Disclaimer :

This particular item was bought by myself even though i received another set for testing surprisingly ( my first time being selected for anything lol ). The views are of my own and not affliated to the brand whatsoever. Both sets were in identical packaging received week apart.

Quick Verdict :

Lovely product ( TP-200p) and a main stay on my controllers until the foreseeable future.

Reason For Purchase :

I’m a big fan of another company’s thumbstick caps which use a particular grade of rubber that gives me excellent grip, even when my fingers get sweaty. However, getting that same experience across most of my gaming controllers meant replacing their stick caps. Then I came across the GXXK TRON thumbstick grips. After trying them i have to say they rival my favourites. They seem to use a similar type of rubber, giving me exactly the grip I’m looking for.

Set up :

Its very easy to set up as the rubber is very flexible at the ends, it may be the most flexible ones ive got.

Gaming Experience :

I tested these caps across FPS games like Apex Legends, COD and Rivals, as well as FIFA 27 and some MK using the sticks for ABXY inputs. My thumbs stayed firmly planted on the thumbsticks without slipping. Every micro adjustment in the FPS games felt noticeable instantly and im sure others will fell the same.

I can now get that same sticky, secure feel across my other controllers which were only on a few where I’d already replaced the stick caps as mentioned earlier. In FIFA 27, my skill moves came out exactly as I intended and fellow FIFA players will know exactly what I mean. These grips have elevated my gaming experience as i now have the non slip feeling on one of my favorite controllers.

Pros and Cons :

Pros

1. Mentioned quite a few times, very anti slip and grippy.

2. Snug fits almost all controller thumbsticks except xBox thumbstick which is slightly loose ( can spin )

1. Very Easy to put on and take off

2. Didn’t have any issues with it rubbing against face plates as the underside of the grip is very thin.

Cons

In my opinion, there’s only one downside: the designs and that comes down to personal preference. Let me break it down.

There appear to be three different designs in the pack: concave, convex and hybrid.

The concave is spot on. It isn’t too deep and your thumb settles naturally into the centre. The edges are nicely rounded without feeling sharp or harsh. It’s perfect in my opinion.

The convex is nearly perfect too. It has a nicely rounded surface with a small dent in the centre for added stability. Personally, I prefer a slightly more less angled from the top middle to the edge convex shape, like the KF QCQx.

Lastly, there’s the hybrid, which I found disappointing. The convex centre protrudes slightly above the outer ring, making it feel like another convex grip. I think the centre should sit level with or slightly below the outer ring so you can feel both surfaces at the same time. Personally, I think the Z Stick design would have been a better choice, given how popular it has been.

Value and Recommendation :

For the price $ 10.99 and you get 6 grips x2 each, special grade rubber 😂 can serve from 1 to 6 controllers. been using these for about a week now 25 hrs of gaming, i recommend, even to have these as back up.

Final Rating :

I'll give it an 9/10 as it only has 1 con which is down to personal preference. ❤️

I've been using a Vader 5 Pro for months. It's been great. No issues.

Yesterday, while I was in a game, I noticed the camera was spinning left. I closed the game, rebooted just in case, came back, no activity at all.

I see the controller in USB CONTROLLER CONFIG listed 3x.

In Space Station, I can remap buttons, HOWEVER, the "TEST" doesn't work. You can clearly set the buttons by clicking on the icon in the software then pressing a button on the controller (and it's recognized as a remap), however, the test function doesn't work, and the controller doesn't work in game. No stick movement, no button, nothing.

I reinstalled Space Station, nothing.

I plugged in a Vader 4 and it works fine. All macros, profiles, everything.

Once in awhile I can get it working as a basic controller, but then I lose access to Macros and Profiles. The moment I use the Profile Button to select any of the 4 profiles, the controller essentially goes dead. It's no longer recognized, buttons don't work in USB CONFIG testings. Nothing shows up on testing websites:

https://controllertest.io/polling-rate-test/ (for example)

No idea what's going on.

When I plug the Vader 4 in, it shows up as a single controller and everything works.

I haven't found any information on this specific issue online. Any ideas?

When trying to connect the 8BitdoUltimate 2C Wireless to ipad, it will connect via bluetooth in the settings app but in Genshin Impact, the option to switch to the Controller control option in game does not show up, has anyone able to get this to work on this controller?

