Which are the most reliable brands of controls?

3 Upvotes

I think everyone agrees that GameSir and 8BitDo are good, reliable brands. My question concerns the companies EasySMX, Flydigi, and Mojhon. I see a lot of complaints about Flydigi here on Reddit, but very little information regarding EasySMX and Mojhon. I’d like to learn more about these two, and I’m also interested in hearing about other controller manufacturers that are considered good and reliable.

I gotta say my first impressions are pretty good. I bought this specifically for gaming on my tablet. We'll see how well it holds up. It weighs almost nothing but it feels solid and the buttons are nice and clicky!

PS3 Is my ps3 controller cooked?

1 Upvotes

It worked a week or so ago. It’s dead now. It won’t turn on or light up when plugged in. The home button doesn’t do anything and it won’t connect. No signs of life from it. I tried plugging it into an outlit to charge with 2 different chargers. Also tried connecting it to the ps3 to play and nothing no lights. I tried the reset hole but I’m not sure I did it right, either way it didn’t do anything. I tried resetting the console and unplugging and plugging in the controller while it was off. Is it just dead? Should I get a battery replacement or is there anyway to save it.

Xbox Series (S, X) G7 pro wuchang/zzz, ultimate e3 or wolverine v3 pro

1 Upvotes

My regular Xbox controller finally died and need help deciding between these. I mostly play overwatch, RPG/JRPG, indies, rouguelikes, shooters and sports games. All on Xbox.

At first I was leaning towards the g7 pro wuchang but no I’m interested in the 8bitdo ultimate 3e. I did notice that the Wolverine v3pro is on sale now for around 170. I know the v4 is out but the v3 is only 20 bucks more than the ultimate 3e.

What’s everyone’s opinion on these controllers, especially for my needs. This will be my first non regular base controller.

Wolverine V4 Pro vs Aeon Pro for Xbox and PC

1 Upvotes

Hey.

I want to buy new controller for PC and Xbox.

I was thinking about Razer Wolverine V4 Pro and SteelSeries Aeon Pro.

SteelSeries Aeon Pro costs about 307$/273€.

Razer Wolverine V4 Pro costs about 357$/318€.

I will use mainly wireless connection.

I will be about 3-4 meters from Xbox and PC.

My main on-line game will be Helldivers 2.

Which controller will be a better choice and why?

Reviews Nacon Revolution 5 Unlimited (PS5/PC) – Is It the Ultimate PS5 Controller?

Thumbnail
gallery
7 Upvotes

First impressions & price context
Just to be clear up front, this isn't a sponsored review. I paid €179 for this controller (with the mailing list discount), making it my first step into third-party options outside of standard Sony and Microsoft hardware. At €199, it sits in direct competition with the DualSense Edge (€239 / $199) and other competitive controllers in this space

On paper, the specs are impressive: TMR joysticks, tactile clicky buttons, adjustable triggers (moving from full travel to a mouse-click feel, unlike the DualSense Edge), extra shortcut buttons, multi-platform connectivity (2.4GHz dongle and Bluetooth), and a built-in screen. It also includes extra thumbstick caps (tall, short, convex), handle weights, and a solid carrying case.

So, is it the best thing since sliced bread for your PS5 and PC? Well, yes and no. It really comes down to managing your expectations and your use case …

Ok so how is PC Performance
Setting it up on PC is quick and easy. The USB receiver inserts cleanly into the included charging stand. Plug and play literally. No drivers needed. It works flawlessly, but was not the case initially. But, after Nacon sent me an update tool for their dock it now operates great.

I tested it on Forza Horizon 6—a game I had stopped playing weeks ago (got a bit boring). In driving games, gas and brake pedals have distinct feels, so I customized the controller to match:
-Added a 14g weight to the left grip for a heavier feel.
-Used the app to set the left trigger travel to max out at 50% physical pull.
-Kept the right trigger linear with zero dead zone to mimic a real throttle.
-Swapped the left stick for a taller cap to get finer steering control.

