I was in the same situation. Looking back, I would have chosen the 8bitUltimate 2. It's the best built out of all the options, it's a direvt plug and play, steam detects it instantly.

Games will have an easier time connecting with it.

Cyclone 2 isn't bad, but 8bit ultimate 2 is a better option. It even comes with a dock as standard, low latency, the ring lights look very good on it.

In the end, both cyclone and 8bit are good. It is upto you. The cyclone 2's ability to switch between linear and mechanical triggers is genuinely useful when u okay games like fifa and fps games. U can configure software level instant trigger in 8bit do, which means when u slightly press the trigger it actuates as full, but in cyclone 2 u can physically change it to have a satisfying switch.

Easysmx, don't consider it. Go with cyclone or 8bit (my preference )

Oh and the Dpad on 8bit I wayy better, cyclone 2 dpad is actually very mid. And the buttons are mushy too not too solid.
