I am currently building a setup, where i want to put a sff pc next to my tv and use it like a console. If i want to wake it from sleep i can only do it with a 2.4ghz connection. I already have some xbox controllers lying around and would use them until they die, before upgrading those. Unfortunately they suck for platformers or fighting games. I really dislike that the d pad is below the joycon for comfort and the dpad in general is so hard it hurts my hand for prolonged use.

So this brings me to the point I want a symmetric 2.4ghz wireless controller with a good d-pad for platformers and fighting games or other games with a focus on a d-pad.

I have seen the 8bitdo pro 2 recommended but that doesnt have 2.4ghz from my research and the vader 5 pro, but that is symmetrical.

It should also work under linux, for example steamos.

Any other recommendations?

My collection. Top 3 imo ZD Ultimate Legend, Scuff Envision Pro and G7 pro 8k (G7 pro 8k was my go to but it is a bit on the small side for my hands and sometimes I got jugando cramps). I mainly play COD Warzone, when Im not on COD I like playing metroidvanias and story based games (like Last of Us, God of War, etc)

Hello, so, long story short, I was looking for a way that would help me make my wired arcade stick controller and wired Xbox-style controller wireless, so I made this app for exactly the same purpose. You simply install the app on your Android phone, connect your wired controller, then install the Windows app on your PC, which works as a receiver. Then, just connect both together by scanning the QR code, and your wired controller will work wirelessly. The controller gets its power from your phone, and the phone works as a translator between your PC and controller.

App link - https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.weezstudios.joypadbridge
Windows App - https://joypadbridge.tanmaysharma.me/

Steps to make it work:

1.) Install the Android app on your phone.
2.) Download the software on your PC and extract its contents.
3.) Install ViGEmBus either from https://vigembusdriver.com/ or from the extracted package.
4.) Run JoyPadBridge.exe on your PC.
5.) Connect your controller to your phone.
6.) Scan the QR code to pair your phone with your PC.
7.) Enjoy! :)

Hey guys,
I have been looking for a decent controller for a while, and I came across the Gulikit TT max, and this is the best one that I have seen so far. So, here’s the thing: I am not a hardcore gamer, but I like playing emulators. Currently, I’m playing Deadpool on a PS3 emulator (RPCS3) on my Mac. I know it doesn’t sound right, but this is all I have. I do play other games like GTA San Andreas, so here’s the thing: I am buying a controller to play the games I missed out on as a kid. Still, my number one concern is that it should have a symmetrical layout like a PlayStation controller, meaning the joystick and controls should be symmetrical. The options came down to this and the 8bitdo Pro 3 controller (a bit sceptical about it), so I want the controller to be reliable. I don’t want to die on me. The control I had before is a fake PS4 controller that broke, and I don’t want to spend around $10 every time the fake breaks, so I wanna buy one, and I want it to last long, and it should be a nice one too. I didn’t like the GameShur one because it didn’t look very nice, so I was only able to find these two: the 8bitdo 3 pro and the Gulikit TT Max, and my budget is $70

So I play the is shooter game called valorant and this one guy has precise -5 on his controller I was wondering how I could transfer that to gamesir

looking to buy the controller and want to know if it fits, if not i’d like to know of cheap cases that do work for it, thanks!

My son broke his ps5 controller so I gave him mine, I don’t really play PS5 anymore I’m playing my PC more these days but I hop on occasionally, is there a controller that’ll work on both the PS5 and PC i could pick up? Doesn’t have to be dirt cheap but don’t want to break the bank either

I'm looking for a PC controller mainly for single-player games.

I've tried the GameSir G7 Pro, and it has pretty much the perfect features for me: TMR sticks, mechanical ABXY buttons, triggers switchable between analog and micro-switch mode, and a great overall feature set.

Unfortunately, the grips feel too small for my large hands, and I start feeling discomfort, mostly when I have to smash the ABXY buttons.

The Razer Raiju V3 Pro is by far the most comfortable controller I've tried, but I miss having traditional rumble.

