Anyone tried if this thing work on epic store?
If you are asking if it works with the Epic Games Store app for navigating the store and launching the games, no it does not.
If you are asking if it works with the games you install from the epic games store, as long as the game supports a controller, yes it does.

I played some FF7R with this the other day, worked great.

Thanks buddy, but recent reviews made me rethink my purchase idea.

DIAGONAL INPUTS DON'T REGISTER CORRECTLY

anyone who wants to see one of this controller's biggest issues in action, play Resident Evil 8 (the demo should work too) and move your camera diagonally.
you will find that the camera movement will be drastically too slow.

in some games this is a huge issue with this controller... i really hope they will fix it, but I have no idea how to report this as they don't seem to have a forum or official subreddit


Haven't noticed it. Oh well.

try RE8, that game showcases the issue the best. it seems to affect some games more tha others.

in any case people should know that this controller does have isssues atm... and I have no idea how to report them tbh

I heard people praising that thing like the second coming of jesus but it was more like the turd coming of judas...

Not to be evil, but i suspect the majority were nintendo only fans who can recognise a good controller to save their lives.


I'm pretty sure that an elite controller only feels a scam when it broke, not since day one, but i never had one of those so who knows...

Well imo its a very decent controllers with nice ergonomics and overal performance ie: good enough for me.

Not really interested to try it out to be honoust but I believe you and it should be made known and fixed for sure. Good for pointing it out mate

Very decent is a bit rough for 70 dollars.

Dual sense cost that much and it feels way more quality, and everyone and their mother knows how much i troll that thing for the useless gimmicks.

70? I think I got it for 40 or such? 70 is waaaaaaaay to steep. Now I see where your coming from. Bought mine at switch initial launch.

That's ridiculous. Simple.

That 8bitdo is more or less the same, trust me, better dpad as well and back buttons for 45€

Just an fyi

what I still really don't understand is why third party controllers like these aren't simply compatible with everything...

there are dongles that do that, so it certainly is not a legal issue with licensing or anything.

so why does that wired controller not work with Xbox or PS4?

It does not work with Epic Store or Gog Galaxy (don't use the Beth or R* launchers). IE you cannot navigate the store to launch games with the controller, but it works just fine playing the games (just tried out CP2077 to be sure). GymWolf GymWolf

I don't care about browsing with the controller but you confirm that at least on gog and epic store i can use the controller to actually play the games?

What about the ubisoft store?

Thanks.
