      “Well, we needed a gimmick and polling rate was on discount”

      🤣

      You can just swap it for a different one if you want to, no?

    Good deal but … 8,000 Hz on an analog joystick?

      Genuinely pointless when the game only processes inputs once between frames, I don’t know of any actual game that would take advantage of more than 400hz polling

      The bigger the hertz, the bigger the dick. It’s just a fact.

      Isn’t that like 100x faster than your motor cortex can transmit a signal to your finger instructing it to move?

    I’d bet that no one would be able to tell if this thing was just polling at 800hz. What a stupid gimmick.

      You could tell if your screen was 8000 hertz though!

    Cool. Don’t see the appeal, but of people want it, then good that is getting a PC version

    Ive had two of their controllers and both were the worst controllers I’ve ever owned. The first one brole within a week and the second constantly disconnects. Not to mention the back buttons on it broke within 4 months of use. These were the higher end models as well not cheap shit.

    I was shocked when I found out how good my GameSir Super Nova is. Hands down the best controller I’ve ever used, with a fantastic docking station that can just be combined with a dongle. And it costs less than a regular Xbox/PlayStation/Nintendo controller.
