Here is the story: I decided to buy a good and expensive controller for my PC for the first time, after 3 decades of using stock dualshocks and cheap knock-off brands. Googled “best controller for PC”, found a lot about elite series 2 controllers. Got excited about it (primarily the back-grip buttons and adjustable stick tightness), bought it.

After a month of playing Binding of Isaac I have decided to play some Doom Eternal to learn the hot new aiming technique - flick stick. Only to realize that this elite controller, that costs 130€ for the base kit, in current year, comes WITHOUT the gyro.

I honestly wish at least one of 5 reviews I watched and read mentioned this detail.

Is there any accessory I can acquire to get gyro, or would I have better luck returning the controller and buying something else?

Edit: I actually like everything else about the device, and not having the gyro is not exactly the deal breaker, but c’mon people