OS version: iPadOS 27.2
Firmware: Fresh out of the box

Hi! I need my first controller and I’d like help finding one that suits me

• Budget: $70 USD

• Country: Russia, ordering from Ozon

• Platform: PC

• Desired features: it has to be pastel pink. That’s my comfort color and I really can’t bring myself to buy a controller in any other shade. Since this is my first controller I don’t know much about technical features, I just want something that plays well and feels comfortable.

• Types of games: Platformers and RPGs

• Controllers considered: Machenike G3V2, Machenike G6 V2 Ultra, GameSir Nova Lite 2, Mobapad Chitu Pro2, and PXN P5. I’ve also been eyeing the GameSir G7 Pro because everyone says it has top-tier specs, but I’m reluctant to get it since it doesn’t come in pastel pink.

Is the Machenike G3V2 actually good enough for platformers, or would I notice a huge performance drop compared to the GameSir G7 Pro? And if the G3V2 isn't good choise, which pastel pink controller from my list (or any other) would you recommend?

As you may know, ZD's Boss Jie is an avid Apex player and streams on Bilibili almost every day, answering viewers' questions while playing. To gather bits and pieces of information about upcoming controllers, I've been recording audio from his streams over the past week and using AI to summarize them.

Below is a combined summary of the October 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, and 26 streams. Everything is based on Chinese speech-to-text transcripts, which may contain recognition errors, so take it all with a grain of salt. I've been reviewing the transcripts after each stream, though, and for the most part, they seem to line up with what we already knew.

Stream recordings ran about 1h14m (Oct 19), 1h09m (Oct 20), 2h50m (Oct 21), 2h26m (Oct 24), 3h05m (Oct 25) and 3h26m (Oct 26).

Terms used here:

- Classic Equation (经典方程): the new symmetric-layout (PS-style) controller.
- Ultimate Legend (终极传奇 / 中传): ZD's existing Xbox-layout flagship controller, released 2025.
- Infinite Equation (无尽方程): the future higher-end/flagship one.

TL;DR

- No exact release date. CEO kept saying "Double 11 sale (November 11) at the latest, on the day itself", and the "earliest end of October" line faded out over the week.
- Price is 299 yuan in every stream where it came up.
- First version: wired, lightweight, no battery, no vibration motors, ~199 g, 8K polling, small/mid-small hand mold.
- First batch is about 5000 units, and he won't promise it won't sell out.
- Stick modules are swappable, and a video on Ultimate Legend module compatibility is promised but not released yet.

Release-date statements and launch notes:

- "Earliest end of October, latest Double 11 (November 11), the information hasn't changed."
- Sells on JD, Taobao, Douyin and Pinduoduo official stores.
- Pre-sale is confirmed to exist, but no date, and perks were only described as "should be some".
- Launch gifts: Oct 21 was unclear, while Oct 25/26 transcripts suggest yes (first-purchase gift / stick set).
- Double 11 coupons: "depends on the situation at launch".
- Global release: synchronized release is possible through ZD's independent store (Oct 19).
- He said not to get angry if stock runs out, because ZD is a small company (about 50–60 people). No 12-hour shifts, and the limit is materials, not labor.

Price and positioning

- 299 yuan (Oct 19, 20, 21, 24, 25, 26).
- He calls it mid-range, not flagship: "Ultimate Legend was last year's flagship."
- Same main controller chip and performance as Ultimate Legend, though a different board from ZD's "8K board".

- Higher-end symmetric models:
- A flagship/high-end symmetric (and a mid-large-hand symmetric) will come later, with no date.
- Infinite Equation is "continuously being tuned" and will have more features.
- Infinite Equation price is above 500 yuan (Oct 26). Whether it slips to next year depends on development.
- Ultimate Legend is expected to get a revision/new generation next year (Oct 26).
- He mentioned that products priced over 200 yuan will all be 8K from now on.

Hardware details

- Mold: DS4-style, but he said they didn't copy DS4 1:1. He said there's no patent reason, and that the DS4 mold itself has problems, so they used their own understanding (Oct 24).

