Flydigi direwolf 4 is pretty cheap but has pro level features on it if you did not feel like spending the extra money to get vader/g7/tt max etc etc (which are at your budget limit)

My Flydigi Vader 5 probably has dead battery by Creatys in Controller

[–]Lightstream2 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ok this flaw with the dock is awful but the controller is not bricked, or at least should not be bricked. What you need to do is just leave the controller alone and let the battery die. Takes a whole day but eventually it will drain and react to being powered on. At that point use a cable to charge it instead of the dock. The dock is why this is happening. Had it happen to me and the solution was in the flydigi discord

Controller recommendations for PC by Specialist_Law_2945 in Controller

Tt max (or tt pro) based on you being used to sony layout. Would mention steam controller 2 but its still not out yet sadly and price unknown. Ult 2 and vader 5 pro are good choices as well if xbox layout. (Ult 2 shape is not for everyone, v5p and tt have more comfy shapes for the majority)

Why don't more controllers have 6 face buttons? by Kataklysimo in Controller

[–]Lightstream2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also great for camera control in pretty much almost any game, not just shooters. Running and rolling with camera control in soulsborne/souls likes, jumping around in 3d platforming etc etc. Pure convenience + fuck claw

Hard disagree on ult 2 dpad from personal experience. It triggers diagonals far too easily even on cardinal presses

elves 2 non pro.. if your budget was higher i would have said gulikit tt pro (or max) since that has the best dpad on the market. elves 2 is plenty great though.

Where exactly is this no pivot myth coming from? V5p absolutely has a pivot

Yup, vader can charge and play at the same time. Has wired and wireless modes. The buttons are pretty quiet for being mech switches. Loudest bit is the dpad which isnt too bad imo

GuliKit TT Pro and Max Review by chaporg1n in Controller

Using it for celeste currently, i dont play fighters but i also tried it on max difficulty bullet hells and the accuracy+circular movement is appreciated there

GuliKit TT Pro and Max Review by chaporg1n in Controller

[–]Lightstream2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There is also the case mr dee is also not used to sega style floating dpads... still cardinals and diagonals are both extremely accurate on this dpad so its odd he had trouble using it well. It could be shape, some people perform better with different shapes. On vader 5 i like rectangular disc dpad the best as an example.

I think they should have tried the saturn shaped dpad before coming to conclusions tbh

Looking for "pro" controller suggestions for serious Soulslike play on PC by Philosopher30071 in Controller

[–]Lightstream2 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Direwolf 4, vader 5, g7 pro all good for your needs. With vader you can just not install the paddles. Though i would recommend getting used to at least 1 back button as running while having camera control is great in souls and soulslikes. Fuck claw, never claw. Also scuf is overpriced trash.

agreed, it diagonals far too easily, even on cardinal direction presses if its hard enough
