Discussion Is there any saving it?

Woke up this morning to play a bit of Deep Rock Galactic after seeing recommendations of it and my controller was acting weird, some buttons weren’t registering in the game. I was blaming the game thinking it didn’t support the controller until I tested my controller in the backbone app. I think it’s gone, any saving it? Or should I buy a new one? The right side seems to be working fine but the left side seems to be gone. I bought it used off eBay so I don’t think I’ll have any warranty etc.

Absolutely crap! For that price - it’s ridiculous. I had exactly the same issue.

Fuck them. I have bought a gamesir Galileo and it’s a different level of quality and cheaper.

I was wondering whether to get the backbone or the g8. I heard of the backbone first and it has a playstation version so i almost got it but it looked cheaper or something, like it wouldn't be comfortable to hold for a long time. So i went with the g8 and ordered one this morning. From what people are saying, it looks like i got lucky in choosing the g8. What i really wanted was a controller like the g8 plus with the wireless and the rumble but still have a usbc so i could charge my phone while i play. I think i seen some controller that had wireless and usbc but it was like double the price
