Is this the Best $25 I ever spent?

[@AlexanderLindo]

I have this gamepad. This gamepad supports macOS and Windows via bluetooth. It has 2 modes of bluetooth connection: Switch and PC. macOS Ventura and above supports both modes. Windows 11 is said to support both modes as well, however if your Windows machine has bluetooth and you are unable to pair, try connecting the gamepad to your PC in PC mode (Home + Y). In this mode the P50 will be identified as an Xbox Wireless Controller. A welcomed feature of this controller is that when it is paired in "PC" mode the ABXY keys are still mapped correctly in Switch configuration: ie A is still A, B is still B etc. Rock on! 🤘🏼

Thanks for sharing. It's crazy how good it is for how cheap it is

[@thatdudecurt]

It's $18 on Amazon for those who don't have time to play around...

I'm glad you put the bad with the good, because i was about to get this, however like you, i do enjoy tetris (and the variants like PPT), and i understand how much of a pain and how much rage a miss drop will be. Edit: Actually i see the blue one (the color i want) has a more sharper (Traditional) style on the D pad, whereas the grey one has the more rounder one, so i may try this out afterall Edit edit: Never mind the blue is only compatible with the switch (i want one that works for PC). I might just get it anyway, i misdrop so much in tetris so i might not even tell the difference Edit edit edit: Okay apparently it works for PC as well (the blue one). Man if this was a twitter thread you'd come back with a giant train of edits XD

[@GearsAndTech]

I appreciate you coming back and sharing your thoughts I expect at least one more edit after you get the controller. Let us know if the sharper d pad solved the issues

[@Rayu25Demon]

dpad problem is called accident diagonal. you can fx it by adding square shape piece of tap in the middle of Dpad.

[@GearsAndTech]

Great tip

[@nemanjapejakovic3036]

To fix the analog issue, the youi need to update the firmware. Its actually an amazing controller.

[@GearsAndTech]

For sure. Thanks for the heads up. The price can't be beat

[@polar6826]

got the p50 hall, its amazing, also the sticks are fucking great for the price, very accurate and never get stick drift.

[@GearsAndTech]

Excellent call out. I'll check them out

[@polar6826]

@@GearsAndTech cost me around 33 bucks, circularity test shows about 7% error, its well centered, also they are not too sensitive, heard some people saying the sticks are too sensitive, but that could be only on the regular p50.

[@PetanoCZ]

Did you updated firmware on that controller or out of the box? It should be fixing issues like latency, sensitivity and BT connection to PC

[@GearsAndTech]

I have not updated it at all

[@5adfac320]

hey dude what is the mic that you are using on your videos? It sounds amazing :)

[@GearsAndTech]

Thanks for noticing. I did a review of a bunch of different mics, and showed the setup I'm using on this video kzbin.info/www/bejne/bKLEZWRmr89pnas

[@Controlled_YT]

are there any hall sense controllers that are ps5 compatible? im so tired of stick drift sony is so greedy.

[@GearsAndTech]

None that I have seen. I have seen guys swap it out for some

[@dannydeweerdt9221]

Is it possible to connect the controller wirelessly to your PC?

[@GearsAndTech]

Yes, with Bluetooth

[@ChumBoi]

Yeah you got to hold the home+Y button for 3 seconds if you're connecting for the 1st time (it identifies as an Xbox controller btw). If it ever goes to sleep just hold the home+Y button for a second or two to reconnect. Somehow this method also works on mobile.

[@titotrees437]

Does it work on ipad?

[@GearsAndTech]

I'm not sure. I would guess yes. But I didn't test it

[@axienxie]

Can you connect it to android device?

[@GearsAndTech]

Yes

[@Addicted2Battle]

whats the difference between the P50 and P50L

[@GearsAndTech]

From what I can tell the P50L doesnt have NFC and is a little cheaper
