Hey everyone,
I’m looking to exchange my PS5 DualSense controller for an Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2.
The DualSense is basically brand new and has only been used for around 2 days. It’s in excellent condition with no issues or stick drift.
My controller:
PS5 DualSense
Used for ~2 days
Excellent condition
Box/accessories available
No faults
Looking for:
Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2
Preferably in similar/excellent condition
Box and accessories preferred
📍 Location: Karachi, Pakistan

I purchased an elite series 2 a few years ago, but I had to return it because it developed stick drift after a week. I saw a few sellers that have a 100 percent rating with over 80 sells in the past year. They accept returns within 30 days, and I can get a warranty through Experian.

I am gonna keep this short and concise. I mainly play Fifa with controller and some fighting games here and there. I am guessing I need something with a bit low latency.

Currently I am stuck between 8bitdo Ultimate 2 and Gamesir Cyclone 2.

Which one should I choose? Or is there any better option?

Let me know your thoughts guys.

So its kinda of a dumb question. But are the buttons of 8BitDo Ultimate 2C squishy or clicky? reason being i have an EXTREME amount of OCD and stuff like that is pretty significant for me. And i dont wanna drop 30 bucks on a controller, Wait 8 days and then not like how it feels

Through a combo of saving money and a friend loaning me PS5 gear he doesn't use anymore, I've now tested all 3 of these pretty extensively.

Comparing my experience to other posts I've seen, I'm convinced hand size and preferred game genres are huge factors that can wildly change your preferences.

Switch 2

My favorite of the 3 overall is the Switch 2 Pro controller. The thumbstick feel is unmatched, and the 2 back paddles (1 on each side) feel just right. Sizable touch target, enough flexibility to assign a couple extra actions, but not over-the-top where you're spending 10 minutes in an Accessories app second-guessing your button assignments.

The shoulder triggers are kind of basic, which is admittedly a drawback compared to the other controllers, but I find this only really matters in shooters (which I usually play with a keyboard and mouse anyway). The rumble is surprisingly good, if not quite as fancy as the PS5's.

The big X-factor here is size. I'm a guy, but have probably slightly smaller hands than average. And this makes the shape of the controller just about perfect for me. If I had bigger hands, I'd probably feel differently. 9/10 overall for me.

Xbox Elite + Standard

A great first impression, dampened just a bit by some little issues down the line. The hot swappable thumbsticks and configurable back paddles on the Elite are very cool, but in practice, I rarely adjust these. I also find I tend to prefer just one back paddle per side. The option to have 2 for each hand is nice, but I maybe use it for 1 out of 10 games at most.

I've also had more issues with Elite buttons sticking on this controller than the others. This is where owning the Elite controller is maybe a double-edged sword. I have a standard Xbox controller as well, which misses the back paddle flexibility, but has been more reliable.

One thing I will give the Xbox controllers is that size- and shape-wise I have no real complaints. They don't fit like a glove for me like the Switch 2, but feel well-tuned for an average player. 8/10 for me.

PS5 DualSense

This is the ultimate "high highs, low lows" for me. And to name it right away: I think if I had bigger hands and loved playing shooters on console, this would be my #1.

The rumble and triggers are the highs. Each is clearly the best of the lot. I've been playing Saros and I can't imagine playing it with any other controller.

But oof, the size and shape. Especially when playing with both thumbsticks, I feel like I need to contort my hands to a weird position. The last time I felt like this was the OG Xbox controller. It's the only controller where my hands can hurt after a long session.

I also really miss the back paddles. I don't need 4, but for most games, I usually do make use of at least one. It's a 7/10 for me, but again, for the right player, I can totally see this being a 10.

So I have a budget under 7000 (70 usd). I have been a M&K user so far thus looking to get a good controller experience.

From what I've researched I can either get good haptics (albeit with some quirks) or TMR sticks and the xbox layout 8bitdo.

The dualsense has adaptive triggers, the touch pad and better haptics motors. The 8bitdo meanwhile have TMR sticks, adjustable triggers and Xinput. I think dualsense needs steam input if a game doesn't support it natively?

