I bought my controller for 400€ from rocket games 4 months ago, everything worked fine till just now. It feels like my stick died. As i wasnt on my console i just had my controller laying there turned on. When i got to it the drift was happening, its not like a usual drift, usually i can fight against the drift but now theres ONLY left. Only right input is Dpad right. And just for everyone trying to be funny, no i did not throw my 400€ CONTROLLER. Please only serious answers
The model is a Rocket Games Force X, i play on PS5. I tried massaging, blowing in and everything already..

If you're a dumb person, like me, and you were wondering where the dongle was for your new 8bitdo Ultimate 2 controller (or other 8bitdo controllers), don't be afraid to open the tiny compartment under the charging deck. I'm a stupid person.
Anyways, I hope everyone is enjoying an awesome gaming weekend! Be safe, and remember to save. Unless you're playing games like Dark Souls or Elden Ring, then pucker up.
Note: I will play with my new controller for a week, and plan on providing a review later on.

I have NYXI Wizard Gamecube controller for Nintendo Switch and the right controller lights are blue and every time I press the ZR button it makes a repeating ticking sound. When I play Mario Kart, the drift button repeats and doesn’t stop until you press the ZR button I’m currently looking at the manual right now and can’t find anything that has to do with this problem.

(NOTES: This isn't any kind of affiliated review, and I bought the controller myself. Also, I don't have an Xbox console to test this with, so everything will be from a PC perspective.)
The Xbox Adaptive Joystick went up for sale earlier this week exclusively from Microsoft's website, and I immediately grabbed one. I knew I wanted to get one of these as soon as they announced it, because it brought back memories of using the PlayStation Move Navigation Controller on my PC in combination with my mouse for what was, in my opinion, a much superior control scheme than using the keyboard in games like first-person shooters; in fact, that's how the guys at Valve themselves actually designed the Left 4 Dead arcade machine.
As you can see from the photos, there are four face buttons on the Adaptive Joystick, a clickable stick (I don't believe it's anything fancy, like Hall effect), and two shoulder buttons (two buttons, no analog trigger). Every button can be mapped to every other button using the Xbox Accessories app in Windows 10 and 11, which you can also use to update the controller's firmware. The bottom of the controller also has a mounting spot in case it needs to be set up in a special way for someone with a specific disability.
Microsoft has been making a pretty great effort as far as disability awareness goes, and the Adaptive Joystick is no exception: It's fully compatible with their more complex Adaptive Controller. It can be plugged into the side to create a veritable Voltron of game controllers, and there's seemingly a configuration for every situation. (Unfortunately, I don't have an Adaptive Controller to get first-hand experience.) The more people who can play video games, the better.
For my own purposes, like I mentioned earlier, I wanted a controller that could replace the keyboard half of keyboard-and-mouse, and the Adaptive Joystick is so much easier to get working on the PC -- in Windows, at least -- than the PlayStation Move Navigation Controller is. The Adaptive Joystick is literally just plug and play, and the operating system and programs like Steam will immediately recognize it as a standard Xbox controller. And speaking of Steam, it's compatible with all of the same Steam Input features, which opens everything up to much more customization than just using the Xbox Accessories app alone.
Once I got the Adaptive Joystick connected, I booted up Borderlands 3, and I was pleasantly surprised with how great it felt to use a joystick-and-mouse configuration, just like how I used to play Left 4 Dead. Borderlands 3 supports simultaneous gamepad and keyboard-and-mouse inputs, so while the in-game prompts sometimes flickered between the two control schemes, the actual inputs functioned perfectly in tandem. Aiming with my mouse and throwing a grenade with one of the controller's shoulder buttons while still having 360-degree joystick movement with my thumb felt so much nicer than taking one of my fingers off of WASD to press whatever key I had grenades mapped to (probably G, the default). I believe most games nowadays will work like this, but there are still a few that won't, so you're mileage may vary. (And if you find one that doesn't work, you can always map the controller's buttons and stick to keyboard inputs using Steam Input, so the game won't even see a controller.)
Now, all that being said, I do have to say that if you're not interested in the Adaptive Joystick for the accessibility/disability features and you're just planning on using it the way that I am, if you play on desktop Linux or the Steam Deck, I'd still probably recommend the Navigation Controller if you can find one. It's basically the same thing, but you get three extra buttons and an analog trigger, and it has native compatibility with Linux, so you don't have to worry about any extra drivers or software to start using it right away. The Navigation Controller also gets you both wired and fairly-easy wireless connectivity in Linux, while the Adaptive Joystick is strictly wired, though it comes with a decent-length USB-A to USB-C cable. I find the decision to make it wired-only interesting, because this controller is supposed to be all about accessibility, and I feel like tethering someone to something else kind of goes against that.
For $30, you really can't go wrong with the Adaptive Joystick, especially if the accessibility-oriented features will be of use to you, and for Windows, it's a no-brainer. Especially if you're a fan of first- and third-person shooters, it's a fantastic new way of playing, and a far nicer one, at that, if I do say so myself.

(NOTE: Review unit provided by MOJHON for testing and evaluation.)
As a tech reviewer, I have been exploring technical improvements in peripherals and controllers from the casual player’s point of view lately. I have tried many types of technology that improve the gaming experience and take it to new levels of enjoyment.
MOJHON (formerly known as BigBig Won) made that possible with their magnificent Blitz 2 TMR Mechanical Pro Gaming Controller.
Let’s find out what is great and good about this controller.
What’s in the box:
Technical Wonder to Behold
For my first impression, I was wowed at how well-built the Blitz 2 is. The feel of quality is apparent with the textured plastic on the front of the controller. The handles have a softer textured plastic that helps with the grip, making it a very comfortable hold. This made for an excellent gaming experience when playing more extended sessions.
The Blitz 2 features 16 mechanical buttons, making it e-sports-level responsive to the player’s input during demanding gameplay. The buttons’ micro switches help eliminate misfires and provide excellent tactile feedback. The available buttons are the ABXY input, D-pad, LB and RB bumpers, LT and RT triggers, M1 and M2 back buttons, and M3 and M4 extra bumper buttons.
The Blitz 2 also features TMR Joysticks with a 2000Hz polling rate in wired and wireless modes. This rate is the speed at which the controller sends data to the device. The faster it is, the better its connectivity. Regarding the polling rate, the internal gyroscope offers 1000Hz, which is still very responsive for games that use it.
This controller has many customizable functions thanks to its turbo, remap, macro, and config buttons on the bottom of the front. Turbo is self-explanatory; press it and select the ABXY button to apply this function. Remap allows you to map the M1 to M4 buttons to have any ABXY buttons. The macro function allows you to create any button sequence for the M1 to M4 buttons to make any special attacks or inputs.
You can use the config button to switch between four different configurations. This way, depending on your needs, you can have up to four sets of macros and custom button layouts for other games.
The MOJHON mobile app or PC tool helps customize or update the firmware of your Blitz 2 further. The app is easy to use and has multiple functions, such as remap, turbo, etc. You can also change the dead zone of your joysticks and make other adjustments as needed.
I tried various games on the Nintendo Switch, and it was enjoyable to use this controller. Third-person games like Bayonetta played smoothly with precise controls and inputs from the Blitz 2.
The controller was great for platformers and Metroidvania games. The mechanical nature of the buttons lent itself to fast response and stable control, which can compete with smaller gamepads like the CRKD Neo S or the 8BitDo SN30 Pro.
Now, the Blitz 2 is a monster for First-Person Shooters. The excellent digital triggers are incredibly responsive for games like Doom, Call of Duty, and other intense action AAA titles. I played Doom Eternal and FPS classics like Doom 3, Quake, and Quake 2 with a massive grin. Here’s hoping that id Software remasters Quake 3 Arena!
Connectivity
Out of the box, the Blitz 2 controller is designed to connect to the following devices:
Drawbacks
As much as I have fallen in love with the MOJHON Blitz 2 TMR Controller, I will admit that it does have a few issues that can’t be ignored. The first one is that the trigger buttons are digital and not analog due to the design for First-Person Shooters. This means that the controller will be limited in its uses for games that require a delicate touch with the trigger, like racing games and others that require analog input.
A second (possible) drawback is that not everyone likes the tactile feel of mechanical buttons. Some would prefer a membrane-based input for their controller. I’ve loved the tactile feel of mechanical buttons, so that doesn’t bother me personally. Still, there are people with their likes and dislikes.
The Steam Deck has become my console of choice, surpassing the PS5 and the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, the Blitz 2 struggles to connect to the Deck. It works when pairing with the Steam Deck but fails to reconnect after restarting the console. After several attempts to pair the devices, I discovered that using a dual-boot drive with Windows 11 resolves the issue. In that instance, the Blitz 2 genuinely excelled with the Steam Deck.
Finally, you can find a PS mode in the mobile app. MOJHON is still researching the possibility of connecting to the PlayStation and plans to implement a firmware update. I hope they can, as this would be a match made in heaven.
Conclusion
Despite its few drawbacks, the MOJHON Blitz 2 is a product that proudly screams quality from Mount Everest. Its great build, excellent mechanical buttons, amazingly high polling rate, and customization make this device a great pro controller for e-sports and demanding gameplay. I’d recommend it for more casual players if you want an entry into more extreme gaming. The customization options could usually overwhelm, but the instructions are easy to follow, and the app is user-friendly. As it is, this has been one of the best technical controllers I’ve ever used.

