Cheers mate, I did try connecting the controller via a wire as well but it didnt connect to the app for some reason - does it need to be a specifc USB cable - like C to C?

I just use the same cable that I have for the stand, unplug the usb-c end, and plug into the controller itself. Should just connect, but when you boot the app, might need to hit a button on the connected controller for the app to pick it up, and let you go into the interface and update.

Their app was pretty finicky too about needing it to be the app you have selected, as just clicking over to my browser while it was updating the firmware, stopped the progress until I selected the app with my mouse cursor for it to have focus.

Nope, just wont do anything with the cable - doesnt recognise its connected and controller itself just flashes the xbox button then turns off.

Oh yeah, this thread! Got a quick review for ya!

Just bought the Gamesir Tengenaria Lite (called the T3 Lite on the back of the controller). Cheap $20 wired controller, but the sticks are damn near perfect! They're hall effect, seemingly anti-friction and the grit and knurling are perfect. I bought the thing for the D-Pad, which is also great, but the slick plastic makes it hard to use if your hands get sweaty, so you might need some tape.

Build quality... well it's fine for a $20 controller, so don't expect it to feel as good as a DS4 or Dualsense. It feels hollow and light and too slippery. You buy this for retro games and maybe if you fall in love with the sticks, some FPS games, but this is not a premium experience. Still fantastic for the price.

Weird, that sounds like something got screwed up then on your particular device then maybe. I have the Wuchang version of the G7 Pro, and checked that it's updated to the the latest firmware. Still works over wired.

Nyxi announced the first third party Joycons, the Nyxi Hyperion 3




their website has no specs listed yet tho.
given their previous controllers I expect at least Hall Effect Sticks, maybe TMR.

early bird price is 102€, normal price will be 145€, which seems a bit much tbh
