Details and specs

The GameSir Cyclone 2 is a mid-priced controller with TMR sticks, a newer magnetic design that is smooth, precise and resistant to drift. The Hall-effect triggers give plenty of control, and there are two rear paddles plus full remapping in the GameSir app. It comes with a charging stand.

It works with PC, Switch, Android and iOS, but not with Xbox or PS5 consoles. The D-pad and clicky face buttons split opinion; some reviewers find the D-pad mushy. Reviews also disagree on battery life.

  • Two programmable rear paddles
  • USB-C cable, Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz dongle
  • Charging stand included
  • Battery up to about 25 hours (maker’s figure)
