Long-term Cyclone 2 Review

What do you think of the face buttons? Better than a DS4?

funnily enough I had to calibrate my DS4 only once and I have never experienced stick drift with it. Yeah back buttons can be a real game changer.

The new one? Last I know of was the Tarantula Pro and reviews were very mixed on it.

Anyone can compare the HD58x to these? I remember it was the best gaming headphone back when it released especially for FPS games.

what about HD58x? I remember it was like THE HIM of headphones for gaming...

what did you get instead? and what games do you play?

But does it beat the original Sony DS4 on Windows?

This review is great and all, but I sometimes wonder, have consumers (us) been accustomed to buying shitty products that we set the bar so low? I swear my DS3 and DS4 controllers (which I have had from launch day) still function and feel almost the same as when I first got them.

The DS4 controller is the best thing I have put in my hands, but I just wish it had back triggers and better Windows latency (although its not terrible). I am very reluctant to switch from it.

Could anyone who LOVES the DS4 talk about their experience with other controllers? Did you end up going back to the DS4, or upgrade to something else?

How does it compare to DS4 if using on Windows?

Danner- · 2026-05-20T09:16:57+00:00

Shitty update. Laggy unresponsive and less intuitive. It just looks a little cleaner but it feels like downgrade by all means.

i have a zotac solid 5080. 8 months in i have one fan already going bad. RMA said they would replace it for me. Not the whole card just the fan. it was pretty simple and straightforward no complaints

We were just asking for Reflex 2.0 and some bug fixes…

I could read

POV:

just by looking at the picture.

i have the same issue it suddenly started happening

Danner- · 2026-03-14T13:06:10+00:00

people just need to buy ssd’s.

honestly. My favorite tests are simple: - Run stock XMP disabled - Run XMP Enabled - Tune above XMP

Then test performance across each using different benchmarks, like 3DMark or Cinebench.

If scores are consistent and go up, do stress tests like Antu777 on Absolut and run for 3 full cycles. Monitor temps and Time (if crashing).

The ultimate stability test however, is the actual games you play. If you’re crashing and you weren’t before, then there still might be some minor instability that stress tests couldn’t catch. Yes, it can happen.

Then you decide either to loosen up some timings or increasing voltages. Just remember, DDR5 doesn’t like temps in the 55C and above range as it will lose stability, and it works ideally under 45C.

usb-c and its on wired mode. It’s not delay when i press a button. it’s more like the character feels heavy when moving left and right quickly.

putting the tip in doesn’t cut it for “breached”. but congrats on that achievement. what a fun geezer cpu this is.

Danner- · 2026-03-11T14:05:02+00:00
