Review on Gamepad GC-400 (11 buttons 2 sticks, Touchpad, D-pad, PS4/PS3/PC) by Stanislaw Jastrzebsk ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

A wonderful product, its nice to use.

Sensitive sticks with zero dead zone while not shaking. Switching between xinput and direct input is done by long pressing share+options. The LED will change color, another gamepad will appear in the devices. Yes, there is one peculiarity here: if, for example, Steam is running, then when you insert the gamepad, it forces it into PS4 mode. The third variety will appear in devices - DS4 controller. Well, the HOME button will work, when you click on it, steam big picture will start. HOME+X - settings menu. The touchpad also works. The peculiarity of the PS4 mode is that you cannot exit it by pressing share + options, it is blocked. It is necessary to close Steam and pull-insert the gamepad, then it will become normal again. Yes, if you first insert the gamepad, and then start Steam, then the ps4 mode will not turn on, the one that was active before that will remain and you need to pull it out and insert it again to activate it. So far I've tried two games. Detroit (in xinput mode). Everything was perfectly picked up without any dances with a tambourine, including vibration. The only but - the xbox (XYAB) layout is not applied on the buttons, so you have to press from memory. And Jets'n'guns 2 from steam, gamepad in ps4 mode. Well, everything is already the same here, X is in its place, like the rest of the characters. The gamepad withstood about 12 hours of wild trash, when the left stick dangled incessantly and beat against the limiter, and the buttons were pressed furiously and with a vengeance)) Everything is in order, nothing creaked, no backlash and no sunk. Decent gamepad, especially for the money)

Pros
  • Pretty good in the hands. The sticks are edged with rough rubber so that the finger does not slip, the effort is just right, not tight. The buttons almost do not rattle, the pad is quite accurate, there are no errors "pressed down, but pressed diagonally". The triggers are smooth and also not tight. Good vibro, not intrusive, just right. Can work in three modes: Xinput, Direct input and PS4.
Cons
  • Well, the main drawback is the outrageous brightness of the LED. It shines green in xinput mode, otherwise blue. In the dark in front of the TV, it illuminates the room so well)) I sealed it in three layers with construction tape, it still shines through, but much weaker and no longer interferes. No rubberized ribbed grips like on the thrustmaster, but for the price it's ok.
