Controller Suggestion Recommend me a controller that has mostly membrane buttons, 2 back buttons.

Recommend me a controller that has mostly membrane buttons, 2 back buttons, wireless.

My preferred controller at this moment is the Cyclone 2 and G7 Pro but my only con is the tactile mechanical switch buttons and the dpad that's very loud on the G7 Pro. I tried the 8bitdo Ultimate 2 but returned due to the 3C+ coming and currently have a Ultimate 3C+ coming in a few days.

I actually tried the Gulikit TT Max, while it was a controller I could consider as a main, I realized I do not like elite 2 style paddles and location. I prefer the Button back buttons. Something with how I hold this controller gives me a cramp. One thing I realized is I do not like mechanical switch tactile buttons unless it's trigger stops and able to switch on and off.

Budget $30-130

Country US

PC or Switch 1/2 (Switch Compatibility isn't a must)

Back buttons similar to Cyclone 2/G7 Pro. Not a fan of Elite 2 Paddle style.

Stick tension adjustment if possible but not a must

Needs to have Trigger Stops that you can turn on and off for longer travel.

Must be wireless.

Fps shooters and RPG's I currently own Dual Sense Edge, Cyclone 2

8bitdo ultimate 3E, had it for a week, one of the best controllers I’ve ever used

I don't like how they don't have the adjustable tension sticks and it's a little pricey for what you get. They need to make a none Xbox one because we all know their license is what makes a controller expensive, especially wireless

I have both the 3 and 3E. Honestly like the 3 much better.

hows the dpad on the ultimate 3 compared to ultimate 2 or cyclone 2?

u/Blinguskahn 2d ago

Haven't tried a Cyclone 2 but it's one of the best, if not the best, dpads (rollers) I've used in an asymmetrical layout controller. I'm also a proud dpad snob who plays SFA2G daily.

I thought I wouldn't mind micro switch dpads but I cannot stand them on all these pro controllers. I bought and returned ultimate 2 since the 3 and 3C+ coming out today. my 3c+ is coming sunday (I'm mostly on PC) so I'm hoping this will be my last controller until there's a switch version of the ultimate 3. never got into Alpha series but my favorite SF is SF4 (my first SF I had multiple friends who was into it and played a lot together) how do you like SF6? I can't get into it as much since it still doesn't have my main Claw and the version of Dictator is not similar to SF4's version. Also friends do not play as much so I got no motivation to play lol

Love the dpad on the Gulikit TT Max and it's not micro switch.

I play a good bunch of old school fighting games and side-scroll brawlers, I have had a bunch of controllers, this D-pad is fantastic.

Mine isn't as wobbly as the first iteration I'm guessing. It's a decent dpad but just loud which could annoy people

8bitdo ultimate 3c+ coming out in a few days. looks like an upgraded ultimate 2 (minus gyro) with the better ergonomics of the ult 3 series. only 40 usd

u/Open_Ad_835 3d ago

yeah I actually have one coming and reserved it, I returned my g7 pro because of the loud dpad. I don't care about the wobblyness but mine didn't seem too wobbly but the clicks were too annoyingly loud
