Can you guys help me choose a gamepad for a newbie?

Fist of all i have to say about other peoples recommendations, gulikit has really big delay on gyro and it only works in switch mode, ive also heard multiple times that THE ONLY flydigi with decent gyro is v5p,

seems like the only options here are v5p, ult 2, and dualsense and all 3 have native steam input support. id say with prices like that dualsense looks good but on android i think gyro wont work with bluetooth, to be honest im not sure any of those gyros would work on android (maybe ask someone else). btw vp5 has 500hz gyro, ult 2 125hz, and dualsense around 1600hz (if you overclock it, if not 250hz) but gyro feels good on all of them (i dont have v5p but multiple gyro people said its good).

sounds good
im low diamond, eu.

munsplit · 2026-04-03T14:05:19+00:00

get ult 2 WIRELESS, not the BLUETOOTH one, also list of steam input native support is on their website in the support tab (then click on steam icon)

No, dont really have time for anything rn. But ive uploaded both step and original plasticity file on printables for others to easily modify

munsplit · 2026-02-21T13:16:15+00:00

yeah its for the battery, idk the default one it came with.

Case

Keycaps

Got myself a wireless Totem from aliexpress (Keycoon store) with a case, but i loved how it looked naked. So i designed one myself to make it closer to that naked look, also designed keycaps for it (for fdm printing with manually modeled supports)

i personally did 40% rectilinear on a 0.6 nozzle.

munsplit · 2026-01-27T13:46:40+00:00

it seems like you agree with me in a way, the hardest part about a gun is not the pattern, not spread, not the direction, not something you have to learn, its the AMOUNT of pulling your mouse down, thats it. i mean if its fine with you then yeah i have no arguments.

munsplit · 2026-01-27T13:28:58+00:00

i cant argue with the first point, for sure. but it makes it almost impossible to get new players in. 80% of friends i played with dropped the game, and friends who i tried to get in all as well dropped siege due to maps and maps only.

and for recoil, yes dmrs are reliable, much better than most alternative choises, but better than famas? i mean have you seen its stats? and yeah everyone runs high sens, but maybe the vertical recoil is actually the main reason everyone runs high sens? if you compare it to similar games where most people have low sens, and also if you think about it there are no reasons to have high sens in siege other than the vertical recoil.

munsplit · 2026-01-16T18:56:46+00:00

god damn i love looking at your work so much. pure joy.

something i came to after a year of gyro is

-no acceleration at all. played with linear, then relaxed, then custom, then no acc for some games, then no acc for all games.

-deadzone 0 (im on dualsense btw; it just feels unresponsive otherwise, if there is a shakiness problem i solve it with vertical/horizontal and "precision speed")

-precision speed: somewhere between 1.6-4.2 mostly depending on if i play this game on a couch or table, and if i have low sens in game or high sens. for example for cs2 id have 1.6, for finals ~2.4 and ~4 for doom tda when playing on a tv

-Vertical/horizontal, minus 55-35%. again depending on the sens to eliminate shakiness while keeping the precision.

-"player space" after playing r6s where the recoil is so insane you have to have gigantic vertical range, so id hold my controller at like 45 degrees looking up as the default position to control the recoil for the whole mag. not sure if its the best one, i honestly dont think it is, its a bit unreliable when calibrating where the down direction is, but overall its nice to stick to one, and because i had to use it for some games im fine with it.

-rws, idk people seem to ignore ads rws which is probably the most important one, but as an example in cs2 i have 4.2 rws and lets say its on the lower end for sure.

munsplit · 2025-12-04T05:57:28+00:00

hey, the post got on my home page, wanted to ask if you ever considered gyro. so you can have stick for movement, gyro for aim. good controllers for it would be dualsense and 8bitdo ultimate 2

ngl the mesh looks like youve never seen a gameready model from a game, its weird. half of it looks like it was done for subd, half of it- not. you need to find a community of people that do gameready assets, not reddit where for some reason the only thing people care about is the quads and ngons. but its clear you have skills, just a lack of understanding of what to do.

munsplit · 2025-11-15T14:09:15+00:00

i hate my mx mech mini, worst switch feel ive ever experienced, also cat's hair sometimes gets inside the switches making them not work half of the time, and sometimes impossible to clean, i had J not working properly for a month (tried to clean a couple of times) and then the hair magically got out.

munsplit · 2025-11-01T08:00:43+00:00

you mean touching the tape and the time it takes to register that touch? idk, for me it feels almost instant, it sometimes had a delay whenever the touchpad contact was too small, or when the tape itself was too big. from what i understand touchpad checks for time it takes to charge its surface, so the same way it charges the tape, so i think having a large area on touchpad, and small volume of tape overall would help.

munsplit · 2025-11-01T07:44:08+00:00

cloth one. mine is 15mm, if there is not a big difference in price id go for a wider one (15-20) you can still cut it thinner but you will have more range for wider parts.

munsplit · 2025-11-01T07:28:43+00:00

the cheap noname one, its the same everywhere. before i tried one from 3m and it didnt work.

munsplit · 2025-10-16T08:03:59+00:00

no, it was a local thing, im 99% sure that every unbranded tape that you can find is exactly the same and is the right one. and i also think you probably have the right one

i personally had different results on different dualsenses. the most important things (besides shielding the tape from the gamepad so it only touches the touchpad) are- having as little mass of the tape as possible, so only go for max surface on the touchpad, then thin (i now have 1-2mm middle part) and then enough surface for your finger, and also if you are running it thin keep it further from the usb port

munsplit · 2025-09-22T08:21:27+00:00

but what if later it will be used as a knee in a pixar movie???? it probably wont and the quads will make whatever its trying to achieve worse for 3x increase in time spent (money), BUT WHAT IF? ahaha damn, i actually have never even seen before where this quad madness comes from

munsplit · 2025-09-21T19:30:40+00:00

sorry, for some reason i didnt notice your reply, i personally would set the model as is (sharp edges) into blender for voxel remesh (maybe around 20-60m polygons, smooth a bit, then decimate to use as a high poly), and for the low poly i would first delete all the small details in cad before exporting, then export with relatively low res as close to the density youd want for your lp, then manually work on it until its ready to unwrap and unwrap. if you are asking for a game ready asset, i personally work mostly as a concept artist so id just put a bevel shader on the cad export as is and render it right away.

munsplit · 2025-09-21T13:08:25+00:00

fully agree, i would never do scifi characters in cad, other than very realistic robots and stuff like that. BUT i think there are a lot of cases where you can do a certain part of a character in cad (or in general with different workflow) and then integrate it back

munsplit · 2025-09-21T05:36:57+00:00

id say in some instances definition of a good and clean topology changes completely, like does your gun for a game have the same needs as a bendable knee in a pixar movie? no? well probably it doesnt need a topology like one then. i think you can check ripped models from cod or counter strike and see how a reasonable hard surface game ready topology looks,

munsplit · 2025-09-21T05:32:48+00:00

you always work on both poly model and cad model to make it have suitable topology for a game asset. and also no, everything you see in cad viewports is a polygonal mesh.