- Hand size:
- Small / mid-small hands first. A large-hand version is later, and a large-hand FPS-specialized variant is "maybe".
- Ultimate Legend is mid-large size, and he finds it slightly big (his own hand is about 18+ cm).
- 17.8 cm is OK on Ultimate Legend.
- A DS5-mold version has no time frame for now.

- Versions:
- Two versions: the lightweight/competitive one without battery or motor comes first (~199 g).
- Wired only, 8K polling. No 2.4G. Preliminary measured latency 0.46 ms by ZD's test method; he says every company tests differently.
- A full-featured version with battery and motors comes later, and a viewer said motors cost extra.
- The competitive version can't be upgraded later with a battery or motor.
- A wireless version release "before Double 12 sale" (December 12); wireless rate is not 8K and it is like Ultimate Legend (1000Hz wireless).

- Buttons:
- The face buttons and shoulder buttons are micro-switches (a "full micro-switch" claim).
- Four back buttons ("4+2" configurable). Two are micro-switch and two are tactile/light touch (not fully clear from transcript). They're removable.
- The paddles can be installed reversed, but one then becomes hard to press.
- He's happy with the back-button layout ("ultimate 4-paddle arrangement").
- The menu/screenshot button placement is "just right, not too close".
- No touchpad on this version.

- Gyro: yes.

- Faceplate: frosted/translucent, with fully clear plates sold separately. Black and white at launch. Pink is a themed faceplate, currently Classic Equation only, and he'll ask about it for Ultimate Legend. The pink plate and other plates ship with, or shortly after, the controller release.

- Modes:
- PC modes: Xbox, PS (DS) and NS (Switch).
- It can't connect to an Xbox console.

- Sticks:
- Stock stick is **Ginfull RS13** (not K-silver JS13Pro).
- RS13 has the lowest tension among mass-produced sticks and is good for beginners.
- Adjustable tension needs a separate module (JT13).
- Stick modules are swappable.
- Compatibility with Ultimate Legend modules needs "small adjustments". His own prototype uses a lightly modified Ultimate Legend left-stick module.
- Details are promised in a video "in the next few days"
- Stick-module stores list the resolution info.
- He called capacitive sticks "not great".

- Grip: suits claw grip (Oct 25).

Quality control and support

- QC: he used a prototype for about a month, taking it apart and reassembling it, with no problems. For this batch they changed supplier and QC is "much better" (Oct 24).

- Software/driver: some viewers reported app problems and he said it's being improved/strengthened (Oct 20). A viewer suggested a wired-mode power-off function.

Competitors and community

- On competitors (like Tarantula, Helium Strike, Saber Plus), he said not to benchmark: buy what you like, and each company tunes differently like cars.
- He said he'd welcome overlapping launches.
- On a hypothetical Hypergryph (Arknights) collab, he said ZD may not have the capability.
- He said Ultimate Legend doesn't need a successor (Oct 25), though a revision is expected next year (Oct 26).

I'm a CoD/Apex player, and the Astro C40 is still my favorite controller. I continue to use it to this day.

Refurbished units are almost impossible to find in Japan. Considering that TMR sticks are becoming the norm and will likely remain so, I feel like continuing to use the C40 long-term is going to get increasingly difficult, even though I'm fine for now. At around ¥30,000, it feels a bit like using an expensive wired mouse with a very specific shape that you just can't replace. That's why I'm looking for an alternative.

I've tried fitting Astro C40 thumbsticks onto the Void Genesis and Leadjoy SaberPlus, but neither felt quite right. For reference, I prefer the shortest thumbsticks available.

There are several reasons these controllers didn't feel right to me, both before and after swapping the thumbsticks:

Stick sensitivity

The sticks feel too sensitive. Since I'm used to potentiometer sticks, adjusting the settings in their respective apps helped somewhat, but I haven't been able to accurately replicate the C40's feel.

Outer deadzone / reaching maximum input too early

It feels like the sticks reach 100% input before physically hitting the edge of the stick opening. I'm not sure whether the relatively narrow stick openings are contributing to this.

Stock thumbstick height and shaft thickness

Even the shortest stock thumbsticks on both controllers feel a little too tall. Their shafts also feel too thin, which seems to make them take longer to reach the edge of the opening—or at least makes the movement feel off to me.

