Decent game controller?

Not gonna complain if it works the same as DSE :p I like the stick mode switch toggle at the bottom too, raw sensor mode vs rounded circle, very useful for certain game types.

Significantly cheaper as well if it works the same! Even now, over 3.5 years since the DSE came out, the price has barely moved from 190 outside of occasional sales.

Agree about different stick modes, I've fallen more and more into enjoying rounded circle for various games and having the option to swap is great.

I was really hoping we'd get a DSE v2 and them taking some really good learnings from what Gamesir, Leadjoy, Void etc. are all doing. Giving us JS13 stick modules by default, better rear grip that doesn't peel off, adding shoulder buttons like we see on the Genesis or the G7 or the Saber/Xeno, actual 'instant trigger' option with a click vs. the slightly odd 3 phase trigger lock on the current one.

I think the DSE has the best paddle placement (for me) and it's nice to be able to use a combination of the half dome and paddle to suit my grip - but I would rather use my G7 Pro 8k with a wingman P5 adapter on my PS5 now than use the DSE.

Is there such a thing as a big controller for people with big hands? Just to add something else, I have arthritis as well. The official Playstation/Xbox controllers are too small and I bought a Gamesir Cyclone which is basically unused because that is also too small. It's for pc use not consoles.

Did you ever use the original Xbox controller? The Duke? Hyperkin make current versions of that exact controller (and the slightly smaller revision they did) and both of those are significantly larger than anything from the current offering from Xbox or Sony. The Duke was a massive controller.

Side note - I've never heard anyone complain of the PS5 controller being too small, appreciate your arthritis will be impacting it but it's bigger than any of the previous ones Sony have released.
 
Ooooh

So I will have that dual sense controller and hopefully this steam controller to compare against my G7 Pro!
 
My reservation was months ago and it said estimated time I can order is 2027, so was surprised to get the email yesterday.
 
Yeah same awaiting shipping. the only question mark is how it fits in my hands as it is a bigger controller with wider spacing inwards for the sticks so thumb distance and comfort will matter.

Will see, at least I know the dualsense one will fit as it's a known size and still have the G7 Pro for now.
 
Hope mine arrives early next week, I'm away for a week after next weekend and want to get some game time in!

The one thing I don't like about GameSir is the home button ring LED, it cannot be turned off and when playing in the dark on an OLED, it's a distraction:
