I want to replace my old GameSir G3s with a controller preferably under €70-75. Initially I wanted an european gamepad but the only 2 options (ready2gaming and snakebyte) was so non existent or questionable that I had to swallow my EU nationalism.
Gaming style:
- Only use controllers where it's highly recommended
- Preferred genre for controllers would be arcade racing and JRPGs mostly
- Will only play on wireless (2.4ghz)
Preferences:
- Either TMR or high quality HE sticks
- Doesn't look boring (preferably it has some amounts of LED / RGB)
- Xbox stick position layout (I want to try it out)
- Linux compatibility (don't care about consöles)
- Doesn't have a shit QC (8bitdo's are apparently like that)
- I have larger hands, so maybe not a small controller
Currently these are some controllers that seems to be in my range. I'm interested if you know about even better controllers.
- GameSir Cyclone 2
- GameSir Supernova
- FlyDigi Direwolf 4?
It's a common frequency used by wireless controllers. Anytime a gamepad is using 2.4ghz, its most of the time a proprietary connection and often better than Bluetooth. I also prefer 2.4ghz and don't want to mess around with Bluetooth anymore.
I see. It's a weird way to describe that, though, because Bluetooth is on 2.4 GHz, while non-Bluetooth controllers aren't required to be on 2.4 GHz.
I would have understood if they just said they want to avoid Bluetooth.
It might be weird if you are not used to this. It's a common way to distinguish the propietary dongles from Bluetooth. Even all controllers itself that support both modes, has the setting labelled as
Bluetooth <> 2.4gtoggle, and marketing and data specs always use this notion too. No Bluetooth device of any kind will connect to 2.4g type of devices, if they do not support Bluetooth.So it's not that weird from the person who said it, because that is industry standard way of distinguishing it. I give you that, that the industry should have adopted a distinct name for this kind of connection. But you can't fault him saying that this way, in my opinion off course.
