PC Would you recommend the Gamesir Nova Lite?

[Max]

My old controller died and I need recommendations or to know if anyone owns any of these. I plan to use it for emulators and some PC games (Tboi and cuphead)
I've seen some reviews praising the Hall effect and battery life but I need even more reliable information.
Also, in case you don't recommend it, I want to hear other alternatives at a similar price.

I bought mine 8 months ago. It's my first PC controller, and it's been great so far. The battery life is pretty good — I usually play on weekends, for about 8 to 14 hours, without needing to recharge. I typically just recharge it afterward.

The only issues I've had were with Bluetooth connectivity — it simply didn’t work on my PC, and when it did, it was detected as a PlayStation controller and didn’t function properly. I usually just use it with XInput via the dongle, and it works fine that way.

However, the dongle seems a bit fragile, so I'm very careful when removing it from my PC or Xbox 360 to avoid breaking it.

Overall, I’m quite happy with it, especially considering how cheap it was.

Mine works fine with PC so far but I also can't connect with Bluetooth natively with my PC. I have to use the dongle. But mostly, I play it wired and no problems so far. At least it's quite cheap.

Also, all the regular versions do not come with a wire but if you buy the slightly more expensive Avengers edition (Captain America and Iron Man), these ones do include a wire (at least mine did.)

Yes, I have an RGH modded Xbox 360 where I use the Freestyle 3 dashboard. I looked into using third-party controllers since my original ones were broken, and I found a script on Reddit that you can add to DashLaunch to enable support for third-party controllers.

Nice, enjoy it!

Ok, I have an Xbox with Aurora, I'll try if it works too.
Thanks

I mainly use the King Kong 2 or 3 controller, works pretty well imo. Haven't had a problem so far.
