I want to replace my old GameSir G3s with a controller preferably under €70-75. Initially I wanted an european gamepad but the only 2 options (ready2gaming and snakebyte) was so non existent or questionable that I had to swallow my EU nationalism.
Gaming style:
- Only use controllers where it's highly recommended
- Preferred genre for controllers would be arcade racing and JRPGs mostly
- Will only play on wireless (2.4ghz)
Preferences:
- Either TMR or high quality HE sticks
- Doesn't look boring (preferably it has some amounts of LED / RGB)
- Xbox stick position layout (I want to try it out)
- Linux compatibility (don't care about consöles)
- Doesn't have a shit QC (8bitdo's are apparently like that)
- I have larger hands, so maybe not a small controller
Currently these are some controllers that seems to be in my range. I'm interested if you know about even better controllers.
- GameSir Cyclone 2
- GameSir Supernova
- FlyDigi Direwolf 4?
I bought four Ultimate 2C's for our couch gaming setup. Though we're going to be unpacking everything for that setup in the weekend of the 25th. So if you can wait I'm happy to share my experience with those.
I have the original ultimate for about a year. I don't know how relevant it's going to be, but I never had any issues with it. The triggers and the stiffer sticks definitely feel cheaper compared to the Xbox One controller. The lighter weight might also be the reason. I'm overall really happy with it considering the price. I paid the same for the controller and dock combined as the Xbox controller.
I also bought their Gamecube controller for my Switch a while back, I think three years. The B button stopped working a couple of months later but they sent a new one shortly after I reported it. They didn't even bother to let me ship the broken one back.
I will most likely buy the controller tomorrow or today, but I'm interested about your findings! There might be someone who reada this post after X months and decides based on your input.
Yeah fair, I'll do that then. I hope you're happy with whatever you end(ed) up picking
