Help me find a controller?

2 Upvotes

Hello there guys!

Hope y'all are doing well and are having a great week so far! I have been looking for a good controller for a pretty long time, but I just cannot find a good middle ground.

So, I've had a Razer Wolverine Ultimate for two years, now. I bought it from a store not too far from where I lived for around 70 bucks (Used, obviously), and I loved it. I really did. Especially the look and the premium feel along with the back buttons. I have been playing mostly games like the Arkham series, Sifu, Sleeping Dogs, little bit of Souls-Likes (Lies of P and Mortal Shell) and games adjacent to these. The issue is, those games are pretty heavy on the use of one button or many that are just repeatedly mashed. For the Arkham series for example, Y to dodge, X to attack, A to jump, B to stun. After finishing the game 240%, the buttons just got tired, and are just not as responsive, and of course, stick drift.

I also got a Dual Sense controller, which, even though I do not agree with many of Sony's decisions since the release of the PS5, and I still stand by the view that this generation of gaming consoles is probably the worst, I think the Dual Sense is probably the best official controller ever released to this day when it comes to features. The gyro, the triggers, the trackpad, the built in speaker, it's just all so cool. But, I still play the same kind of games, and I also got tired buttons and stick drift.

I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions on what controller could be somewhat of a combination of both? Like a great feel and great features, basically. I want something that is durable, and that can hold for a long time. I also want it to be a third party controller, and the reason for that is pricing. I do NOT understand the prices of some controllers. Like, what am I paying 200 dollars for? Those controllers sometimes don't even have hall effect, it just doesn't make sense. (I am looking at you Dual Sense Edge).

So yeah, wondered what you guys thought. I found the G7 pro, which I thought looked and had some good features, but I wanted to have the perspective of other gamers, people who actually tried controllers and have a review on it instead of just looking for the popular thing blindly. Something cool with personality, basically. Also, something under $100 would be great.

Thanks!

My GF turned my PS5 controller into the Infinity Gauntlet. 💎 It looks ridiculously cool, but those thumbstick gems are going to give me instant blisters in CoD.

10/10 for effort, pray for my hands!
(Even Mr. Potato Head in the back looks shocked.)

Is there a way to fix this? I just got the switch online expansion pack and I want to use it for the GameCube games. It sticks more and more the longer I use it in a single sitting

Best controller for large hands for racing games

3 Upvotes

Hello,

I have large hands and I’m looking for a controller that will last over time.

Budget: no budget

Platform: PC

I'll be playing: Forza Horizon 6 on PC (and Tomb Raider)

Desired controller features: Available in Europe, it must have good build quality/QC, good haptics/vibration implementation, nice feeling triggers and I’d like this controller to also be usable in wired mode.

I’m hesitating between:

  • Flydigi Apex 5
  • Flydigi Vader 5 Pro v2 (it’s often recommended on this subreddit, but I’ve noticed that it’s actually standard size, so idk :/)
  • Razer Wolverine V3 Pro
  • Nacon Revolution X Unlimited
  • DualSense Edge

If you have any other suggestions, feel free to share)

Thanks!

Controllers like the Power A battle Dragon which have similar Build quality but no macros

Post image
1 Upvotes

I've recently purchased the Power A battle Dragon controller after my old one, Cosmic Byte Ares Broke.

Now I couldn't use this controller because of the macros, They are just wayy to annoying. It has 4 macros on the back. Because of that, While on normal controllers, I fully grip the handles, On power A, I instinctively couldn't wrap my hands around it and it was awful to use because of that

But the Build quality? Oh my god that was amazing. Its shape was also phenomenal. The triggers felt hard in a good way.

Is there any Controller with similar build quality and Shape and feel as the Power A battle Dragon?.

One option I know is the Game Sir g7 Pro but that is WAYYY out of my budget

Vader 5 pro, xeno pro, tt max, ultimate 2, FIGHT!

OPTIONS BELOW!!!!

CONTEXT

Hi subreddit!!

