It's a good controller especially at this price point, but I would note two things:

1. It feels very small and cramped if you have big hands. It's got a standard Xbox-shaped shell but the triggers are a lot narrower requiring a more contorted hand stretch.
2. The battery on these is known to have issues with swelling after a few months. Yours may be fine but if you do get this controller you should at least go in expecting to possibly have to dispose it very carefully in a few months.

Is the battery easy to swap out, or does a bad battery junk the entire controller?

I believe it's built pretty far into the sheel so it's probably a bust unless you're confident in your ability to reassemble it without making something loose or wiggly in the process.

How do these compare to the 8bitdo controllers that are around the same price?

I like these ones better. 8bitdo has a bit of an awkward shape for me. I have these exact same ones for a few months now and battery is still fine. Granted I only play a few hours a week.

Looks like it does, you just have to choose the "Set" option/"color" (the link went to the controller-only listing). I'm seeing it for like, 30¢ more.

I just grabbed one of these a couple weeks ago (without the dock, unfortunately) and I've been fairly impressed. Had not heard of the battery issues, that's definitely something I will keep an eye out for, but I'm also capable of repairing something like that without too much issue, so I'm not overly worried about it.

The ergonomics work pretty well for my hands (not large, but not particularly small, either); the back paddle buttons are a lot more ergonomic than my Xbox Elite controller levers, which I find interfere with how I want to grip the handles. Easy to remap them mid-game, good support for Mac & PC, and it even takes aftermarket replacement stick gates made for Xbox controllers. Short-throw on the triggers is nice, though I honestly wish that there was a way to make them work at the bottom of the range instead of the top -- but in short throw mode, they turn clicky (digital), which is much nicer than the partial-throw that a lot of other controllers have for that feature, to me.

Can't speak to longevity and, obviously, the battery thing, but it's a lot of value for the pricepoint, so if it lasts the way a TMR controller should, it's an absolute steal. If it doesn't... eh, still probably worth it as a modding platform, for me, at least. It's half-tempting to grab another one.

I find it to be the opposite, I find I like the size as its bigger feeling also bigger than most other top end brands like flydigi and 8bit on my desk
Just goes to show you hands are different and different grips
I want a cyclone 3 or cyclone 2 size with vader pro 5 layout n features made by 8bit lol
My battery in mine is on 10 moths now.

Are battery issues like this normal for GameSir?

I've used a bunch of 8bitdo and some PowerA controllers and I'd never seen a battery issue flagged on them.

I think creating a new account, should get you the lower price