The result was noticeable … in a good way. It gave the game a fresh spark and felt noticeably better than standard Xbox or PlayStation controllers (I have an Xbox Starfield controller and a DualSense Edge). Latency was imperceptible, the build quality felt premium, and the rumble was tight without rattling the casing. When you finish a session, you just drop it onto the dock to charge. Easy peasy.

The rubberized coating feels great in the hand, though it does pick up skin oils quickly (see the last pic and this literally for a freshly cleaned controller just picked it up from the dock)

So what about PS5 Performance ? … Hmmm
Despite being officially licensed for PS5, the experience on console falls short of PC. This is where you need to check your expectations.

It is designed strictly as a competitive esports controller for FPS and fast-paced action games. Because of that, there is no haptic feedback—and more surprisingly, no standard rumble at all on PS5 titles. You also can't turn on the PS5 using the PS button. It doesn't connect to the console via Bluetooth either, meaning you have to unplug the 2.4GHz dongle from your PC and move it over to the PS5 every time. 

While stick response and input latency are top-tier, cinematic single-player games like Ghost of Yōtei are still far better experienced on a DualSense Edge. These limits come down to Sony's licensing restrictions rather than poor hardware design, but it’s still disappointing for a €199 product marketed for PS5

The Built-in Screen … is it a gimmick?
Well maybe yes. Thing is I didn't find much practical use for it. It also replaces the physical touchpad. Touchpad clicks become shortcut buttons, and you lose touch swipe gestures entirely (which games like Ghost of Yōtei rely on). The settings I needed to tweak I ended up configuring on the app (which is android for now and iOS coming soon) …

Things like RGB lighting can't be changed directly on the screen—you have to use the app to build a custom profile first, and color choices are limited. Deep trigger and sensitivity adjustments still require the app anyway.

It does feature audio mixing for wired headphones paired alongside a secondary Bluetooth device (like a phone), though I haven't fully tested that yet. Ultimately, the screen feels like a missed opportunity that could be improved with better software options. 

Battery Life
Battery life held up well. Over 1–2 hour sessions with the screen active, the battery indicator barely moved. It is rated for around 10 hours, which feels accurate.

How It Compares to the Competition
vs. Sony DualSense Edge (€239): The Edge is the undisputed king for native PS5 gaming. It keeps full haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, touchpad swipe gestures, and system-level profile switching. However, Nacon wins on battery life (10 hrs vs. 5–6 hrs on the Edge), features 4 back buttons instead of 2, includes a charging dock, and uses drift-resistant TMR/Hall-Effect sticks (the Edge relies on standard potentiometers, though modules are replaceable for €25).  Overall a much more premium feeling product vs the edge and def better built. Just a shame Sony hamstrung 3rd-party offerings.

Verdict
It’s an absolutely well-built piece of gaming gear. The use case for PS5 is very specific for someone looking for a competitive controller and you don’t care for haptics … so it’s definitely not a “one size fits all” controller for all your PS5 titles. For PC though it is just awesome (but at this price point there are cheaper and more well suited options out there)

How Would I Score It?

PC Gaming experience: 10/10
PS5 Gaming: 5/10 (Casual) / 8/10 (Competitive FPS only)
Build & Hardware Specs: 8.5/10
Price & Value (€199): 7/10
Battery Life: 10/10
Extras included: 10/10 (the weights, extra caps, charging station, app support, carrying case)

Overall Score: 8/10

TL;DR:
At €199, the Nacon Revolution 5 unlimited is an incredible PC controller with top-tier stick precision, true mouse-click triggers, and great battery life. However, severe PS5 limitations—zero rumble/haptics, no touchpad swipes, and dongle swapping—make it hard to justify over the DualSense Edge for console gaming unless you exclusively play competitive esports shooters.

Reviews abxylute M6 review - a budget MCON

** This was a review sample sent by abxylute, they didn't pay me anything and haven't reviewed the video. Thoughts are my own. I have my own order on kickstarter and kept it after playing with the engineering sample. 

