About this tag
The tmr joysticks tag collects WindowsForum.com coverage of controllers built around TMR (tunneling magnetoresistance) analog sticks, with a focus on how those sticks behave on Windows PCs. The tagged thread looks at 8BitDo's Ultimate 3 Controller for Xbox in its Lavender Dusk colorway, which shipped across Europe with TMR sticks and an officially licensed Xbox layout.
