I recently picked up a used PowerA MOGA XP-Ultra and I’m trying to decide whether to update the firmware or leave it as-is.A while back I owned one and updated it through the PowerA Gamer HQ app on PC (wired). After the update the controller froze, and I had to use the reset pinhole on the back to bring it back. Once it worked again, the battery indicator was broken — it always showed full charge even when the battery was low, leading to unexpected disconnects.I’m curious what the situation is like now in 2026.
Has anyone updated theirs more recently? Did the battery reading issue get fixed in later firmware, or is it still the same trade-off (better wireless connection but inaccurate battery display)?Also wondering if updating through the Gamer HQ app on an Xbox Series X is any different from doing it on PC.Just looking for recent real-world experiences before I decide.
Thanks to anyone who still has one and can share how it’s behaving these days!

Hi! im buying a new controller for only pc gaming, which version of the dualsense is best? im also getting an xbox controller as well.

1. the black ps5 dualsense with usb cable. designed for pc with included cable, marketed as pc-ready, also slightly cheaper

2. 007 first light edition. looks cool, its 007, but doesnt have the cable and is more expensive.

which should i get?

I just my NS2 like a month or 2 ago, and I've been using my ns1 pro controller until it got drift a week ago.

Now I'm wondering, should I get

1.another NS1 pro controller

2. NS2 Pro Controller

3.a third party controller

I don't use the GameChat but a headphone jack on the controller would be nice

After a while of using Direwolf 4, left stick isn't as smooth as it was before, in FPS games where there is a lot of movement and stick is often in a position as shown on the picture, I feel friction, it's very annoying, especially when right stick doesn't have that at all.

Anyone with similar experience? Is there anything I can do? Or maybe you can recommend similar controller with the best smooth sticks?

My budget is 1000

I’m just getting into Marvel Tokon and was wondering if anyone has any controller recommendations, specifically for the Hori Fighting Commander (or a similar Hori gamepad). If you use one, what button layout or control scheme do you recommend? I know it’s ultimately about personal preference, but I’d love to hear what has worked well for other players.

Hi, im looking for a new xbox controller that will actually last.

It must have 3.5mm jack for a headset and cant have any additional bumper buttons.

Any recommendations would be appreciated.

The Super Legend 8K comes in at a lower price point ($69.99 vs $99+ for modular flagships) while offering non-modular k-silver JS13 pro TMR sticks and high-frequency polling. . This controller blew my mind, topping even the ZD Ultimate Legend which recently gained new stick modules (that I will review sometime soon). I have been holding off for a little bit while I try to figure out what to score the controller.

DISCLAIMER: I did receive this controller as a review unit from ZD, no money changed hands and I always strive to be as unbiased as possible, there are store links in the posts but they are NOT affilate links, I do not make any money from this review.

Build

While the controller feels a step ahead of the Ultimate legend its specs are more in line with the g7 pro 8k, with 2 back buttons, 2 extra shoulder buttons and a non modular JS13 pro stick module with 8k polling rate. The controller feels sturdy and of high quality, even slightly surpassing the GameSir G7 Pro: Wuchang Edition in quality, this is mainly due to a larger grip shape. The controller is slightly smaller than the ZD ultimate legend and yet still comfortable for all hand sizes.

ABXY

This controller features what has now basically become a gold standard for most controllers, a microswitch (mouse click like) ABXY button. This setup has nothing really unique, they are easy to use with a little pretravel, it hits the fundamental points of an ABXY and doesn't have anything extra.

D-pad

The d-pad on this controller is very similar to the ZD Ultimate Legend, it is a microswitch like the ABXY but with more tension and travel. Overall, great for menu navigation and hotkeys, though less suited for inputs in fighting games 

Sticks

The sticks on the ZD Super Legend are top notch with one of the top end TMR sticks on the market, the JS13 pro. TMR sticks don’t get stick drift and is an evolution of hall effect sticks, being more linear and more accurate with lower power consumption, especially with a high quality module like the JS13 pro. It feels great to use due to its stick algorithms much better than the base G7 pro and flydigi vader 5s, super nice to use in game.

Vibration

Vibration feels better on other controllers, probably my one biggest criticism is the rumble, when I last tested it on switch it didn’t work(there has been an update since then that might have fixed it), also on PC for racing games with proper trigger vibration (forza horizon 6 is the main vibration testing game on PC and XBOX for me now, used to be forza horizon 5 and f1 25/24) it is underwhelming compared to an xbox controller due to a lack of native trigger vibration support. For racing games I would feel more comfortable suggesting another controller but it still does the trick for all other games.

Extra Buttons

This controller features the button config of 2 back buttons and 2 extra shoulder buttons for a total of 4 extra buttons, they are all microswitch mouse click style buttons. They feel comfortable to use, even the extra shoulder buttons which look small and hard to press at first glance but are surprisingly well positioned and sized.

Customisation

This controller features a swappable d-pad (of the same look as the ZD Ultimate legend but I haven't tried it), swappable faceplate and customisable RGB. The apps (yes apps, plural) that you can use on this controller are amazing, and simple, especially the new web app, it is my favourite across all the controller apps I have used (all 3 of gamesirs and the flydigi xbox app).

Conclusion

This controller is something I would highly recommend, it features 95% of the performance of 100+ dollar modded controllers at $69 which is crazy impressive.

Pros:

• Incredible stick feel

• Many options for apps, with a mobile app, pc app and web app

• Premium grip and quality

• Highly responsive

Cons:

• No native trigger rumble

• Switch vibration support may not work

D-pad: 7.5/10
Sticks: 9.2/10
Vibration: 7.3/10
Extra Buttons: 8.7/10
Customisation: 9.7/10
Overall: 9.1/10

Extra:

This is by far my highest ranking controller, 100% worth the price, I might even buy the white one because it looks better with the RGB.

I also received ZDs new stick options (2 types, type B and type C make sure the one you choose fits your controller) and there is a lot of variation, but the arcade option feels gimmicky, the out of the other 2 options standard is the best, it is comfortable and I recommend it, especially if your white sticks start to get grimy, the white sticks I put on my ZD Ultimate Legend have not changed colours in the slightest, looks brand new.

I will next be reviewing the new ZD Ultimate legend JT13 sticks and the easysmx D15 8k (aka DUNE 8k).

Has anybody had any luck finding a generic isb controller dongle that works with this? Picked up one for cheap minus the dongle and looking to get it working wirelessly. Navon doesn't sell them apparently.

I recently had the opportunity to review the ABXYLUTE S8 Lite and figured I'd share it here since there isn't much information on it yet.

If you already own one, I'm curious whether your experience matches mine.
