AQIRYS THEMIS Gamepad Review

Others/Miscelleneous by stefan @ 2024-08-23

The THEMIS controller feels much better in hand in terms of comfort when compared to the STRATUS DUO we have reviewed quite a bit of time ago; the AQIRYS model has more features, dual-motor vibration to enhance immersion, a six axis motion sensor and a 2-point touchpad for a selection of games, a stereo headset jack with microphone support but also an integrated 1W speaker, used in games where developers have made use of this particular feature.

A Closer Look Part IV

The Face buttons have some interesting pictograms and are easy to access:

 

 

 

In the frontal area of the controller we do have a status light, but also the USB interface for using the controller in wired mode, but also for charging:

 

 

 

 

The left bumper along with the left trigger are placed optimally and are easy to actuate; same goes for the right pair:

 

 

 

 

On the back, we do have a central sticker with the product serial number, the Light button, and the Reset orifice:

 

 

 

The controller handles do feature a grippy texture; here is a closer look at the triggers as well:

 

 

 

 

Before first controller pair, the status LED in the front of the controller will light up; after connecting the dongle to our computer, we will need to keep the small button on the dongle pressed for 3 seconds to place it in pairing mode (the blue LED will blink rapidly on the dongle). Afterwards, we will hold Share and Home button for 3 seconds pressed together on the controller, to set it in pairing mode as well. The pairing will occur very fast and the computer will not see the controller as a BT device, but as a wired Xbox controller in Device Manager, which is great in terms of compatibility!