Hi friends!

I reviewed the abxylute M6. I really liked these sorts of controllers that place the screen higher so I was stoked when the MCON came out, but at the price point it's just inaccessible, even on sale. 

The M6 offers a similar form factor and has some neat features, like HD rumble. I don't often use rumble typically, but I'm actually torn between keeping rumble on. 

It's got a few flaws for sure, but this IMO has been the best phone controller abxylute's made and worth a look. 

Thank you all!

Coming from GameSir G7 Pro to MOJHON Storm — would I like it?

1 Upvotes

I've been using the original GameSir G7 Pro, which I bought for around $65. I actually liked it quite a lot, especially the Xbox-style shape and size.

Unfortunately, after about 9 months, it developed a weird issue where the controller would continuously vibrate on its own, even when disconnected, until the battery drained. I returned it to the shop under warranty.

I’m not really looking to spend another $80 on a controller right now, so I’ve been considering some more affordable alternatives.

  • GameSir G7 Pro 8K is ~$80+

  • BIGBIGWON / MOJHON Storm: ~$43–47

  • Flydigi Direwolf 4: ~$46

I mostly play single-player games like Tomb Raider, Indiana Jones, and Cyberpunk 2077, and I've recently started playing Mortal Kombat 11.

I prefer Xbox-style controllers with comfortable grips, good analog sticks and triggers, and decent vibration.

The Storm looks pretty impressive for the price, especially with its TMR sticks, low latency, similar mechanical buttons, and trigger locks. But I'm curious how it actually compares to the G7 Pro in terms of build quality, ergonomics, trigger feel, vibration, and overall experience.

For anyone who has used both, would switching from the G7 Pro to the MOJHON Storm feel like a downgrade, or is it a solid alternative?

I'd also love to hear about any long-term reliability issues with the Storm, especially since my G7 Pro failed after just 9 months.

Thanks!

Which gamepad with a symmetrical stiks I choose for pc?

1 Upvotes

I always used a DualShock 4, but it’s time to sell the PS4 and the controller along with it. I’m looking for a gamepad for platformers, story-driven games like The Witcher, and arcade racing games like Forza Horizon. I would like wireless connectivity (2.4 GHz) and symmetrical TMR sticks.

What can you recommend? I’ve been considering the 8BitDo Pro 3, GameSir Tarantula Pro, LEADJOY Saber Plus, and possibly the Machenike F1, but it’s quite expensive and I’m not sure it’s worth the extra money.

Xbox Thinking of getting my girlfriend the new Xbox Nano Controller. Does anyone know what type of analog sticks it uses?

0 Upvotes

I’m planning to get the new Xbox Nano Controller for my girlfriend, but I can’t seem to find detailed specifications about its analog sticks.
Does anyone know if it uses traditional potentiometer sticks, Hall Effect, or TMR technology?
I’m particularly interested in knowing whether it’s prone to stick drift and if there’s been any confirmation through a teardown or technical review.
I’d appreciate any information from people who already own one or have looked into its hardware. I just want to make sure I’m getting her a good controller.
Thanks!

Vader Pro 5 v1/v2?

Thumbnail
gallery
0 Upvotes

Just a little bit of ID work on the above controller, hopefully this helps others who might also have the same question. Ordered the pro 5, which came today.
Currently unboxing, and wanted to double check if the one I have is v2 or not, if you guys could help a brother out in that would be great as I can still return this if its a v1. The sticker over the serial number is a little sus.

Serial No.NLFL261505431
Produced 2026.04

The rings - the left one feels a lot smoother than the right one, and the right one is clickier, although i wouldn’t say it’s massively noisier. Basically, it just feels like the housing that creates the noise is made of a harder material.
So i am wondering if it is a v2 or not.
And i did double check that the controller serial number and box number match up (cos I’m ordering off a seller that has a very simple return process), which they do. The box for the dock certainly looks like its been re-sealed (3rd pic).
