Decent game controller?

Yeah, that's a good shout. Seeing the prices that some people are selling them for on eBay is wild, I'll probably just put it on the MM then at the price I bought it.

Time to order the Scuf Omega for an insane price to see how that is... Although with a long delivery window I think I'll try the G7 Pro 8k again and change the thumb sticks to PS5 ones.

When you gonna accept the limiting factor is you rather than the controllers :p
 
Just ordered the GameSir Tarantula 8K, should be shipping this month. As much as I tried to get used to the G7 Pro 8K the Xbox thumbstick layout really doesn't work for me so looking forward to trying the Tarantula out.

Has anyone seen much about the Marius Board controllers? I saw that both Aim and BattleBeaver now offer them - but both are insanely expensive (250+) with really long lead times. BattleBeaver is 6-8 weeks...!
 
Played with a friends razer wolverine last week and still thinking about the clicky facebuttons.

I can't justify the price of a wireless one though. Anyone know of any other wireless PC controllers with 'mechanical switches' type feel on the face buttons?

Looks good really good. A shame about the paddle/back buttons not adopting the same style as the G7 Pro 8k but overall it looks fantastic, I love that DS4 shape a lot.

Got mine preordered so hopefully it arrives this month. Also picked up a Marius Board PS4 controller DIY kit that's arrived this morning so once I've built that with an old PS4 controller it'll be good/interesting to compare the two.

Price wise it's no competition at all, 179 quid for the DIY Marius Board vs. just 70 quid for the Tarantula 8k.
 
I'm still rocking the msi gc30 since it came out and the battery life is great. to be fair i only use in once or twice a month but still holding up well :)
 
I've had a PS4 marius board for the last week and I can honestly say this thing is insanely nice and snappy to use. Everything I do is immediate, every stick direction, every input. Really enjoying it!

It's quite hard to explain how nice it feels, I guess my comparison would be going from 144hz to 240hz for a monitor. The difference isn't immediately noticeable but when you go back to that lower 144hz it suddenly really highlights how much nicer and more immediate 240hz was.

Would only recommend it for competitive FPS players, it has no rumble, no battery, doesnt work on console, no bluetooth, no touchpad tracking and no audio jack (that's a lotta no's!). I bought a DIY kit for it and it wasn't too much effort to solder it all together with an existing PS4 controller I had.

I have ordered a Tarantula 8k which should arrive in the next week or two so it'll be a nice comparison. Especially when the Tarantula was 79 quid vs. the DIY kit for the Marius Board costing me 150ish (and then needing a PS4 controller already).