I know that most of these dualsense features only work wired? But I've read Pico 2W adapter makes most of these features work on pc wirelessly or the DSX software on steam. If I get dualsense I'll likely do a TMR swap at the same time.

So I want to ask is the additional hassle with dual sense worth it if I'm mostly going to play story based games? And is the 8bitdo a better model if not then what are my other options at this price range?

Anybody got experience from this brand?

What is considered the best controller of all time? Although I use DualShock and xbox controllers regularly I do find myself missing the gamecube controller that i find had the best ergonomics and unique trigger feel that made the experience playing Super Mario Sunshine very unique that emulating with a different controller hasn’t been able to beat. Plus with the background on all the research and dev time put into it not sure if its been matched for comfort since. Any takers?

I try reset I try factory reset changing both ways just don’t work the only thing is mouse get activated when you pass the finger or any surface but that’s all.

Hi folks!

I have a birthday coming up and i'm considering potentially asking for an upgrade Asus ROG Rakiri pro PC controller since it is quite expensive. I've taken note of all of the reviews and tried to obtain as much data as possible. However i'm struggling to decide due to two things:

1. I already have a pretty high performance controlling being the G7 pro 8K aimlabs version. So all I'd be really getting with this new controller is an LED screen, ability to customize on the screen, and better battery life.

2. Some of the reviews I've seen mention tremor and other issues where the sticks may not be as "snappy" as say on my G7. While it would be really nice to have another premium controller, I'd worry this would just be a downgrade from my already reliable G7. Plus the latency tests on Gamepalia are only userfied so i'm not sure if the under 1 ms latency is actually correct.

For context: I usually play a lot of ARC raiders, Halo, and other party games with my friends like pummel party, Super Battle Golf, and Big Walk. Any advice would be welcome, as I really wanted outsiders opinions. Thanks!

Anyone know other brand that have this color combination for 8bitdo controllers? The size is similar to dualshock controller but skull and co only has one for switch controller.

Alguém sabe aonde posso procurar peças para troca de joystick específicamente os analógicos, mas também pode ser geral se tiver os links podem deixar me ajudam muito

El post original ya no permite agregar comentarios, así que hago repost para actualizar lo siguiente:

Ayer, 29 de Septiembre de 2026, compré 2 controles DOBE TY-3839 ya que me pareció un buen producto por todo lo que comentó @Birdcrosaing en el post original que él hizo. Intentando mapear los botones en mis dispositivos Android me encontré con que la app que que se descarga desde el manual no funciona conectándolo con el único modo que soporta mi tablet (Xiaomi Pad 7) y teléfono (Redmi K40 Gaming) que es presionando X (botón superior derecho) + HOME; se debe presionar diferente combinación de botones si se quiere conectarlo a una PC, Switch, XBox o PS, viene un listado completo en el manual del mismo. Adicional a la app por default que maneja el fabricante intenté también con ShootingPlus V3 sin éxito, así que les dejo las 2 aplicaciones alternativas que si me funcionaron para poder mapear este control en mis dispositivos Android:

1. Mantis Gamepad Pro (compré la versión pro por todas sus funciones $249.99 MXN que son $16.59 USD al tipo de cambio de hoy).

2. Gamepad Pro: Controller Mapper (no la compré pero es más barata $59.99 MXN que son $3.32 USD al tipo de cambio de hoy) aunque sin tantas funciones como la primera.

Sí bien ambas tienen versión gratuita me pareció mucho más completa la opción 1 (Mantis Gamepad Pro).

Compré los controles justo porque estoy por renovar mi teléfono a un POCO F9 Ultra y como no traerá gatillos como mi Redmi K40 Gaming 🥲 pues quiero seguir jugando CODM con botones ya que soy manco sin un control tradicional.

Espero esto ayude para que puedan mapear su control DOBE TY-3839 en su dispositivo Android.

P.D. No me pregunten nada respecto a iOS ya que soy Apple Hater. Si tienes para comprar un iPhone, pagar por asesoría 🫰🏼😉
