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 used ps5 controllers. Both developed stick drift within a year of light use. They’re beautiful and so nice to hold and use, but don’t waste your money.

    I recommend Gulikit TT Pro.

    Good ergonomics. Repairable (made by the company who got famous selling replacement Hall effect sticks for Nintendo switch controllers). Built like tanks with proper microswitches and Hall effect sticks. Inexpensive too, especially compared to the controllers that have similar features.

    Best of all, work out of the box on Linux.
