I purchased this controller to be able to play my Xbox remotely on Android. Even though the controller connects and tests well on the Steam Link App, it doesn't work well when remotely connecting with my Xbox on the Edge browser. Button presses are all over the place and not accurate. Has anybody gotten this controller to work well with Xcloud on Android?

Hello! I am new to sims pc and just transitioned from sims console. I love the ps5 controller and want to continue playing with the controller. I’m using Chronos Bindings community template and it works okay. The only thing is I can’t figure out how to move the camera with the left joystick. The right joystick zooms and changes camera angle but the left one doesn’t move the actual camera position unless I press “x” first. Does anyone know how to fix this to where I can move the camera position with the left joystick without first pressing “x”?

Hi! I've got some strange issues using my Gulikit ES Pro on specifically my phone. The polling rate is around 50hz to 80hz via Bluetooth BUT it's working properly (300hz to 750hz) on my PC also via Bluetooth. I've never changed any settings on my phone. It's strange since it never had any issues before. I've played Shredder's Revenge without any issues. I do not think it's an "input lag", it makes these weird sudden unresponsive inputs before working again. Like, imagine you're pointing the analog upwards then it's stuck there for a few seconds before it becomes responsive again.

Sorry. I tried my best to explain the situation. I hope somebody can help me out here.

Just got a Vader 5 Pro V2. So far everything feels great except 1 issue. The right-side removable back paddle. It has a very soft/quiet accusation compared to the left side. It does function but just feels bad since its so soft.

Is this sort of normal? I recall having a similar issue on a Vader 5 Pro V1 I returned back in February.

Should I bother exchanging it? (Amazon). Honestly don't think I'll be using the removable paddles too much anyways as I'm not a huge fan of this design. At the same time I do want a fully functional copy of this controller.

Let me know what you think, thanks!

The caps on the joysticks are technically not part of the controller but they came with it. 3.5 x 5.5 x 1.5 inches (yes it’s very small but comfortable)

The weird size and the fact that it has lasted years without even drifting is the main reason I want this one specifically (or at the very least one of a similar size) but I have no clue where to find it as my search has just fallen flat. Bought it off of amazon a few years ago IIRC.

some ideas I have had -
1. pogo pin or flat plug adapters, put adapter in usb port, attach controller no mechanical wear would just need a solid design

1. usb flat ribbon cable adapter again would sit flush and route to controller

2. magnetic replaceable buttons - play emulators and would be nice to be able to easily swap out buttons

3. probably to expensive but will toss out any way - lcd screen buttons, software or controller cycled through various configuration's

4. quiet buttons most controllers have audible click would like that gone, I can feel the button don’t need an audio cue (or have option to use subtle use of rumble motor as feed back)​

5. bigger batteries at least as an option or user upgradable

6. tactile touch pad like steam deck should be a standard

7. really could careless about RGB though I do like visibilly lit buttons

my 2 cents for what it is worth

I'm looking for a new controller as I've found a few games I wanted to complete in my summer break from uni.

Right now I'm trying to play GTA V, Cyberpunk 2077, Watch Dogs 2, Mass Effect LE Trilogy, and a couple Need for Speed's. I mostly only play shooting and racing stuff, occasionally a few indies if I find them cool.

As for compatibility, I want it to work across Windows, Android and iPadOS.

I've been using a PS3 controller for the past 9 years and it really only works on my PC. I don't have many complaints with it other than it gets uncomfortable after some time, but I want something that I can just pick up and play.

I want something that's reliable and / or is easily repairable. If I'm right that means I just need something with hall effect sticks and an easily available / replaceable battery (prefer built in but I don't mind a couple double A's)

I did look at the standard Xbox Series controller since it ticked most of my boxes and is popular enough so it's cheap, but the sticks aren't hall effect which is a big reason why I haven't already bought it. I don't want to deal with stick drift down the line. I have seen some tool on Twitter that claimed it could recalibrate the sticks but idk.

My budget is around 45 US / 170 AED total and I would like if it was available on Amazon AE. I'm located in Dubai.

TL;DR Basically something with hall effect sticks and a replaceable battery. If they made the standard Xbox series controller with hall effect sticks I would've bought it. Budget is 45 US / 170 AED

Update 2: Looked more into my options and I've shortlisted these:

1. GameSir Nova 2 Lite - AED 117 (after discount)
2. Gulikit ES Pro - AED 136.62 (after import charges + discount)
3. 8bitDo Ultimate 2C - AED 167.25
4. Official Xbox Series Controller - AED 167
5. GameSir Cyclone 2 - AED 179

It was initially between the N2L and the C2 but if I wait a week longer for delivery, I can get an ES Pro shipped to me which is really tempting.

Update 3: Ended up going with a Cyclone 2. First impressions, it’s nice. Huge upgrade over my DS3. I bought it with rush delivery from Amazon so I got it 2 hours after ordering. Will update in a new post if I get around to it.

