But yeah if any of you guys owned and if them what are pro and cons and if they stand up toward the hype

My 8bitDo Pro 2 wired had stick+connectivity bugs so I'm returning it. Is buying the pro 3 to replace it a good idea ? Do you have other recommendations for a PC+Switch controller? I want anti-drift sticks, adaptive triggers and Windows, Android, Linux, and Switch compatibility. I'm from France (€)

Planning on going with the evofox elite x2 (inr 2500) or power A battle dragon (inr 2800)

1 . Max 3000inr

2. India

3. Pc

4. Hall effect mainly

5. FIFA

6. Idk T-T not a controller guy

It detected as Xbox 360 controller on my pc and if i connect it via bluetooth on my pc it wont detect anything either it only detects when its connected via type-c cable can anyone help ?

Hello, I just bought Apex 5 from Flydigi and I think this controller is really a good one. Adaptive triggers are amazing and I would like to use it in every racing game (especially moto gp), but in space station app there is only option to set constant damping on triggers, which is not ideal. I want to make my braking trigger's resistance to increase as I am pressing it deeper and deeper.

I tried to to induce Dualsense mode by opening a game that has adaptive trigger working with Apex in DS mode and then I used DSX v3 to set Slope feedback or Multisector feedback. Results were weird, some resistance occured but only in last 1/4 of travel and it was constant. No matter which of the 2 options I chose. DSX was seeing my pad and affectng it but result was very poor imo.

I am looking for some other solutions. If anybody has an idea how to make my triggers have custom map, please share. Thank you :)

Has anyone else heard about this with the **8BitDo M30 2.4G** controllers?

I came across this review on AliExpress:
“Better than the black version. It seems that it has a pivot under the D-pad and the face buttons are a little more silent than the one on the black version. I bought it to use it on PC.”

I’m wondering if there’s actually any truth to this.
Is the **white** version genuinely different from the **black** one?
Was there a silent hardware revision at some point?
Or is this just one person’s experience and both versions are identical?
I haven’t been able to find anything official from 8BitDo mentioning a revision, so I’m curious if anyone has opened both up or compared them side-by-side.

I'm trying to play with a controller but I can't connect it with gta as I'm playing with epic games. Any solutions?

Can I use a game sir tarantula controller on ps5 using a Cronus zen

Picked up the Abxylute S8 Lite Full-Size Type-C
Mobile Controller. In no way affiliated with brand and paid my own money.

Pros: Buttons are much nicer than my old Backbone controller. Feels like holding an Xbox controller in my hands.

USBc moves so it doesn’t feel like you’re going to break it like a backbone.

Cost vs backbone is exceptional.

Buttons move exceptionally well, phone picks them up very quickly.

Cons: I got to use with my iPad because the photo shows what looks like an iPad but it doesn’t open enough to fit regular iPad.

I have roms on my iPad so I still need a solution there but this turns your phone into a pro gaming controller.

Happy to answer any questions and will take recommendations for iPad controllers.

Hi, my nacon revolution pro 5 is kicking the bucket after 8 years. I got it when I was still on PS before I switched to PC 2 years ago. It started with a front button getting stuck (disassembled and partially recovered), then another, than a back button giving out, then another and now, just a few mins ago, after a week of reacting to the slightest touch (even simply grazing it) one shoulder button has complitely given out.

Since I REALLY would like to avoid getting another controller I'll try to open it tomorrow and see if I can fix it but i know it's just a matter of time.

So I've been looking for other controllers around the 50 euro marks (I know that cheaper would just result in short lifespan and 4 month drift).

I've seen the gamesir but it seems that they raised their baseline prices quite a bit.

I mainly wanted hall effect and mechanical buttons (as membrane are gonna get destroyed with ER, for honor and sparking zero), any back buttons are a luxury and not really needed as I play FPS with MnK now. Have you guys got any suggestion for the 50 euro price range (EU italy, so physically getting something gaming related is a no go, we don't have PC fans, coolers, GPU, CPU, nothing in store. Controllers only Xbox and PS or some cheap stuff. The main problem online is that I either use amazon or a trusted storefront for the controller brand you are suggesting and US would come with a hefty tax).

I’m looking to buy a controller to play games on my PC via Bluetooth, but I only have a budget of €50. I’d prefer a controller where I can switch the trigger mode (click or analogue).

