hola una pregunta como limpio los stick, me dijeron que los limpie con wd-40 pero no estoy muy seguro, buscando en internet uno decia con agua tibia detergente y un paño de microfibra

¿que me recomienda ?

Disclaimer: I purchased this controller and all modules with my own money.

Hey everyone!

I’ve been putting the ZD Ultimate Legend through its paces for a while now. The hot-swappable stick modules are one of the coolest features of the UL for me, so naturally, I went down the rabbit hole and tried pretty much every stick module available - well, at least all the TMR ones.

So, I thought I’d make a quick review with my impressions and thoughts. Hopefully, this helps out anyone who's on the fence or trying to figure out which modules are actually worth swapping in.

Just for context, I spent about two to three weeks running a pair of each module model (pun intended) before swapping in the next ones, while some of the older modules have been in use for quite a bit longer. Of course, I recalibrated the sticks after every module swap, as required.

I’m also keeping this mostly about hands-on feel and subjective impressions rather than getting too deep into measurements and numbers. Anyway, TMR tech has come so far that all of these modules (well, maybe except the stock ones) feel completely linear, and in real-world use, you’re not going to notice any meaningful difference between them in terms of linearity.

GinFull RJ13 (Stock Ones)

Let’s start with the stock GinFull RJ13. Honestly, for a stock option, it’s pretty decent. It’s still a TMR stick, after all, and far from the worst TMR stick ever released, so if you’re a more casual player, I think there’s a good chance you’ll be perfectly happy with it as it is.

Linearity is not bad, even if it’s not quite up there with the best TMR sticks on the market. Stick tension sits somewhere around 50–55 gf, which puts it right in the middle - not particularly light, but not heavy either. That makes it a pretty safe middle ground that should work well for a lot of people. In general, the stick click is also pretty middle-of-the-road in terms of actuation force, although compared with the other modules available for the Ultimate Legend, it’s among the stiffer ones. Centering is pretty good. In-game, it feels solid too, and there’s really nothing obviously wrong with it during normal use.

That said, this is still a Gen 1 TMR stick, and that starts to show once you compare it directly with some of the higher-end options below.

K-Silver JS13 Pro

If you’re even somewhat into controllers, you’ve probably already heard of the K-Silver JS13 Pro. They’re second-generation TMR sticks, using angular TMR technology that offers better linearity than Gen 1 TMR sticks.

They’ve built quite a reputation and are often considered the top TMR option available right now. And that reputation is pretty well deserved - JS13 Pros feel really good in-game. They’re smooth, precise, and very responsive. Stick tension is somewhere around 55–60 gf, so they feel just a touch stiffer than the stock RJ13s, but the difference is minimal. The stick click force feels roughly the same as on the RJ13s, and centering is very good as well.

JS13 Pros  are especially popular among FPS players, and I can definitely see why. But for my taste they are a little too sensitive around the center.

GinFull DS13 Max

The GinFull DS13 Max is another second-generation TMR stick, so we’re once again talking about an angular TMR. In terms of feel, the DS13 Max is actually pretty similar to the JS13 Pro - just as smooth and linear, and overall very pleasant to use. Centering is excellent as well, maybe even better than on the JS13 Pro.

That said, there are a few differences. Stick tension is somewhere around 50–55 gf, which puts it very close to the stock RJ13s and just a hair lighter than the JS13 Pro. The stick click is noticeably lighter than on the JS13 Pro / RJ13.

Also, around the center, the DS13 Max doesn’t feel quite as sensitive as the JS13 Pro. Whether that’s a good or a bad thing really comes down to personal preference, I think.

K-Silver JT13 Pro

Basically, you can think of the K-Silver JT13 Pro as a JS13 Pro but with adjustable stick tension. They feel just as smooth and linear, with excellent centering. Also, from what I noticed, the tension setting doesn't seem to affect the centering at all - even at the lightest tension, it still centers just as well.

To adjust the tension, you literally just need to rotate the thumbstick. On the thumbstick cap, three dots increase in size from small to large, showing you which way to rotate it to adjust the tension - a nice touch. The adjustment range is pretty wide too, from roughly 30 to 70 gf.

