1. budget - $40 or less preferably, maybe $50-60 max

2. US

3. Nintendo and Xbox

4. nano/smaller size, gyro for motion controls, hall effect joysticks

5. Halo Infinite via PC, Steam games

6. I normally used the Nintendo Switch Mini/nano Controller, which was perfect for the size but the joysticks died on me. I want to buy a hall effect controller, but I cannot for the life of me find one that's both smaller sized and has motion controls. I found ASRVA Wireless Hall Effect Controller, and GameSir Nova Lite 2 controller, but neither of them are smaller sized.

My hands are too small to play competitively with the default controller size!

Does anyone know of a controller that can fit all 3 of these requirements?

I found them on fb marketpalce and I'm in doubt whether or not they are because of the difference in labels, one white and the other black

Has anyone encountered this? Before installing TMR Joysticks I accidentally knocked off the capacitor near a chip(4th pic) , but then soldered it back on and its okay. Tested it and everything works

Now after installing tmr joysticks

Orange light (like charging light pulse) even tho it's not connected to power or usb to pc

But everything works exept touch pad

It does not detect swipe

When I, press the ps button (orange pulsing light)

Tried resetting the controller still the same

Im looking for a small, cute, portable controller to play on my phone and laptop on travels.

I've seen the IINE Retro Pocket Controller (specifically the pink and the pastel green ones) and loved the concept and features, but the thumbgrips that come with them seem like they would hurt me a bit. And because of the controller shape other thumbgrips with shapes would probably not do well because of the lack of open space.

Is there any other cute and compact/small controller that you could reccomend?

joysticks are a must, given the kinds of games I like to play (usually 3D games that range from farming to exploring)

It needs to be "cute" or be possible to "cuteify" it

My budget is up to 300 reais (Brazilian currency) and you can usually find these kinds of things here on shoppee or ali express.

Hi everyone,

I’m in the market for a new controller, looking to upgrade from my 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth Controller with dock that I got a few years ago for around €45.

I’ve narrowed my options down to the Gamesir G7 Pro 8K and the Razer Wolverine v3 Pro 8k.

1. I’ll like to get the best controller, budget is not a

   b

2. ig issue but obviously prefer to get the cheaper one. G7 8K is €107 and the Wolverine €180 on Amazon.

3. Im in Belgium and can buy from Amazon and local retailers and from the official sites but Amazon has better prices.

4. Only for PC gaming. I don’t have an Xbox and use the PS5 dualsense controller when I very rarely play on PS5.

5. I’d like to have rumble/vibration which I understand the Wolverine doesn’t have and at least two back paddles to map L3 and R3 stick press to. I hate having to press the analog sticks. I have mixed feelings about a charging dock. On the one hand it’s convenient to always have it charged but I could save desk space without.

6. I never play FPS games with a controller so only controller friendly games like GTAV, RDR2, Elden Ring, FF7 remake, Resident Evil games and a bunch of metroidvanias or JRPGs.

7. I already have a Razer mouse and keyboard which I control with Synapse so the Wolverine wouldn’t require an extra piece of software hogging resources.

I need some advice so I can pull the trigger on one of these. Also, please let me know if it’s worth upgrading at all, would going from the 250hz 8bitdo Ultimate with hall effect to 8k or even 1k feel more responsive in these types of games? I don’t play competitively and don’t play any FPS with controller at all.

Thanks a bunch!

EDIT: Thank you everyone for your comments! Since I liked the V3 pro but would have liked to have haptics I decided to preorder the Wolverine V4 Pro directly from the Razer store. I’ll post how it is once I get it in about two weeks! :)

How do you have your controller configured in Windows?

I like the Windows 11 xinput controls so I keep “allow 3rd party apps to take over” off, but then I miss out on the extra buttons with steam input. Though with guide chords I’m able to get around that sort of.

Maybe I’ll eventually swap my config fully to steam being in control, but the native xinput navigation in windows feels so nice.

I use Playnite and with having my pc in another room I do a decent amount of windows navigating and messing around, which is the only reason I worry about the xinput.

This is for a custom Scuf reflex FPS pro with TMR sticks. I'm currently experiencing dead slides (character crouches instead of sliding, a common stick related issue) in COD Black ops 7. These stats are how they were when received the controller, it's basically brand new.

(I heard that some brands of TMR's may be better suited with a higher circularity percentage even in the 15% range. I have no idea which ones though. Anyone able to help me figure this out? I don't wanna change my circularity to 7-9% if these specific TMR's aren't meant for that range)

Does anyone know of a way to combine these two programs for one Pico 2w dongle?

Essentially, I want the one pico 2w dongle to be able to connect to a dualsense and a ds4.

I love the Charging Dock 2 Pro, but its lighting effects in Space Station never sat right with me. Slow animations visibly step, gradients go muddy in the middle, and the rainbow has these hard bands.

Out of curiosity I took a look at how Space Station builds its effects. Each one is a fixed 50-frame loop with colors mixed in plain sRGB, and the dock simply plays back whatever frames it receives. The LEDs themselves are great; they were just being fed rough frames.

So I made FlyGlow. It's a small Windows app that only does one thing: dock lighting.

What you can do with it:

- pick from 21 effects (aurora, fire, plasma, lava lamp, waves, comets, starfield...), all rendered with proper color blending and up to 200 frames per loop, so fades and gradients come out smooth

- stack effects as layers, set how they blend, and brush in which part of the dock each one covers

- paint your own animation LED by LED and let it fill in the frames between your keyframes

- throw a GIF or a short video at it and watch it play on the dock

It talks to the dock over USB directly, so you can leave Space Station open for your controller settings. There's an installer and a portable zip.

https://github.com/PsinaDev/FlyGlow

It's an unofficial hobby project, not affiliated with Flydigi. Uploading replaces the dock's current lighting, and picking any effect in Space Station puts the stock ones back. So far I've only tested it on my own dock (firmware 0.0.3.9), so reports from other units would help a lot.

8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless — Charging light turns off after a few seconds. Is this normal?

Hi everyone,

I recently bought an 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wireless Controller from Amazon India, and I have a question about its charging behaviour.

When I connect it to charge, the red charging indicator turns on for a few seconds and then turns off, even though the battery isn't fully charged.

I monitored the battery percentage, and it increased from around 77% to 85%, 91%, and 95% while charging. However, the red light still turns off after a few seconds.

I've tried a different USB-C cable and a standard power source, but the behaviour remains the same.

The controller seems to work fine while gaming. My main concern is whether the charging light turning off so quickly is normal or whether my controller might have a battery or charging issue.

Questions:

Does anyone else's Ultimate 2C Wireless behave this way while charging?

Does the red light normally turn off before the battery reaches 100%?

Should I be concerned or request a replacement?

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who owns this exact model. Thank you!
