You can just overclock the polling rate with hidusbf, you need to set it to 8000 to get a polling rate of 1000Hz. It has an average analog stick latency of around 2.5ms and a button latency of 2.3ms when using it wired with an overclocked polling rate, so it should easily match the G7 Pro in performance for competitive games.just for the PC you're not going to get G7 Pro levels of performance. Obviously best suited to consoles.
Where did you read that it voids the warranty? It's not changing any settings on the controller, it's just telling the USB port on your computer to check for updates more frequently, it's up to the controller whether it responds or not. For example you can set the polling rate of an Xbox controller to 1000Hz and it won't respond because it's limited to updating 125 times per second. I used to find wired a bit of a faff until I found a nice flexible cable, and realistically most people wouldn't want to use wireless in competitive games anyway.Voids the warranty though and you need to install it as a driver and some such having had a look at it before when I explored using a dual sense in Last of Us for the adaptive triggers. I don't think the faff of having a cable attached, no PC geared remapping options and missing haptics if not using Steam input (which then means no adaptive triggers) is worth the effort vs just using the Gamesirs.
Hexgaming has said it will look to improve support for PC platforms though so hopefully they release a version that is more PC friendly, given they market it for PC as well. Ironically Bluetooth is polling at 500Hz whereas wired is 250Hz, but controller connections via BT on PC are anything but reliable.
I don't see anything on their warranty page about the warranty being void if you change the polling rate of a USB port on your computer. However if that is the case then just don't mention it because it's not like they'll be able to check the polling rate of the last device it was connected to. It's surely game dependent on whether you'd want to use a controller for competitive games, for example I believe most pro COD players prefer a controller with aim assist over keyboard and mouse.Hexgaming said so, on a controller that offers lifetime warranty, being denied warranty in future if they find out it was OCd might be a concern when spending £250 on a controller. Anyway I'm playing on PC games, nobody on PC games playing competitive is going to be using a controller, if they are those numbers must be tiny. I prefer the comfort and freedom of a high performance wireless controller instead on the few games that feel nicer with a controller.
Yeah COD and Apex are just better on controller at this point. The Apex pro scene supports both inputs but all the pros are now using controllers.I don't see anything on their warranty page about the warranty being void if you change the polling rate of a USB port on your computer.

Gamesir Cyclone 2 with docking stand.Any recommendations for a wireless gamepad for use with steam for about £50? I’m currently using a Nintendo switch pro controller which is pretty good, but I’m sure there’s something better out there.
Is the 8bitdo any good? Think it's the new 2 version forgot the model
You should try KontrolFreeks if you want more granular movements, I use the CQCX on the left stick and Vortex on the right. The PlayStation version fits the Gamesir Cyclone 2 as well.Also, the 250Hz and low resolution points don't seem to matter in actual games, very responsive and very precise, I do note that the sticks on dual sense travel a longer distance than any third party controller on PC, and this is what makes them feel more precise I think because you can be more granular with movements, whereas the other controllers are either very linear, or if you apply a custom curve with GameSirs, then tweakable to your liking.
Definitely worth changing the polling rate with hidusbf if you're using it wired, it will feel more responsive and accurate in FPS games.I'm also using it wired as realised I had a very lightweight cable that is perfect for the job from a previous gaming mouse, so just connect it to my monitor's USB port when needed and it basically feels wireless as there's no clunky cable snagging on anything.