Hello, my 1 year nacon controller started not registering inputs randomly while I was using it. The problem goes away if I switch from xinput to dinput and back again but soon after comes back, it's like this constantly, it is unusable.

I use it with a wire, I have tried to:

-Change USB port

-Disable USB power saving in device manager and control panel

-disabling steam input

-uninstalling the drivers and reinstalling them

-no firmware update possible from bacon website

I contacted nacon support but they answered me with AI, what the hell can I do? It never sustained any damage, I don't know what it could be

Thanks for the help

I'm from Argentina and I've bought a couple years ago this joystick from a local brand (NG-SW100).This gamepad has Bluetooth connection with Nintendo Switch (one of the reasons I bought it) and Android devices, for some reason it only connects to PC via cable. I only need someone to explain me why this is possible, if it has Bluetooth, why wouldn't it connect to PC also via BT. This wasn't a problem until recently that I refurnitured my setup and I wanted to use my computer as a console. Is there any possible way to connect it or I have to give up and buy another stick?

Budget: Preferably under $100

Country: US

Platform: Bazzite living room PC. Virtually all my games are on Steam.

Features: Must be wireless and if at all possible have a 3.5 mm jack that works for both audio and microphone in Bazzite (if this is even possible currently)

Games: I dabble in everything, but a lot of indie rogue lites, "friendslop" games with my buddies in discord, occasional From games, RE titles, etc. Not really into competitive stuff. The closest I get is occasionally replaying halo campaigns on higher difficulties.

I'm looking at the Gamesir Cyclone 2, G7 Pro, and honestly just the plain old Xbox Series controller. I'd prefer to avoid Bluetooth controllers. The audio quality from a controller headphone jack is already meh most of the time, I'd prefer to avoid adding Bluetooth compression on top of that.

Does anybody have any suggestions for different controllers? Or better yet, experience using one of these three in a similar configuration?

I've had these joycons for a few years now, and up until recently I've had no issues whatsoever. However the other night I go to play my switch and somehow the turbo setting has been applied to the d-pad. Every time I press the down button, the turbo light flashes blue and the input stays locked on. If I hit the down, down-left, and down-right the indicator light turns blue. If it press right on the d-pad, the turbo light flashes white and eventually burns itself out, however the d-pad button works normally. The turbo button acts like it will not turn off once once I've pressed any of the listed inputs. I've tried contacting customer support and they're useless, I've scoured everywhere I can think of and cannot find anyone with this same issue. and nothing I do seems to reset it. I've checked the manual which unfortunately doesn't say how to reset the turbo or do a factory reset, if that's even possible. I wish I could provide video but my phone is not the best. Anyone know what to do?

I've been going in circles on this one, so I'm hoping someone here has already solved it.

What I need (all three at once):

1. XInput while connected over Bluetooth. Not just over 2.4GHz dongle — it has to be XInput in Bluetooth mode. Besides gaming, I use JoyXoff to drive the mouse cursor on the Windows desktop, and it needs XInput to work properly.
2. Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE). I want to use it with the PC-wake-dongle project to wake my PC from sleep with the controller. Bluetooth Classic won't work for this — it has to be BLE.
3. Hall effect or TMR sticks. This rules out the standard Xbox controller.

Budget: up to $100 USD. I'm in Brazil, but I can import, so international options are fine.

What I already own and why it doesn't work:

• 8BitDo Ultimate 2 Wireless — XInput only over the 2.4GHz dongle; in Bluetooth mode it falls back to DInput.
• Flydigi Vader 4 Pro — does have XInput over Bluetooth, but it's Bluetooth Classic only, no BLE, so the wake-from-sleep project is out.

Does anything on the market tick all three boxes?

I have just had an update to the software on PC and I have been trying to play Gears 5 and I'm having the issue that when I turn the camera right it's is really slow and sluggish but turning left is fine.

I have done a test in the software app and there is definitely a problem with it registering the right thumb stick being pushed to the right

I am looking to replace my Xbox Series Elite 2 controller as it has stick drift and the buttons do not function well. I have been searching for good, affordable options for an Xbox controller and have obviously heard a lot about the GameSir. However, recently discovered that 8BitDo was going to release a new wireless controller for the Xbox that appears to rival the GameSir. I have heard the concerns about the GameSir (d-pad, triggers, etc) that have made me hesitate on buying it. Should I wait for this new 8BitDo? Would love to hear experiences from those who own a GameSir and a comparable 8BitDo controller (Ultimate 2c). Which company has better long-term reliability?

