Here is the story: I decided to buy a good and expensive controller for my PC for the first time, after 3 decades of using stock dualshocks and cheap knock-off brands. Googled “best controller for PC”, found a lot about elite series 2 controllers. Got excited about it (primarily the back-grip buttons and adjustable stick tightness), bought it.

After a month of playing Binding of Isaac I have decided to play some Doom Eternal to learn the hot new aiming technique - flick stick. Only to realize that this elite controller, that costs 130€ for the base kit, in current year, comes WITHOUT the gyro.

I honestly wish at least one of 5 reviews I watched and read mentioned this detail.

Is there any accessory I can acquire to get gyro, or would I have better luck returning the controller and buying something else?

Edit: I actually like everything else about the device, and not having the gyro is not exactly the deal breaker, but c’mon people

    Unfortunately so much stuff on the web is astroturfed it’s hard to form a good opinion nowadays.

    Even the products reviews or maybe especially these it’s hard to tell what is true nowadays and what is fiction or misinfo

    Id love to brush it off and say eh just paranoid but there’s real money and motive.

    Reddit was relatively good for some time but then I heard it’s already full of marketing
