Btw busy month finally for us controller enthusiasts, I guess

Initially I felt that force feedback wheel in the controller was going to be gimmicky af, but watching it in action, it actually seems very usable.

that's still cheaper than direct competitors with similar features.

8BitDo Ultimate 3E Controller for Xbox | 8BitDo

Discover the 8BitDo Ultimate 3E Controller for Xbox — a pro-level, fully customizable gamepad with swappable modules, TMR joysticks, wireless charging dock, and 1000Hz polling on PC. Officially licensed by Xbox.

www.8bitdo.com

the Razer Wolverine V3 Tournament Edition is 120€ usually and is wired only. the wireless Pro version is around 180€.

it being wireless, having multiple sticks, replaceable button switches, TMR sticks and coming with a charger, makes it pretty damn cheap comparatively.

it also is a fully featured PC controller, which many Xbox controllers are not.
1000hz polling rate and full motion control support on PC is a great value add imo.

before, if I wanted an 8bitdo for my Xbox and my PC, I'd need 2 separate controllers to have all the features on both systems.

It looks cool, and I'm especially curious how it will feel with the wider grip angle fixing my comfort issues with the Ultimate 2.

They haven't really announced if they're gonna have steam input support yet for it, because that could sway me to try it.

At some point, does the Polling rate being any higher even make a difference? I guess if you have superhuman reflexes it might

I mean it's like gaming mice/keyboards aka all marketing. It looks nice on a press release and on the website but won't make a difference for 99% of people because they aren't good enough for it to be noticeable or to make a difference.

Hmm, my return window for my current g7 pro is end of January, so I might even try this out if it provides enough benefit.

I just want to know if they're gonna do Steam Input, especially if this controller is PC only...so I'm assuming it might support macros or turbo since Xbox certification prevents those features.

Apparently they won't have a Stream this year and will be releasing content through X and YT/ shorts during CES. Apparently some change of plans last minute - from the comments under video.

So we yet may see Cyclone 3 or new Tarantulas.

To me 4k or 8k isn't really getting me but Durin mentioned features like Steam Input native support, Marcos, Turbo.

Also latency is really important to me.

Other than than anything past 1000Hz I don't see any improvement.

Probably costs less and the short-form content can reach a lot of people if they do it right.

I'd probably agree with you that 4k or 8k won't really feel different. 2K polling on the Rainbow 3 I could feel a slight benefit on the sticks, so I imagine it's diminishing returns after that. I will say that I felt the 1k polling on their gyro though...that was very smooth over any other I've tried. I think it's because the more fidgety a input like gyro or mouse, you can feel the polling rate vs an analog stick.

Just want one of these good controllers that fits my hands well to get Steam Input support. Even my new VKB Joysticks just kinda work with Linux using all their additional buttons.

Just popped over to /r/gamesir and people are saying the Cyclone 3 is delayed, which is unfortunate. I'm still interested.

Well… I made a weird discovery. RedMagic Cyber is literally an offbrand gamersir controller that looks like the cyclone 3. According to this YouTube video, it even works in the gamesir app. I still need to research it more. "What's going on here?" I don't know. China.

I mean... on PC that's not really that special.

you can set this up with any Steam Input supported controller in steam. or with DS4Windows with any Switch any PS4/5 controller.

would be more interesting on Xbox and PS5 tbh, but could be considered cheating there I guess...