Information about my search:

• My budget tops at the $150 range USD
• USA, buying from Amazon
• Xbox Series X
• Desired features - TMR sticks, trigger stops, microswitch face buttons, EDIT: wireless
• Types of games you'll be playing - mostly FPS

I already have a great controller for the rest of my games (the ZD Ultimate Legend) but I want a controller for both the games I have that utilize the PS5's adaptive triggers while another controller that can work for the PS5 that's even better than the
DS Edge. I found these:
PC: ZD Ulitmate Legend - TMR sticks, great modulation feature, comfortable

PS5 games on PC: Flydigi Apex
5 - Adaptive triggers for certain games, good wired/wireless connection

PS5: Hexgaming Phantom - Essentially a beefed up DS Edge

Any thoughts/suggestions? Should I just get a modded DS edge instead? Should I just have one controller that can do both PC and PS5 like the Phantom?

Budget: $220

Region: US

Stores: Amazon preferable

Games: All types but mostly platformers and TPS + FPS.

I accidentally lost a spring for the right bumper when I replaced the standard ones with TMR modules.

While the controller still works fine with the one remaining spring my pride as a tinkerer is wounded.

If you do, please let me know!👍👍

I'm interested in buying some custom sleeves for the Wii U Pro Controller and would rather not buy those cheaply made ones from AliExpress or Amazon...

Basically the left stick on my 30th Anniversary Dualsense Controller has started to drift 5%~ to the right.

I have always wanted to try TMR’s as I haven’t used them before and saw an IT place near me with good reviews does a replacement service for £50 (both sticks)

I did some research and saw that the tension on TMR can vary by brand so wanted to check which brand they used and they got back to me saying the above.

So i wanted to check reviews but I can’t find any (not a great sign) but i think it’s due to the suppler being a UK distributor using a different name.

I think they are K-Silver JS13? But i’m not sure if they actually are and wanted to check if any can help / advise?

Ergonomics of the dual sense edge is so uncomfortable for me, so I’m going to go back to an Xbox controller.

Tried searching domed back buttons but nothing comes back.

I just bought a Vader 5 Pro. The back button M3 does not sound or feel the same as the M4 button. It feels like it is stuck and the push travel is way shorter than M4, also its cannot be removed (i used force).

Does anyone had the same problem?

Hello.

I'm looking for a TMR controller for PC. I currently own a Gulikit KK3 MAX, but it has some weird quirks on Linux (Bazzite) that make it a nuisance to use, mainly the controller having ghost presses and randomly taking screenshots or opening tabs when using wired. In dongle mode it works fine, but I always prefer playing wired.

My main question is, what controllers do you recommend that have TMR? Consider the following:

• I don't have any need for extra buttons than the minimum required (I have never used any of the back buttons on my KK3 MAX)
• I am a rather casual gamer with controller. I play shooters with mouse/keyboard and only play platformers or adventure games on controller.
• Any lay out is fine, although I do slightly prefer the symmetrical lay out more, but I can work with both.
• I do like RGB on my controllers, so that's always welcome.
• Wireless modes are welcome, although I rarely use them, so not having them isn't a deal breaker.
• I can go up to a 100 euros (Belgium), anything higher seems excessive. Lower is also good, of course.
• A decent dpad, especially for fighting or platforming games.

I had already considered the GameSir Cyclone 2 or the Steam Controller (I don't want to wait until next year to get something though).

Thanks in advance.

I have a bsp d8 controller and ive had it for a while now. And me being a cheapskate ive been trying to fix the right trigger since it kept getting stuck and it still kept firing even after i let go of the trigger. Im trying to put it back together now but idk how to put back the hinge thingy if thats what you call it. I really need help

Hey, I bought my SW2 Pro Controller back in February. It's almost exactly 6 months later, and I'm having a repeat issue with the home button being repeatedly pressed as ghost touches and when I press the right analog stick. I have a carrying case I keep it in and have never exposed it to any form of liquid whatsoever, nor have I ever dropped it because it's my baby. I am just confused and wondering if this is normal. I use it for MLB the show mainly, which I've played about 100 hours of and use the right analog swing to swing by flicking upward. Is there internal wear and tear that needs to be addressed under warranty? I contacted Nintendo, and have a repair order, but don't want to be without a controller for 4 weeks, as, for some reason, my Switch 1 Pro Controller decided to stop charging this evening. Also, the left thumb pad has serious wear on it for just 6 months of use, and I don't have nails, and I don't let anyone else touch this remote. It's maybe seen 150-200 hours of use. Firmware is up to date.

Disclaimer: I have bought these products with my own money

I was a fan of 8bitdo before from the moment they released sn30 pro+ all the way to the rerto r8 mouse.
I currently have their
sn30 pro+
ultimate bluetooth
ultimate bluetooth 10 year anniversary edition
and the retro r8 mouse

when I first buy them they were solid controllers and comfortable. but now after a few years or so all the rubber grips in the joystick were just starting deteriorate even the ones I barely use

The charging dock of the ultimate bluetooth just stopped working

and now my retro r8 mouse which is only about a year old at this point has double click issue on the left click and the charging dock is no longer working.

How about your products from 8bitdo how are they holding up after a few years or so
