G7 Pro 8K AimLabs came with crooked joystick and the distributor blocked me instead

I bought a G7 Pro 8K Aimlabs through the official Indonesian distributor store of GameSir products via Shopee. Upon receiving the product and unboxing it, I noticed that the right joystick was tilted, it was taller on one side and leaning to the other. I contacted the seller (GameSir Authorized Distributor) to ask whether they can do an exchange. They said that I should just send the controller back, and they’ll do a full refund.

Return was done using Shopee, but upon receiving my returned product, they dispute the claim and that made me receive back my crooked controller. I have also now seen that they have blocked me from their store, not allowing any sort of contact to them.

Very disappointed in how GameSir react and responded to a customer issue. Although they are great controllers, I just dont feel anymore in purchasing GameSir products, if the response to an issue is by blocking the consumer.

My last hope is the 1st Party Gamesir support, really hope you can make right of this.

Why are people so expensive on controllers???

People are saying that cheap controllers are bad and that i should pay 100 or more dollars just for a single controller, recently i bought a controller for around 25 dollars and it works like a charm, it has all of the necessary buttons and they all work well, it rumbles and its wired. But why do people say these are bad?? Previously i had a controller even cheaper (off brand ps3 sixaxis) and it still works after 10 YEARS, so why should i waste money on controllers that cost hundreds that are supposedly "premium" when these cheaper ones cost less and are the same (and yes my new one has rgb)

Need help identifying what’s wrong

DualShock 4 r2 and l2 triggers are janky. r2 doesn’t give full inputs (works on farm sim but not on shooters). I think the rubber pads are fine they don’t seem worn out but who knows.

Controller recommendation for EA FC 27

Hi everyone,

I’m getting back into the game after about three years. I’ve pre-ordered EA FC 27, and now I’m looking to buy a new controller as well.

I currently have a 9th-gen Xbox controller, and it works perfectly fine. I’m actually very happy with it. However, I recently became interested in TMR and Hall Effect technology, so I decided to get a newer controller with better long-term durability.

I mainly play Ultimate Team, and the controllers I’m currently considering are:

  • Leadjoy Xeno Plus
  • Mojhon Storm
  • GuliKit ES Max (it’s not available in my country yet, but I’m willing to wait a month for it)

The Xeno Plus is about $10 more expensive than the Mojhon Storm. At the moment, I’m leaning towards the Leadjoy Xeno Plus because I’ve seen a lot of people praising its software, especially how stable and well-developed it seems to be.

The main reasons I’m considering these controllers are the low latency and TMR sticks.

So, do you think the Leadjoy Xeno Plus would be a good choice specifically for EA FC 27? Has anyone here used it with EA FC/FC 26 or similar football games? I’m particularly interested in how well the sticks and triggers feel for dribbling, passing, shooting, etc.

I know buying a new controller when my current Xbox controller is working perfectly is probably a bit wasteful, but I’ve got it in my head now and I’m probably going to do it anyway 😂

Since I’m planning to play EA FC regularly for a long time, my biggest priorities are long-term durability, build quality, stick reliability, and low latency.

So, which one would you recommend for someone mainly playing EA FC 27 / Ultimate Team? Is there another controller I should be considering instead?

I’d especially appreciate opinions from people who have actually used these controllers for a while. Thanks!

Joycunchuk! Hey Nintendo, lets talk salary.

The Joycunchuk is the comfort of a Wii Nunchuk with the function of a Switch Joycon.

This is the left of 2 controllers. ^(who would ever have a third handle?!) The right nunchuk would mirror the left like Joycons. Buttons on top and thumbstick or trackpad on the side. The turbo/capture/home buttons would be long grooves similar to paddle/bumper buttons, lightly textured for grip.

Yes, it's paint and snip. Yes, I spent too much time on it. Why?

Most controllers are too small for me, Switch being the worst. It's designed for portability, fair enough. I want this beautiful abomination for home where 99% of my playtime happens. There was also a recent post about designers (editors?) praising the Wii Nunchuk for it's great ergonomics.

Anyone else have a weird controller idea? Anyone wanna 3D print one?

8BitDo Ultimate 3E Review

DISCLAIMER: This controller was sent to my by 8BitDo for free fore review. All the opinions are mine only. No one watched this video before its release.

So, we got Elite 3 before XBox Elite 3 (yes, I saw the leaks, but it is not out yet and we don't know when it will be) and GTA VI... AND IT IS GREAT!

They finally fixed the shape and made it more comfortable. I like Ultimate 2, but could not use it for long playing sessions, because it hurts my hands.

Also, materials feel VERY PREMIUM. And hence the price - 150$ USD. Premium materials + Microsoft licensing = High price.

But again, it is an Elite version of this controller and XBox Elite 2 cost even more - 180$ USD (or even 200$ USD). But 3E beats it in every category, except for maybe 4 back buttons (but 3E has 2 on the top and 2 on the back, so 4 in total as well).

It genuinely feels like a new generation of 8BitDo controllers.

Whether you want/need one is completely up to you.

