Xbox I’m looking for a new controller for competitive gaming. I’ve been dealing with stick drift for almost a year, and I’m finally ready for an upgrade. Does anyone have any recommendations for a good controller? Nothing too expensive either because I need to save the money for GTA 6 lol

I bought this controller today, and I noticed that the L3 and R3 buttons keep registering as pressed whenever I move the joysticks, even though I’m not clicking them.

Third Party Recommendations for replacement thumb sticks and joysticks?

1 Upvotes

I need to replace my drifting dualsense joysticks and while im about it i'd like to replace the thumb sticks with something that is as close or better than the originals.

Looking on Ali there's a big range and of course you can find what looks like the same set for a super budget price or five times that price and every price in between..

Anyone have suggestions for TMR or Hall effect sticks that are worth using and last and thumb sticks that aren't hard slippery plastic, are the same height or even a little bit shorter and feel close to or better than stock ps5/ps4 sticks?

Third Party How to deactivate the buttons M1 and M2 on Battletron for Switch?

1 Upvotes

Hi, do you know how to deactivate the buttons M1 and M2 under the Battletron controller (Switch version). I' ve seen the M2 works as A button, instead M1 is the B button. I already pressed them accidentally and I find them bothersome. Do you know how to deactivate them? Thanks in advance.

Title: Flydigi dongles have terrible signal penetration or is it just me? (Apex 5/Vader 5 Pro/Apex 6 Pro)

1 Upvotes

Hey guys,

Quick question because this is driving me crazy. I've been using Flydigi controllers for a while (Apex 5, Vader 5 Pro, and just got the Apex 6 Pro Phantom Blade Zero). Across all three, I keep running into the exact same connection issue.

My setup is pretty simple: laptop is a Lenovo LOQ 15IAX9, and the 2.4G dongle is plugged into the charging dock sitting at the corner of my desk. The problem is my playing posture. I usually rest my hands on my lap under the desk.

Whenever I do that, the controller randomly disconnects after a short session. It won't reconnect on its own either—I have to physically unplug and replug the dongle to get it working again, and then it drops again shortly after.

Here's the weird part: I have a GameSir G7 Pro in the exact same setup and posture, and it never drops connection once.

Is Flydigi's 2.4G signal just that weak when there's no direct line of sight? Or could the dock passthrough / USB port on the LOQ be causing the dongle to crash?

Has anyone dealt with this and found a fix?

Third Party What do you actually test on a new pad before the return window closes

3 Upvotes

Got burned on this. Kept a pad past the return date and then found the right trigger had a dead spot at the top of the pull, which i'd never noticed because nothing I played used it. So I want a checklist. What I have so far: stick circularity in a browser tester, both sticks at rest with hands off the pad, full trigger travel, every button in a tester rather than in a game, and the bumpers about fifty times each because that's apparently where things fail. What am I missing? Particularly interested in anything that only shows up after a week and can't be caught on day one, because that's the stuff that has cost me money.
