The cyclone 2 is already a great value controller at msrp. At this price nothing compares.

No, you would need a 3rd party adapter to get it to work. It's PC, Nintendo Switch, Android, and iOS. Supports both ds4 and x input for PC, but I have to say that the mode switching on it is kinda janky. I have to look up how to do it in the manual everytime, and the manual is massive and kinda unclear. Minor issue for an otherwise solid controller.

I've only used mine on PC and switch, so can't comment on how well it would work on iOS or android.

Also, don't let the ugly ass red lighting they use in the picture stop you from getting it. It's fully RBG customizable through their app, and you can completely turn it off too. I set mine to low brightness white or off and it looks way better than the marketing photos.

I'd watch out for swelling batteries on this controller. I bought one just over a year ago and had the battery start to swell and back of the case crack. There are other people on reddit and the discord reporting similar issues but Gamesir hasn't seem to acknowledge the problem and there doesn't seem to be a way to purchase a replacement battery.

I just bought another one of these.

I shopped around a little first, but once I made the switch to micro-switch buttons, I don't like going back to membrane buttons.

Controllers with switches, usually cost about double this. Cashback brought the price down to the mid $20s.

It's a solid controller. Wish this controller had a better dock, but oh well. For the price, it's still great.

This is the one without a dock, docks 5 bucks more. They dropped it to $37.45 again so the coupon works again, in for a try.

As for the battery issues, it would be surprising if the bad batch lwas still being sold at this point.

Unless you're really strapped for cash and/or just don't care that much about your controllers, I would actually recommending paying a bit extra and getting the G7 Pro instead. I had a Cyclone 2 and upgraded to th G7 Pro just recently and there's a couple of very specific reasons why the G7 Pro is considerably better:
  1. The G7 has a rubberized grip. This sounds like a really minor thing but it's actually a big deal, because for whatever reason most modern controllers (the Xbox one included) seem to assume everyone has a hand size somewhere between "fairy" and "small child". This is less of an issue for Dualshock-layout controllers, but for Xbox-style controllers the extreme left-positioning of the analogs means that the thumb is resting along the left edge of the left grip rather than running across it. This means the thumb is not supporting the left grip at all so you have to grip it extra tight with the bottom three fingers to compensate. Putting the thumb that far left also means the hand is kept in an uncomfortably tight "knife hand" shape rather than a more natural open one. In order to compensate, you have to hold the controller higher up on the shell, which requires the lower fingers to work even harder to hold the grip. The rubberized grip compensates for this by allowing the controller to sit relatively loosely ON your hand rather than being GRIPPED in it, significantly reducing fatigue over long sessions.
  2. The D-Pad on the Cyclone 2 is absolute ass. I'm pretty picky about my D-pads (I spent a lot of money back in the day buying various controllers to experiment with for fighting games before going back to the OG PS1, stickless pad lol) but this isn't a minor quibble like picky diagonals, the D-pad on the Cyclone 2 is so mushy that you actually have to press down hard just to navigate menus with it. It's completely unusable for actual d-pad play like in 2d platformers.
  3. I don't think Gamesir ever officially fixed the battery issue on the Cyclone. It's likely the battery manufacturer rather than just a defect, I wouldn't take chances with it.