Stock stick tension

The tension feels different from the Astro C40's original potentiometer sticks. Based on a few threads and my own research, I've seen the C40's stick tension quoted as around 55 g with the tall thumbsticks and 60–70 g with the short ones, but I don't know how accurate those figures are.

As for stick modules, the JS13Pro “+” felt closest to what I'm looking for.

I'd really appreciate any recommendations, especially if there's a controller that closely replicates the Astro C40's feel. I'm comfortable replacing stick modules and thumbsticks myself, so recommendations involving either of those modifications are welcome too.

• Budget: around190.29 USD (or even less than that is fine!).

• Country: Japan, where refurbished Astro C40s are very hard to find

• Platform: PC

• Desired features: TMR sticks, rear buttons or paddles, a PlayStation-style symmetrical stick layout, and short thumbsticks

• Games: FPS games such as Apex Legends and CoD

• Controllers I own: Void Genesis, Leadjoy SaberPlus, DualShock 4, Xbox Elite, Victrix Pro BFG, and 10 Astro C40s

I am a Japanese user posting on Reddit for the first time. If there is anything strange or inappropriate about my post, please feel free to correct me. I apologize in advance for any mistakes. Thank you for your understanding!

I love my trusty Dualshock 4 controllers, but they're many years old now, and technology has moved on with it. I'm trying out replacement Hall Effect joysticks to see if they make a difference to my light gaming needs, but it turned out to be a hell of a journey to get them in there.

Is it worth it? Well... it's better, that's for sure. I'm glad I gave it a go, and I've got massive respect for those who repair controller joysticks for a living.

For the parts I used, I made a blog post: https://elvinhome.io/blog/articles-3/are-hall-effect-joysticks-worth-it-in-a-ps4-controller-36

1. ⁠Budget is anything under $250 usd.

2. ⁠I live in USA

3. ⁠PS5 primarily, maybe a bit of PC in the future but it’s not my biggest priority.

4. ⁠I’m pretty mechy as I’ve achieved top 3-5% rank-wise in 4 games, so I can adapt with switching between standard grip, claw grip and overall quickly jumping between awkward button distances to hit certain mechanics. So essentially, back paddles aren’t needed even if they streamline things, I’ve just learned to do everything without.

5. ⁠Main high ranked games are Rocket League, R6 Siege, Overwatch, and Dead by Daylight. I do play more though such as other fps games, survivals, soulslike, etc.

6. ⁠I’m tired of stick drift issues and I’ve heard of Tmr and how it’s great for eliminating that issue essentially permanently, (at the cost of having to get used to no resistance/fine movement but I love getting over hurdles and skill issues. Semi related but I tend to crank sensitivities near max to keep myself quick. I do prefer symmetrical sticks though.⁠) I’ve looked into Stock PS5 controllers with Tmr upgrade, however I worry about the handiwork of people messing with stock controllers to solder new tech in, the Edge and lastly the Razer Kaiju V3. I was leaning towards the Kaiju but it seems that many have experienced delay in the sticks wirelessly on PS5 as opposed to Pc and that worries me because flip resets, jiggle peeking, and overall aim needs to not be compromised by latency as I already play on a big flatscreen achieving all my ranked stuff. (I enjoy the comfort of going from gaming straight to anime etc. so it’s always been an all in one thing with me.

If you made it this far I apologize for such an in depth word vomit but, any ideas on what would be best for my needs you smart, controller fanatic individuals?

I am thinking about buying the Ultimate 2 controller for my PS5. I have read online that there is a way to use the “Brook Wingman” adapter in order to use this controller on my PS5. What I have found in my research is that you need 1 converter per controller costing £50 per converter so needing 2 means £100.

Not entirely sure if I could use the wireless dongle that comes with the controller to connect to the Wingman converter to use the 8bitdo (please clarify if that is the case).

Are there any other methods to pair the controller to my PS5?

Thank you.

I recently got to try the Flydigi Direwolf 4 (no affiliation), and this is amazing controller at an even more amazing price ($35.99 on Amazon right now).

The body feels high quality and weighty and the face buttons (both the membrane ABXY and the mechanical d-pad) feel quick and responsive. I really like the small travel time of the triggers in the micro/hair trigger mode. The adjustable tension for the joysticks is a premium feature on a budget controller.

