I recently acquired a Piranha 9123 vibrating gamepad, a budget-friendly controller readily available online. I purchased mine from a local store for around 50-70 Turkish Lira, a bit of a lucky find. The packaging was simple, a plain plastic box, yet sturdy enough; opening it proved a bit challenging.
The gamepad boasts a generous 2.1-meter cable, more than adequate length. I strongly advise against hunting for wireless controllers under 110 Turkish Lira; connection issues are quite common.
It's advertised as having dual vibration motors, but I haven't managed to activate this feature. Testing it with PES 2019, GTA VI, and ETS2 yielded no noticeable vibrations. I'll update if I find the solution.
This gamepad features 16 buttons and two analog sticks. The buttons offer decent responsiveness. The analog sticks, aside from directional control, also feature a clickable function—allowing you to assign additional commands. The directional pad feels robust, promising reliable performance.
The action buttons use the standard numerical labels (1,2,3,4) often seen on less expensive controllers, instead of the typical shapes. The analog sticks appear well-built and durable. The shoulder buttons (R1-R2-L1-L2) occasionally feel slightly recessed, requiring a firmer press to register; long-term use might reveal problems. The central Select and Start buttons function flawlessly. However, the button responsible for toggling the analog stick sensitivity is, frankly, dreadful; it's loose, wobbly and feels prone to failure.
The gamepad is constructed from inexpensive plastic, requiring careful handling to avoid damage.
In summary, here's a rating:
Cable Length: 9/10
Button Responsiveness: 8/10
Button Quality: 6/10 (excluding the analog stick toggle)
Ergonomics: 7/10
Overall Build Quality: 5/10
AVERAGE: 7/10
Considering its price point of around 25 Turkish Lira, it represents exceptional value. Any errors are unintentional and I appreciate your understanding.
