Review on Gamepad Canyon CND-GPW3, black by Mateusz Cieciora ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied with the product, I recommend it to everyone.

In general, the gamepad left a double impression. Undoubtedly, he looks attractive, and really wants to appear solid among his brothers, has good stick performance, fits comfortably in the hands, and can work for a long time. But. The TURBO button is essentially an autoclicker. In racing, it is convenient to pair it with a brake to fix it in one range. But you can not adjust the frequency of pressing. And if in general the gamepad is not bad, then whatever one may say, this is the Canyon. And interestingly, this gamepad is very similar to the gamepad from Gamesir. I had both a webcam and a mouse from the Canyons. And somehow I was not enthusiastic about them, I don’t know why I was drawn to the Canyon again. But it's still better to take an xbox or something else, albeit a little more expensive. In light of the above shortcomings when using, some of which, in principle, can be solved or turned a blind eye to them, I can’t recommend this gamepad for purchase yet. Or wait for a discount at some retailer. I will ate my review after a couple of months of active use.

Pros
  • 1. Soundly assembled. No backlash, cracks and squeaks in the design 2. Long operating time, if you turn off (or set to a minimum) vibration and backlight 3. The work of the analog sticks is very good, according to the tests, there are practically no dead zones 4. Works both wirelessly from the adapter (which comes with the kit) and from the wire (maybe this is the case for all gamepads, but let it be a plus) 5. The presence of the TURBO button is just more a plus than a minus 6. Adjustable vibration and backlight 7. Out of the box, he is friends with Android, Switch, Nintendo, and Windows. In general, the gamepad is straight universal 8. Not heavy 9. Nice backlit right stick. Color changes from blue to red when TURBO mode is turned on 10. The letters on the buttons will never be erased, as they are inside. Deep inside transparent buttons
Cons
  • 1. The quality of the analog sticks themselves. Namely, their hats - well, thin ones. The gamepad is not cheap, and the sticks look like they were rushed from the cheapest. They could have been made a little thicker and more rubberized. Before that, I had an old Logitech RumblePad 2, so it has much better coverage of the stick caps themselves 2. The backlighting of the X-Y-B-A buttons, as it were, repeats the trend of the sticks, and looks both bright and somehow quite artisanal, so you immediately want to turn it off completely. For some reason, gamepads from IPEGA immediately come to mind, they have a very similar backlight 3. The BACK, START, HOME and TURBO buttons are practically on the same plane with the surface of the gamepad, fingers seem to find them, but it would be better if the buttons protruded a little more. 4. The gamepad does not want to be friends with games, no matter what mode you turn on. Steam and the X360 emulator come to the rescue 5. Corrugated plastic on the back of the gamepad - well, that's it. Maybe it saves from slippery, but the presence of a soft touch was clearly planned. Perhaps a silicone case would improve the situation 6. With all its advantages, the price is still too high. The red price for him is 2022. 7. D-pad and letter button presses may sound loud if deliberately listened to
