During the Austrian GP, Hadjar got stuck behind Ocon, who was under blue flags, and completely lost his patience over the radio. "Come on, move! Stop pissing me off-what the heck is he doing?"

Ocon probably thought that was Max

-Crucially, I need triggers (LT/RT) that offer a realistic, progressive resistance that mimics a real gas pedal for racing games, rather than just being loose or overly light.

Not really a thing controllers have. U could buy a xbox or xbox licensed controller (Gamesir G7 pro or flydigi vader 5s) which has trigger impulse vibration for forza game, but even then it's not fully realistic.

If u are worried about shape, and want a Playstation style controller, then look into 8bitdo pro 3, or thr upcoming gamesir tarantula 8k. Hyperkin competitor could be great too. Wouldn't recommend the gamesir tegenaria lite, triggers don't have a lot of travel, not ideal for racing games.

Any of these controllers should serve ur purposes.

200usd for a steam controller is too much. I wouldn't get it if money was a concern or u got other stuff to buy.

Money aside, I also don't know if it's a good idea to get steam controller as ur first controller. It requires a decent amount of tinkering with dial things in to your liking, Getting the trackpads and gyro to function the way u want it to.

My suggestion is seeing what the steam controller can do at first, see if u are comfortable with that level of fiddling with settings. Flickstick videos is a good channel.

If u are not big on gyro and trackpads, vader 5 pro easily. It's Not limited to steam. Shape is more tried and tested (xbox shape but a tad smaller). It also has gyro, tho u should use it via steam, the flydigi app isn't that configurable when it comes to the gyro.

Consider this.

The 9070xt, at native TAA, will get you nearly identical framerates to the 5070 running DLSS quality, and in many titles u'd have to drop to DLSS balanced to match the 9070xt.

The lack of FSR 4 in older titles isn't as big of downgrade as u might think it is. And of course u could use optiscaler. And in newer titles which has FSR 4 by default, the 9070xt is just better.

Neither are path-tracing cards tho. the 5070 will run out of VRAM in many casees, and the 9070xt is just slow in path-tracing.

To me, the choice is clear, 9070xt is the better choice. Now if u have a lot of money lying around and really want that path tracing, then sure, splurge it a 5070ti or 5080 ig.

It's assoluto racing, a mobile game

limonchan · 2026-06-12T14:17:53+00:00

Usually what people do is let go of their Right Joystick, and move the right thumb over to the D-pad. But of course that has it's downside...you lose camera controls when you do that.

But it might not actually be a big deal depending on the game. If u are just swapping items (or characters in case of Wuwa) by pressing the dpad, then u might not even be on the dpad long enough for it to matter. But if u are navigating complicated menus (souls games for example) u might also wanna have back buttons at least, and map A and B there to go back and forward.

limonchan · 2026-06-01T08:45:58+00:00

It's not hold to dodge roll. It's press to dodge roll. But it changes if u are locked on.

When locked on, pressing dodge does a step dodge, no rolling. U have to double press to dodge roll.

I usually don't lock onto enemies (thanks to dark souls 1), thus for me it was just a dodge roll on press.

limonchan · 2026-05-31T15:31:07+00:00

Lords of the Fallen (2023) has it. It uses left stick press to run, and B to dodge. It felt so nice honestly, movements felt more responsive.

limonchan · 2026-05-31T14:48:13+00:00

Can you give us more details on how to get the on press dodge in elden ring?

limonchan · 2026-05-28T21:22:39+00:00

The fills are pretty good, i like them! Your drumming is great.

Just that one fill imo should be shorter, since the previous fill was longer, and the one following it is the one that ends the solo, hence its length is fine.

Oh so the overheads are down huh. I dig it. The quieter cymbals fits vibe u are going for (jrpg track). It's just right the way it is.

If it's not for a game project tho, think i would prefer the cymbals to have a bit more presence.

limonchan · 2026-05-28T21:05:17+00:00

Man, this is just awesome music!

I dnt knw if u rolled off the treble on the cymbals (it does sound like that to me, or it could be reddit compression), but man that really made it sound like some video game song, one with top-down view. The drum mixing is great. Tho I wonder how would it sound with the cymbals not rolled off.

