RPM Euro Games PC Controller Wireless Hardware Review
I have used various controllers throughout my life & one thing I have realized is that on-hand feel is very important. And, this Euro games controller feels pretty good on the hands. You can comfortably sit & game without any issues for 2-3 hours using this controller.
Similarly, for the price, I found the haptics on the joystick to be pretty good, considering the price, it’s quite impressive! However, its no Xbox or Playstation controller.
One thing that disappointed me the most was the hardware buttons on the joystick. The tactile feel of using the Joystick while gaming is pretty bad, especially the R1, R2, L1, & L2 keys. I found the feel of using these buttons to be below average in first-person shooting games.
So if you are looking for something that might help you go pro on a budget then this won’t be the best gamepad for the job. Nevertheless, the benefit of going with this gamepad is that you can also use it with Playstation 3. You can hook up this RPM Euro Games PC controller to an old Playstation 3 that might be laying around.
Moreover, you can get this Euro RPM controller either in Xbox style A, B, Y, & X buttons or Playstation style O, X, Δ, & ▢ buttons. For PC gamers, going with XBOX style buttons makes more sense.
The biggest pro of the gamepad is that it is rechargeable so you can use the charging cable to charge the gamepad. However, good luck finding a new cable if you lose the one provided with the box. Euro games controller uses an outdated USB port and in 2023 no gamepad should use it.
At the side of the charging port, you will find LED indicators showing you in which mode the joystick is operating in, you can use it in direct input digital mode, Android mode, & PS3 mode.
Pros Of The Controller
Can be charged using your controller
Vibration haptics good for the price
Xbox style A, B, Y, & X buttons
Supports PC, PS3, & Android devices
LED indicators to show the joystick mode
Cons Of The Controller
Uses an outdated USB charging port, a replacement cable will be hard to find
R1, R2, L1, L2, & D-Pad button pressing feel of average quality
Requires you to provide phone number to download driver
Setup Process Overview: How Do I Connect My RPM Euro Gaming Controller To My Pc?
Setting up process on Windows 10 & 11 didn’t require any additional software. It was a quick plug & play but if you face any issues then you can download the official driver from the Euro gaming website. I would only recommend downloading & installing the software if you are facing any issues.
The reason for that is the Euro games require you to provide your phone number if you want to download drivers. And, I am not a fan of this concept of providing phone numbers to download simple drivers.
Conclusion: Should You Buy Euro Games Controller?
In a word, yes. There are many cheap gaming controllers being sold online but this is the cheapest wireless controller that is actually worth using. However, if you are coming down from using an Xbox controller as your main controller or any other high-end controller then this isn’t for you. I don’t think anyone who has used good quality controller would be able to transition into using this controller.
Go for it, if you are looking for a controller that will allow you to play games casually & enjoy your weekend.
