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?

    Update the firmware on a windows VM and then turn it on while holding b to go I to dimput, if you want it to go back to x input turn it of and then on while holding a.

    On dimput you can use the extra shoulders, the paddles, the gyro and the accelerometer

      Have they released another update? I’ve already updated it when they announced the steam compatibility. I was able to get it to dinput and work once, but it reverted and wasn’t able to get it to work with he dongle and recognize the back paddles again.

        When you turn it on by the menu button (8bitdo logo button) hold either a or b for xinput or dimput mode, on ximput it only has the same buttons as an Xbox controller, but on dinput you get the extra buttons the gyro and the accelerometer