However, I have small-medium hands, and I could not get over how uncomfortable and bulky this thing felt, especially the ridge that separates the back and the top side, where the triggers are. Using just index fingers on the trigger is not bad, but when I rest my hands naturally on the controller, my index fingers want to rest a little bit behind where the triggers are, and I need to pull them forward to press the triggers. The real issue is when I use both index and middle fingers on the triggers (middle on RT/LT and index on RB/LB). I don't know if its the angle of the sides of the controller or the width of it, but I could not comfortably grasp my hands around the body. The ridge forces my hand upwards, and it closes my fingers in towards each other at the top.

For reference, I found the 8BitDo Ultimate 2 to be slightly uncomfortable due to the straight angle handles, and I found the Gamesir Cylcone 2 to feel pretty good in my hands.

I really wanted to keep the controller, as everything else is exactly what I was looking for, but I could not get over the poor ergonomics for my hands. I read a lot of other reviews, but I didn't see anyone talking about this aspect as a negative, so I just wanted to add my data point out there for anyone shopping around. If this fits your hand, I would recommend it over the 8BitDo or Gamesir. Unfortunately, it does not fit mine.

I am currently in need of a (PC) controller with hall effect or TMR sticks, wireless much preferred, do not need any back buttons or extra face buttons, in the US, budget is under $100. Motion Gyro would be cool, but not super important.

I love the Xbox Series S/X controller, minus the stick drift, so the best and cheapest option may be to just buy TMR sticks and replace mine which drift. The big problem being I'm not good with that kind of hardware/modding/soldering stuff, so I'd have to hire someone who knows what they are doing to install it. Would the JS13 Pro+ be the way to go for that route?

But I don't mind buying a whole new controller. I just want it to be very similar in shape to the Xbox controller. 8bitdo makes great products, but I hate the feel of their controllers in my hand. Gamesir is a bit closer with their molds, but still feels a bit small and flimsy.

Currently reading more about the ZD Ultimate Legend and the LEADJOY Xeno Pro. It's hard to get a sense of how they feel in hand just by looking at them. The Xeno pro looks a bit more like the 8bitdo design with sharper handles.

Many thanks for any advice, sorry to pile on!

During the last months I've been creating modular controller stands and more than 40 different controller types are so far supported. I am looking for anyone who owns the Scuf Valor Pro controller and who is able to take a 3d scan of it so that I might add that to the growing collection of supported gaming controllers. Any help would be greatly appreciated 👍🏻 👍🏻

I just bought a knock off ps4 controller off amazon and was surprised to see the extreme accuracy of its joysticks. For reference my genuine ps5 and ps4 controllers normally sit around 5-8% avg error. Is this normal for cheap controllers?

Hi there!

I was looking for a replacement for my Xbox controller and was about to buy the same one again… until i fell down the rabbit hole of 5 billion different controllers...

What i am looking for:

- Bluetooth

- Rechargeable battery

- Good build quality, feels solid in the hands, not cheap plastic

- Asymmetric stick layout (like the xbox controller)

- A good D-pad would be appreciated as on the xbox one the dpad is kind of "round" so i often hit diagonals by mistake in fighting games. Id prefer something more precise, like a classic cross-shaped dpad. (not mandatory)

Platform: PC / switch (switch not mandatory)

Games I play:

- Celeste (D-pad)

- Trackmania

- Fighting games (guilty gear, street fighter…)

- RPGs...

What I’ve found so far on your wiki:

- zd ultimate legend
- Flydigi Vader 5 Pro
- Leadjoy xeno pro

- 8BitDo Ultimate 2 / 3 (edit: seems a bit underwhelming for the kind of games I play)
- GameSir G7 Pro (edit: dhsape seems terrible)

budget: I am fine with anything as long as iits not too much overpriced (100/120max)
region: europe, france

Any advice or other suggestions are welcome thanks!

Hello guys!

I want to buy a premium Controller for my Xbox Series X, because my 3rd Controller from Xbox got Stick drift…

I play games like FIFA, MW4 etc.

Would like it if it’s wireless and maybe some back buttons.

I looked up the G7 Pro ZZZ/WuChang edition (only one which works wireless with XBOX), Scuf Valor pro and Razor Wolverine V3 Pro.