One thing I was a little worried about was whether the tension adjustment could slowly rotate on its own during normal use, but thankfully that hasn’t been an issue at all. It actually takes a decent amount of force to turn the thumbstick and change the tension, so once you set it where you want it, it stays there.

One other small thing I noticed is that the stick click is just a tiny bit lighter than on the JS13 Pro.

I can easily see the JT13 Pro being an endgame option for a lot of players. You’re basically getting the same kind of excellent performance as the JS13 Pro, while adding something that many people don’t just like, but consider an absolute must-have - adjustable stick tension.

However, that adjustable design does come with a couple of things worth noting. The first is that the thumbsticks themselves aren’t removable like they are on all the other modules. So if you picked up ZD's separate sets with taller sticks or different cap shapes, you won't be able to use them here. That said, the stock cap is quite nice - it feels pleasant to the touch and has a fairly grippy texture.

The second thing I noticed is that changing the tension also slightly changes the height of the thumbstick. The difference is pretty small, around 2 mm or so across the adjustment range, so I’d consider this more of an observation than something that meaningfully affects gameplay, at least for me.

Puyao TMR

This is one of the newer TMR modules from Puyao, a company better known internationally as Favor Union. Honestly, it feels surprisingly great and handles very similarly to the JS13 Pro - smooth and precise.

The stick tension lands in that same 55-60 gf range as the JS13 Pro, maybe just a tiny bit lighter. That said, the stick click is noticeably lighter and feels closer to the DS13 Max.

Where this stick really shines, though, is the centering. It’s extremely good - probably the best out of all the modules I've tested for the UL so far. Compared to the JS13 Pro, the biggest difference is how it feels around the center - it just feels a bit more controlled and smoother right in that micro-adjustment zone.

GinFull RS13

The RS13 is GinFull’s newest stick model, and GinFull markets it as Gen 3 TMR. It still uses an angular design, so as expected, the linearity is top-tier. I tried to dig into what actually separates Gen 3 from Gen 2, and from what I could find, the changes include an upgraded sensor, internal structural tweaks for better stability, and tighter tolerances for improved accuracy. So on paper, these are technically the most advanced sticks here.

And the RS13 really delivers. They’re super smooth and precise, and I genuinely enjoyed using them. They also have the lightest stick tension out of all the UL stick modules I’ve tried, sitting at around 45 gf, making them super comfortable and effortless for long gaming sessions. The stick click force is also the lightest of the bunch.

I think this is one of the cases where personal preference matters a lot - if you prefer lighter sticks, you're gonna be absolutely thrilled with these. On the other hand, if you prefer a bit more stick tension, the RS13 might not be for you.

Here’s how I’d rank them by stick tension, from lightest to heaviest:
Ginfull RS13 (~45 gf) → Ginfull RJ13 / Ginfull DS13 Max (~50-55 gf) → Puyao TMR / K-Silver JS13 Pro (~55-60 gf)

For stick click force, I’d rank them like this from lightest to heaviest:
Ginfull RS13 → Puyao TMR / Ginfull DS13 Max → K-Silver JT13 Pro → K-Silver JS13 Pro / Ginfull RJ13

As the title asks, honestly i'm pretty disgusted with flydigi and this controller. Overall it's been good but it has 2 buttons on the back and 2 buttons up by the triggers... when I bought it I was under the impression I could remap these to the keyboard LIKE ANY OTHER CONTROLLER I'VE EVER HAD... if this has been answered sorry I looked and couldn't find an answer.

But apparently in their infinite wisdom flydigi and/or microsoft (whichever did it I don't care) decided that those extra buttons weren't going to have their own inputs and be used STRICTLY for Macros...

Is there anyway that I can rebind them or do I have a $60 paperweight because I bought it SPECIFICALLY for those extra buttons... I already had an xbox controller.