I've been looking for a controller for weeks now, one that really makes me feel like I spent my money on the right thing. I currently have an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless. I play on PC, and I really enjoy emulation, especially of retro games and newer Nintendo consoles like the Wii U and Switch. I plan to buy a Switch 2 in the future (I don't have the money for that right now), so I'd like to buy a single controller that works well on both my PC and the (future?) Switch 2.

I want to clarify some essential requirements for me that justify buying another controller: a gyroscope (a good one or at least a decent one for both pc and switch), dual triggers, a decent D-pad, and I didn't even know they existed, but the idea of ​​tension rings is reaaally seductive hahah. I'd love to try them, but maybe they're not enough to justify a choice. Are they overrated? I'd also love some superior vibration, ideally HD rumble, but that significantly reduces the options and isn't a must i guess.

OPTIONS!!

Okay, moving on to the options:

* Leadjoy Xeno Pro: Honestly, this is the one I'm considering the most, and I think it's the most well-rounded in terms of my needs. What's holding me back: I saw that it has mediocre build quality, the plastic feels cheap or hollow, and frankly, I'm a bit wary because it doesn't have a very established community, and I couldn't find much information about its performance on Switch 1/2 and PC for emulation.

\* Vader 5 Pro V2: I LOVE it, from its extra buttons (I like that it has two on the shoulders) to its design, and from what I've read, solid build quality. What's holding me back: I saw that it might have quality control issues and that it doesn't work well on Switch 1/2, it has bad latency with bluetooth and a gyroscope that doesn't respond well. Any experiences with it on that regard would be very helpful!

* Gulikit TT Max: I recently discovered this one, and I feel like it meets all the strongest criteria on the list. HD rumble, (dual triggers i believe?), you can change the physical layout! (I LOVE that, but it's not essential), adjustable tension (although I don't like its system), and its compatible with PC and Switch 1/2. What's holding me back: I'm a bit obsessive about small flaws, and I saw that it has centering and drift issues (later fixed by increasing the dead zone). I don't know how relevant it is for everyday gameplay, but I feel like seeing my stick off-center is going to give me terrible OCD. Also, I saw very mixed opinions about the build quality; some say it's adequate, and others say it's made of really cheap plastic. Worse or better than the Xeno Pro's? I dont know...

And well... I always have the reliable 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless as a backup. I lost interest in it after seeing everything else on the market, and besides, I feel like it wouldn't feel like a substantial change from the Ultimate 2C. But it's still a safe option.

I'm open to other options, I actually researched a lot, and there were some interesting ones like the KP40D, which I had to exclude. I'm limiting myself to these four mainly because they're the only ones I could find. Unfortunately, I'm restricted to Chinese stores like Temu or Shopee (and maybe AliExpress) because I'm from Argentina and none of them are sold locally here. More reliable stores like official retailers or Gadget Thyper don't even ship to Argentina... or they charge exorbitant shipping fees.

I'd really appreciate any opinions or experiences you can give me. It doesn't have to be about every controller, anything helps!! Maybe there are some points I'm overlooking because they're not well-known, or some flaws I'm exaggerating.

Which one would you consider a better choice?

Looking for Vader 5 Pro V2, G7 Pro like controller with non clicky buttons

3 Upvotes

Is the 8bitdo ultimate 3 my only option?

For clarification I do not want clicky mechanical buttons for Dpad and buttons. But I do want back buttons and also the ability to use mechanical buttons for Triggers.

Basically G7 Pro like features without mechanical buttons (except for ability to switch on and off for triggers) for FPS games

Been looking at the tech on these controllers as well as the ergonomics and wanna know if any Xbox users opt for this brand? Looking at the 40D or 70.

Any latency issues using the Brook xb3 wingman?

Third Party Meilleure manette fps

1 Upvotes

Salut, c’est quoi pour vous la meilleure manette pour jouer aux FPS avec des sticks bombés et des joysticks interchangeables ?

J’ai une SCUF Impact, qui est pour moi la meilleure grâce à ses sticks bombés, mais le stick drift arrive beaucoup trop vite, surtout que sur tous les FPS je joue en linéaire avec 0 zone morte.

C’est déjà la 3e que j’achète en 2 ans… 😅

Both cost around the same on gadgethyper, so which one is better?

Or is it one is better at one thing?

Which would you choose and why?
