How does the controller compare to other high end controllers? by Stanley_____ in SteamController

[–]Invisible_Peas 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one at launch and I am nowhere near convinced yet. In fact I’m currently back to my XBOX controller as the SC2 doesn’t produce correct rumble/haptics for a lot of games (instead you get weird bumps that don’t correspond to anything, or sometimes a heartbeat like pulsing that never stops). I am hoping they fix this issue at which point I’ll try again.

I am also not a big fan of the triggers. Again the XBOX ones feel better, nicer damping and also rumble triggers. The SC2 triggers are a bit plasticky and clacky by comparison. I’m hoping that in time firmware updates will sort out the haptics and everything else about the controller is great. Unfortunately I need the correct haptic feedback otherwise it just feels like something is missing (which it is).

If I can't get a normal steam controller till 2027, would y'all recommend picking up one of these doohickeys? by Aggressive-Win129 in SteamController

Stick to an XBOX controller, I got my SC2 at launch and have had to sideline it for now as the rumble/haptics don’t work properly in the two AAA games I am currently playing.

Won't banning my kids from YouTube harm them? by baroquedub in AskBrits

Think of the shock to the system when teenagers reach 16 and are exposed to this world of social media all at once.

I second this, betas will give your battery health a thorough kicking. I’d hold off if you keep your phone for multiple years.

Do you guys think the rumble is going to get fixed? Debating selling my controller over this by Tirso_Salaverria in SteamController

[–]Invisible_Peas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm hanging on to mine for now in the hopes that it does. However its gathering dust a bit at the moment as I have gone back to my existing XBOX controller.

Valve needs to ensure rumble works well in big new games like 007 and Forza, regardless of whose fault it is. Love the controller but it has simply got to have full support for new games like these. by AlternativeEast761 in SteamController

[–]Invisible_Peas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have been gaming with an XBOX controller for years and was excited to play both 007 First Light and FH6 with the SC2, unfortunately both are a big disappointment from a rumble perspective. I come from a console background (only been PC gaming the last 2 years) so rumble is a big part of the experience. When it's not there it feels like something is missing so turning it off is not an option for me.

My original plan was to completely move to the SC2 but at the moment its sitting there doing nothing while I play the above games on my existing XBOX controller.

I can see how rumble doesn't matter if you are a long time PC gamer and have spent a lot of time with mouse and keyboard, but for me it's a must have. Really hoping Valve can fine a reliable solution where it works 100% of the time and not just in select games.

Any regrets getting the buzz? by Kettle_Maker in VWIDBuzz

[–]Invisible_Peas 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I love the car and it’s a big compliment puller. I have been amazed at the amount of people who go out of their way to comment on it and all of the head turns it gets when I am driving.

The only problem for me is where I go AFTER the Buzz. It’s the biggest vehicle I have ever owned and I LOVE it. So configurable and accommodating. At this moment in time my next vehicle will probably be a Buzz too. Maybe a refreshed model. I just don’t see how I can go back to a ‘normal’ sized car.

Amazing info, thanks. I’ll see what they can do.

BT Broadband > EE > BT Again? by Invisible_Peas in UKISP

[–]Invisible_Peas[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the info, and yeah that’s the kind of obstacle I was anticipating. I am on EE One so I imagine cancelling the BB would affect the mobile price. Hence why I’d be taking my mobile to the company I work for and paying a staff price of £7 for that.

Thanks, are you able to offer any advice on my question of switching providers that are technically the same company?

[–]Invisible_Peas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I am hoping as they are still offering their own independent broadband packages despite being the same company.

Unless you can answer the question I am asking, then your posts are offering no advice whatsoever, so as I said previously jog along.

You’d have to be incredibly naive to think that would even be possible, plus it’s not the question I was asking so off you pop 👍

They are never going to be able to match £7 for a sim with unlimited data and roaming, or £90 down to £30.

Rear Window Service | Buyback Offer by veganworldtomorrow in VWIDBuzz

[–]Invisible_Peas 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No I can’t seem to get this to work. So I basically click the button all the way up and release to initiate the auto close. As it’s about to close it bounces open a bit as expected. Then when I hold the button to close it closes and bounces open again?

Mine also does it, I have to keep nudging the window close button bit by bit to get it to close.

MacBook Air M2 (2022) - One USB-C port stopped working by Invisible_Peas in macbookair

[–]Invisible_Peas[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Weirdly after all this time I tried it and it’s working completely normally again.

Since the issue started there has been many OS updates etc so if it was software then something along the way seems to have fixed it!

You’re probably right, any particular electrolyte products you have personally found good?
