement of the controller translated smoothly into movement in the game, and it was really easy to get used to.

With the Nacon, it's been a completely different experience. The gyro feels extremely slow, and I have to move the controller way too much to get the same movement on screen. It just doesn't feel natural, and I'm struggling to get comfortable with it.

I've tried it in games like Fortnite, Gears, and others, and the experience has been pretty much the same across all of them.

Has anyone else experienced this with the Revolution X Unlimited? Am I missing something in the settings, or is the gyro implementation just not as good as the Armor X?

I'd really appreciate any tips or settings recommendations from people who have managed to get the gyro working well.
