    I just bought the wired pdp afterglow you reviewed a while ago. My kid is happy and The RGB options are Nice to look at. He says i works just fine and it saved me about 250 sek. (25 Dollars)

    Hello. Thank you for the video. I would like to ask you why many still recommend the Xbox Series X controller for use on a PC? They say that it does not conflict with any games and there are no problems with drivers. Are there any problems with GameSir, Hyperx Clutch Gladiate, PowerA controllers?
    If the difference is only $10, what do you recommend to get? Xbox x controller or Hyperx Clutch Gladiate & GameSir?

    • @RedBandanaGaming

      As long as it's officially licensed by Xbox, you should not have any issues and they should work just as well as any first party contrler.
      I can't say anything about the HyperX, because I can't seem to get my hands on one. Every time I try, they are unavailable for some reason. Sorry about that.

    I had 2 of the stealth ultra. The build quality feels nice and loved it. Both of them had the same breaking point. The right trigger broke on both of them 3 months in. Suddenly the trigger felt mushy and i found out the the right trigger came out of alignment. A plastic tap on the left side of the trigger broke and had the trigger leaning to the right side and on top of that because it came out of aligntment the right bumper was getting squeezed. I returned the last one and got my money back. Now im waiting on the digifly vader 3 pro. Just a warning for potentiel buyers

    I'm looking for a wireless controller that can quickly switch between Xbox and PC. Given how a lot of these 3rd party ones come with their own dongle, it seems that the only realistic way to switch the device is to unplug the dongle from one device and plug it into the next. Manually switching dongles is a dealbreaker, as it's quite a hassle to go around the TV furniture where my devices' USB slots reside and tinker back there.
    The official Xbox Series X can indeed switch with just a tap of the button, but this only works if the other connection is Bluetooth. This is very inconvenient, because the wireless dongle for Windows can't be used, but the dongle is the one that provides the most reliable connection rather than the bluetooth. The other issue is that the D-pad is way too noisy and clicky for my tastes.

    You see, hall effects aren't game changing. They can still develop stick drift, but it's less likely. And just the overall quality of controllers that have hall effect don't feel as nice as something as an elite controller like scuf instinct pro. I have a gamesir controller and no matter how much I calibrated it, I still get stick drift. And yes, I updated it. But recently, I switched from the scuf instinct pro to the ps5 dualsense edge and I love it. And just the concept of being able to swap out thumbstick modules is great. But hopefully in the future there will be actual joystick modules that are ACTUALLY immune to stick drift. Until then, in my opinion right now hall effect controllers are not worth it UNLESS you get stick drift REALLY OFTEN.

    Speaking only wireless controllers, I feel that you missed the mark. The Victrix Pro BFG seems like the better option. It’s $20 cheaper and has better features over all. There are currently no replacement or Hall effect modules for the BFG but those are supposed to drop sometime this month. The ability to switch up your layout, switch out the right side thumbstick module for a fightpad, and their innovative clutch triggers make this my top pick of all the custom/modded/pro style controllers that I own.

    Xbox elite core 2 red & white. Microsoft standard lunar shift edition. PowerA enhanced wired green hint. Thrustmaster eSwap S pro controller. PDP afterglow wave wired. Razer wolverine V2 wired. RiG nacon revolution pro X. Snakebyte base X black. The best so far is the snakebyte base x, and then the razer wolverine v2. No drift whatsoever.
    The PowerA used to play awesome, but it developed small drift to the right stick.
    Also, the PDP plays well, but no where near the Snakebyte.
    I AM NEVER GOING to purchase a nacon RiG controller again!
    Right stick raised unbarable drift within 2 weeks of gaming. Returned it back and i am waiting to get anew one.
    But the worst gampepads i own are the 2 elite core 2 & the standard microsoft!!
    SO, verdict:
    BEST for my gaming is the Snakebyte base x, i have nothing to argue about it, its awesome out of the box.!

      @maikelstapper4347 I think too many reviewers are too obsessed with hall effect modules. I think they still have a long way to go before they become the must have on a controller 🤔 stick feel ease of use and comfort are way more important. Plus I hate stick caps no wonder these guys get stick drift 🙄
