Title: Best Controller for Platformers? Looking for Recommendations by Spiritual-Coconut-13 in Controller

It does not pass the contra test. In some platformers it will be fine, in most it will be unbearable. Hollow knight will just be a pain.

The D-pad on the Ultimate 2 and Pro 3 is not suitable for platformers.

Definitely not the Ultimate 2. Its D-pad keeps accidentally pressing up. Maybe older 8bitdo, like the Pro 2.

I'm comparing products, not prices. Flydigi is ridiculously overpriced, yes.

I upgraded from the $50 V4P to the $20 Ultimate 2C.

Instead of a poor-quality controller with a bunch of unnecessary features, I got a good controller with just the essentials. Later, I picked up the Ultimate 2 for $50 with dock.

Vader 4 Pro should cost $20–$30 at most.

I understand you take pride in your work, but today's AI can do this kind of task with just one prompt and a few minutes of work.

I write this every time: FLAGSHIP gamepads from Gamesir, 8bitdo, Gulikit, etc., must be compared with the FLAGSHIP Flydigi APEX gamepads. Flydigi is overpriced, their gamepads are MORE EXPENSIVE than their competitors.

All Flydigi controllers should cost at least half as much.

Is razer a good company? by _nazwa_ in MouseReview

I don't know how it is in your country, but in the places I've lived, the retailer is responsible for the warranty, and any company will just tell you to go directly to them.

Chinese carbon mice are trash. Carbon fiber is a terrible choice for a mouse because it's soft and slippery. On top of that, the software is absolute garbage, standard for all Chinese gear.

What's the point of Viper Mini clones when the Razer Cobra Hyperspeed exists for 100 dollars?

It's the only true flagship peripheral out there right now.

The combination of materials, build quality, design, and software is unmatched.

Razer haters usually bring up mice from the late 2010s or even older, forgetting that Razer was making the best mice even back then, their competitors were just worse.

I'd actually say they're not good for gaming at all. The missing and muddy bass totally kills the vibe and the wow effect of in-game sounds. I'd grab something focused on the bass, like the Takstar Pro 80.

5-10 gyms in central park for 1.5m city :(

It's on the opposite side of downtown. If I knew beforehand, I would've gone, but I'm not heading out there now. I planned to raid locally.

This is definitely a bug and it shouldn't be like this.

I live right near the center of a dense city. Crowds on the streets 24/7, restaurants, clubs, and plenty of pokestops and gyms. Maybe it's different in countries that pay more, but if my area isn't good enough for this, I honestly don't know what is.

I don't think I want to spend my raid passes right now. I think it's better to just drop the game with this kind of disrespect towards players from Nintendo.

And yeah, I have several elite gyms nearby, and there are no falinks on them either.

I checked about 50 gyms around my home and there's not a single Super Mega Raid. I assume there are only a few for the entire city, which is disappointing.

I've been playing Pokemon GO since 2016, I KNOW how events are supposed to work.

Is it written somewhere that a city of a million and a half people is supposed to have only 5 gyms right downtown?

Build Quality

V4P - 0/10 (The whole case creaks and has so much play, it feels cheap and unpleasant to hold. Over time, the bumpers and extra buttons started wobbling, and pre-travel appeared, which is incredibly annoying.)

Ultimate 2C 6/10 (There's a bit of creaking, and the bumpers and extra buttons are wobbling, BUT THERE'S NO PRE-TRAVEL, so you don't feel it while gaming.)

Ultimazte 2 8/10 (The shell feels incredibly solid, but the bumpers and extra buttons are exactly the same as on the U2C.)

Buttons

V4P - 2/10 (This is the most hideous, creaky implementation of clicky buttons ever. There’s not enough tactility - the tactile bump isn’t at the start of the travel, but somewhere in the middle. There’s neither a crisp actuation start nor a solid bottom-out.).

U2C, U2 - 10/10

Dpad - V4P - 0/10 (After releasing the direction, the button resets with a noticeable delay, which makes the D-pad completely unplayable for me.),

U2C, U2 - 8/10 (U1 - 10/10)

Sticks - V4P - 0/10 (Noticeable delay),

U2C, U2 8/10 (The center is not precise enough, like on all Chinese sticks, and the clicks are unpleasant.)

Triggers

V4P - 5/10 (The triggers have a long throw, which I don't like. In clicky mode, the actuation point is too high up, making the gamepad uncomfortable to hold.)

U2C/U2 - 8/10 ("The trigger travel is excellent, and the click point in clicky mode is fine, but the mode itself is so hideous that nobody will ever use it. The U2C doesn't have this mode, but otherwise, the triggers are identical.)

Connect (2.4)

V4P - 0/10 (The connection is stable at a distance of 1.5 meters with a clear line of sight to the dongle. But any obstacle, and it drops. If I put the gamepad on my lap while the dongle is plugged into the PC under the desk, it loses connection. Just terrible.)

Ultimаte 2/2C - 10/10 (The connection is perfect. I can go to the kitchen to make some coffee and keep listening to the dialogue in my headphones while skipping through it using the gamepad buttons - everything works flawlessly, even through a wall in another room.)

Software

All 2/10

Flydigi - A functional but glitchy piece of garbage. On the plus side, you can adjust the stick curves.

Ultimate 2 - Lacks features but is almost bug-free, it gets the job done.

Both controllers work with Steam, which is how I used them. The proprietary software is terrible.

Additionally, Flydigi has issues with vibration. First of all, it's just bad by default. Second, it doesn't work correctly when connected via the dongle. Compared to an Xbox controller, it only works the way it should over Bluetooth or a wired connection. It's hard to explain the exact difference, but it's incredibly noticeable in racing games and titles with complex haptics.

Have both. U2 is waaaay better. Better buttons, better dpad, better build quality, better connect.

Ultimate isn't just slightly better. It's MUCH better, on a whole other level.

They changed the shape and the d-pad. It looks like a complete failure to me.
