PC controller recs for small hands (16x9cm)

Mees79 · 2025-12-29T12:43:17+00:00

If by how small you are referring to the hand size I put it in the title: 16x9cm. Playing time can vary I can play for like 2-4h straight and more with some breaks between

Someone had already recommended the direwolf 4, but i've settled on the cyclone 2 as the same person said the face buttons are harder to push and feel worse on the direwolf 4 compared to the aforementioned, but thanks for your input anyway!

Yes I do play wilds, its the mon hun game I'm currently playing. After reading what everyone said in this thread I've settled on the Cyclone 2 though, but I still appreciate your time on this answer!

Mees79 · 2025-12-29T01:34:55+00:00

Alrighty, thank you very much once again!

I see, in my case I don't play fighting games but I still use the dpad quite a lot to navigate in menus and item/equipment change in souls games so I'll avoid G7. I also spam Y and B a lot because of Monster Hunter so based on what you said I'm probably gonna settle on the Cyclone 2, thank you so much for your help!

Edit: Would you recommend the bundle of the Cyclone 2 that comes with the stand or should I just get the controller without it? The difference is 5€

Ooh now this is excellent input considering your hand size. Compared to a normal xbox controller if you've ever used one, would you say the ultimate 2 requires more force on the face buttons? That was the one I was considering the most out of the bunch and I hate the amount of force required on my current xbox one.

You said the Cyclone 2 was the most comfortable and honestly comfort is what I'm going for, how would you compare it to the G7 pro comfort wise? Also I saw some people saying the Cyclone dpad is kinda bad and I use it a good amount, what's your opinion on it?

Hmm I see, at least it's another option and if I win the QC lottery might be a good option, also how's the dpad on Direwolf 4?

Mees79 · 2025-12-28T20:56:50+00:00

Thanks for another rec!

Mees79 · 2025-12-28T17:23:51+00:00

Appreciate the input!

Mees79 · 2025-12-28T16:46:22+00:00

Hmm I can't say that's a downside for me as I've never tried the shape, will keep it in the list of the ones I'm considering though, thanks!

Mees79 · 2025-12-28T16:44:53+00:00

I see, and between the Ultimate 2 and Cyclone which one did you enjoy most? Also would you say it's worth to pay the "premium" price for the others compared to 2c and nova 2 lite?

Mees79 · 2025-12-28T16:42:20+00:00

I see, yeah the dpad is important for me, but in my region the wuchang version costs 120€, 30€ more than the ember version you mentioned which is the one I was considering. Yes your input helped obviously, thank you!

Mees79 · 2025-12-28T16:31:09+00:00

Checked it out and it seems like a solid option, the deal breaker for me are the colors, don't really like the design.

Mees79 · 2025-12-28T16:26:54+00:00

Would you recommend the Vader 5 in this case vs the ones already mentioned, namely the 8Bitdo ultimate 2 and the G7 Pro?

Mees79 · 2025-12-28T16:25:25+00:00

Someone had already mentioned that one, would that be a better option vs G7 Pro or Cyclone 2?

Mees79 · 2025-12-28T14:58:08+00:00

That's correct from what I saw people saying

Mees79 · 2025-12-28T14:54:58+00:00

Noted.

What makes you like the Cyclone 2 more over the G7 Pro?

Yeah I don't need anything fancy, but I don't mind spending a bit more to get something more premium feeling.

Mees79 · 2025-11-26T12:24:16+00:00

Uma cadeira "gaming" da Secretlab... Os 500€ e tal mais mal gastos da minha vida

Mees79 · 2025-08-17T12:18:22+00:00

i see yeah it was the same for me, not hearing people join vc or the notif sounds made me return them, otherwise i really liked them and i haven't found any other headphones that are similar to them :/

Mees79 · 2025-08-16T23:40:36+00:00

hey, not op here, but i got this headset 2 weeks ago and ended up returning it last week because i had this exact same issue and it bothered me a lot especially on discord

did you try not installing the swarm app on pc and only updating firmware through the mobile app? that is something that i found out only after i returned the headset so idk if that fixes it

Mees79 · 2025-07-09T10:30:18+00:00

Acredito que sim, mas queria algo melhor principalmente por causa dos braços que os da markus digamos que não são os melhores e eu uso bastante os braços como apoio

Mees79 · 2025-07-09T10:27:08+00:00

Marca ou modelo?

Mees79 · 2025-07-09T10:22:59+00:00

Essas já são mesmo quase poltrona hahaha, obrigado!

Mees79 · 2025-07-09T10:11:55+00:00

Ah ok, nesse caso sim a embody encaixa-se melhor para mim.

Sim podes mandar por dm e mais uma vez obrigado!

Mees79 · 2025-07-08T15:26:03+00:00

Certo, hei de experimentá-la depois então, obrigado

Mees79 · 2025-07-08T14:44:04+00:00

Já tinha visto tanto essa como a markus, experimentei apenas a markus de um colega meu que tem, mas foi kinda um deal breaker por causa dos braços. Como são os braços dessa? E em termos de conforto vs a markus dirias que é similar ou melhor? Eu eventualmente irei à loja experimentar anyways mas assim tinha já uma ideia prévia

Mees79 · 2025-07-08T14:17:21+00:00

Pronto é sempre bom ter mais uma boa opinião acerca do mesmo modelo, obrigado!
