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?

    It lasts like 6-8 hours

    mine does definitely more than 8 hours…maybe yours is defective?

    forgetting to charge the PS5 controller is way more annoying.

    In that regard the experience on Linux is better than on Windows: on Linux I can see the level of charge directly in the Bluetooth menu, and then I can plug it in after I finish using it

      I have four of them, purchased at different times and they’re all the same.

      You can look it up. 6-12 hours is the most commonly stated battery life depending on feature use.

      And I’m on Linux when I use it with my pc.
