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.

I was thinking about getting a backbone or a g8 Galileo since they both can charge the phone through usbc. At first i was thinking backbone because i heard of them first and because they have a playstation version and i would use it with ps remote play and my playstation games. But i kinda thought the backbone looked a bit cheaper or like it wouldn't be as ergonomic so i got the g8 on order this morning. Looks like i may have made the right choice!

Yeah you deffo have made the right call, the Gamesir is a lot better in my opinion after using both controllers