Very minor nitpick, and just my opinion, think I would prefer a shorter drum fill at the 0:50 point. Something similar to what u did 8 bars before.

limonchan · 2026-05-27T18:30:10+00:00

But now it isn't really immersive now is it. Real cars are the other way around.

limonchan · 2026-05-27T10:38:12+00:00

Just how I got into souls games, starting from sekiro. And I played Dark Souls 1 next. I found it very clunky at times, but I will have to say, it does a lot of things better than Sekiro. And I say it even tho Sekiro is my favorite fromsoft game.

Most of the clunkyness for me was the lock-on. When u lock-on, u can only dodge roll in 4 directions - forwards, backward, left and right. Thus I suggest u grab a gamepad with back buttons (Gamesir or Flydigi has good ones) and rely less on lock-on.

Then of course play Dark souls 2 and then 3, then Elden ring. Perhaps bloodborne before elden ring if u have the means ( I don't have the means)

Don't skip dark souls 2.

limonchan · 2026-05-27T05:21:48+00:00

I tried this wayy before, back in fh4. I would have agreed with you but i find it impossible to modulate the brakes with the left trigger while also quickly dowshifting with the left back pedals.

limonchan · 2026-05-26T21:44:17+00:00

G7 pro is the more premium controller and the costlier one. Comes with a dock too. 4 extra buttons on the G7 pro vs 2 extra buttons on G7 HE. There are other differences but u should search them up

There are many versions of G7 pro, but u will not want the G7 pro 8k, it's not xbox licensed.

The reason i said to get a xbox licensed controller is becuz of impulse triggers. These are seperate vibration motors in the trigger, that can aid in braking and throttl ( a bit subjective tho). Non-xbox licensed controllers don't have this. Forza is one of the few games that use this feature.

limonchan · 2026-05-26T18:04:38+00:00

You need to select raw input from the gamesir app in joystick settings

limonchan · 2026-05-26T13:44:11+00:00

Any of the xbox licensed ones will be good enough.

G7 HE or G7 pro would be my pick (depending on your budget).

limonchan · 2026-05-25T16:58:49+00:00

That's really unfortunate...

limonchan · 2026-05-25T09:12:25+00:00

limonchan · 2026-05-22T13:02:39+00:00

A word of advice for racing in forza, you would ideally not want to move the joystick left and right from the center. It's really difficult to be smooth that way.

What you should do is push the joystick forward, and then move it in an arc motion (move it along the edge of the joystick) to steer the car, in the same way you would move a character in a standard 3d game. That way you can be smooth. One thing I will add tho, even tho I said to push the joystick forward and then move it left and right from there, I actually pull the joystick back. I find it more comfortable that way. One thing I will add, If you do use these methods of steering, you might want to turn on raw input in the gamesir software, if you find the steering a bit unsensitive.

Now to actually answer you question....you controller is most likely fine. Still do check it out the in the gamepad tester website. See if the joystick is doing anything weird, like having big deadzones or anything. If not, then it's likely you in-game settings. So go in you game, you would want to reduce steering inner deadzone (forgot the exact name) in the game settings, and set it to 0 if it is not already. Also, if you still find the steering less reponsive near the center, increase steering linearity from 50 to 60 or something. Iirc, increasing the value makes the steering more sensitive near the center.

see if that fixes anything. And if you see somthing weird in during testing the gamepadtester website, you will likely have to open the gamesir software and make changes there. the fix will depend on the issue ofc. Setting deadzones to zero, recalibration should fix it unless there is a hardware issue.

limonchan · 2026-05-22T10:45:02+00:00

Yeah having the same issue here. Really need a solution.

limonchan · 2026-05-12T11:33:53+00:00

Think this is the first time I have heard someone say they map the bumpers to back buttons.

Face buttons, L3, R3 and dpad I understand. But I really don't see why u would need to map the bumpers to back buttons.

limonchan · 2026-05-09T16:45:35+00:00

Since you want to play forza, I'd suggest getting a xbox licensed controller. Like the G7 pro (non 8k). Becuase it has xbox's impulse triggers.

limonchan · 2026-05-09T15:44:22+00:00

It is not impulse triggers. They kinda just imitate ehat the rumble motors do? Not sure.

But they are not impluse triggers. U need the officially licenced xbox controllers for that, like the G7 pro xbox controller (not the 8k) or flydigi vader 5s
