I was waiting for your review. Brother you are making banger reviews. My go to channel easily. Keep up the excellent work!!!

[@richardx8202]

Thank you so much for this I've already ordered and it's on its way, but it's still nice to know I made a good purchase

[@kakarot_edit5307]

[@ericknavarro9006]

I was going to buy it, I wanted to use it with Bluetooth connection in PC (X mode), until I saw your video, you helped me a lot. I'll give a chance to the Vader 4 Pro.

[@Qimchiy]

Hey VK. I have a suggestion for future controller reviews. Especially ones without hall effect triggers. Check the range, linearity and deadzone of the analog triggers. Some really cheap gamepads have huge non adjustable deadzones.

[@cyborg7898]

This controller is amazing. The only downsides for me are that you can't use your own rechargeable batteries, or easily replace the rechargeable battery, like the 8BitDo Pro 2. And it doesn't read amiibos, but that shouldn't be a big deal. Most switch owners should have a controller that can read amiibos laying around. (I'd likely mostly be using it on PC anyway.) I would probably be ordering it soon, but I already have a few relatively new and nice gamepads that are working well.

[@bigbean7273]

oh my goodness i love the teardown so much, i just got it and i already wanna do a teardown for fun or to mod like adding foam/taping loose cables down but this is nice to see, love the vid keep up the amazing work 🔥 edit: side question, im super new to the controller scene and this is my first controller, i was wondering just like the pc world are there any mods i could do to a controller like dampening or lubing? or just any recommended universal controller mods?

[@VKsChannel]

Depending on the model you can lube the switches and if your sticks don't have anti friction rings you can do a tape mod check the community posts I just made a post about it

[@dushansinx7149]

​@@VKsChannelHello I have a question. I play a lot of PUBG & 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

[@eniway629]

Haven't found a review for this thing yet talking about battery life. A big oversight in my opinion.

[@VKsChannel]

Since I review so many controllers I can't keep using a single one so its hard to give a good opinion on battery life

[@bigninja6472]

9h on gamer heaven review 😥

[@pedrof7670]

Just got it, for me 2 back buttons is enough for COD. The controller feels very good.

[@dawiitz]

How is the battery life????

[@598gh]

This seems like the perfect upgrade for me, since I wanted a wireless controller that has a DPAD with a pivot and TMR sticks. I wanted to like the Vader DPAD, but it keeps missing my inputs in fighting games a lot and I hate the shape it's not comfortable for me at all, a far cry from my favorite DPAD so far, which is in the G7 SE. The only thing I would've liked to have in the Cyclone 2 is HD Rumble, that's it. Thanks for the review, as always :)

[@riffska]

Just after I got an Ult 2C?? shoulda waited for this one smh but I guess now I know what to get in the future. Always happy to have a fairly priced controller replacement.

[@gS-kt2ff]

Extremely useful, extremely detailed. Thanks a lot. QUESTION: How stiff are the back buttons? Can they be accidentally pressed?

[@VKsChannel]

Not very stiff not very sensitive either I'd say they have the perfect resistance, but you can have accidental press if you grip it too hard

[@Dan01-01]

How does the build quality feel overall? Will you be extensively playing with it and update us on its durability?

[@VKsChannel]

Its hard to review long term durability because i test many controllers and I'm always changing between them

[@ilbro7874]

​@@VKsChannelbut so you know how the g7 se the plastic is easy to "bend"? Does it feel the same here?

[@rinosurber7919]

Absolutely of your opinion. I've been using the Ciclone 2 for about 3 weeks. Really very good implementation. I highly recommend the controller. Even the frequency of the Turbo is displayed by the symbol light. In addition, the functions of mapped back buttons are separate from the reference buttons. So really cool. I like the controller very much, as well as the EasySMX X20. Or the Bigbigwon Blitz2, which drops a bit because of the input lag at high turbo frequencies. And I've tried a few in the meantime (more than 25 flag ship controllers). I'll get the PXN 5 soon, I'm curious what I can or can't do with it.

[@blackstar-genX]

What you say for the battery life

[@rinosurber7919]

​@@blackstar-genXGood question. I use the controllers in wired mode in my setting. so I can't say much about the battery life. In terms of battery capacity, it is probably in mid range. But that's also a question of your own preferences

[@isaiaguilarcardenas2332]

you'r the best man.

