Here is the story: I decided to buy a good and expensive controller for my PC for the first time, after 3 decades of using stock dualshocks and cheap knock-off brands. Googled “best controller for PC”, found a lot about elite series 2 controllers. Got excited about it (primarily the back-grip buttons and adjustable stick tightness), bought it.
After a month of playing Binding of Isaac I have decided to play some Doom Eternal to learn the hot new aiming technique - flick stick. Only to realize that this elite controller, that costs 130€ for the base kit, in current year, comes WITHOUT the gyro.
I honestly wish at least one of 5 reviews I watched and read mentioned this detail.
Is there any accessory I can acquire to get gyro, or would I have better luck returning the controller and buying something else?
Edit: I actually like everything else about the device, and not having the gyro is not exactly the deal breaker, but c’mon people
I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s a patent Microsoft just hasn’t been willing to license use of.
I remember when the Sixaxis came out. It was missing vibration. It was because Immersion sued Sony (and ultimately won) over patent infringement of rumble motors. Sony ended up having to pay somewhere around $100 million.
