User questions & answers

Question:	Does the comes with the same preorder bonus of Portal 2 or Rocket League
Answer:	My own opinion is that the grip is just fine for extended play. During the few weeks after receiving the controller, I played through over 100+ hours of Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice , and my hands never cramped up. Large-size gloves tend to fit my (adult) hands well, though I will sometimes wear extra large gloves if a manufacturer's large size is too tight.
Question:	Is this controller compatible with Windows computer
Answer:	I have had no issues on my retroarch
Question:	Does it come with a wireless dongle/adapter to connect it wirelessly to my pc
Answer:	It will connect to most consoles and PC's that utilize Bluetooth.
Question:	Can you use this controller by itself with your pc or do you need to buy the steam link unit as well
Answer:	They sell controller port adapters that you can plug into most retro consoles if thats what you're asking. If you're using an emulator or emulation machine that doesn't have bluetooth they sell USB bluetooth dongles as well.

User questions & answers

Question:	how do i reset controls for my Zhidong V gamepad because i somehow accedentally switched regular movement from Left Analog stick to the d-pad
Answer:	You can press the key Back + LSB( press the left stick vertically ).
Question:	Anyone compare this to the logitech f310? which one's better? http://www.amazon.com/logitech-940-000110-gamepad-f310/dp/b003vahyqy
Answer:	I have both and I like the ZD-V better than the F310 overall but here are my pros and cons of each: The F310 has softer pressing buttons and analog sticks, which I prefer, but the F310 has actual triggers on L2 and R2 and I hate those, they are very stiff and awkward to use. The D-Pad is OK, but not great. My F310 just randomly does not work at all and has to be unplugged and re-plugged (since it was new) to get it to function again...for a while. The ZD-V has tighter pressing buttons and analog sticks, and has buttons instead of triggers on L2 and R2, which is probably not "proper" but I prefer it. The D-Pad on this one is very good and Playstation-like. The ZD-V is just more comfortable to use overall. I have had mine for several years and it is still working like new.
Question:	Does this work with emulators
Answer:	Usually any controller that works with Windows will work with Emulators.
Question:	Will the controller be compatible with Windows 10? Will a new version of this controller be released soon
Answer:	I am running 2 of these gamepads on my acer laptop that is running Windows 10, and it was Plug-n-Play. Detected and working perfectly! This is a great gamepad doesn't feel cheap in any way and works perfect with MAME and Maximus Arcade front end for MAME as well as Windows Games running on Windows 10.

User questions & answers

Question:	How do you order a different color? this listing is for the metallic gold. is that all that's available right now? thanks
Answer:	I don’t own a G9, but it works with G85 and GH4. I’m almost certain it fits the G9.
Question:	how long is the cord
Answer:	The TT685"O" model is made to sync with Olympus for TTL flash. It will, however, work as a manual hotshot flash with your Canon Rebel (or on a remote cord, if you use it off camera). In terms of remote usage with the on camera transmitter N1, again, it will work in manual mode, but not TTL. I have Canon and Olympus systems, and confirm this will work interchangeably ONLY in manual mode, not in TTL. You can mix Olympus specific Good flashes with Canon specific versions, but only in manual mode, either way. Perhaps you should consider the TT685"C" version to get both manual and TTL for your Canon if this is the system you use.
Question:	are the trigger buttons able to be gradual, like for use as a gas pedal and not just simply On or Off
Answer:	It says multi flash provided up to 90 times 100hz. Never used that feature. Also the power at which you shoot if too high may limit the burst. That’s true for most flashes.
Question:	I dont have steam. How would i use this controller
Answer:	You would need to use Godox Wireless Flash Trigger for Olympus on camera to do that
Question:	Will this controller be detected properly in steam
Answer:	It works in TTL mode with my Panasonic G5 and FZ-300 as well as my Olympus OM-D E-M10. I see no reason why it would not work with a GH4. By the way, it's a really compact, versatile flash. I love mine.
