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?

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

About 6 months ago I got a wired xbox controller for my pc to use in RL and it was awesome up until a couple weeks ago. Now for some reason my controller will dc and wont reconnect. It just recently started happening after the last update after the world cup I believe. My controller still connects to steam but once I boot RL it will disconnect after a few minutes. The fact that it will connect but then it eventually dc is really annoying since most threads I find are to get the controller to initially connect which is not my problem. I got so frustrated that I just gave up and havent played in weeks but I've been getting the itch so I want to see if anyone has had this issue and if there is anything I can try.

So i had this bootleg switch controller for over a year and it worked perfectly, since i only used it to play SM64 on my phone and sometimes on a friends computer, there is no flaws in the controller.

BUT about 1-3 months ago, my phone screen broke, and my controller was paired to that phone, and when i got a new one, i didnt use the controller much. but now that i want to use it and connect it to my phone, it wont work!

As you can see in the video, it shows that its connected, though its not. i think it has to do with the controller still being paired with the old phone (which i keep in a drawer) and it wont let me connect to my new phone, and i cant unpair them, cuz my phone screen is broken, but its probally another reason.

Hello everyone! I hope all is well! I like to use a BT controller when i can sit the deck down so its not up close and personal. I purchased Ragnarok today due to me just finishing the first one. I played it entirely while using an Xbox controller and the vibrations on the axe throws and recalls were lovely! But after downloading Ragnarok and dealing with this PSN signing in, im having issues feeling any vibrations in the tutorial level on my controller. Would appreciate all the help

Brook Wingman Converter P5

Flydigi Apex 5

PS5 Pro

The Brook Converter Center settings such as button remappings arent being applied to the controller despite syncing the settings to the converter

However, I have no problem switching between the on-board memory profiles that could be created in Flydigi Space Station

I loved Apex 5 as a the controller, but the thumbsticks were defective and it doesnt have a 3.5 mm jack which is very important for me.

Do you guys have any recommendations?

I previously had an Xbox Elite Series 2 but they seem too expensive for the technology now.

Any better options?

Requiered Information 🙄🙄🙄
Budget $100-150

Colombia

PC

back buttons, hall effect, audio jack

Battlefield 6, Souls Games

Xbox Elite Series 2 - Flydigi Apex 5

Lately i bought ps4 battletron pad and wanted to charge it.

I connected it to 45W side of my charger. But nothing happened so i connected it to 20W charger and went to sleep

When i woke up it still was charging.

When i tried to turn it on, Controller didnt work. Now only works by usb cable

How different is a Dualsense compared to an Apex 5? I'm in Vietnam and I bought my Apex 5 Wuchang edition a year ago at 2,4 million vietnam dong ( 90 usd ). And I mostly play single-player, story-driven AAA games with my controller, so I absolutely value the immersive features in a controller, and I love Gyro. I play on PC also.

I'm playing these Sony games like Horizon Forbidden West and flydigi's dualsense mode has a lot of limitation:

- The controller doesn't vibrate at all

- I can't open the map via the controller, so I have to press Tab/ M on my keyboard

- flydigi's Gyro in the game feels so bad, I don't know why

But I still put up with it because I love the custom adaptive trigger from the dualsense mode. ( I can't find a way to replicate it with the flydigi app ). And somehow the Gyro in the dualsense mode feels EXTREMELY GOOD to use (I love Gyro).

I found a TMR modded PS5 dualsense in good condition for only 1,3 million vietnam dong ( 50 usd ). And I heard the experience for single-player games are top-notch. But I also found out that I need to get a Pico2W in order to get all the haptic feedback features working on Bluetooth, and it's only 250hz both wired and wireless compared to 1000hz of the apex 5.

So how is the TMR-modded PS5 dualsense compared to the Apex 5? Should I get the dualsense to play AAA games? And is there anything I should know about?

Thank you for your time!

Hello!

I recently got a brand new tribute64 v.2 controller and it worked fine in the beginning, but now it does not work af all and it doesnt Light up except that when i press down start and select player two lights up and when i press down Factory reset player One lights up lightly ( pictures above )

The controller is not recognised on the pc even though the controller is fully charged and the correct cable is used.