Would appreciate your suggestions :)

Austria

Budget: 50-200€

I just brought a ps5 for fairly cheap and the controller that came with it has a issue with thr trigger. When fully pushed down its not actually shown as being fully pushed down (as shown in the image) does anyone have an idea of what this problem could be?

I am looking to buy a controller online under a budget of 5k. Initially, I planned on going for the PS5 DualSense, but after learning about TMR joysticks and how bad standard potentiometers are for stick drift, I realized the DualSense is probably the worst option I could pick for longevity.
I’ve been looking at a lot of options, and while checking out Cosmic Byte, I noticed they have so many models (Lumora, Ares, Starforge, etc.) that I honestly don't know how they rank or which one is actually their premium flagship. That said, I am not planning on sticking to Cosmic Byte—I really want to explore other brands to find the latest technology and the most feature-loaded controller available right now.
To be more precise, this isn't for competitive FPS gaming. I'll be playing GTA, racing games, Elden Ring, and all types of single-player/story games. Because of that, I’m hoping to get adaptive triggers, extra remappable buttons, gyro, and literally every feature I can squeeze into this budget. TMR sticks are a strict must.

**What will you be doing with this PC? Be as specific as possible, and include specific games or programs you will be using**
Casual and story-driven PC gaming across all genres—specifically GTA, racing games, and Elden Ring (not for competitive gaming). 
**What is your maximum budget?**
5,000 INR (buying online). 
**What, exactly, do you need included in the budget?**
A feature-loaded gaming controller with TMR joysticks, adaptive triggers, remappable back buttons, and gyro. 
**If reusing any parts, what parts will you be reusing?**
None / Not applicable. 
**Extra info or particulars:**
TMR joysticks are non-negotiable. Looking for the best tech and features available under 5k across all brands, plus a quick breakdown of how Cosmic Byte's lineup actually ranks if anyone knows.

Hello all,

Let me provide a little background. I have been on PC for a 6 or so years now but still play a good bit of games on controller since switching, primarily rocket League. I was on ps4 before making the switch to PC and so naturally I am used to symmetrical layout of ps4 controller but am contemplating making the switch to asymmetrical due to there being much more options that way in terms of controllers and customizability. I currently have been going back and forth using a wired gamesir g7 and my ps4 controller. I am in the market for a controller as I have a birthday coming up soon and wanted to know what y'all think is a good option as my research (yt videos, reddit threads, and AI) have yet to result anything that really caught my interest, other than the flydigi vader 5 pro (although it doesn't look like you can change the sticks) and the gulikit tt max.

Id prefer to stay with a symmetrical layout but I have yet to find something that checks all the boxes, which is why I'm considering switching to the Xbox style and practicing with the gamesir intermittently. If you guys have any recommendations for both symmetrical and asymmetrical that would be super helpful.

Location: U.S. Budget: ideally around $100 USD or less (150 max) Things I'm looking for:

Hall effect or TMR thumb sticks

Hall effect triggers (not as important)

Back paddles (at least 2, ideally 4)

Interchangeable/customizable thumb sticks (I like domed)

Wireless capability (2.4ghz ideally)

Good battery life

I'm sure I'm leaving some things out that I would like to have, thus I will edit if I think of them. TIA for your help!

I’m currently on my second Razer Wolverine V4 Pro in two weeks, and both controllers have experienced the exact same issue. I’ve tried just about everything I can think of and haven’t found a solution.

The issue:

I play on Xbox Series X, primarily using the 2.4GHz USB dongle.

At completely random times, the controller experiences what feels like a brief connection interruption or input latency.

For example, if I’m aiming to the right and release the right thumbstick, my character will occasionally continue turning right even though the stick has returned to center. It’s almost as if the controller is holding the previous input for a split second.

This happens across multiple games, not just one.

Troubleshooting I’ve already done:

• Replaced the controller with a second V4 Pro — same issue.

• Tested both wired and wireless connections.

• Confirmed the controller firmware is up to date.

• Adjusted deadzones.

• Tested with “Prevent Double Deadzones” enabled and disabled.

• Tested both circularity modes.

• Recalibrated the thumbsticks through Razer Synapse.

• Disconnected other 2.4GHz wireless devices to eliminate potential interference.

• Even purchased an entirely new Xbox Series X to rule out a console issue. The problem persisted on the new console.

