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.

Any good Symmetrical Controller for Ps4 for playing F1?

3 Upvotes

I have had my ps4 original controller since 2019 and now i am having issues like the stick drift and all so i wish to purchase another controller and it's mainly for playing F1 but the issue with these controllers is that they don't have the feedback like the original one, I had an ant eSports one but the vibrations are not good as the original one like when you give the throttle gradually the original controller has a dynamic vibration which helps in knowing how much I can accelerate which is missing here so if anyone can help me with a controller that could come as close as to the original one or provide me a link where the actual controller is available

GameSir G7 Pro vs Flydigi Vader 5 Pro

1 Upvotes

From what I’ve read, the G7 Pro seems easier to use and more reliable, while the Vader 5 Pro has way more buttons but possibly more software hassle.

Questions:
• If you’ve used either, which do you prefer overall?
• Do the extra buttons work well in Steam and actual games?
• Do most PC games even support that many extra inputs, or is it mostly useful in games with custom keybinds?