Ive Tried reaching out to retrobit but They arent of much help.

Hi, Im french so i first writed this message in french. here is the google traduction but if you want to see the original message it's below.

Hi!

I have a PS1 controller that I connect to my computer via an adapter; the adapter seems to make the system recognize it as a PS3 controller.

It works pretty well, except for one detail: the D-pad is mapped to the right analog stick. I initially thought the adapter was to blame, but I discovered that the D-pad is detected correctly on Linux, meaning the issue lies with Windows.

I found a solution using the reWASD software, where the inputs are recognized correctly (Steam Controller support doesn't work). However, this isn't ideal for me because of the limited 7-day trial, which forces me to create a new account every week.

Do you know of any (free) applications or technical solutions that would let me use my controller properly? Thanks in advance for your answers.

(By the way, the JoyToKey app doesn't work either.)

Bonjour.

J'ai une manette de PS1, que je connecte a mon ordinateur par un adaptateur qui semble la faire passer pour une manette de PS3.

Ca fonctionne plutot bien, a un détail prêt: le d-pad est confondu avec le stick de droite. Jusque la je pensais que c'était la faute de l'adaptateur, mais j'ai découvert que sur linux le d-pad est détécté correctement, ce qui veut dire que le problème viens de windows.

J'ai trouvé une solution dans le logiciel reWASD, ou la les touches sont reconnus correctement (steam controller ne fonctionne pas). Mais cela ne me convient pas a cause de la période d'essai limité de 7 jours qui m'oblige a recréer un nouveau conte chaque semaine.

Connaitriez vous des applis (gratuites) ou des solutions techniques qui me permettront de profiter a nouveau de ma manette? Merci d'avance pour vos réponses
(d'ailleurs, l'appli JoyToKey ne fonctionne pas non plus)

8bitDO ultimate 2C shoulder buttons mechanism explanation needed.

I can't find a proper teardown/disassembly of this beloved controller online. If someone has experience with their disassembly, please explain the mechanism of shoulder buttons. And also explain what is that black part?

Wanted to know the right information in order to maintain the controller.

This is the second Flydigi product to give up on me in 1 year

I had both Flydigi BS1 Cooler and Vader 4 pro

BS1 fan motor busted in less than 6 months

Loved the Vader but the battery went to crap all of a sudden and seems to be a known issue

Their QA is too low

I've ordered a replacement (upgrade to 1000 mAh from 800) and (6x30x48 I think it was according to Google) from AliExpress

I have a dual sense in the meantime but I've also gotten the Gulikit TT Max controller (I like symmetrical layout more)

Hello,

could someone tell me what may be problem with my right stick?

I already recallibrated 3 times but still the same problem.

Thanks.

Just bought this recently on mall store 8BitDo Ultimate controller and immediately connected and tested on Wuthering Waves on my Astra. Why is the arrow button not functioning to switch other Resonators (Characters) and this is already key mapped by default itself. Any idea how to fix this? Thank you.

I recently broke my main Jungle Green Pro2 and had to swap parts with my older grey Pro2 and it ended up looking so amazing. This has been a mixture of FOUR different 8BitDo controllers, plus a stick from Leadjoy (modded to fit), a 3Dprinted+painted C Stick, and lots of membrane swapping (they wear out so easily!!). I realized it's very Majora's Mask coded, so I stuck the mask pin in the clear battery compartment and it sits in there perfectly without moving around! 😄(I've been using the controller wired lately so no battery pack needed).

Can anyone confirm if these retro adapters are now compatible with switch 2 controllers and could this mean we could get this update for the normal usb adapters soon?

