The GameSir Cyclone 2 feels great in my hands quality feels great. All the RGB lighting is customizable through their software. It also has four built-in profiles you can switch between for different button configurations you can program and RGB settings for each profile. It even connects with my Nintendo Switch 2! I picked mine up for $45 at that value it was a steal!
I’d highly recommend it.

Excelente 100% recomendado.
Es excelente, buena calidad de los materiales, buena calidad de los switches, las palancas son muy precisas, tiene buen nivel de batería, la aplicación es útil y sencilla, ojo para usar en Linux es un poco complicado y no es posible utilizar las aplicación.

Left toggle gets stuck in
The left toggle now gets stuck in after 40 days of purchase. Thats exactly 10 days outside of warranty. Makes me sad. It worked fine until today, so if you want a 40 day controller buy this disposable controller.

Excelente control, supera mis expectativas
Compré este control GameSir Cyclone 2 y la verdad me sorprendió mucho. La calidad de construcción se siente muy buena, los botones responden perfectamente y los joysticks son precisos. La conexión inalámbrica funciona sin problemas y la batería tiene una duración excelente.
Lo he usado durante varias horas seguidas y resulta muy cómodo, incluso en sesiones largas de juego. La configuración fue sencilla y funcionó correctamente desde el primer momento.Por el precio que tiene, considero que ofrece una excelente relación calidad-precio. Si estás buscando un control inalámbrico confiable, cómodo y con muy buen rendimiento, definitivamente lo recomiendo.

Wireless + very convenient docking station but battery problems after a year
Pros:
1. Charging dock is very convenient
2. Well sized
3. Good weight
Cons:
1. Initial setup almost always requires help from GameSir’s Discord server
2. After ~1y of 10h of usage a week, the battery melted the plastic back plate enough for it to crack, resulting in a chunk of plastic falling off
3. Along with [2], the battery didn’t seem to hold a charge for longer than 5m and requires being plugged into a power source

Great controller 100% recommend
I recently picked up the GameSir Cyclone 2 controller, and I’m honestly really impressed with how premium it feels for the price. Right out of the box, the build quality stands out—the materials feel solid, and the overall design gives it that high-end controller vibe. It has a comfortable weight to it, and it just feels great in your hands during long gaming sessions.
The ergonomics are excellent. The grip feels natural, and the buttons, triggers, and thumbsticks all have a responsive, satisfying feel. Everything feels tight and well-made, with no cheap or loose parts. Whether I’m playing fast-paced games or something more relaxed, the controller performs consistently and feels precise.
Another thing I really like is how smooth and reliable the connectivity is. It pairs easily and maintains a stable connection without any noticeable lag or dropouts. That makes a big difference, especially in games where timing matters. It’s been a seamless experience across different gaming sessions.
Overall, I think the GameSir Cyclone 2 is an amazing value. It delivers a premium feel, solid performance, and great comfort without the premium price tag. If you’re looking for a controller that feels high-end and performs just as well, this is definitely a great choice.

Dongle was missing from controller.
Well, the control was in great shape and clean and well-presented only thing for me was that i didn't get a dongle as described. So i have to connect via cable which kind of restrict me to being so close to my monitor.

Get this over first party controllers
Super good controller with the best cutting edge features like TMR sticks, Hall effect triggers, mechanical face buttons etc. for $50. Beats first party controllers by a long shot!

Tuve este control por más de 1 año y medio y puedo decir con certeza que es el mejor mando para videojuegos que he tenido en Pc.
Estéticamente es hermoso, la calidad es incomparable con cualquier otro en el mercado, tiene buen precio; sinceramente no podría pedir más. Recomendado

One of best controllers in the $60 price range
I don't see why there's a reason to buy 1st party controllers that this point when you can get 3rd party ones for similar prices but with tmr or hall effect sticks, trigger stops, back buttons, and maybe gyro. Although for the D pad the PlayStation 4/5 controllers are better

