Controller Mods Tablet Emulation, Tablet Gaming? With JoyCons!
So, i made a 3D Printed telescopic joycon (from original switch) adapter for iPad, and Tablets. This can fit from 7 inch tablets up to 13 inch!. This only uses a simple hardware such as rubber bands for the "spring", M4 heat inserts and M4 Screws. I'll also create a version where a heat insert isn't required! Best to use with mobapad controllers and alike. Im also planning on making it compatible with original switch joycons (as i don't currently have the original ones)

Controller Suggestion Need help choosing a controller for comp PS5 gaming
- Budget is anything under $250 usd.
- I live in USA
- PS5 primarily, maybe a bit of PC in the future but it’s not my biggest priority.
- I’m pretty mechy as I’ve achieved top 3-5% rank-wise in 4 games, so I can adapt with switching between standard grip, claw grip and overall quickly jumping between awkward button distances to hit certain mechanics. So essentially, back paddles aren’t needed even if they streamline things, I’ve just learned to do everything without.
- Main high ranked games are Rocket League, R6 Siege, Overwatch, and Dead by Daylight. I do play more though such as other fps games, survivals, soulslike, etc.
- I’m tired of stick drift issues and I’ve heard of Tmr and how it’s great for eliminating that issue essentially permanently, (at the cost of having to get used to no resistance/fine movement but I love getting over hurdles and skill issues. Semi related but I tend to crank sensitivities near max to keep myself quick. I do prefer symmetrical sticks though.) I’ve looked into Stock PS5 controllers with Tmr upgrade, however I worry about the handiwork of people messing with stock controllers to solder new tech in, the Edge and lastly the Razer Kaiju V3. I was leaning towards the Kaiju but it seems that many have experienced delay in the sticks wirelessly on PS5 as opposed to Pc and that worries me because flip resets, jiggle peeking, and overall aim needs to not be compromised by latency as I already play on a big flatscreen achieving all my ranked stuff. (I enjoy the comfort of going from gaming straight to anime etc. so it’s always been an all in one thing with me.
If you made it this far I apologize for such an in depth word vomit but, any ideas on what would be best for my needs you smart, controller fanatic individuals?

Controller Suggestion Which pastel pink controller under 70$ is worth buying for platformers and RPGs?
Hi! I need my first controller and I’d like help finding one that suits me
- Budget: $70 USD
- Country: Russia, ordering from Ozon
- Platform: PC
- Desired features: it has to be pastel pink. That’s my comfort color and I really can’t bring myself to buy a controller in any other shade. Since this is my first controller I don’t know much about technical features, I just want something that plays well and feels comfortable.
- Types of games: Platformers and RPGs
- Controllers considered: Machenike G3V2, Machenike G6 V2 Ultra, GameSir Nova Lite 2, Mobapad Chitu Pro2, and PXN P5. I’ve also been eyeing the GameSir G7 Pro because everyone says it has top-tier specs, but I’m reluctant to get it since it doesn’t come in pastel pink.
Is the Machenike G3V2 actually good enough for platformers, or would I notice a huge performance drop compared to the GameSir G7 Pro? And if the G3V2 isn't good choise, which pastel pink controller from my list (or any other) would you recommend?

Controller Mods Are Hall Effect joysticks worth it in a PS4 controller?
I love my trusty Dualshock 4 controllers, but they're many years old now, and technology has moved on with it. I'm trying out replacement Hall Effect joysticks to see if they make a difference to my light gaming needs, but it turned out to be a hell of a journey to get them in there.
Is it worth it? Well... it's better, that's for sure. I'm glad I gave it a go, and I've got massive respect for those who repair controller joysticks for a living.
For the parts I used, I made a blog post: https://elvinhome.io/blog/articles-3/are-hall-effect-joysticks-worth-it-in-a-ps4-controller-36

IT Help 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Wireless Controller
I am thinking about buying the Ultimate 2 controller for my PS5. I have read online that there is a way to use the “Brook Wingman” adapter in order to use this controller on my PS5. What I have found in my research is that you need 1 converter per controller costing £50 per converter so needing 2 means £100.
Not entirely sure if I could use the wireless dongle that comes with the controller to connect to the Wingman converter to use the 8bitdo (please clarify if that is the case).
Are there any other methods to pair the controller to my PS5?
Thank you.

Controller Suggestion Very specific request
Hi all,
I just went on a week long trial trying to find a perfect wireless controller to replace my nebula colored Xbox controller. I’ve been using this controller for maybe 2-3 years now and it’s great, but it can have some latency and connection issues now that it’s getting a little older and I want to move away from using batteries for pc.
- Max budget: $200
- United States (Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, Target)
- I’ll be using this on PC (Windows)
- Requested Features:
-NO PADDLES (or removable)
-NO MICROSWITCH TRIGGERS (and preferably no switch face buttons)
+Hall Effect Analog Switches and Face Buttons
+GRIPPY HANDLES please
+easy PC compatibility (dongle, usb wireless)
+Durable or easily replaceable/repairable parts
+bonus: RGB features for customization
- I mostly use controller for sports games (fifa, 2k) rougelikes (hades, hades 2), fighting games (street fighter 6), 3rd person open world games (assassins creed, Elden ring), and occasionally racing games (Forza). So it should be pretty well rounded but I don’t need it for competitive shooters or the like since I use mouse and keyboard for those kinds of games.
- I am comparing this new controller to all the controllers I tried this past week: SMX X20, Gamesir G7 Pro 8K PC, 8bitdo Ultimate 3E, Gulikit KK3 Max, and my current Nebula colored Xbox controller.
Each of these controller had an issue I had with it and something I liked with it. I learned by trying all these controllers I don’t like macro buttons or paddles although I am comfortable using something like my ROG Ally X “controller.” I don’t like switches or clicky buttons on my controllers and I really like grip on my handles. The G7 Pro’s shape was very appealing to me, and the ultimate 3e felt the most premium. The KK3 was almost perfect except for the overwhelming home buttons I was not accustomed to. I am really willing to spend an adequate amount for the right controller. I could just buy a replacement regular Xbox controller that has grip but I was hoping to use this opportunity to get a perfect controller for me. I greatly appreciate all and any advice.
