I've used Xbox 360 controllers for a very long time. I've been having issues with interference with aftermarket controllers, and fighting stick drift. I felt like was ready to try something new. I har learned about hall effect controllers researching stick drift on my controllers so I knew my new controller had to have them. Wireles was also a requirement, I don't need 10ft of cable laying across the room. I also wanted to stick with the Xbox general kind of design, the PS style just feelts too small in my hands. Research and review lead me to the Gamesir T4 Cyclone Pro.
I purchased one of these and was impressed out of the box on the build quality. I however, was a little unimpressed with the overall accuracy. Gamepad testor showed both sticks had ~1.8% error ratio. Now, that is actually pretty good.. but for a Pro top of the line controller as advertised I wanted better. I also had a bit of an issue with connectivity with that controller for some reason. I ordered a replacement, and it is improved. It has ~0.9% error ratio. That's pretty dang good. I tested the latency with the 2.4ghz reciever and was getting ~6ms lag input on average. That's a bit high, but I'm not a pro gamer. Unfortunately you cannot overclock this either. I don't notice in my gameplay, but I know it's there.
After ~200hrs on the sticks now my k/d ratio is improved pretty much across the board. I love the feel of the textured triggers and grips. It's light weight, and just a great controller. The 2 complaints about the actual controller I have, and honestly it's not trivial is how bright the LED is on the remote. It's blinding when playing in a darker room. I will probably end up taping some paper over it. The second issue is the rumble motor has a high pitched squeel when it's on. This was noticed on both controllers I recieved. I don't really like rumble so it wasn't a deal breaking for me since I intended to disable it anyway, but if you do use it, that noise is distracting to me. The battery lasted ~15hrs before dying. It charges fairly quickly though.
The other complaint not directly related to the controlelr itself is the app you're required to download if you want to tweak anything, is terrible. It's written by a Chinese company and requires your location and other data that I feel it really shouldn't require to connect to a bluetooth device. There is also a lot of bloatware included in it. I downloaded it to disable the rumble, and for some reason, even though these are hall effect sticks, the deadzone was set to 5. I set it to zero since they will never have a deadzone. After that I uninstalled the app. Removing the deadzone definatly improved response on the sticks.
So after all that, this remote is probably the best hall effect controller on the market, and at ~$50 it's hard to go wrong. Q&A could be improved, the LED could be toned down a lot, or at least dimmable, and the app needs to be pared down and not require location data. With all that said I'd buy it again.

I play cod everyday on PC. This controller is really good! But....
No drift worry anymore!I have PS4 and 5 controllers i use and i have probably went through 7 PS4 controllers in 3 years with playing so much warzone. I hardly use the PS5 controller except for single player games with Haptics.I play about 2 hours a dayI'll say this controller feels really good. The rumbles and clicky buttons are very satisfying especially the triggers. Its my first Xbox layout controller since the xbox 360 era so im still feeling it and its not bad but getting to the middle left button is hard with the kontrol freak in the way.The whole thing feels premium i like it even better than my PS5 controller that thing is too big and my hands are big but this feels right and comfortable like the PS4 controller.The software isn't a big deal to get to just download it to my galaxy s20 to fix some things. Here's where i had to tweak this controller.**HERES WHERE I NOTICE THE ISSUES**The controller even with a dongle has major input lag.Like 6ms+ input lag which i was bummed out about and you noticed it playing fps games. Idk why even sell a dongle.But connected it a solid 1ms input lag so ill probably hardly every use it wireless which sucks.The controller out the box felt off with the sticks and kontrol freaks and it had a deadzone of 5 so in the phone app i had to turn it down to 0.Also enable trigger stops it feels more better with fps on the triggersI ended up resetting my controller and when re pairing with the dongle i never realized there was a pair button on the bottom of the controller i had to press☆☆WHAT I LIKE ABOUT IT☆☆Good rumble and premium feelThe hall effect sticks and triggers is #1 100%Good buttons front and back clickynessLight weight and small unlike the fat PS5 controller.I would love to have a different layout similar to the ps5 or ps4 controller with these features ongMaybe connectivity with other platforms even though im only on PC nowA fast wireless connection too! Cmon figure it out,, so close...I'll comeback with another update in a couple of weeks. Until then, i would highly recommend this controller for PC players!
