- Опубліковано 29 чер 2024
- If you are in the market for a new Xbox controller in this video I compare almost 30 I've tested and reviewed over the last 4 years and give you my hand picks in 3 price points. A lot of the entry and mid range are wired pro controllers, and I'll explain why that is in this video. I will also touch on warranties, stick drift, features, customizability, and building your own gamepad.

For someone that literally has controllers mounted around his house like family photos, you sure do deserve a bigger audience. This is quality content.
lol, thank you Epoch
Definitely tell your friends about this chsnnel
I've gotta make a wall display for all of mine. Currently I'm using some two tier acrylic displays perch above the TV on a shelf. Looks good but not exactly what I want.
I straight up have been looking for a controller video for a couple of hours on and off. Saw your wall in the thumbnail and said....yeah, this is the guy lmao.
As mentioned on social media last night it should have been a 31-way shootout not a 28, as I forgot to bring out the Nacon Revolution X, Nacon Pro Compact, and Cinch Custom. I have dedicated reviews for both Nacon linked at the bottom of this comment, and this pinned comment explains how the controllers fit into this comparison.
These controllers may have RIG in the title which is Nacon’s newest branch of gaming peripherals. They are both wired and have Dolby Atmos virtual surround support from the 3.5mm headphone jack AND a subscription/activation to Dolby Access (a $15 value) on PC and Xbox consoles to be able to use them. Keep in mind this won’t sound as good as native Dolby supported headphones, soundbars, surround, etc..but it DOES sound very good as seen/heard in both my reviews. In North America Nacon has a 1 year warranty, but every other region gets 2 years.
The Pro Compact is physically small, which is good it you have tiny hands but even if you have average/medium hands it is still pretty comfortable due to having full size thumb sticks with anti-friction rings, and oversized face buttons which I LOVED due to being big and flat. Mini retails for $50 but is only $30 only Amazon currently depending on which of the 3 color you choose. If you need a cheap controller this is a good option, however it has a permanently attached 9.8 foot cable and isn’t as comfortable (for me) as almost all of it’s competition.
The Revolution X is still its launch price of $100 in white or black but goes on sale occasionally, and was $80 during my initial review. As for the cons slippery included thumb sticks, slick plastic shell with no rubber grips, a weird bumper design, and no trigger stops or smart/digital triggers, an expected staple of a $100 pro controller. On the positive this gamepad has 4 comfy rear buttons sunken into the rear shell flush you can map on the fly, the thumb sticks performed good in gamepad tester and have anti friction rings like its cheaper mini brother, the application on PC was quite good, and the Dpad and face buttons are large and clicky. A decent option at $100 however it feels and looks pretty cheap despite controllable RGB around the thumb sticks and I wouldn’t recommend it over the ThrustMaster Eswap X in the mid tier.
I didn't recommend the PS5 Dualsense from Cinch Customs and the Xbox offering is no different. Their Xbox pre builts when they do have some in stock vary from $190 for no rear paddles (how, just how), $230 for a 2 rear button, and $330 for a 4 rear button (without a remap chip, again very overpriced). The controller builder on mobile phone is terrible to navigate, PC works better but is cosmetically ugly while creating a controller with VERY LIMITED options and parts. $182 for just 4 rear buttons on a stock black looking controller, and there is no remap chip available just like Aim so you are stuck with static rear button mappings you select in the builder. Build time is 6-8 weeks or 1-3 weeks for $30, and you only recieve a 30 day warranty or extend it to a still short 6 months for $30. On top of being overpriced, not having as much customization, a fairly long build time and short warranty, my biggest complaint is Cinch puts their 4 rear buttons stupidly close to each other, even if you are covering all 4 rears with just your middle fingers it feels like you are covering 2 buttons because they are so darn cramped. As with PS, for Xbox Cinch is at the bottom of the custom controller recommendation list.

But the sticks have 100% accuracy. Its the best controller I’ve used as far as accuracy goes. Eswap s is good too, but i went through 4 in a month due to some sort of technical issue they seem to have where the thumb sticks intermittently lose connection with the rest of the controller, so i finally gave up on it.
Bought the Nacon Revolution X a few days ago, it arrived yesterday. I was excited to open it up and test it out, was disappointed at the size. I have average size man-hands, and the controller is just uncomfortably large. Like, width-wise, I feel like it's built for longer fingers than mine. And the rear buttons (paddle spots) were just uncomfortable.