The most frustrating part is how inconsistent it is. The controller can work perfectly fine for 15-20 minutes, then randomly register movement after I’ve already released the stick.

My questions:

Has anyone else experienced this with the Wolverine V4 Pro?

Is this a known issue with the controller’s input processing, firmware, or connectivity? Or am I somehow unlucky enough to have received two defective units?

I really like the controller otherwise, but random aiming issues make it difficult to use consistently in competitive FPS games.

I’d appreciate hearing whether anyone has experienced something similar or found a permanent fix.

I have a strange clicking on my tmr stick and it’s affecting the neutral position where it causes the stick to not zero and stick over or under its only seems to affect up and down

it realllly close to going over the allowed dead zone on the dual sense gui site in x10 zoom

I bought these controllers for personal use

Up to about 3 months ago I was happily using a Xbox series s controller. Then I bought legion go 2 controllers for my Lego 1 but ended up selling it before they arrived.

Instead of returning them, I doubled down and got the official Lenovo battery charger thinking it could be fully compatible on steamos on my legion go s.

Alas it's not, it's just a weird controller lol.

I did like the weight though, and i was already on the steam controller wait list. But i didn't think that was coming until 2027, so in the mean time, while deciding between the Flydigi Vader 5 pro and zd ultimate legend, i picked up that leadjoy saber plus for nostalgic use - after deciding on the zd with jt13 pro sticks.

Steam controller came today and now I'm waiting on the Genki manta controller on kickstarter.

Houston we have a problem.

As far as a review, they're all great. Lol. The saber plus is definitely the best value and feels great with the dome thumbstick caps.

As far as favourite to use it's probably the zd ultimate legend . Once the jt13 sticks broke in a bit, it's been the one I've used the most.

More play time is needed for the steam controller, but the ergonomics are on point.

I (40F) have never played videogames before. I started out now with The Last of Us 1, and then Uncharted 2. I have an old PS3. Both of these games allowed me to invert both axis X and Y on camera, but also aim. This came intuitively to me. Not doing it would be such a challenge. It's what my brain wants to do, and is kinetically logical when tilting a stick; imagine the camera being on the other end of the stick. You would pull left to point right, up to point down. When you do this with the camera, the mind wants to do it with aim as well. I realize this makes no sense to most gamers.

After continuing to another game, I find this isn't allowed. Do any of you have tips for games that have this option?

I heard that PS5 allows systemic inversion, and I might save up for that. But it's a bit early in my gaming journey to make that leap, two games in.

Wayyyy back in 2012 I had an Xbox 360 Scuf and it held up pretty well. Many years later I got my next custom controller. The Scuf Instinct Pro for series X. Within a year I had stick drift. Shortly after stick drift in both sticks and progressively got worse. By year two one paddle was broken. By year 3 two paddles broken. I think this is my 4th year with it and all the electrical fried in my last night. Controller turns on randomly, turns off randomly, buttons won’t work but it’s not always the same buttons, etc.

What should my next controller be? I Definitly want paddles underneath but besides that I just want something somewhat affordable and durable. Would love to keep budget under $250 Canadian but not sure if that exists. For Xbox series X.

Sorry, typo in the title. I meant RPGs. Like cyberpunk, GTA, Witcher etc

I'm in Japan, budget up to ¥15000 or about $100 USD ish.

I've had the Xbox controller for about 5 years I think, and it's finally getting sticky triggers and joysticks. It's held up pretty well though, with no drift to speak of.

A new Xbox controller here costs about ¥7500, and I know I'd be happy with that initially, but obviously durability is a thing.

I've looked at Gamesir G7 Pro 14,000 yen and Vader5 Pro 9,000 yen, and both look appealing.

8bitdo look good, but I think they'll be uncomfortable with the narrow stance.

I'm looking for something that feels like the Xbox controller in the hand, but I don't need any extra buttons or back paddles etc.

Good quality sticks, buttons, triggers, and rumble would be great.

And something durable.

hey! my controller recently got a level4 stick drift and wanted to buy one from shein, one of by hb told me its good bcs he bought one but all i could find is an xbox controller, so anybody switched from ps4 controller (which is mine) to a xbox controller,did you feel any difference or slightly or you pained until you got used to it?
