Strong recommendation for Cyclone 2. I've been so happy with my first one that I'm about to order a second one.
Excellent ergonomics. The RGB you asked for. Works perfectly with my CachyOS and Bazzite setups out of the box. Premium metal charging stand included. Excellent clicky switches including changing triggers to micro switches. Hall effect triggers. TMR sticks. 2 back buttons.
This is available brand new on eBay for £30 in UK. You won't be disappointed.
Okay that excellent ergonomics sounded reassuring because I've heard that it had weirder ergonomics, so maybe that's just such a small nitpick from those ytbers. What games do you use it for?
I'd say ymmv. I struggle reaching L1 while using the analog stick. Depending on a game, I'd often switch L1 and L2 around. It works, but it's mildly annoying.
I also seem to have an issue with the face buttons double clicking sometimes. This doesn't matter 99% of a time, but some games (Persona) don't like it. It's a shame, because otherwise it's a fantastic controller.
Before this I had a 360 and 2 gulikit controllers and none of those had this issue. I actually really love the feel of the newer gulikit, unfortunately the wireless performance is atrocious.
Hmm do you have bigger hands or smaller? Maybe the Cyclone 2 is actually preferable for taller hands.
WHich Gulikit do you use? The Gulikit TT Pro / Max honestly seems amazing seeing by just some reviews and specs. Even the latency is excellent on both wireless modes. https://gamepadla.com/gulikit-tt-pro.html
I'd say on the larger side of medium. The way I hold it I use my index finger for both L1/2 and the curve on the back (of the controller) makes it that I need to shift my grip when I wanna switch between them. I can hit the corner of L1 with the last knuckle, but it feels kinda off to do that.
I have the old NS09 (KK Pro) and NS39 (KK3 Max). The dongle latency is on par with bluetooth, which is not great. https://gamepadla.com/gulikit-kk3-max-kingkong-3-ns39.html