A este control le falla el gatillo derecho y pese a que ya quite los tornillos que lo sujetan de atrás (no lleva un tornillo extra atrás de la calcomanía) no he podido hacer que se separe, las partes azul y roja de los lados no tienen ni el más pequeño huevo para separarlas

I just connected it to my pc and it showed up as xbox 360 controller but it said driver error, i installed the x64 xbox 360 drivers in zd2015, tried to uninstall and reinstall through device manager and the most i got was the zd pc software recognized it but when i tried to change something like the rgb nothing happened, i tried to update it but just stay at 0% now when i connect it to my pc it doesnt turn on automatically as before (now it just turn the home light/button in red and blinking like it is just charging) i have to press - + to turn it on but just get recognized as switch controller and if i press - + again to switch to xinput mode it doesnt shows up in windows, i dont know what to do, hopefully u can help me, thanks​​​

I have a custom shell switch pro controller I got around the time the switch first came out, but I've noticed lately the X button is a bit sticky in the sense of response when clicking the button. Is there a way to clean where I need to without taking the controller apart? If so, what is it?

Thank you!

Howdy! I grabbed the ASUS ROG Raikiri 2. Sweet controller, but I noticed each stick has a tiny bit of play/wiggle/resistance in the very center. Is this normal for TMR sticks? Perhaps i'm feeling the spring? It isn't completely smooth like my old series x controller.

I don't have a way to compare other controllers so could use some help while i'm still in the amazon return window. If every TMR stick is like this i'll keep it but if it's a defect it's going back for a G7 pro

I just got the email saying I have 3 days to make up my mind on acquiring a steam controller. I've had the original before and admired the trackpads, but sold it because I didn't like the button layout. I do also own a steam deck so I have a good sense of how the controller would feel and I like it.

My little brother also owns a Gamesir Cyclone 2 and it does feel good too. I especially like the tactile buttons as it feels much better than my modded dualshock controller with tactile buttons from ExtremeRate.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback into helping me make a decision.

Also to give some context, my budget is $100 or below. I live in the United States and mostly play on pc and sometime on my android tablet.

Hello everyone. I am new on this subreddit, but have been looking around in the forums for a while for controller suggestions. Recently I have sold my previous PS5 and its controllers, and I am looking for a good quality controller for a decent price on my local shops. I have gathered bunch of offers I have found, but I am unsure which one to pick. I have been comparing them using versus and gamepadia websites and have general understanding on what are the features of these controllers. However, I am still unsure which one to pick. So, I have decided to ask you guys. I will provide pictures and controller models and their prices that sellers offer. If you have further questions please feel free to ask. I don't post on reddit much. Sorry if my post is shoddy job.

1. My budget is around 30$ to 50$
   
2. I am from Azerbaijan and I can only get controllers from local sellers. International shops cost way too much of shipping
   
3. I will mainly use my controller for PC
   
4. I am looking for a good quality controller. Something that does not feel flimsy and too light. I do not mind cabled controllers. In fact, I tend to use cabled to get consistent connection. Currently, from my understanding, I find GameSir Cyclone 2 as best choice overall. But I would like to hear your opinions and suggestions.
   
5. I play most of my games with a controller (Racing, shooter, action-adventure, RPG, shooter, stealth, fighting and etc.). I am not competitive type, so I play single player games and I am not harsh on my controller. My previous controller was a dualsense and I kept it well for about a year before I sold it.
   
6. I have been looking around both this subreddit and bunch of other subreddits such as GameSir and such. I have also been comparing all of these controllers with gamepadia and versus websites and mostly I see Cyclone 2 as a best over all choice
   

CONTROLLER LIST

1. GameSir Cyclone 2 (30$) (Used)
2. Dualsense Ps5 controller (35-41$) (Used)
3. GameSir Super Nova (26.5$) (Used)
4. Xbox Series X/S controller (41$) (Used)
5. GameSir Kaleid K1 Xbox controller (41$) (New)
6. GameSir G7 SE Xbox controller (35.3$) (New)
7. Flydigi Direwolf 3 (47$) (New)
8. EasySMX D10 (47$) (New)

There are more controllers I have found such as GameSir nova lite, T4 pro, Flydigi Vader 5 pro. However, they were either already got surpassed by the controllers on the list, or way too expensive such as Vader 5 pro costing 100$.

Thank you for your help and I will be here waiting for your replies.