LeadJoy Xeno Plus: Designed By A Former GameSir Director & Mojhon CEO

Full Disclosure:

LeadJoy sent me this controller for review. They didn’t see this review before I published it. All opinions are my own, and there is no money exchange in the process.

  • Really excellent Software, the main features that caught my eye was the AI recurves and RC filter. The AI recurves should be the first in the industry? I haven't see any company using similar technique. But the RC filter disabled by the latest firmware after Respawn decided to ban the RC filter exploit.
  • While the Xeno Plus is great, but I find the LeadJoy's CEO background more interesting than the controller.

Is good to see a new serious player in the industry.

Why has no one made a DualShock 4 clone?

It's interesting to me that for companies like Gamesir, they can make controllers that are nearly 1:1 with the Xbox style controllers. However, there seems to be no exact copies of the Dualshock 4. I liked the d-pad and ergonomics of that controller but no x-input or USB-C holds it back. I know that there's the 8-bitdo pro 3 and Gamesir Tarantula/Tegenaria, but these are not nearly as close to the DS4 design as some of the Xbox ones. Is the design/style patented or something?

Should i get a gamesir g7 pro or a razer wolverine v3 pro for my pc?

I've just destroyed my old controller and I'm looking for a new one that has a good battery life and is good with fps games and some adventures. I am only interested in these two controllers but i migh still consider otheres. I mostly just play Xbox cloud gaming and I'm looking for a more high end controller. I was just about to buy a wolverine v3 pro but then I started seeing lots of things about the gamesir g7 pro. Money wouldn't be the issue with the razer but by the looks of it the g7 pro looks like it has more features like the charging dock and the removable face wich would be cool but at the same time I feel like maybe wolverine is more better quality. My main selling points are a controller that's wireless on pc and one that just feels satisfying to play with. I also noticed that the wolverine doesn't have rgb wich I find is always nice to have but I guess it helps the battery life?? I personally think that the wolverine is better quality but at the same time the gamesir has more details that I'd like. Idk alot about gaming myself but I'm hoping you could help me with this.

Samsung S95H 65inches Xbox Cloud Gaming Controller support

Its simple i bought the S95H 65 inches. I found basic list of controllers which are supported online. They all list default xbox of PS controllers but those dont contain hall effect sticks.

I want hall effect sticks only so only option is 3rd party. My usecase is Xbox cloud and Ge force now playing on tv directly. I thought xbox certified controllers would solve the problem but information out there is wonky at best with no one willing to commit for certain it works.

I have narrowed down below controllers :

  1. 8BitDo Ultimate 3-mode Controller - Rare 40th Anniversary Edition

  2. 8BitDo Ultimate 3-mode Controller

Now both controllers are pricey af but ill pay up once.

If you fellas know other better controllers with smooth working integration for my use case which are cheaper or around the same price as the 2 listed above please let me know fellas !!

HDMI connected PC to living room TV, but PS5 controller connected to TV only controls TV menu, not the game (Sunshine/Moonlight issue)

Hey everyone, looking for some help with my living room couch gaming setup.

My Setup & Goal:

  • PC is in my bedroom, connected to my living room TV via a long HDMI cable 20m away.
  • I want to play non-Steam offline single-player games (like Mafia, 007, etc.) on the TV.
  • I paired my PS5 DualSense controller directly to my Smart TV via Bluetooth.

The Problem:

  • My PS5 controller connects to the TV, but it only controls the TV’s UI/operating system (navigating TV menus/apps). It does not forward input through the HDMI cable to control the PC or the game.
  • I tried setting up Sunshine on the PC and Moonlight on the TV, but I still can't get the TV to properly forward/pass through the PS5 controller inputs to the PC stream.

What I need advice on:

  1. Is there a specific setting in Sunshine/Moonlight (or Virtual Gamepad drivers like ViGEmBus) to force the Smart TV app to capture and forward controller inputs to Windows?
  2. If TV Bluetooth passthrough isn't viable, would getting a 20m active USB extension cable + Bluetooth dongle (or playing wired) be the best solution?

Any help or configuration tips would be appreciated!

Got cosmic byte blitz upgraded version

I got this controller for 1799 in amazon now in 10 min (with 100rs cashback)

It has ridiculous features like tmr sticks ,hall effect Triggers and most importantly Gyro for this price

This is a features packed controller that gets firmware support, and you don't need to install the app you can use it one site even update the controller

My unit worked flawless but cosmic byte is known for developing problems

Cons

*Shell feels decent but good texture by the way

*Vibrations are more subtle than thumpy (subjective)

*Doesn't feel premium

Overall great value for money

8bitdo substantially feels more premium

I would definitely suggest this controller. For someone who is searching under 2k budget. I don't like to go for evofox x2 pro

For comparison x2pro has Macro buttons good looking rgb and has rubberised grip.

I would highly recommend this controller. I just bought it today. I'm happy with the purchase.

If you're buying any of cosmic bite products, make sure you keep a invoice. And don't know, peel off the sticker with a serial number.

Drop off the thoughts below.