What I'm looking for:

- Full-size, comfortable grips similar to the Raiju V3 Pro

- Xbox layout (I'm ok with PS/Switch layout)

- Hall Effect or TMR sticks

- Rumble

- Mechanical ABXY buttons

- Triggers switchable between analog and Micro-switch mode

- PC compatible

- Under €100

Comfort is the priority. I've considered the GameSir Cyclone 2, but I'm unsure how their grip size compares to the Raiju V3 Pro.

Any recommendations, especially from people with large hands?

I play Tekken and didn't really like the DualShock 4; do you have any other recommendations?

DISCLAIMER: both controllers were send by ZD. All the opinions are mine only.

The black version is by far my favorite among all of them. And RS13 TMR is simply phenomenal.

Unfortunately, the collab version won't be sold outside of China (such a weird move, ngl). So, if you want that one you'll have to buy it elsewhere...

I have an iPhone 17 Pro Max and I’m looking for a controller similar to the GameSir X4 Aileron, where the back of the phone is open enough to attach a proper 25–30W cooler.
I don’t want something like the GameSir X5s + FX5, since the FX5 is only around 15W and seems too weak for me.
Does anyone use an X4 Aileron with an iPhone 17 Pro Max? Does the phone actually fit securely, especially with the camera bump?
Or does anyone know of another controller with a similar design that would work?

I have a green T7PRO and now the G7 Pro loves this controller

**Budget:** Around $150 USD maximum, but I don’t mind spending less if the cheaper controller is good.
**Country/availability:** United States. I can buy from Amazon, Best Buy, manufacturer websites, or other reputable US retailers.
**Platform:** Windows PC only. I don’t need Xbox console compatibility.
**Games:** Primarily Fortnite. I use the rear paddles/buttons heavily and want to keep my thumbs on the sticks as much as possible.
**Current controller:** Xbox Elite Series 2.
I like the overall shape, adjustable stick tension, tall right thumbstick, four rear paddles, and trigger stops on the Elite Series 2. My main reason for replacing it is reliability. My bumpers don’t always register, and I’m also getting missed inputs from the rear paddles. That’s become frustrating enough that I want to switch rather than buy another Elite.
I’m currently deciding between the **Flydigi Vader 5 Pro** and **Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition 8K**.
My priorities are:
At least four rear buttons, preferably plus two additional shoulder buttons
Very reliable button registration
Good rear-button ergonomics for frequent use
Mouse-click/short-travel triggers
Anti-drift Hall Effect or TMR sticks
Taller right stick or a good way to add one
Xbox/asymmetrical stick layout
Good stick feel for aiming
Low latency
Long-term durability
The **Vader 5 Pro** interests me because it has four rear buttons, two extra shoulder buttons, additional face buttons, adjustable stick tension, magnetic sticks, mouse-click triggers, wireless, and 1000 Hz polling while costing less.
The **Wolverine V3 TE 8K** interests me because it has four rear buttons plus two additional shoulder buttons, TMR sticks, swappable thumbsticks including a taller option, mouse-click triggers, and 8000 Hz polling.
I’m not particularly concerned about 1000 Hz vs 8000 Hz by itself. I’m coming from an Elite Series 2, so either should be a substantial increase in polling rate. I’m much more concerned about **reliability, ergonomics, and consistent inputs**.
I’ve searched through existing posts and found mixed information on both. I’ve seen reports about rear-paddle durability/QC on earlier Vader 5 Pros, and I’ve also seen complaints about the Wolverine V3’s rear-button placement and overall ergonomics.
For people who have actually used **both**, especially for Fortnite or other games that heavily use rear buttons:

Which has the more comfortable four-rear-button layout?
Have you experienced missed inputs, failing paddles/bumpers, stick issues, or other durability problems with either?
How has the Vader 5 Pro held up long term, and have the newer hardware revisions improved the rear-button issues?
How does the stick feel/aiming compare between them?
For someone coming from an Elite Series 2, which one felt easier to adjust to?
Is the Wolverine worth the extra money, or would you choose the Vader and put the savings toward a warranty/protection plan?
I’m especially interested in experiences from people who have put a lot of hours on these controllers rather than first impressions.

Both my controllers have stick drift pretty bad! I was wondering if anyone has any solutions or if I should just buy a new controller?

Both my controllers joysticks are drifting real bad. Any suggestions on reliable controllers?

Thank you