El mejor mando pro calidad-precio
El GameSir Cyclone 2 ha superado todas mis expectativas, consolidándose como el mejor control inalámbrico que he probado gracias a su funcionamiento impecable a 1000Hz de tasa de sondeo, lo que elimina por completo el input lag y ofrece una respuesta tan inmediata y fluida como si estuviera conectado por cable, algo que marca una diferencia crítica en juegos competitivos. La precisión es absoluta gracias a la combinación de sus joysticks y gatillos con tecnología Hall Effect, que no solo garantizan una suavidad increíble en el apuntado sin zonas muertas, sino que eliminan definitivamente el miedo al stick drift a largo plazo; esto, sumado a la satisfacción táctil de sus botones frontales con micro-switches mecánicos de actuación instantánea, los botones traseros programables y una ergonomía texturizada perfecta para sesiones largas, hace que ofrezca prestaciones de un mando "Elite" por una fracción del precio, convirtiéndolo en una compra obligatoria para cualquier usuario de PC que busque rendimiento profesional.

Cyclone 2 is a great controller
I’ve owned the Cyclone 2 for over a year now. The controller is still working flawlessly and has become my favorite controller. I’ve used several controllers over the last couple years including a few from Gamesir. I still find myself reaching for this controller over the others. The build quality doesn’t scream super premium but still yet it’s not developed any creaks or loose tolerances.
I would also like to speak on Gamesir as a company: I recently had issues with another Gamesir controller, specifically the new G7 pro with it developing an issue with the trigger stops malfunctioning. Gamesir support was quick to respond to my emails and promptly sent me a functioning controller. They were class and professional every step of the way.
All in all I really like the Cyclone 2 and I look forward to future revisions of the controller.

1 step forward, 3 steps back
No stick drift, but updates brick the controller (no warning or info readily available on the discord, had to make a QnA just to find out how to fix, still took a week to fix) A button has been going out after about 3 months of use, was told it was just "turbo mode" now it doesn't function at all. Left click is stuck, doesn't "click" but still sorta functions. It was cheaper than an official controller but not nearly as good of quality in other areas. Video is of the update "fix" after you play for an hour or so

Best I've used by far
This is the best controller I've ever used and I would argue the best on the market, especially at this price point. It is very easy to set up, plug and play using the USB dongle, and for Bluetooth just follow the steps to pair and connect. The build quality and materials are very nice. Battery life is also stellar, I have yet to drain it while playing multiple hour sessions. My favorite feature is the switch on the triggers which allows you to make the trigger more like a mechanical button. A great feature for FPS players. It is definitely an upgrade over a stock Xbox or Playstation controller. Also, for Playstation users that prefer the Xbox layout, this is the best option. I use it mostly for Halo on PC with which I noticed an immediate improvement in my aiming ability and control with the TMR sticks, especially with the sniper rifle. I also use it for mobile games like Destiny Rising and COD mobile. A note about COD mobile on Android: To get it to connect and work with COD mobile you need to pair the controller using the Playstation controller mode (DS4 mode). This is done by holding the 'home' and 'B' buttons simultaneously until the home light flashes blue. Then pair it with your device. The standard Bluetooth pairing mode for Android listed in the instructions works for Destiny, but not for COD so just follow the DS4 (Dual Shock 4) pairing operation. In summary this controller rocks and was worth every penny!

Lo mejor calidad precio!
Está bueno, en mano se siente ligeramente más pequeño que el de la Switch, buena egonomía, buen peso, ni muy ligero ni pesado, su tiempo de respuesta es adecuado, pero si necesitas velocidad extrema creo que deberías buscar otras opciones, pero son mucho más cartas tranquilamente 5 veces más caras, este mando, para su precio... está excelente!!

