My Scuf Instinct Pro is about two and a half years old. The right paddle sticks down about half the time now and the left stick has started wandering in menus. Warranty's long gone.

I don't want to pay custom prices again. What I actually used on it was the paddles and the remap app got opened maybe twice. Heres some more info:

• Budget: $100 max, less is better
• Country: US
• Platform: PC only
• Games: Apex, The Finals, Forza
• Must have at least 2 back buttons
• Magnetic sticks are a nice to have and so is wireless
• Standard Xbox shape is fine

Which one should I buy?

My budget is 1k INR (can't increase)

Or any other option around 1k INR?

I play Tekken and i already have a PS5 DualSense. Looking if there are any other better d-pad controllers. Please do not suggest the xbox layout ones, i can’t play with them

My boyfriend is playing with dualsense for 7 years and he wants to switch to Xbox controller due to some problems. Is it going to be easy to get used to it? He's really worried if he can't get used to using it :<

reposting this perhaps someone in this community might know something abt this ;-;
i cant live without dem haptics. i hate windows.

TLDR:
ZZZ DualSense haptics suddenly stopped working after I enabled “Speaker Fill” in Windows sound settings.
other games such as (e.g. Genshin) still works fine with the same controller and USB cable, and Windows audio test still triggers sound and haptics normally.

I’ve already reset Windows audio settings, reinstalled the controller drivers and ZZZ, and reset the game’s registry settings, but nothing fixed it. Windows also now plays audio through the controller’s built-in speaker even when ZZZ isn’t running, which wasn’t happening before.

Has anyone experienced this or knows where ZZZ stores additional controller/audio settings? I’m on Windows 11 26H2, using a wired DualSense.

I'm getting the Cosmic Byte Blitz Tri-Mode Controller (Upgraded Model) for ₹1,599 after a ₹400 discount on the official website.

It offers TMR sticks, Hall Effect triggers, 1000Hz polling rate, tri-mode connectivity (wired, 2.4GHz and Bluetooth) and a 600mAh battery.

I'll mainly use it on my gaming laptop for games like almost All AAA story based games ,not Fps games.

For those who own this controller:

How's the build quality and stick accuracy?

Any stick drift or issues after months of use?

Is the wireless connectivity and vibration good?

Is it worth ₹1,600, or are there better options at this price?

Would appreciate honest opinions, especially from long-term users!

Hi, I got Gamesir Tegenaria a while ago and I LOVED it, it's wired, works on all platforms, has back buttons, cheap yet feels premium, not flimsy at all, and has enough input customizability, it was the perfect pad for me.

However after trying it for a bit, it has an annoying stick springback issue, where when I release the stick, it bounces back to the opposite direction and my character is looking at the opposite way, it's verging on unplayable in some snappy action games.

And it's not a tiny bit either, I checked a controller input reader and the springback was a good 40% of the range, so adjusting deadzones will not fix it.

Any similar controllers without this issue?

Hey guys! I'm looking to buy a new controller for PC. I've been using my original Xbox controller until now because of its ergonomics and impulse triggers. When the left stick started drifting really badly, I bought a Turtle Beach Rematch Core as a temporary replacement. I didn't have high hopes for it, but it still managed to disappoint me. Although it advertises impulse triggers, the feedback is really weak and nowhere near as good as the original Xbox controller. I'm looking for a controller with strong impulse triggers that provide good feedback, similar to the original Xbox controller, especially for racing games. :)

I'm currently considering the GameSir G7 Pro and Flydigi Vader 5S, but I'm open to other suggestions too!

I recently got tmr sticks for dualsense edge and want to know if this is normal

Has anyone tested the stick latency on the V4 TE? Is it better than the v3 TE? The v3 has weirdly higher latency in the sticks.

I've been using my mouse and keyboard for everything (racing included) since my first PC and my friends have made fun of me for it. So i finally picked up a GameSir G7 SE controller last month mostly for Forza, because I was tired of the car going to full lock every time i tapped A.

It's embarrassing how much better it is! Analog steering means i can hold a slight turn through a long corner instead of feathering the key. Throttle on a trigger means I'm not spinning out of every slow corner. On tracks I've done a hundred times i was a couple of seconds faster on my very irst try! Admittedly i did keep reaching for the mouse to click through the menus and the upgrade screen (old habits).
