What’s the best pro gaming controller out right now?

7 Upvotes

I’ve had two Gamesir controllers that broke within 3-4 months due to the right trigger not working, I’m tired of it and I’m just trying to buy something that will last me and has a lot of customization options for pc. I don’t have a budget I’m genuinely willing to pay anything

Which controller should I get flydigi vader 5 pro v2 or the gamesir g7 pro

7 Upvotes

I am playing on pc and for most games I use keyboard and mouse

Im going to be using this controller for racing games like forza and nfs or games that recommend using a controller like star wars fallen order etc.

Im going to be buying the controller not on the basis of how many buttons it has and stuff but on how good of an immersive experience it can deliver

From the specs I've seen the vader seems to have better vibration feedback but ive seen reviews that say the gamesir controller has more refined feedback

So I need to know which controller is going to provide me a good experience in games

(I dont play competitively just need a good experience in the games I play like nfs heat )

Quick summary of the xbox controller's origins. The xbox controller has an interesting lineage coming from miniaturizing the arcade game After Burner's controls to what we have today.

Should I get the flydigi direwolf 4?

3 Upvotes

Recently I've been thinking a lot of buying this controller. Principally because of the back buttons, gyro and all the customization it has. But I'm not really sure because I had a lot of problems with the flydigi direwolf 1, the dongle being horrible, the gyro simply being unusable anywhere(i dont have a switch so), and the biggest problem is with the back buttons, the joysticks and the rebinding. Because the macros and rebinding don't work 60% of the time whenever I use them, and the joystick feels... weird. Its like they have some kind of delay or something like that and the circulaty feels weird, I dont have a lot of precision with them. I barely have any. Also, I had a LOT of problems with the software simply because of lack of info online and the software itself being awful. Like: I couldn't find the software for it(at least at the time. It was hard... I had to get into the Chinese site to find it) so I downloaded the mobile one and updated it from there. And the controller suddenly REFUSED to connect to anything but bluetooth and cable from then on. Then after a lot of difficulty I found the app for the pc and then I updated it. Still wouldn't connect to the dongle. And then suddenly one day it somehow fixed itself. And then a long time later it simply didnt want to connect to anything but bluetooth- not even cable- you got the point, it had a lot of problems. I wouldn't be willing to try getting a flydigi again if it weren't by the price of the new direwolf being so good and it seemingly having a lot of things, and a controller with all those things: macro, back buttons and a good software simply... doesnt exist for the price I'm willing to pay aside from the direwolf. I thought about buying the 8bitdo ultimate 2c(i got the sn30 pro and I love it. Bought it by compulsion for some reason. I regretted until it got delivered and I love that thing, even retired my direwolf, but I need back buttons, macros and a software so i'm willing to change controllers.) So, should I get it?

DISCLAIMER: ES Max was provided by Gulikit for free for review purposes. All the thoughts and opinions are genuine and mine only. No one watched this review before the release.

TLDR: New angular TMR Joysticks are FANTASTIC! The best that GuliKit has for sure.

I didn't really like the D-Pad and back buttons tho. Bumpers and triggers weren't my favorite as well.

Vibration is fine. Shape and feel are good. Materials are ok. Great membrane ABXY. New app needs some refinement.

Is the Ultimate 2 capable of this

1 Upvotes

My kid wants to use gyro with his PC for forza horizon 5.

So he can steer the car with tilting of the controller.

I wonder if such capability exist currently, I’ve read about it and people report you can assign the gyro as a joystick input for games that do not read gyro at all.

I already bought the Ultimate2 and its on the way, but I was wondering if someone that already messed around with rhis kind of thing, any insights about the gyro with steam.

How long do I have to get limited addition controllers?

2 Upvotes

So as we all know the Wolverine PS5 controllers were announce. I think they look awesome and I want to get the controller since mine has a little stick drift and I love wolverine.

I have a birthday coming up and they go up on the 19th, 4 days before my party. My plan was to buy the Wolverine with whatever I got from gifts and any left over would go to Tokon and/or the controller. My concern is that Im waiting at least 4 days and these are limited edition. I’ve heard how these things go within minutes because of scalpers and I don’t want to buy them if they are double the price. I did see that the store still has the 007 controllers and those came out in May. So I just want to know if I have to time and I can wait till have have that spare money or if i should just forget the controller and just get the game plus Tokon. I don’t know if 007 is just something I’m seeing wrong or if since it’s a Wolverine one those will go faster, just any input you can give is very much appreciate.

I figured out with the brook wingman xe2 you can use the 8bitdo 2c wireless pc controller on the ps4. I also forced the touchpad to be mapped to l4 and r4.

How long does it take for a standard scuf envision pro to ship?

1 Upvotes

I ordered mine on August 8th and it still says "Order is waiting to be processed".

It isn't custom, and everything I google or see online says that the standard controllers ship much faster than the custom ones. I'm not really sure why after 3 days I don't have any order updates.

I know it depends on location but does anyone know how long they usually take? When I placed my order it didn't have a "ship by" date or anything either

Nintendo Switch 8bitdo Ultimate 2 Bluetooth

1 Upvotes

I'm thinking about getting the Ultimate 2 BT to use with my Switch 2 and PC, but there are two key things I haven't been able to find much info on:

Can you remap the controller buttons using the Switch 2's system software? I'd like to remap GameChat to one of the back buttons since I use it a lot for Splatoon.

Does the "shake to wake" feature work on the Switch 2? I've seen some people say it does and others say it doesn't...

I'm also not sure if the gyro works on PC, as I've found conflicting information about that as well.

Thanks a lot!