Please pin your comment. It's very important, and it's getting buried.
The video we have all been waiting for
Always appreciate the stats and humor with the content. This is a lot of great info thank you Sir Kevin👍🔥
Right on
Dude, you just blew me away !!
THE VERY BEST Video on Xbox PRO Controllers. PERIOD!!
Thank you so much
I appreciate you taking the time to test all of these controllers. I got really bad stick drift on my series x controller and need a replacement. I couldn't get myself to spend over $200 on a aim and the discount code minimum is a joke($259 or above to use). Getting a elite series 2 with extended warranty based on your video!
Starting with this video and now watching it 5 hours later after my xbox controller journey its crazy how much of it i can actually comprehend now. Thanks for all the information you put out.
My pleasure
Very interesting and informative post. Thank you and stay healthy.
Great info! Thanks for sharing
Eagerly waiting for you to get your hands on that nifty Vader 3 and Vader 3 Pro!
Extremely helpful controller info. Thank you for the clarification of all these controllers.
Glad it was helpful!
@@GamerHeavenOfficial
I've been saving my money I've been trying to find the best controller for my xbox series x, I play apex legends and fortnight most of the time.
Great video. Needed some alternatives since I’ve got three OEM Xbox controllers that got stuck drift.
Important note: Scuf bumped up the warranties for the Instincts and Reflexes to a year. This also affects any controllers purchased after January.
Currently trying to decide between scuf and hex, thanks for the video!
This was really helpful, I have the Razor Wolverine V2 Chroma and I like it but looking to see if I should buy something different
You have a sick place, dude. Thanks for the video!
Thank you, and you are welcome.
Awesome video. Disagree on the Elite 2 as one of the best controllers due to durability. They break, which is why I'm here.
Fair enough!
Fr same 🤣
I've got 2 elite 2's and both have been alive and well since release day they get quite a bit of use as well at least until I got the 8bitdo ultimate best PC compatible controller on earth imo perfect for my Tony hands
I appreciate your hard work,and dedication bruh.I gotta subscribe 🙏🏾💯
Sweet
Been a very interesting watch, this peasant is using a powerA spectra infinity which I've had for less than a month(before that a turtle beach react r). Next is gamesir g7 se. All your recommendations which iam happy with. Thanks for sharing... "👍"...
You are very welcome. Glad you enjoyed
Such a FIRE video with a great breakdown. Cant wait for the "build your own" video.
Coming soon!
Nice to see a good overview of your x box controller reviews.
How about a pick or two for folks with larger than XXL gloves rather disappointed that you have not done shows that cover extra large hands as well as one for folks with extra small hands.
The controller content in this video is GOLD
Amazing video as always! Currently considering the razer wolverine v2 (not chroma). I dont really care about rear buttons or wireless, so I think they might be the best for me given my preferences.
Ottimo , ne uso uno da tempo 🎉
@@user-ze8ic1bo4wChroma has full control access to deadzone settings
A truly fantastic breakdown, thanks! I would like to know where you rank the “standard” SX controller (and it’s many variants, like the aqua and stellar shift) among all the other 3rd party options.
My pleasure MushDog, honestly my Xbox vs PlayStation controllers video probably summarizes my thoughts on a stock pad the best 🙂

This was great thank you! Is there a best play station controller video too?
Ak40kevin the LEGEND always putting out entertaining yet useful controller videos keep it up bro I'm rocking a customized g7se it's perfect 😂
0:54 you did your job! Video done! Found the perfect controller in under a minute! Gimmie that WINNIE-THE-POOH controller! 😅🤣😎👌🏻
I quite like my 8bitdo sn30 pro+ and I've been wanting to get the ultimate xbox version! I like the Dpads. 👍🏻 might look into some others you showed. Great overview, man!
Good ol Winnie . Glad you liked it brother
Definitely would like tutorials on building your own controller and swapping to hall effect sticks and maybe adding back buttons to a ps4 controller
I have had the fusion pro original for a while now and very much enjoy it and it's stood up to the test of time. Maybe I'm just a cheap date but I would buy it again at its price point lmao .....either way love your content man keep it coming
Wow its crazy that you reviewed the Power A. Got my first one from gamestop maybe 3 years ago. My first one gave issues then I went to Gamestop and they gave me the newer v2 controller. I say you get what you pay. A great controller but yes the paddles do become an issue after a while! I need to try the 3rd version now!
