The search is finally over. The perfect PC controller!
I've been looking for an ergonomically comfortable PC controller for years. Only the Sony DualShock 4 was comfortable enough to be my daily driver, but wasn't good for most PC games without DS4Windows.This controller supports Xinput (Xbox controller) natively right out of the box, so everything else just works! The grip is perfect, feels just like the DS4, the controller is hefty without freaking too heavy or low quality, the dpad is mechanical and feels AMAZING, as do the R/L buttons and programmable face buttons. Latency feels great when connected via the USB Dongle, she even better with a direct wired connection.The only caveat is that you MUST update the firmware on BOTH the controller (via a wired USB cable) AND the dongle using their software. And on top of that, you'll likely have to recalibrate the controller as well, which you can do without the software.Do a Google Search for "GameSir Connect" software, and choose to download it manually from their site. Do NOT use the Microsoft Store version; it will not work. The version you download should be (at the time of writing 1.4.1).Once you have the software, install it and connect your controller via USB. You should be able to go into the software and choose firmware update to get it to the most recent version. BUT YOU'RE NOT DONE YET! You need to update the dongle as well, or some of your buttons or analog sticks don't work when you try wirelessly. With the GameSir Connect app still open, plug in the USB dongle, then HOLD the button on the dongle itself; you should see messages appear about updating its firmware as well. For the most part, you should now be good to go.In some instances, you'll need to recalibrate the sticks too, if they're too sensitive or otherwise wacky. All you have to do is hold the Select/Windows button (middle left), the Start/Menu button (middle right), and Xbox/GameSir button (logo button between the sticks) to enter calibration mode. From there, once it starts blinking, hit RT fully 3 times, LT fully 3 times, then rotate each analog stick fully clockwise 3 times and counter-clockwise 3x, then press the A button (bottom face bottom) to complete the recalibration.

Worth the money
The controller is lowkey perfect. There is no playstation style controller with back buttons and this many features out on the market right now that costs less than 200$. I have used it for over 6 months and i cant use any other controller now. If you are worried about if you will like the controller, I can tell you after using it heavily for a while now i have only faced 1 issue. And that is that i had a little plastic piece in the controller break and it made one of my back buttons unusable. But this was quickly fixed after emailing support and got a replacment sent out within 24 hours. Other than that the build quality is nice and it is 1000hz polling rate and the software is easy to use and perfectly customizable. I only have used it wired so i cant talk on the bluetooth. I would heavily recommend buying this if you are debating it. 3+ years buying gamesir controllers and will continue to do so.

Manufacturing sucks
So let’s start from the beginning. I bought this controller looking to get a feel for what a lot of people have been talking about. When I got the controller I was amazed how comfortable and sleek the design of the controller was. But I soon ran into problems. I tried connecting to my phone via bluetooth, but it never would get recognized as a controller, so I thought “hey I might need to update this guy”. So I connected the controller to my pc and for some reason it would not update. I looked and saw you needed to have the dongle and controller connected at the same time, ok it was that easy, or so I thought. Then it says “dongle out of date” like what the heck does that mean? I go to reddit and find multiple posts of how these controllers software was really not on par as other controller brands. I look through about 20 reddit posts until I find one with an answer that works. I needed to go to the website and download software for this controller AND the dongle. I updated the dongle, it didn’t want to. I updated the controller, it didn’t want to. I finally found a another post that had specific updates for my exact controller. Finally I could use my controller!! Only to find out that the controller had massive stick drift on the left analog stick. This company’s control quality is wack. I also had problems with controls inverting, for no reason at all. Do not buy this controller and save your money.

A original controller price with pro controller functionality
Ive had the best expectations of this controller, and they are exactly what you expect.barely any input lag after updating the dongle, and the software gives you many options to customize your controller.