[@Azztaczoken]

this and vader 4 pro, which is best

[@ZimpanX]

If priced the same the Vader 4 wins for having more buttons, that can be bound to keyboard actions and having on the fly adjustable stick tension. However, normally the Cyclone 2 comes in at half the price ( especially if you want a charging dock for the Vader) and with that in mind, the Cyclone 2 comes dangerously close to the Vader 4 for such a big price difference.

[@dilmurodavalbaev1392]

Great video! What are your thoughts on the longevity of those rubber pads between the face buttons and the mechanical modules? I am tired of membranes failing on me, but all mechanical controllers also use some sort of rubber padding, which I think defeats the purpose of having mechanical buttons. Also where can I buy spare parts for Gamesir controlllers?

[@VKsChannel]

This rubber exists only to make the buttons more "springy" If the rubber fails you can add other kind of material under the button and it will still work The only difference is that the travel distance will be shorter See the bigbigwon blitz 1 review

[@Jupiter-35]

What makes this better than the tarantula in you opinion

[@121580klm]

How's the dpad for fighting games? Think it works well for rolling inputs? Is it stiff or very fluid?

[@BEARM4N]

why gamesir removed trigger vibration in cyclone 2? :( great video btw

[@maybebutwhatever]

They'll need a Microsoft license to use it properly. Or hack it via Bluetooth like flydigi which is probably will "upset" Microsoft :)

[@BEARM4N]

@maybebutwhatever cyclone pro has trigger vibration

[@peterluptovics3417]

2 day's i ordered, i hop it is good :D

[@Emieru-wx5cb]

Just wanted to tell you that I loved the video but the only gripe that I have, is that the triggers go from being normal hall effect triggers to a micro trigger wich is not the same as a digital one

[@VKsChannel]

when I said digital I was refering to their operation which is just ON/OFF, instead of analog that have multiple degrees the digital you are refering to is a membrane button, similar to the switch pro controller

[@richardlee5412]

if anyone owned a g7 se and recently purchased one of these, I'd love to hear your direct comparison! Please share!

[@ZATlVA]

If this Controller had 4 paddles, I'd buy it 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@ilbro7874]

Me too, just wait for the g7 pro or g7 ultimate whichever one. Ill swap from my vader 4 pro for that probably

[@zinx190]

What’s the battery life like?

[@maris4137]

Please review Mobapad N1 HD.

[@taguemavincent9771]

hi sir, Thanks for your review, i rly like the way you do it, it's consistant every time so easier to compare products. what would be your top 3 controller for 50-100$ ? I've been using a DualShock 4 on PC for years, but it died a few months ago. I recently got a Switch and a Tab S9 Ultra and need a controller that's compatible with PC, Switch, and Android. I also want a dock that can house a 2.4GHz dongle. I was considering the 8BitDo Ultimate 2.4 (with updated Bluetooth and Hall Effect), but there seems to be a trigger issue over time. so now i'm looking for alternatives.

[@Minato-chan]

Looks like an evolved version of the T4 Kaleid

[@adityapathak2046]

9:20 In T4 Cyclone Pro it Shows up as Xbox Wireless Controller Which is very useful as it will be Ready to use for Call of Duty : Mobile and Other Games that Support Xbox Wireless Controller

[@乾淨核能]

oh yeah!

[@blackstar-genX]

How long is the battery life?

[@pixelman2626]

Can it be use on PS5?

[@szekken]

So V4Pro or Cyclone 2?

[@VKsChannel]

V4P

[@shfd3832]

Why Vader 4 pro? ​@@VKsChannel

[@vovazagach1781]

Hi, what about the centering spring, is it the same, or they replace it with more reliable one?

[@VKsChannel]

you mean the spring on the sticks? or the one on the dpad? I don't have the cyclone 1 to compare so I don't know about the dpad, but compared to the tarantula pro it has the same stick modules which should have the same spring

[@vovazagach1781]

@VKsChannel Yes the stick's spring. For example Gamesir G7 SE or Flydigi Vader 3 Pro is using the same Ksilver modules. I'm asking because a lot of people (me included) had a stick drift issue caused by faulty spring in those modules. That's why I'm asking - did they replace it or not?

[@VKsChannel]

@@vovazagach1781 It's a different module from the vader 3 or the g7 SE but if you had that problem go with the vader 4 pro because it has a totally different re-centering mechanism

[@vovazagach1781]

@@VKsChannel I have Vader 4 Pro for about 1,5 month, fantastic controller, but i have a feeling that it's too expensive for what it gives to you, so i was thinking to replace it with this one, but the centering spring issue still bothers me.

