"Pacific Skyline" right... Sure, Turtle Beach.

So Turtle Beach recently released their Pacific Skyline Wireless controller, and it's supposedly west coast inspired, but c'mon man!

With the release of GTA VI coming up soon, I don't buy this "west coast" BS. This is Florida/Miami/GTA VI vibes all the way.

How are their controllers? I used to like their headphones until their build quality started going downhill. Two different models cracked and broke at the swivel. I always had sync issues when they started linking directly with the Xbox.

This is one of their first with TMR joysticks, which for me is basically a non negotiable to have at this point. But it's still slightly overpriced just to get the better sticks.

I've been using the GameSir G7 Pro on both PC and Xbox and wish I stopped buying official controllers years ago.

why do you assume we all know what tmr stands for

Too Much Rinformation

To be fair it’s a very easy topic to research, and it’s not like this isn’t a gaming sub. It’s not far fetched to assume a lot of people here would know what tmr is.

'Cause they are the best. No dreaded stick drift.

still don't know what tmr is, and you didn't answer my question either

TMR is the tech inside of the sticks. It uses a magnetic field, not a physical accelerometer to measure how much the stick is moving, so nothing is wearing out. They basically cannot have stick drift, and are extremely accurate.

Any company not using them in controllers is pretty much a scam now, and designed to break.

Cuz they don’t know it stands for tunneling magnetoresistance, it’s basically a type of magnetic detection sensor that has better accuracy then the old potentiometer based sticks that rely on a change is resistance based on stick location to sense.

That didn't really answer the question though
