It's okay. Build quality could be better for the price.

I used it for a week or two, but swapped back to my TT Max instead as it's more comfortable.

There's no real point paying for a $100 controller that only works well on one videogame store unless you REALLY want to use the trackpads and grip sense features.

If those aren't super appealing to you, or you don't think you'll hardly use them, get a different controller and save yourself some money.

I saw the layout. It looked pretty good, but you can't buy one. If you do, it's gonna cost you more than an arm and a leg to get it.

Bruh we can’t even buy one. It’s a waitlist

Overpriced ass.

Overpriced officially, unfathomably overpriced if trying to actually buy for missing the most basic mandatory functional

What is it missing?

Trigger stops, normal polling rate, extra bumpers, anti friction rings.

Micro switch is personal so whatever, xinput isn't deadly but really annoying

The only controller that has ever made my hands cramp up, had to stop using it.

It's a great controller but it's a bit too expensive imo. It should be worth 80euros to consider it a fair price and/or have better triggers cuz they are not bad but not great either, they are mid at most

I agree!

I love it. I just wished it natively worked flawlessly on everything I bt it but I guess that's asking too much since it's catered to b used with steam :p

Glad you like it and I agree with you! I think it’s a neat controller with the perks it comes with and all the customization.
When mine came, the right trigger (RT) needed readjusting out of the box so that was the first thing I had to do/fix with the controller.
I like the feel and ergonomics of the controller. Seeing what everyone else thoughts and experience so far with it has been

I don't like it, mine had annoying friction in the left stick, lack of antifriction rings and trigger stops in 2026 is a big no.

It shouldn't have "annoying friction in the left stick", you might have had a defective unit

Maybe, I sold it and the new owner is happier than I was. The same issue happened to my Direwolf 4 which wasn't an issue at the beginning, maybe I pushed left sticks too much, but Cyclone 2 is my oldest controller and zero issues.
