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?
Really? My 8bitdo outlived any other controllers I have owned, minus some features lacking
Not necessarily, I might have been just misinformed or got influenced by the negativity bias. It might actually be good in QC.
Aren't they Bluetooth rather than 2.4ghz? Not sure why you would want that instead though, isn't Bluetooth a better choice?
8bitdo does both. Even though bluetooth is also 2.4ghz and combined with the wifi board these days, I find it struggles more with physical objects worsening the signal or being far or in different rooms like when I used to have my office on the opposite side of the wall the tv is mounted to and used one pc for everything.
Their quality control has gotten worse though. I have an 'ultimate' that had the back paddles crack and fall off, and a pro 3 that had the face buttons shatter right before the end of a perfect attempt at the last berserker fight in god of war ragnarok
Yeah I had a button shatter on my pro 3 too playing hades. Hit up 8 bitdo and they sent me a new set of buttons in the mail quickly.
Oh I'll have to contact them. I forgot not every company is as bullshit as dell. With them even the bot gives you the runaround and makes you wait for it to 'asses the case file' multiple times when literally nothing changed.
Yeah I was impressed as it was during Chinese holidays at the start of the year. The guy replied and said it would be a few weeks as there was no one in the office and they came in the mail a short time after that.
