Gamesir Cyclone 2 Review - Their Best Controller Yet

[@joshuasavoy7443]

Great review sir! Keep up the solid troller reviews!

[@e-dubbs]

Much appreciated!

[@averagejackmedia609]

I used to really only care for 4 back buttons.. then I realized 95% of the time I'm only using them for LS and B, so it doesn't matter. (for me) This controller is amazing btw.

[@piperxy]

Thanks for the detailed review. This thing has great value for sure. I've read somewhere that G7 Pro will have 4 back buttons, lot of people are excited about that one.

[@e-dubbs]

@@piperxy glad you liked it! I’m excited for the G7 pro but the leaked dpad looks strange to me. We’ll see what they come out with

[@piperxy]

​@@e-dubbs huge news about the dpad, judging by some leaked pics it clearly shows that the dpad will be interchangable.

[@thedoomslayer5863]

Is the G7 pro supposed to be their super premium "best controller"?

[@e-dubbs]

@@thedoomslayer5863 hopefully, they haven’t released much information yet

How does bro not have more subs⁉️

🙏🙏

[@dawiitz]

Please make a battery test and let us know how long it lasts, I've read mixed reviews, some say 9h, others about 2h or 4h, there's no popular consensus about the battery life of this controller so I'd like to know before buying it

[@e-dubbs]

@@dawiitz working on it, I’ll keep you posted

[@jaredchrzanowski186]

Will this work with Xbox via a Brook converter?! Love the look of this controller.

[@e-dubbs]

Honestly I’m not sure

[@dushansinx7149]

Hello I have a question. I play a lot of PUBG Mobile & ps2 Emulator and I was wondering what would be best suited for me the G8+ or Cyclone 2? as both is from the same company

[@e-dubbs]

Personally I would go for whichever form factor you prefer, everything else is secondary. In terms of the better performing controller it is likely the cyclone 2

[@dushansinx7149]

@@e-dubbs the thing that kept me wondering is why the G8+ is at 80$ compared to the 50$ cyclone 🤔 like is there some feature missing cause the better controller is cheaper ?? 😂

[@e-dubbs]

Yeah the price point is strange. I’d say the cyclone is a better bet overall but if you want the form factor of the G8+, shape is king

[@Mxodx191]

the best settings for these controllers is 0 deadzone on both sticks and just adjust your deadzone in game and make sure there not in raw mode.

[@thedoomslayer5863]

Removing the inner Dead zone makes it perform worse on those circularity tests tho

[@e-dubbs]

Unfortunately some games (like apex) don’t have proper deadzone settings

[@bigbean7273]

i keep it at i think 3% deadzone, so it doesnt move when i just barely touch it but it still super sensitive to as when i slightly move it then it moved

[@e-dubbs]

@@thedoomslayer5863 I think that’s fine. To me, circularity tests are less important than in game feel/accuracy

[@thedoomslayer5863]

@@e-dubbs Doesn't the circularity also have an impact on that?

[@b4g4b3l]

Any chance you can compare this with rainbow 2 pro ? they are the same price on aliexpress

[@e-dubbs]

@@b4g4b3l that’s a good idea. The short version is, if you only need 2 extra buttons go with the cyclone 2. If you need 4, go with the rainbow 2 se

[@b4g4b3l]

@e-dubbs there is no diference between rainbow 2 pro and rainbow se ? The 2 that i'm talking about are like 12$ more expensive then the rainbow se... i need something decent that i can map keyboard keys on it

[@e-dubbs]

I think just the charging dock and aesthetics. I’ve heard the se is slightly more accurate but I would double check

[@musek5048]

i might be wrong but I believe the rainbow 2 pro only has digital triggers and not analog? only really matters if you play racing games and such that need the analog controls but its something to consider.

[@b4g4b3l]

@@musek5048 thanks for the info

[@amanupadhya5769]

How long does battery last?

[@598gh]

Around 8hrs of play

[@amanupadhya5769]

@ with rgb lights on and 1000hz?

[@e-dubbs]

@@amanupadhya5769 I’ve heard mixed battery life results. Anywhere from 2-4 hours on the low end and up to 8

[@amanupadhya5769]

@@e-dubbs can you test it out, please 😄

[@e-dubbs]

for sure, I’ll keep you updated

4 back buttons is difficult to do correctly.
