GameSir Cyclone 2 Wireless Controller - 1000Hz Polling Rate, TMR Joysticks, Hall/Micro 2-in-1 Triggers for PC/Switch/Android/iOS, PC Gaming Controller with Charging Dock(Black)Carbonfree Certified

I picked this up to replace my ancient DS4 and I'm genuinely impressed. The build quality is fantastic – it feels robust and well-made in hand. There's no cheap plastic creaking, and the weight is just right.The responsiveness of the hall effect sticks is phenomenal. They're incredibly smooth and precise, making aiming in shooters or navigating complex menus a breeze. The click actions of the buttons are also satisfyingly crisp and tactile. I've noticed zero input lag, which is crucial for competitive gaming.The GameSir software is passable and gets the job done for basic remapping and calibration. However, I do feel it could benefit from more in-depth customization options. Things like more granular stick curve adjustments and advanced macro settings would be a welcome addition.Despite the slightly limited software, the core performance of the Cyclone 2 is outstanding. For the price, you're getting a controller that rivals much more expensive models in terms of build quality and responsiveness. If you're looking for a reliable, high-performing controller without breaking the bank, this is definitely worth the money. Highly recommended!

The GameSir Cyclone 2 is an excellent multi-platform controller with a solid build quality and a wealth of customization options. It offers configurable profiles for both button mappings and LED colours, though it's worth noting that these settings are independent—you can't link an LED colour profile to a specific button profile. However, customization is straightforward using either the built-in controls or the GameSir software, which is available on the Microsoft Store and makes configuration a breeze.On my PC, the controller works flawlessly via the 2.4GHz dongle, providing a stable and responsive connection. I also use it via Bluetooth on my Android tablet, where it functions as a PS4 controller and is recognized natively by COD Mobile. Switching between devices is easy using simple button combinations (Mem + B for PS4 Bluetooth, Mem + X for Xbox via the dongle), making it incredibly versatile. While I’ve occasionally had to re-pair the tablet when switching back to Bluetooth, it generally connects without issue.One of the standout features is button remapping, allowing you to program the rear buttons and create multiple profiles tailored to different games. The included desktop stand is also a great touch—besides providing a convenient place to store the controller, it houses the dongle, making for a clean, single USB-C connection for both charging and wireless PC gaming.While the Cyclone 2 is packed with features, I found it slightly less comfortable compared to other controllers I’ve used (PS4, PS5 Edge, 8BitDo Ultimate 2C). The L2 (LT) and R2 (RT) trigger corners feel a bit sharp, which can cause discomfort during extended play sessions if your fingers aren’t positioned just right. That said, after some adjustment, I got used to it.Despite minor ergonomic concerns, the GameSir Cyclone 2 is a fantastic value-for-money controller. Its multi-platform compatibility, robust customisation options, and useful accessories make it an ideal choice for gamers who switch between devices but want to maintain a consistent button mapping experience. Highly recommended!

After doing quite a bit of research, I decided to buy this as a replacement for my Xbox controller which had developed stick drift and I couldn't be happier.The controller itself feels very nice in the hands and the buttons have a nice feel when pressed. I was reluctant to buy third party, however everything about this controller feels better. It also has many features you just don't get with first party controllers.One of the main selling points of this controller are the TMR joysticks, I couldn't bring myself to buy another Xbox controller knowing that it will develop stick drift in the near future.This controller also comes with a charging stand and looks great when sitting on your desk.Please note: This controller is not compatible with Xbox consoles. It works with PC/Mac, iPhone/Android and Nintendo Switch.

Absolutely fantastic controller once set up correctly to work on pc.Doesn't work wirelessly with Xbox but does work with Nintendo and PlayStation wirelessly but must be set to the correct profile following instructions.The RGB although I disabled it is very nicely diffused.Inputs are precise and the TMR sticks feel great compared to the latest Xbox controller.The extra functions on the triggers are a great feature and the adjustable rumble is a nice touch too.All in all I genuinely would give this controller a 5* BUT there is one negative.That is in the white, even though I'm fresh out of the shower with clean hands my left thumb stick when in use seems to keep getting dirty with the oils from my hand leaving a dirty look affect and find myself constantly cleaning them.So buy black if this sets off your OCD like me.

Excellent controller, which compares favourably with the Xbox Elite 2 controller that I'm used to. While the Elite is heavier (which I like), all other features are better on this controller. Really smooth, precise sticks (no drift - looking at you Microsoft), satisfying buttons, better charging, easy setup, RGB (which I don't use, but it's a feature) all make it rank higher than the best of the first-party controllers.Oh, and did I mention that you can get two of these for the price of an Elite 2? Microsoft need to up their game to compete with this.I'm only giving it four stars as the first one I received was faulty (swiftly replaced by Amazon).