Great video, as always. Love your content. I do think you have it backwards, though -- regarding the Elite II units sold, and quality control issues. The reason such a high number have been sold (aside from being Microsoft's official top-tier controller, and its prevalence/stock in brick-and-mortar) was the "quality control" (strategic obsolescence, in my opinion...) issues. I had an Elite I for 1.5 years before I needed a replacement (well cared-for). When I "upgraded" to an Elite II, it lasted me 2 months. Warranty swapped for a brand new one - 3 months. Endless issues with stick-drift and non-responsive bumpers. Gave up on them awhile back. Hope the rumors of their improvement are true..
I’m sorry to hear you’ve had such a rough run with the elites. I’ve had my OG series 2 for almost 3 years
@@GamerHeavenOfficialYou said their QC is getting better. Sounds like the older ones were better and QC is getting worse? I wanted to go out and pick one up today. But now I'm nervous to.
Will be picking up my ThrustMaster eSwap Pro S later today. Looking forward to some Warzone action using NXG mini sticks.
Awesome video 💯💯. I watched your video on the GS G7 and then the one on the GS G7 SE. And was at crossroads which one to get but this video made up my mind GameSir G7 it shall be. Controllers are expensive where I live so I'll have to care it so doesn't get stick drift quickly.
Right on, I hope the G7 works out great for you for a long time.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial it's good feels amazing by the way no lies told. Only issue I had Is the stick felt differently than what I was used to. Especially when playing cod. So I had to play around with the stick dead zone.
@@Direalest are the Sticks a little bit looser?
Hey dude, love your video's, so consider me a subscriber! Is that an Ikea board behind you? And how do you mount your controllers to it? I have a decent collection of controllers lying around, would be nice to mount them behind my monitor. Keep up the good work!
Since my first Xbox One until my Series X, i actually had 8 (!) original Xbox Controllers turned into Stick Drift within a few months. It was always the left analog stick (used for running). So i was very happy to hear about the Gamesir G7 SE, the first Xbox Controller with Hall Sensor joysticks. And i really don't get why even premium Xbox Controllers still don't have this. Potentiometers are the weak spot of any controller, soon or later.
Such a cute doggy! Problem with a lot of modified xbox controller is that the standard xbox controllers don't use low friction rings.
I’ll tell her you said that
Awesome review video!!! I've had Scuf PS4 Infinity Pro and a Scuf Intinct as well. Both had issues with paddles not working, and both ended up with stick drift!! So after many returns to Scuf I'd had enough, I no longer wanted to pay top price for a Scuf which quite frankly, aren't worth the money. So after watching this video I can now say i am the owner of a Gamesir G7! And honestly, I love it! For the price, it's incredible and just as good as my Scuf Instinct. No more expensive controllers for me.
The g7 aim Becuz of Hall effect sticks is terrible for fps completely disagree…
Great video.
Dude much appreciated!
No problem friend
hey gamer heaven love the content for controllers i was wondering if you'd be doing a scuf envision review soon my birthday is on the 21st and was gonna get either the Xbox Elite 2 or the scuf instinct but saw the envision and wanted more feedback on it before making my choice haha
Thank you for your big review i really love it and come watch it many time when buying new controller but my problem is that every controller have bought with rear button, the rear button alway broke in like 1 year. I’ve tried 2 razer wolverine tournament edition but they broke, 2 elite controller and same for them, rear button broke after several month, so my question is which controller is the thoughest for durability ? Thank you again for your content !
Amazing video as always! 1 minor correction for anyone interested the eSwap S is only $129 on their site. I think it’s mentioned being more expensive than the X in the video. However, I’m currently fighting with support about honoring the 2 year warranty on mine.
Fantastic video. I was hoping for some advice. I have larger than average hands, and I find the stock xbox series x controller not nearly as comfortable as the larger xbox 360 controllers. Can you recommend some type of add on grip, or wrap, or something to that effect that would bulk the controller up in a meaningful way? I see various different types of grips on amazon, but it's plastered with so many different one's it's hard to tell what one might be best.
I loved this video. As a long time gamer since the Atari era I really enjoyed it. But for Brazilians customers like me it's almost impossible to have access to half of the brands. We stay at the low side, budget controllers. For us Gamesir pads is the way to go. Cheap, well built, comfortable, very durable. You can't go wrong with them. I wish there were wireless.
