Finally been sent.
I've had my Cyclone 2 for a couple of weeks and really like it. It feels great in the hand and is very responsive. I wasn't sure about the slightly clicky buttons to begin with, but find them much better than the Xbox pad ones, especially for the likes of SF6 and Tekken 8.
I've found the Gulikit KK3 Max more comfortable than the Cyclone 2 - albeit slightly heavier. It seems to sit in the hand more naturally and the palm areas have more girth...Can anyone recommend a controller (for use on windows 11 pc) suitable for someone with large hands please? Playstation size controllers hurt my hands as they are far too small and arthritis doesn't help either. I would prefer wired or a wireless one that can be used wired.
I also used the thumb caps they included, which makes the sticks slightly taller - have since ordered thumb caps for all my other controllers.Thanks for that, I will check out some reviews, 10% off on Amazon at the moment as well.
I ended up going for the Gamesir Cyclone 2 Pro after having a look at MRK's review and all the good feedback on here. I paid £34.79 from the UK Geeky place and the code still works. I thought that was a cracking price seeing as it comes with the charging stand as well. If I can't get on with it I will sell it on and try something else. I nearly went for the Tarantula but after getting a PS4 dual shock controller out of the cupboard remembered why I can't get on with it. For me the sticks are too close together and the top rear buttons (L1+R1?) just don't sit naturally in my fingers and I have to change my grip to reach them which makes the sticks awkward to use then. Damn having large hands!!

Cyclone 2 finally arrived.
Make sure you use the 2.4Ghz dongle and set the polling to 1000hz (in the Gamesir app). Press & hold Home + X (so it flashes green) to connect - took me a moment to realise this.Same here, will be setting it up with my downstairs lappy, time to get some aimchair gaming on my OLED HDR telly.
Latency with the 2.4Ghz dongle is very poor with the Cyclone 2 so if you care about performance then just use a cable. In my test with a 240fps camera the analog stick latency was 6 frames (25ms) with a cable and 10 frames (41.6ms) with the 2.4Ghz dongle. It's not the most accurate test as my monitor is only 144Hz but it gives you a general idea.Make sure you use the 2.4Ghz dongle and set the polling to 1000hz (in the Gamesir app).

I was connecting to Bluetooth (Home + B, flashing Blue) which doesn't have the same reach & speed as 2.4.
