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 have larger hands and have the Cyclone 2. Fantastic controller and my daily driver. I didn't like the clicky face buttons but they've grown on me. Happy to answer any questions. No real issues across Linux or Windows.

    YES I HAVE! You guys convinced me to become a Cyclone 2 enjoyer.

    • Have you ever had controller support issues in any games?
    • Does the GameSir software work on Linux?
    • If you've got the white version, then how easy does it get dirty in your case?

    I haven't had any issues with controller support in any games, just the same as using an Xbox controller.

    There is no native Linux software, so I use Winboat to run the software. You could also run it in a VM.

    I only have the black controller, so I can't comment on the white one