Amazing Budget Controller That Punches Above Its Weight
After only a year, my Xbox wireless controller developed bad stick drift, so I started looking for a replacement with Hall effect or TMR joysticks. Since I'm a casual gamer at best, I wanted something budget-friendly. My first try was the 8BitDo Ultimate, which was stylish and functional, but it just did not fit my hands. After about ten minutes of use, I would start to cramp.
I came across some great reviews for the GameSir Cyclone 2 and decided to give it a shot. I cannot recommend this controller enough. It is extremely comfortable, especially if you are used to an Xbox controller, and the buttons and joysticks feel excellent. I did a circularity test on the joysticks comparing my old Xbox controller to this one, and attached the results here. The results speak for themselves.
For the price, I cannot believe how good this controller is. The joysticks and triggers make it feel like a much more expensive piece of hardware. If you are dealing with stick drift or just want a reliable, comfortable controller without breaking the bank, this is a great buy.

Can’t get much better at this price!
Really like this controller! It’s a nice light weight, really comfortable to hold. Back buttons feel really good, was a little bummed there are only 2 but that’s really all I ever use anyway even when I have 4. The rgb is great, would love a few more preset profiles for the lights but they are really bright and fun, my toddler loves watching them. Buttons feel great, they’re a little squishier than the mechanical ones I’ve used on other controllers recently but they feel good in comparison to stock Xbox controllers. Absolutely love that it has a 3.5mm headphone jack, it’s nice to be able to throw in some nice wired earbuds and just enjoy the sound. The sticks feel pretty good, nice grippy texture around the outside and smooth concave center. Would absolutely pay another $5-10 to have swappable sticks though. Supposedly kontrol freeks will fit but I haven’t ordered any yet. Supposedly the ps4/ps5 kontrol freeks fit nicely but I haven’t tested that personally yet, but will be soon. Response time is solid, but I’ve not gotten much time in game with it at the time of writing this. Love the GameSir software, it’s really easy to use, you can even make changes with the controller in the app! App is pc only, so be aware of that if you’re buying it for switch or mobile use. Overall a solid controller, not sure you can get a better deal at the $55 price point. Highly recommend.

Broke after 2 months
I really loved this controller and recommended it to several friends. Unfortunately it only lasted 2 months of light use before it broke.
The plastic ring around the left joystick broke out of nowhere and fell down into the controller, immediately giving off a horrible crunching/grinding noise and feeling. I was hoping maybe I could take it apart and just pop that ring back in place but most of the teeth on the front faceplate are broke so it will not sit in place anymore. So I guess it still “works” electronically at least, but now the left stick has way too much range of motion and doesn’t feel right at all. This pretty much ruined any idea of precision, which is kind of important in just about every game, so now I need another controller. Very disappointed and frustrated.
Pics include broken left stick showing the teeth and what it should look like on the right stick.

Drifts out of the box
Nice feeling controller that has drifted non-stop the second I unboxed it. I've recalibrated it 50 times and it always starts drifting after a couple minutes. Trying to do a warranty claim is a nightmare, since they require like 5 videos of the controller not working, and they're still not satisfied. Spend your money elsewhere.

Great ergonomics, plastic feels cheap and the laser etched grips feel rough. The trigger lock switch are on the bottom of the triggers themselves which is different. Pc software is good still need more time to test reliability

Excellent controller for a great price
I don't write reviews very often but this controller deserves it.
I was hesitant before buying it but decided to take a chance because of the price. Thank God I did, this controller is excellent, from the materials, the hall effect joysticks, the feel when using it, the rechargeable battery.
I currently have an Elite Series 2 controller and a Pro Comtroller for switch. I honestly prefer using the Gamesir.
I had connection problems using the Elite on Windows 11 PC, every so often I would lose connection for a few seconds. With the Cyclone this problem was solved, I was playing for a couple of hours and I had no problems at all.
If you are hesitant, don't be. This controller is an excellent piece of hardware.

Lights flicker after 2 hours of usage
Can't recommend something it goes this light flicker after 2-3 hours of usage. And I can't even return it / request refund because I trusted them blindly that I destroyed the box.
Controller feels awesome and the software is superior but it truly sucks that the lights are doing this

I can hear the rumble motors, but the right motor especially is very audible.
Was testing the controller out and everything was good until I noticed I really hear the rumble motors. I don't know if this by design or a faulty product but it very distracting. The right motor especially is very loud.
