Gemini Yamaha Motorsport Controller

very disappointing, loved playing Moto GP , WSB, with this controller BUT the controller failed with in a few hours of play loosing all functions after turning Right , Although It was replaced by the supplier the 2nd one also failed with in a few hours of play (L Brake lever did not work)

This is one of the very few motorcycle-specific controllers on the market, and it plain doesn't work like it should. The steering is adjustable but just never feels right, and the control levers have virtually no resistance. The instruction manual is poorly translated, and the whole thing just feels badly done. It's a shame; the styling of the unit is cool, and the headlights light up when you turn the system on. But this just isn't the solution for your motorbike gaming needs, which is a shame, because there really isn't an alternative.

While this controller wasn't compatible with several of my motorcycle-based games it does appear to be constructed from quality materials and works as advertised. Economical and good value for the $$$ paid. A good addition to my arsenal.

Works perfectly on PS4 with Brooks PS2 adapter. I would rather have the Thrustmaster version, but that's pretty impossible to find. For what it is it does make dirt bike, motorcycle racing more immersive.

Handlebars don't work

Honestly, I should give this controller zero stars. But I did order and receive item, It looks really cool (I'm a Yamaha fan), can be connected/used on 3 different consoles...but if a controller functions poorly...making nearly impossible to use...how can I rate it? So, based on looks, and love of a motorcycle product...I gave it 2 stars.Currently my controller is still working. But let me describe what "working" means. It connects fine, lights up, and input on the controller does move the bike in the game. But, it is sluggish...lagging. You steer left to turn into the corner, and...wait..until...there it is..it starts turning. You can adjust the steering sensitivity to try and fine-tune the inputs, to try and tighten the steering. I've tried all the optional mapping variations but still feels sluggish and off. Which is not what you want in a motorcycle game. The levers which controls the braking are ok. Feels like they are all or nothing inputs...instead of matching the more you pull the lever, the more braking is applied. Also, this mock up of the controller must be for a scooter, as the clutch lever is used as a brake lever. (Front and rear brake levers)Also, no option to be a motorcycle controller...no realistic bike inputs (counter steering - push the left bar forward to steer left or push bar right bar forward to steer right) But I get it. It's intended as a controller for motorcycles, ATV, watercraft, snowmobiles. So it's set up to steer like a car.This sucks, because there are no real other bike controllers out there. I was so hoping to leeeeean in every corner, and really feel like I'm really pushing my bike to the limit. Instead, no. This has become more of a collection piece rather than an actual functioning/daily motorcycle game controller for me.

12/2021 - I was a little harsh on my earlier version of this review last year so it is a unique lil product, and getting more and more used to it by the day it's actually decent, and in ways the build quality is much better than the Thrustmaster Freestyler Bike. I bought this for some arcade bike games to emulate on my PC, using the Brook PS2-to-PC/PS4 Super Converter, and the build quality/design is okay, though the mounting of the handlebar leaves much to be desired.The thing is, the base used on this controller is the same one from a lot of those 3rd-party PS2 wheels made in China, so naturally the suction cup mounting isn't the best in the world as there is very small clearance between the suction cups and the hump on the front of the wheel. If I lube the cups with soap, it actually sticks decently to my desk, but for some reason if I leave the bars they will soon begin to collapse on the floor. Be careful and keep this in mind when you purchase one.I have a table clamp mount that was made for this bike controller but it is virtually non-sturdy. It falls off in a matter of seconds. Maybe the clamp I bought was for a newer model, as I now have a seemingly older model that does not make a clicking noise when you twist the throttle, unlike my old model I got rid of.I'll be more fair and say this wheel has some awesome settings where you can adjust the sensitivity and dead zone, and definitely makes motorcycle games a lot more fun. I've personally modded mine to play one of my arcade PCBs at home, but it's really not that bad of a controller for what it is; it would easily get a 4 star if I could figure out a way to have the suction cups more or less stick forever on most tables. The clamp I have for it is almost useless by itself.If you can find one for $60 and under, the Yamaha MS-1 handlebar is very much worth owning and adds realism to your bike games. Stay away from everything else unless you find Thrustmaster Freestyler Bike for cheap.

EXCELENTE!