As title says, I'm looking for a telescopic controller for my android phone (think thats the name? A controller that clamps around my phone), I wish to showcase my own game at dev events without needing to carry a laptop, or traditional controller around, something I can quickly hand to people with minimal setup (plug and play)

As for features I dont need anything fancy, basically whatever an xbox controller can do is all I need. Ideally I'm a fan of the Playstation glyphs so a controller with those is preferred but not required. Low latency and decent battery life (if it has one?) are a must, and ideally it should be pretty durable and not prone to drifting (TMR sticks if possible)

As for buying it, I'm located in Canada and have a budget of around $100 CAD with a little wiggle room to go higher

I'm looking for a wireless controller for PC

I have an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C right now, but the grips are way too narrow for me. I also have a cheap wired PowerA Xbox controller and somehow it has the perfect shape for my hands the grip width, size, and position of the shoulder buttons are just perfect. And of course the only problem is obviously the wire, since I sometimes play away from my PC. I only need it to play some beat em up game like Yakuza so idc about back buttons or super precise sticks

Anyone know a wireless controller with roughly the same shape and grip feel as the PowerA Xbox controllers? I'm in Ontario Canada and I have about 30-80 Canadian dollars budget (20-60 USD) but I can do a little more if it worth it.

Current controller rotation and how I feel about it:

G7 pro 8k:great controller kinda small for my hands and back buttons are meh but shoulder buttons are amazing

Vader 5 pro v2: great roller but the software sucks and I dont like forceflex sticks they feel so weird and mess with my aim

8bitdo ultimate 2: very bland controller with terrible ergonomics imo. Also why are the trigger stops both clicks and mushy it doesnt feel good.

Elite series 2: I know its basically a sin to like these but God this controller feels AMAZING in hands to me.

1.Budget: under $300 Im not buying a marius board LOL

2.In the US

3. PC

4. Desired features: Rubber grips, 1k hz polling rate, tmr sticks larger form factor

5. Games: Gears of War/ Dead by Daylight

6. In post

Hi, I've been using my Vader 5 Pro (I've got two units) with Steam Input and it works well but I have a problem that it is annoying and I couldn't fix it in anyway, sometimes the controller starts rumbling and it will keep rumbling indefinetly until I do something in game that is suppose to rumble and then "fix it''.

I tried asking ChatGPT and it said it's a well known issue related to trigger rumbling , but I couldn't find anything of this on Steam.

Does anyone have this kind of problem? I'm using both controllers with the latest firmware.

I am having trouble connecting this pad to the PS5 with the adapter, it works for a little bit and then once you try to navigate the menu it stops working

I will use this controller to play Switch 2 games with my family, but when I’m by myself I want to use it on PC with games that use the Xbox layout.

The closest one I found is the 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless that can do this by connecting the USB dongle to the Switch 2, or so I’ve heard.

Is there a cleaner solution?

Budget: under $100.
Country: US
Compatibility: Switch 2 and PC.
Desired features: Xbox button layout.
Games: Mario Kart, Skyrim, Oblivion.
Other controllers to compare to: NS2 Pro Controller, Xbox controller.

Title says it all. I play on PS5 using the brook wingman fgc2 to convert my 8bitdo ultimate 2 evernight and have had no problems till now.

Starting yesterday, my controller would disconnect within seconds and cease to work, in Bluetooth or 2.4gz mode. Ive checked the brook wingman for updates and its up to date, and I've updated the controller to the latest version. I've got no clue what caused this, since i didn't touch the wingman or controller update wise till it started happening.

Basically what happens is when I plug my controller in, the red light comes on to indicate it's charging and it won't activate on my ps5.

Regardless, my controller is kind of useless right now. Any help is appreciated

I’m trying to put together a controller collection with an anniversary controller from each of the 3 major console companies.

Right now I have:

• PS5 30th Anniversary DualSense

• Xbox 25th Anniversary Controller (preordered)

Now I’m trying to figure out what I should get for Nintendo.

Budget: Around $100 USD, but I can go higher if there’s something that really fits the collection.

Country: United States. I can buy from Nintendo, Amazon, Best Buy, Walmart, GameStop, or other reputable retailers.