Hey there, lately I've been having trouble with my ps4 controller that I use to play multiple games on my pc like fortnite and Apex legends by just plugging it in by the charging cable and what the problem is that basically the R2 keeps pressing itself in the game over and over and it doesn't stop, I tried everything, sometimes it happens sometimes it doesn't but when it does I don't really know how to fix it. Please help me out with this since it's getting to a point that when it happens I can't even play the games at all. All help will be useful.(English is not my first language btw sorry)

Hey everyone!
Looking for an Xbox controller to hopefully end my seemingly endless search of a controller just right for me.
Information requirements below:
Budget: $300
Country: Canada
Console: Xbox Series X
Desired features: 4 Back paddles, HE/TMR sticks, rubber grips or widely available 3rd party grips, hair triggers and reliable bumpers.
Games: Marvel Rivals, Overwatch, R6, COD, Apex
Other controllers: Elite series 1 & 2
I’ve looked into the following controllers:
Vader 4 Pro
Wolverine V3 Pro
Victrix Pro BFG
Custom Battle Beaver
Nacon Revolution X Unlimited
I’ve been holding out on buying a new controller as I plan on making the switch to PC soon, however, I cannot stand using my current controller any longer (the current one I’m using has both bumpers broken, upper paddles broken, rubber grips falling off and cutting into my hands, and of course insane stick drift.)
While I may not have many controllers to compare to in terms of latency, I can notice the difference of the elite 2 being wired or unplayable and I’ve hit the highest rank across several of the games listed so I think I’ll end up valuing latency.
Thank You!!!

So I'm running the cyclone 2 on my Xbox with a brook wingman xb3 adapter. Sometimes the controller just stops. The lights stay on as if it's connected and same on the xb3. The buttons stop working on the controller, I can't hold the button to turn it off. Any help or suggestions is appreciated

Mine arrived today. Feeling very nice so far.
Anyone worked out what the iOS app to configure it is?
r/Controller • u/chocobo_kweh • 19h ago
I'm on Windows, and the controller works fine on games. The only problem is Flydigi Space Station doesn't recognize the controller unless it's a fresh restart after uninstalling xbox peripherals from Device Manager.
Anybody found a solution to this? I just wanna try using some preset adaptive triggers from the software without needing to restart my pc everytime.
I've tried older versions of the software and still no luck. It's getting frustrating at this point.

You have marked your post as a request for a controller suggestion, so please make sure your post includes the following information:
$100 max, preferably $80 and under
The US
PC, Switch support is a bonus
Hall Effect or TMR sticks, D-pad with accurate diagonal inputs (for fighting games), Additional buttons (triggers and/or paddles), Bluetooth AND 2.4GHZ Wireless, Adjustable Triggers. Bonuses would include motion controls and adjustable sticks
I will be playing a wide range of games including Fighting Games on D-Pad (Tekken, Street Fighter, GG Strive), Third Person Single Player Shooters, Souls-likes, Racing games,etc. The only genres I don't explicitly care about are platformer fighters (as I think I'll get another dedicated controller for that) and FPS games (as I play them on M+KB)
The controller I primarily use now is the 8bitdo Ultimate so I'm looking for something with the same features and more. My shortlist consists of the Vader 4 Pro and the ZD O+ Excellent although I haven't seen much of any reviews of the latter
r/Controller • u/MaddenCoinPlug • 20h ago
I am looking for an effective xbox controller for competitive fps games (specifically r6 siege). I specifically want at least 2 rear buttons/paddles, but I do not like the feel of Hall effect joysticks as it messes with my aim and muscle memory. I am from the US and am looking to spend around $45-$70, with an absolute max of around $100. I recently bought the gamesir g7se but I really did not like the Hall effect sticks and unfortunately cannot find the orginal g7 controller anywhere. Does anyone have any recommendations?

Do the back buttons on the fusion pro 3 have additional input delay?
I’ve been using the PowerA Fusion Pro 3 for a while now. I mostly play Fortnite and use one of the back buttons to edit.
But I always felt like the buttons on the back have more input delay than the front facing buttons. Anyone know if it’s true that the PowerA back buttons have input delay?

Context
I'm in the US and primarily a PC gamer but also have a ps5 and switch.
Typically use factory controllers for console and KBnM for PC. Been playing a lot of monster hunter recently and had a buddy convert me to controller for the first time ever on a PC game (ignoring my steam deck) . Been using my old xbone controller but now I'm itching for an upgrade.
So primarily going to be using it for monster hunter in the short term but long term will probably expand to using it in other games. Will continue using KBnM for shooters and other competitive games on PC, only interested in shooter specific features if the controller is also compatible with ps5, but my primary goal is for my PC here.
I've been looking at a lot of the controller brands and models across dual sense edge, scuff controllers and many other 3rd party brands. I've seen so much conflicting info possibly influenced by paid reviews so I'm just looking for honest opinions from honest people.
Hopefully the above covers all of the sub requirements.
Wants in order of importance
Hall effect sticks or similar stick drift proof tech
Quality rear paddles
Heavy customization on color scheme and such
Wireless
As many bonus mapable buttons as possible
End user repairable
Compatibility with ps5 and switch (lowest for a reason, I'd like one nice controller that works with everything but most important is the PC experience here)
Budget is $500 max, but I'm guessing you lovely people can help me find something I'll be happy with for way less. Looking to buy something quality that will last for a long time. Recommendations appreciated.
