Very good controller
Finding symmetrical controllers for the PC is unfortunately quite difficult these days. Most have the asymmetrical XBox layout. Not so this one. I bought my first controller of this type at Interdiscount. This one went down during the warranty period. One of the trigger buttons no longer reacted properly, and on the second one the thumbstick started to drag because I often handled it roughly.
This is not the same model as the previous ones. The two older ones didn't have the word "YULA" in the name (which, by the way, is nowhere to be seen here, neither in the pictures nor in the descriptions). With this current device, it is now almost 1.5 years old and still works perfectly.
Of course, you can't expect a mega high-quality thing for around 30 francs. Accordingly, we don't have any additional, freely assignable keys or similar gimmicks here and you clearly have plastic in your hand. However, what you have is absolutely rock solid for the price and there is nothing to complain about. A clear buy recommendation if you are looking for a cheap PC controller with a symmetrical design. For a small surcharge, the part is also available as a wireless variant for those who don't like cables. For the price, however, you can't expect great battery performance!Pro
- Symmetrical structure
- Price-performance
Contra
- Symmetrical construction (for people who like their controllers asymmetrical)
I like it
I think it's good. I play all kinds of games with it (GTA, Just Cause, Witcher, Valheim, JRPGs) and am satisfied. Despite everything, a joypad remains "consumable" for me, so I directly ordered another one for stock.
Pro
- good shape
- hardness of the sticks fits me well
- cable long enough
Has lasted a long time, but now need to replace it
I have used this controller for many years(warranty has already expired). The controller has done a good job. Used it for various games, like Rocket League or Dark Souls.
For this price, I can not criticize much about the controller. Only the pressure point on the joysticks (clearly too hard) and the forked index finger keys have struck me negatively.
The handling is okay and playing with it for several hours is no problem.
The cable is admittedly really oversized with 3 meters. Thus, the range was never a problem.
I hardly ever had connection problems with the PC, so the controller is very reliable.
However, I now have to replace it because the left index finger button no longer works reliably. Often the input is no longer perceived. This effect is due to natural aging.
This controller is perfect for beginners who do not make mega high demands on a controller (eg Fortnite player ;=D)Pro
- Fair price
- Buttons on the front
- Easy connection with the PC
- Cable with warranty long enough
- Strong vibration motor
Contra
- Pressure point of the joysticks
- Accuracy of the joysticks
- Forked index finger keys
finnicky
I have bought two of them. Both developed drift and one lost a shoulder button. They were not abused.
Contra
- fragile
- drift