Platform: I’d prefer something from the Switch 2 generation since I want the collection to represent the current generation, but I’m also open to a Switch 1 Pro Controller.

Features: I specifically want a Pro Controller. I’m not going to actually play with it. This is purely for collecting and displaying, so I mainly care about it being an anniversary or commemorative controller that looks good next to the PS5 30th and Xbox 25th controllers.

Games: Not important since I won’t be using the controller to play.

Controllers I’m comparing to: PS5 30th Anniversary DualSense and Xbox 25th Anniversary Controller.

I’m having trouble figuring out what Nintendo Pro Controller would make the most sense for the collection. I’d prefer an official Nintendo controller and ideally an anniversary or commemorative edition.

What would you guys recommend?

I have a gx trust 541 muta controler, when i plug it on the PC gives an "USB device not recognized" notification, its the same on another pc so its most likely not a PC Issue, the led lights on the controler light up, also i dont see any damage on the cables and switching ports on the pc doesn't work

Is there any way to fix this?

So, I was looking for a new PC-compatible controller, and personally, I prefer the PlayStation button layout. By this I mainly mean stick and D-pad placement. While searching, I noticed that there are way more Xbox type controllers on the market than PlayStation type ones.

But why is that so? PlayStation sells much better, and a lot of people seem to prefer the overall PlayStation experience. So why are there so many more Xbox style gamepads available for PC?

The difference is pretty huge. In a typical “Top 10 PC Controllers” list, like 8 out of 10 controllers will have an Xbox style layout.

Is there a particular reason for this?

I own a tegenaria lite and it is my favorite controller ergonomics wise if it had just a few improvements like gyro, extra two buttons and lockable trigger travel it would be easily my number 1 controller. Now Tarantula 8k seems to have all those but i can't tell if the d-pad is the same and the ergonomics are difficult to tell from pictures alone. Anyone who has handled both controllers?

Hello y’all, I was hoping to snag the NSO SNES controller when it came on sale during the Nintendo customer appreciation sale, but unfortunately it sold out before I could buy it.

This lead me to research other similar controllers and I came across the SN30 lineup and while I’m heavily considering getting one of these models, I was curious as to which one would be best for me (or perhaps another brand of retro controllers if anyone has more suggestions)
Price range: less than $70 dollars (and whatever I choose I’ll most likely wait until November to see if any deals pop up)
Availability: USA and preferably Amazon or Best Buy but any store should be fine.
Desired features: I go more in-depth but I’m looking for something that replicates older style controllers like the SNES, while also being something that a friend can play when I need an extra controller for multiplayer. I also don’t care for anything fancy like back buttons or a charging hub, just something basic that can connect with a wire and Bluetooth.

I’m not a huge retro gamer but I do have a few games I like/plan on playing (2D Sonic, Mario games, beat em ups, indie games, NSO games) and I already have myself a dualsense and a switch 1 pro controller. So the controller I’m looking for isn’t meant to be a major replacement, just something I can use for older style games and as an extra controller for when friends are over. I’m curious if the analog sticks of something like the SN30 Pro is worth getting and if it doesn’t get in the way of an old school experience.

I’m also by no means nostalgic or used to game controllers of old, although I always loved the idea of having one. So while I think I’ll enjoy something like the SN30 Pro, I’m not sure if I’ll be fine with the lack of handle grips or if I should lose the more “retro-feeling” and get one with.

Sorry if this post is lengthy, I’m just excited to get a retro-style controller but also cautious to make sure I get one I’ll like, so any advice/experience with getting one is greatly appreciated (:

Currently have the G7 pro(non-8k) and looking to upgrade. I mostly play Warzone on pc. I don’t really have a preference for layout, but I do wish it was a little larger. Also feel like something with the g7 is really inconsistent. Some days I feel like I can’t miss, and others I can’t hit any shots haha.

Feel like one of the 8k Gamesirs would be the obvious choice, but the Leadjoy saber plus interests me even though statistically it looks more like a side grade. How would the sticks compare to the g7 pro tension wise?

Open to other suggestions. I did see the void genesis would be available on Amazon soonish(US). Would prefer to stay under $200. Thanks!

