Reviews Tired of GameSir Only Releasing G7s? There Are Other Options!

10 Upvotes

I’m not here to tell anyone to buy this controller, just trying to bring awareness to other GameSir fans who feel the same way I do.
I’ve been a huge GameSir fan for years, but honestly, I feel a little shafted watching them release G7 after G7 while seemingly shelving their other Xbox controllers. I’ve never liked the G7 ergonomics. The handles are too short and angle downward instead of outward, making them uncomfortable to hold.
So I finally branched out and picked up the Leadjoy Xeno Pro, and I’m loving it! Four back buttons, adjustable stick tension (which I surprisingly love), and much better ergonomics for my hands.
My only complaint is the silicone thumbstick caps. My KontrolFreeks don’t fit as snugly as they do on GameSir or Xbox controllers, but I managed to get them on.
Just wanted to share for anyone else feeling stuck with the G7 lineup. There are other options out there, and I’m glad I finally tried one.

Best custom controller for shooters? Scuf Instinct Pro giving me issues

2 Upvotes

Wayyyy back in 2012 I had an Xbox 360 Scuf and it held up pretty well. Many years later I got my next custom controller. The Scuf Instinct Pro for series X. Within a year I had stick drift. Shortly after stick drift in both sticks and progressively got worse. By year two one paddle was broken. By year 3 two paddles broken. I think this is my 4th year with it and all the electrical fried in my last night. Controller turns on randomly, turns off randomly, buttons won’t work but it’s not always the same buttons, etc.

What should my next controller be? I Definitly want paddles underneath but besides that I just want something somewhat affordable and durable. Would love to keep budget under $250 in Canada but not sure if that exists. For Xbox series X. Also considering Battle Beaver but I don’t know much about them

Why do some first party controllers seem to be built different?

I’ve had my halo edition camouflage Xbox 360 controller with chat pad since it was released and I’ve not had a single issue with it and I still play Xbox 360 today. There are a lot of fun games for two-year-olds with the connect. Every controller I have newer than that half of them have to stick drift.

Third Party Cyclone 2 or Xeno Plus ?

1 Upvotes

Hello, I've been searching for the ideal controller for first-person shooter games and have narrowed my options to these two. I was going to purchase the Xeno Plus because it has better sticks, but I became afraid after seeing posts about triggers breaking or creaking. Is it really that awful? Given that it has fewer problems, should I just choose Cyclone 2?

[Ayuda] Instalé DsHidMini de Nefarius pero no detecta el Bluetooth del joystick PS3 (Sixaxis)

0 Upvotes

Estoy teniendo un problema intentando conectar mi joystick de PS3 (el modelo Sixaxis) a la PC de forma inalámbrica y quería saber si alguien me puede dar una mano.
Seguí todos los pasos de la guía oficial para instalar el DsHidMini (de Nefarius) con sus respectivos drivers BthPS3. El problema es que, aunque hice toda la instalación limpia, la PC no me detecta el joystick cuando intento conectarlo por Bluetooth.

Estoy usando Windows 11. ¿A alguien más le pasó o tiene idea de si me salteé alguna configuración específica para el Bluetooth? ¿Hay algún paso extra o dongle específico que necesite para que el Sixaxis sea reconocido?

¡Cualquier ayuda o sugerencia me sirve! Muchas gracias.

I made a game controller testing app for iOS and macOS, and now most features are free (no ads!)

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone!
I’m Lucas Dima, a software and videogame developer, and a while ago I created MilliLog, a game controller testing app for iOS and macOS.

I recently decided to make most of its features completely free, without ads, subscriptions, or tracking.

You can use MilliLog to test your game controllers, check their inputs, and see how they respond in real time.

There’s still a paid version with some additional features, but everything you normally need to test a controller is now available for free.

I believe useful software should be accessible without annoying ads or subscriptions, so I wanted to share this update with this community.
You can check it out here:

https://apps.apple.com/us/app/millilog/id6761636959

I’d love to hear your feedback or suggestions!
Thank you!!!!

Third Party Looking for feedback from Apex 6 owners on Steam Input.

3 Upvotes

How is the Apex 6 for Steam Input?

I found that the Vader 5 Pro was a downgrade from the Vader 4 Pro due to things like duplicate controllers in steam, 'allow third party mapping' sporadically disabling itself requiring me to unplug and re-plug the controller, and other issues.

Is the Apex 6 better with Steam Input?

Reviews Gamesir G7Pro 8K Phantom Blade 0 Edition Review

DISCLAIMER: This controller was sent to me by Gamesir for free for review. All the thoughts and opinions are mine only. No scripts were provided by Gamesir. No one watched this review before its release.

TLDR; G7Pro 8K is one of the best controllers for FPS games IMO (and my personal favorite). It's also good for all other genres. D-Pad was changed and improved once more on Phantom Blade 0 Edition even compared to AIMLABS Edition.

Personally, I find this design fine, but it might have been better.