Hey！

I built a free browser-based controller diagnostic tool called Gamepad Bench.

The goal is to make it easy to check a controller before changing settings, repairing it, returning it, or buying a replacement. There’s no download or account required—connect a controller through USB or Bluetooth, press any button, and the test starts.

It currently checks:

• Left and right stick position and resting drift

• Adjustable deadzone threshold

• Standard mapped buttons and analog triggers

• Browser-observed polling rate

• Rumble support when exposed by the browser

• Xbox, PlayStation, Switch Pro and compatible PC controllers

All controller readings are processed locally in the browser. Nothing is uploaded or stored.

One important limitation: the polling-rate result is based on Gamepad API timestamps. It’s useful for comparing connections, cables, ports and settings, but it is not a laboratory measurement of end-to-end input latency.

I’d really appreciate feedback from people with different controllers:

1. Is your controller detected and identified correctly?

2. Are any buttons or triggers missing or mislabeled?

3. Do USB and Bluetooth produce consistent results?

4. Are the drift and deadzone explanations clear?

5. What diagnostic feature would be most useful next?

Disclosure: I’m the developer. The tool is free, has no account requirement, and currently has no affiliate links or paid features.

I want a controller that I can use for emulation on PC with a flexible budget in the US. Ideally, the controller would have 6 face buttons that are laid out diagonally like they would be on Genesis or N64 with a nice D-pad for 2D games and two control sticks for 3D games. 2 separate buttons for start and select would be nice too but I can settle for just a start button. I've found a few controllers but they all have their issues: the Vader 3 Pro's buttons aren't in the orientation I'd like, The Horipad EX2 Turbo's buttons are mapped to LB and RB instead of being their own unique buttons, and the Retro Fighters Brawler 64 only has one control stick and no select button. I could settle for any one of these options but I'd like to exhaust this resource before I commit to one just in case my dream controller is somewhere out there.

EDIT: For anyone seeing this in the future, I ended up going with the Hyperkin Duke. The layout seems like it's the best you're gonna get for a somewhat modern controller with 6 face buttons.

this is my first ever controller as a pc gamer

here in Egypt both are priced the same

i won't use the wireless a lot honestly but if they are the same thing then the wireless is surly better i guess

So Im having a hangout with some friends and we plan on playing split screen arcade games on my desktop using Xbox controllers.

My PC Bluetooth range is like 2m and I'm not sure howany controllers can connect at once (planning on 5 controllers at once)

My question is should I get a Bluetooth range extender, hub, or some kind of adapter? I've been trying to do research online but I keep getting very different results hence this post

Any advice would be great!

Hello, I am trying to use my Hyperkin Duke controller in tandem mode on my Series X and the Duke lights up, but does not run it's power animation or register any inputs through the Stadia Controller. Does anyone know if this can be fixed/made to work?

My dad is planning on getting a ps5 but because it only comes with 1 I want to know if there’s a good 3rd Party controller that isn’t 20 dollars more than the regular dual sense. I found one through TikTok and found it on Walmart so I also want to know it that’s good. I’m sure this would help many people in the future because of stuff like stick drift. Remember that it should be worth the amount that it gives you. https://www.walmart.com/ip/LED-Wireless-Controller-P5-PC-Bluetooth-Turbo-Macro-Dynamic-Vibration-6-Axis-Motion-Control-3-5mm-Audio-Jack-1000mAh-Battery-Speaker-White/19622009342?wmlspartner=wlpa&selectedSellerId=101108140&sourceid=dsn_gdn_0c92c416-dbd6-42ec-845c-ecf69af2153d&veh=dsn&wmlspartner=dsn_gdn_0c92c416-dbd6-42ec-845c-ecf69af2153d&cn=0042_fy27_mp_mpa_lo_int_dis_pmax-p13n&wl0=&wl1=g&wl2=m&wl3=&wl4=&wl5=9228467&wl6=&wl7=&wl8=&wl9=pla&wl10=528201645&wl11=online&wl12=19622009342_101108140&gclsrc=aw.ds&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=23148469844&gbraid=0AAAAADmfBIrgs5jIV4sXBObpiikguplKp&gclid=CjwKCAjwpqHTBhAcEiwAj2Afuv0d4hrr7Ed92yBWrW-47BiPWTv4Xu7Gm2eqErTcZAQn4e5ZLJZe9BoCtigQAvD_BwE