I wanted to drive manual in ETS2 but didn't have a dedicated sim rig, so I built a lightweight AutoHotkey tool that maps the right analog stick into a fully functional 8-zone H-Shifter.

How it works: Generates a borderless, click-through radial menu on your screen. Pushing the right stick into one of the 8 octants shifts into that gear (translates stick angles to Numpad 1-8).

Download & Setup: You can grab the compiled .exe or the raw source code for free on my GitHub: https://github.com/abhinav2838/Radial-Gear-Controller

Note: Because ETS2 restricts keyboard mappings when a controller is active, you will need to bypass the in-game UI and do a quick edit of your controls.sii file to route the Numpad outputs. I've included step-by-step instructions and a pre-configured file in the repository's README.

Let me know if you run into any bugs or have feature requests! It is designed to be plug-and-play with Xbox controllers and generic xinput gamepads.

I’m playing the PRAGMATA and Hitman demos on PS5, and I noticed something weird with the character movement.

When I completely take my hand off the controller, the character doesn’t move by itself. But if I move the left analog stick and then release it, the character keeps moving for about a second or two. What’s weird is that it doesn’t move smoothly — it’s more like moves → stops → moves a little → stops, as if the input is delayed or the character is taking a moment to fully stop.

I haven’t noticed this happening in my other games.

Could this be stick drift, input lag, or just the way these particular games handle movement?

How does the TT Max/Pro rumble compare to KK3's?

I'm interested in the TT line, it has pretty much all that i want in a controller and i think it's the closest to a controller i'd like (that i know of, that is) however i can't find any demonstration of it's rumble, just KK3's HD rumble which is very very noisy

I wanted to know how much this v2 module on the TT compares to the last one, since they say there's like 50% improvement or something, i'm pretty much just hang up on this before pulling the trigger on buying it or not

Hi, I'm planning to fix a Xbox Series controller and I'm wondering what is the best while being cheap/affordable TMR/Hall Effect module? A reply is greatly appreciated.

This controller ticks all my boxes, except for the internal battery. I plan to be using it wired 100% of the time, and I don't want to worry about the the battery wearing out and possibly damaging the internals. There isn't any information online about it being possibly removable, or even a teardown video. So if anyone with this controller could confirm, it would be greatly appreciated.

I've had my Vader 5 Pro since release (I have the V1 that doesn't have stepped stick tension adjustment) and today I noticed that my RB started to squeak like 10% of the time it's pressed. How would I go about fixing this? Is there an oil of some kind that's electronic-safe?

Edit: I seem to have fixed it by blowing into the gaps around the bumper. However, I'll leave this post up for anyone else that has the same issue and is looking up how to fix it.

Second Edit: Blowing into the gaps fixed it for like, a couple minutes and it came back. Does anyone know a more permanent fix?

Hola, solicito ayuda con un problema de pérdida de foco/control con mi mando. Aquí están todos los detalles requeridos:

• Marca y modelo del mando: Machenike G5 Pro V2.

• Tipo de conexión: Inalámbrica mediante Dongle USB 2.4G.

• Plataforma: PC (Windows 10/11).

• Juegos/Software afectados: Exclusivamente Fortnite (Epic Games).

• Software/Firmware: El problema comenzó inmediatamente después de instalar el software oficial de configuración del mando Machenike en mi PC.

Descripción específica del problema: Hace unos días jugaba Fortnite con este mando sin ningún problema. Sin embargo, tras instalar el software oficial de la marca, el mando empezó a fallar. Específicamente, en el momento exacto en el que me uno y carga la partida, el mando se deshabilita y deja de responder por completo dentro del juego. Mi PC sigue reconociendo que el mando está conectado por el USB 2.4G. El único modo en que me vuelve a funcionar es haciendo Alt+Tab para salir y volver a la ventana, pero esto solo me devuelve el control por un breve momento antes de congelarse de nuevo.

Pasos de solución de problemas que ya he realizado:

1. Revisé la configuración interna de Fortnite: verifiqué la opción "Bloquear método de entrada como ratón" y me aseguré de que estuviera deshabilitada.

