i bought Razer Wolverine V2 yesterday tried it for a few rounds not hit one perfect 95% of the time it's slow if i try to flick it harder nothing happens anyhow will give it a few more rounds Have you calibrated it? Different controllers have different inputs. If I calibrate when switching between controllers it sorts that out straight away |

I really hope that you guys trying the 3rd party controllers don't get pulled up on API metrics for any reason.
In past games, there's always been a really good reason to steer clear of 3rd party pads and PLENTY have had issue.

I had my rounds in TGC checked by Doyley and it’s passed Edit: the cheap pads like power A, fail the api |

I had my rounds in TGC checked by Doyley and it’s passed Edit: the cheap pads like power A, fail the api It's nowhere near as simple as that Les... I appreciate in your case, you have taken the initiative and had your rounds checked, which is the right thing to do, and good for you. However, just because you are able to pass with a 3rd party pad, does not mean that the next man will. If one man has a more accurate swing than the next, by say ~10% on deviation, then you add a straighter pad into the mix... He can easily end up with figures that would trigger API. It's not solely to do with the cost / build quality of pads either. I played every other game than TGC with a Razer Raiju for almost the entire PS4 era. That is a premium, hard wired, competition pad... It was too straight. The first couple of times I used it (not on tour) it was obvious it was too straight so I didn't use it again, bar some testing for SmilingGoats a few years back. The line is that the site strongly recommends official pads. As said, I hope that everyone finds something comfortable for them, and don't trouble the API. |

In my case I’m 68 years old and have neurological problems that stop me making the same swing twice pushing through on a straight line is the least of my problems. It’s like trying to play the game with Tourette’s. If I thought this controller was giving me an unfair advantage I wouldn’t use it simple as that but that would mean me dropping off the tours and probably away from this game. |

That's not what anyone wants, and I'm certainly not intimating that you are getting an unfair advantage Les, however, your case is indeed my point regards the accuracy of one man's swing vs another when factoring in 3rd party pads. If you put your pad in the hands of a 21 year old ninja, it MIGHT be that his accuracy of swing, coupled with the springs in the sticks of that particular pad produced grouping on the API charts that was too tight. What works for one man might not work for the next, in the 3rd party pad market. Stock pad sticks are the safest bet, but people are free to use whatever they like. |

From only using official Xbox and Sony PS controllers I think the Sony controllers are quite a bit more difficult to hit straight lines. Some of these 3rd party controllers have quite sensitive sticks coupled with higher polling rates than official Xbox controllers(on PC anyway). So we are basically looking at more sensitive sticks than official Xbox controllers to pass API then?. Also higher polling rates would also draw a more accurate swing line so maybe that's the reason it is easier to swing straighter on Xbox contollers than Sony controllers. |

will give it a try yes slow before and slow after You might try calibrating intentionally slow. Might not work but if you already calibrated, can't hurt. |

So we are basically looking at more sensitive sticks than official Xbox controllers to pass API then? Sorry, I don't fully understand the question mate. If the sticks are more sensitive, or harder to keep straight than an official pad, you're likely to be ok on API. If the springs / centre return are stronger on the 3rd party pad, regardless of stick resolution, you might run into difficulties. It's a bit of a minefield, and what is ok for one man might be too straight for another. That's all I'm saying. |

Is it worth overclocking the ds5 wired controller for a pc player?
are there tangible benefits or are we talking about a placebo?

Can confirm that the Thrustmaster eSwap is the hardest controller I’ve used to try and swing straight, it’s almost like the stick has no springs! I’ve had to max out putt path to not miss tiddlers! As soon as I tested it I knew it should be fine for API, the tempo is nice on it but I rarely hit straight because of the swing path |