[@Terraaz]

anyone know how to get the lighting effects to save to input mode? for some reason when I use my computer to change them the home button color switches back to red in input but the rest stays purple

[@Liquid_Snake]

Can lights be turned off?

[@Ashes2Ashes]

Yes they can. All lights can be color adjusted or turned off completely.

[@GothikaGeist]

Hey VK have you cone across any recent controllers with octagonal gates on the left stick, like the Gamecube controller? I know the Victrix BFG Pro has gates but their software doesn't support macros. Any suggestions ?

[@VKsChannel]

The mobapad m6 hd Its a switch controller but they have a dongle that allows you to connect the 2 sides and use it as a single controller

[@GothikaGeist]

​​@@VKsChannel So I watched your video on the Mobapad M6. You correctly assumed I'm gonna use it as a primary controller on PC. Have you tried it for long sessions? I'm a BigBigWon Rainbow 2 Pro enjoyer and that controller is just barely too small for me Repeated long sessions usually make my hands cramp with that one. I know Switch controllers tend to be snaller. How much smaller is this than a Rainbow 2 Pro or Rainbow Pro SE? Second, have you tried the triggers for shooters or games like Helldivers 2 on PC? Worried that clicky/digital triggers might not be for me. Sorry for bombarding you with all these questions 😅.

[@nexustri1146]

Is this good for using on Android?

[@dushansinx7149]

Hello I have a question. I play a lot of PUBG & 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

[@VKsChannel]

The g8 + is better suited for mobile gaming but the dpad is kinda bad The cyclone is much better in terms of dpad

[@dushansinx7149]

@VKsChannel Why is the g8+ 30$ more expensive than the cyclone 🌀🤔? I'll use it on my phone. I don't care about D-dap I never use that actually.

[@ZimpanX]

So the controller will work seamlessly in Dual Shock mode on an actual PS3/PS4? Because I would love a modern controller for those that uses USB C connection for charging

[@VKsChannel]

Like the tarantula pro it wont work on ps3 or ps4 it is only compatible with playstation remote play app

[@marcusjackson9644]

It Will Work if You Use a Brooke Adapter For Playstation Consoles. ANY & ALL Controllers Will With it

[@ZimpanX]

@@VKsChannel Thanks for the answer, was hoping the remote play app restriction only applied for the PS5

Does the Cyclone 2 support G-Touch mapping mode on Android to play a game like Genshin?

[@VKsChannel]

No thats only for the g8 galileo

[@miecz8316]

now i kinda regret getting vader 4 pro

[@VKsChannel]

I still think the vader 4 pro is better because of the resistance adjustment

[@LAN-w-]

[@vanhne26]

Easysmx x20 next plsss

[@Rayu25Demon]

the diagonal is not too sensitive and that's a good thing. but mechanical Dpads are not good for me. i dont want to see membrane dpads disappear for all new controllers.

[@stevensv4864]

ive this aand g7 se. this is better than kaleid, diagonal are good but g7 se is better

[@williamtael8379]

Asymmetric layouts is the stupidest thing on controllers. You can't press the D-Pad and move the L-Stick at the same time if necessary, but on a symmetrical layout you can. So why the hell is the assymetric layout even a thing? And no, it makes no difference in terms of comfort, since that would mean that the D-Pad would become uncomfortable (which does not).

[@VKsChannel]

In controllers with 4 back buttons you can map the dpad to the back buttons instead of doing a weird claw grip

[@williamtael8379]

​@@VKsChannel Yeah, my Vader 3 pro does that by default. But it's a solution for a problem that has no reason to exist. By the way, I've noticed on Gamepad LA that the Dualsense 5 has one of the best input lag results... Is it worth it? Here on Brazil the price of the DS5 is on par with the best controllers from China (which will cost more at checkout because of the "taxes of love". I really like the volcanic red, silver and midnight black versions.

[@ChiliRaider]

STILL WAITING ON MINE.

[@sergiobrbr]

Eu tenho um t4 kaleid há 2 anos e uma coisa que me irrita nele é que os botoes abxy não são firmes, eles ficam arranhando na carcaça e dão uma sensação ruim de aperto. O cyclone 2 tem esse problema?

Yea, as a PC gamer that likes to map everything thats a no for me. But if the Steam Controller 2 is what I hope it will be, there will be no need for me to get another controller, can't wait for it's release. It may look silly to people who don't own a Steam Deck, but if it feels as same or even better than a Steam Deck it will be a success!