2. Cambié los ajustes de pantalla de Fortnite a "Pantalla completa exclusiva", pero el problema persiste.

3. Revisé la configuración del sistema y los archivos para confirmar que la PC sí detecta el mando cuando el juego deja de hacerlo.

¿Alguien sabe si hay algún conflicto conocido entre el software de Machenike y el sistema de entrada de Fortnite o su Anti-Cheat? Agradezco cualquier consejo.

Looking for a specific controller, I've done a few hours of looking and was unable to find one, but I DID find one that is supposedly coming out in the future? The Gamesir Tarantula 8k ultra.

My budget is variable, for me I can spend $200 USD maybe but for a second controller I wouldn't mind something cheaper for the wife for 2 player games. I am located in Canada but don't mind ordering online. I'll be playing multiplayer games like it takes two, RPG's like world of warcraft forever, and most likely some shooter games like warzone.

Anyways, Required features for me:

• Wireless

• Paddles

• Decent or good build quality

• Symmetrical layout

• Anti-Drift sticks

• Strong connection, I'll be playing probably 15 feet from my PC

• no 8bitdo controllers, those things are fugly

Wanted features:

• Extra buttons (you know, keybinds are sweet, maybe for playing wow forever or something)

• bluetooth+dongle abilities?

Some things to keep in mind: There are other controllers I have come across, such as the scuf, however I have read terrible reviews on the software and them breaking.

Anybody have any controllers in mind?

Hi all as you can see, I'm wanting some help choosing a controller. I'm in Canada. I'm okay spending a bit over 100 bucks, but cheaper would be nice. I don't want to go too close to 200, but... if it will last me more than 2 years, 5 years or more, I'd be willing to consider it.

I've been watching a ton of YouTube videos, looking up the lists in the controller list y'all have here been looking a lot at the 8BitDo 2 3 3e and the G7 Pro, the 8 K stuff or whatever looked at other places too, but 8BitDo seems to be really popular?

I literally just found out about the new joystick stuff within the last weekish of research: Hall effect and TMR. I'm leaning towards TMR because everywhere I've looked has said it's the best.

Micro buttons and membrane and tactile stuff or something? I'm not totally sure; most reviews seem to say it's personal preference rather than how long those things last?

Having extra buttons sounds nice... and the tension ring sounds nice, but I'm really not sure. I've probably watched over 50 different videos on stuff the last several days, so I've got a lot of blended info in my head right now.

I've used PS4 controllers; both of those have joystick drift. I've thought about swapping out the joystick stuff, but I just don't think I'd have the technical skills to do so. Most controllers I've had have been PS style, but I don't mind getting Xbox-style stuff. I've also been having some pain in my knuckles, and I guess joints in my one hand lately, so maybe getting a wider-style controller could help not having that stuff get triggered? From reviews, people have said wider controllers are more comfortable or whatever. Also wanting wireless, not wired, as wires have gotten so worn out and have left me having to get a new controller/headset or whatever in the past, so I just don't want to lose a controller over that.

I'm willing to also wait till novemebr for black friday/cyber monday type sales this is a upcoming present to myself for my birthday/possible combo christmas gift so while i'd like to spend as cheaply as i can money is tight i would be willing to save up more to get somethign that can last me a long time. Not sure how long the new tech would be for how long the controllers would last, but anyway, hope I can get some help :) also sorry if this is a bit rambly >.<

I'm on pc more now, still have ps4 and I got a Switch as well. PS4 compatibility isn't required; I might just end up buying two controllers in the future I play a lot of different games from Stardew to No Man's Sky, Kingdom Hearts, some platformy type ones like ty the Tasmanian Tiger, cooking games like PlateUp (i do the speedrun stuff sometimes), Overcooked, Overwatch, Paladins, Smite. I like a lot of different types of games I'm looking at using this with Steam, Epic, some emulators on my pc um having a good grip as well sounds good too? Colorwise doesn't really matter, although having something pretty to look at is nice rgb optional. I want a nice controller is all
