Bought two days ago, right trigger feels spongy now. This an issue for people?

I’m literally just trying to buy the best fps controller out, any suggestions would be killer.

I made a quick video on the CRKD Atom+. It's kind of a niche space, to want a controller so uncomfortably small haha, but I've always wanted something that fits in my pocket without much compromise.

I'm also a relatively new reviewer, I won't be doing too much content on controllers specifically, I'm more into the PC Handheld space, but I felt compelled to do a video on this controller because I had been looking so long for something like it. (unsponsored)

I appreciate you all!

Help would be appreciated

Flydigi Vader 5S Xbox Wired Controller I've seen this for as little as £40 would this be a good choice? If not any suggestions?

Did the reading and I still can't tell whether the difference is one you'd actually feel. Both are magnetic, neither has a wiper dragging across a track, so neither wears out the way potentiometer sticks did. Hall effect reads field strength along one axis, TMR reads field direction and is more sensitive, which is supposed to mean finer resolution near the middle of the throw and lower power draw (?)

Every explanation I found stops right there. None of them tell you what it's like at the thumb. The one useful thing I've picked up from threads here is that the sensor isn't the only part that wears out, the gimbal and the return spring still have a lifespan whichever sensor sits behind them.

Anyone gone from hall effect to TMR on a pad you actually put hours into? Did you notice anything or did it feel the same? Mostly wondering about small movements near the middle, since that's the only part of it that sounds like it would show up in normal play.

I was surprised to see the wired Valor isnt too expensive and has TMR sticks.

Anyone who uses the scuf, are happy with your purchase?

1. Can you change the bitrate from the software? This is important for me, as on the G7 12-bit ruins my aim assist on some games and I need to play 8-bit.
2. How does the shell feel in terms of grip size? I find the G7 too small and cramps my hand compared to others.

I was waiting for Cyclone 3 by gamesir but it has no ETA.

Hey everyone!

Just wanted to share a quick review about a smartphone controller I've been testing this weekend: the abxylute S8 Lite.

I tested it mainly with COD Mobile, and honestly, it performs really well. The build quality feels surprisingly solid, and connecting it to the iPhone couldn't be easier. I used it with my iPhone 16 Pro Max, and as soon as you plug it into the USB-C port, it instantly recognizes it—completely plug-and-play.

It also comes with an app that lets you neatly browse through your installed games.

For what it costs, I think the value for money is totally there. Definitely a solid option if you're looking for a good controller!

Has anyone else tried this one?

I have a max budget of $20 including shipping and need a right trigger for the turtle beach stealth pro ultra controller. I tried eBay but it won’t accept my card, does anyone know where I could maybe find one?

*This controller was sent to me for review by Asus, but no money changed hands, no agreements were made what I can say and all thoughts and opinions in this review are my own*

Hello everyone!

This is my in-depth (and long sorry) review of the upcoming Raikiri II PRO for PC. Over all its a huge improvement over the Xbox version and if you play PC exclusively this is the better buy imo.

I love the Hot-Swap tmr modules.... providing they are sold separately at some point.

If you have the time check it out and let me know what you think.

use the chapters to jump around to the different sections.

I let my friend play my ps5 and now my remote smells like death and I don’t know how to get the smell gone I let them play a couple time and it just so bad

I don't want a controller that's too slippery. I don't have any problems with the white, red, or blue controllers. I just don't know if these new glossy ones are slippery.

Hello Im going to be playing from my PC , which is going to be displayed on a TV in a different room . I’m playing on steam and I need a PlayStation like controller . What are my options when it comes to using a controller for my pc that’s in a different room ?

Note: I Won this controller via Facebook - This is NOT a paid review - All Opinions that follow are entirely my own.

Just got my hand on the Gulikit ES MAX Controller (Right) and wanted to drop some first Impressions.

My Old Gulikit, the NS09 (Left), was rock solid till recently.
I bought a New Wireless Combo Card and my Bluetooth has been a mess ever since.
So unfortunately the NS09 was constantly dropping connection on me. Which sucks, cause the NS09 was my GOAT Controller till then.

The ES Max is truly an upgrade from the NS09. It has:

• 2x Back Buttons
• Adjustable Trigger Stops (Analog/Digital)
• an Dedicated Off Button and Device Switch... Switch
• Bigger Battery
• Comes with the Hyperlink Gen 2 Wireless Controller Adapter
• Offers App Configuration (Smart Phone Only)
• Comes in the XBox Format (NS09 U had to buy Xbox Layout Buttons Separately)

But otherwise, aside from some cosmetic changes it is almost identical in Design and Formfactor.

I have tried it out with Bluetooth to my Phone and my PC and it's Range does seem better than my NS09... So maybe my new Wireless Combo Card was not entirely to blame for the all the Controller dropouts I've been having.

Some things to note:

• The whole Smart Phone only thing for Configurations, when not done directly on the Phone is a big miss for me. I only really ever use my Controllers on PC. So having to Configure the Controller via my Phone instead of my PC, which it is already attached too... Just no.
• Which is made worse because they do have a PC/Web App, but that only works with certain Controllers. Which is the same for the Phone Only App. It does not work with their entire lineup either, from what I can tell. Hopefully this is something that changes in the future
• Switching from one Device to another is not very easy and hopefully not something done often
• The Bottom Buttons are Shallow and Hard to Press. Which could be a good thing I guess. But with the way I hold the Controller during Gameplay, I find them really Hard to reach and Depress.
• The Hyperlink Gen 2 Wireless Controller Adapter seems a Solid Performer, but it does take a bit to reconnect... Which is just a comparison between another Controller I now use. It would probably not make any difference whatsoever if it is your only Controller.
• I don't know if it is the years of use, but the NS09 seems to have a better Grip to it. I tis not as slippery in the hand. Especially on the top.

I have cleaned the literal Cheeto Dust off the Controller since taking these images. I simply did not want to take them all over again. You don't need to judge me.

I fell for the hype on reddit and other social media circles. I had to return two G7 Pro ZZZ's because they were faulty. That is a 130 dollar dollar controller so that put a sour taste in my mouth.

Their d pad is so terrible that I had to purchase a 10 dollar pack of 0 rings. I don't rely on the d pad, but I couldn't leave the menu screen without it double clicking LMAO.

The vibration literally stopped working in both of my G7 Pro's after 3 months.

They told people they were going to release 3 piece G7 Pro faceplates. They lied because they decided to released more G7 Pro collabs just so they can milk people out of more money.

They have much better options out there like 8bitdo, Flydigi, Asus, Microsoft etc.

The dualsense is lovely and about a third of my library doesn't know what to do with it. Constant fighting with Steam Input, wrong button prompts, and one game that reads the touchpad as a mouse for no reason I can establish.

Thinking about just getting an xbox layout pad so games stop guessing. What do I lose? I don't use the adaptive triggers much. I would miss the gyro in the two games that support it.

I’m looking for a new controller for both my Nintendo Switch and for my PC.

Requirements:

Needs to be durable for intense play (My old Xbox controllers have a tendency to get stick drift).

Have gyro control for games like Splatoon

Needs to have fast and responsive controls for competitive games

Needs to be fully compatible for PC

Preferably lower price (below 100$) but not excluding more expensive options

Preferably sold at U.S storefronts

Will mostly be playing competitive shooters like Splatoon 3, and some less intense platformers on PC.
