"Well, we needed a gimmick and polling rate was on discount"

You can just swap it for a different one if you want to, no?
I'd bet that no one would be able to tell if this thing was just polling at 800hz. What a stupid gimmick.
You could tell if your screen was 8000 hertz though!
I most certainly could not!
Ive had two of their controllers and both were the worst controllers I've ever owned. The first one brole within a week and the second constantly disconnects. Not to mention the back buttons on it broke within 4 months of use. These were the higher end models as well not cheap shit.
Good deal but ... 8,000 Hz on an analog joystick?
Genuinely pointless when the game only processes inputs once between frames, I don't know of any actual game that would take advantage of more than 400hz polling
The bigger the hertz, the bigger the dick. It's just a fact.
Isn't that like 100x faster than your motor cortex can transmit a signal to your finger instructing it to move?
Gamesir kicks ass.
I was shocked when I found out how good my GameSir Super Nova is. Hands down the best controller I've ever used, with a fantastic docking station that can just be combined with a dongle. And it costs less than a regular Xbox/PlayStation/Nintendo controller.
Cool. Don't see the appeal, but of people want it, then good that is getting a PC version
