It feels really nice in the hands. From the little thins like the slight bevel around the top edge to the recessed ledge on the bottom allowing for the additional start/select and RB/RL buttons, and even on the back corners where your thumb muscle normally rests, it's all feeling really nice to hold and use. The stick itself is large and allows for easy movement. You can also twist it and remove it from the base completely. The plastics used seem high quality and will probably outlast me. This is the USB version and was plug and play on Windows 11. It's identified by Windows as a Trooper V2, but it does seem to detect 8 buttons rather than the 6 it has. Doesn't seem to affect it's use in games though. It works with Steam without an issue as an X input device and you can remap the buttons to anything you want. So plenty of compatibility. If you're using it like I am with the Atari 50: The Anniversary Celebration on Steam, the entire interface and set of games can be all played using the controller alone. It works really well out of the gate. Just have to get used to the RB/RL moving around the top menu instead of having quick access to what would be the X button. The games play just as I remember them and are still as much fun as they were back then. While you don't get a USB-C adapter in the box, I have used one with it and it works great as does using a USB hub. Cable length is long as it is so if you're using it with a MiSTer for TV setups it should be ok, but if you're extending with a USB hub or extension cable you won't have an issue. Overall, it's a nice controller. Rugged and feels really nice to use. Review: Trooper 2 - Great Joystick on Linux and Windows - Solid, well built and works really well.