And I will keep asking for this until u do: a review on the Flydigi Vader 3 pro. If you manage to get the Green One Piece coat, even better.
Hey brother. Glad you enjoyed. That’s trash about the market over there in Brazil 🇧🇷. I swear I’ll be reviewing that controller within 2 weeks
Great content.. new sub here!!!🎉🎉🎉
Welcome!!
In the process of getting a Hex, but I recently got the Powera Fusion 3 and it has been excellent. The rear buttons are made for people with smaller hands and its been the most comfortable controller, even more so than stock XSX one. Dont sleep on it
Fusion 3 was amazing, had absolutely no issues besides the cable giving out, i had to swap it out for a stock XBX controller, but i’m tired of having to put batteries in it and i have no job at the moment so i can’t get a play and charge kit, got an Elite Series 2, the x button is stuck so i’m gonna keep using that until the button stops working and then i’ll replace the series 2 with protection plans until they come out with the series 3 or i get a good elite series 2 batch
This video left me more confused than ever but definitely chock full of good info. I want a custom with HE sticks and increased right-stick resistance options...checked Aim, Hyper, Scuff, etc...don't see any with that particular combo.
Thanks dude you earned a sub
Thanks for the sub!
nice video, i think im gonna gonna go with the gamesir g7 for my pc, will there be a best playstation controller video like this one?
On my third elite now, and when you get a good one it’s a fantastic controller. And if you don’t, at least Microsoft sends you a replacement within a month (in my experience).
If they offered Hall effect sensors on their controllers in the future, I would be tempted to spend some of these outrageous prices you see in the controller market nowadays
They are a business, their goal is to make money not hard to break controllers
@@FERTUHG people eventually stop buying a product if it always breaks. you actually make MORE sales if consumers WANT to buy your product.
I got one of their custom Design Lab built Elite Series 2 controllers and had to exchange it 3 times, finally ending up with a refund on the 4th send back due to partially unresponsive A/Y buttons. I actually think this one (not stick drift, bumpers, etc.) is an actual design flaw with the controller that maybe a lot of folks just don't notice?
Big sadge though, the controller is otherwise nigh perfect?
I think I'm on my 10th...maybe even more? elite series 2. They tend to reach a point where they become unusable for one reason or another at around 3 months for me. The longest one lasted me was maybe 6 months, and it was the white 'core' version. I only have to pay about $50 Everytime I need a new one thanks to Best buys insurance, I know I could just go through the manufacturer warranty when they break, but 50 dollars isn't a lot of money for me especially since I can get a brand new one the same day the last one breaks. I do use plenty of other controllers for specific use cases, but the elite 2 is my daily driver. I think I might try that new turtle beach controller instead next time my elite 2 breaks though.
just something i can share as my experience with the elite series 2, it came out the box with stick drift and the bumpers would double input sometimes.
Good video 👌 I myself am 40 years old and have just taken up gaming again on Xbox. Damn I've missed a lot in the gaming world 🤣 But it will be an Elite 2 control.
16:56 "Screw the racing suit and the full face helmet. Take off the gauntlets. Just use this controller " Bars 🔥 Hendrick Lamar😂👌🏼
Mindblowing infogasmic thorrough review/comparison, btw. 👏🏼 you've helped SOo many people.
lol 😂 it just came out
Thank you Leddius. I appreciate the compliment
Best game pad reviews hands down! Im surprised you didnt mention the nacon revolution x. Just picked one up on prime day for 60$ and wow what an amazing controller! The software is really good and the thumb sticks are buttery smooth.
Thanks
I've had my Nacon RIG Revolution X Pro for over 1.5 years playing at least 4-6 hours a day and the sticks are still working excellent compared to my Xbox elite series 2 stick had stick drift in three months along with all my other big-name brands like Razor Wolverine, Scuff etc. are all garbage do to the analog outdated sticks they use.
The Nacon RIG Revolution X has been very solid and truly the best one ever for durability and no stick drift. FYI, they did just come out with a new one that has hall effect sticks. I think my "RIG" version has them, that's why its lasted this long, someone said to get the one that says RIG because they thought that one has the hall effect sticks.
The only thing I wish they would have updated on the new one was to make the body closer size Xbox controller and update the back paddle buttons on the handle so you can click the rear ones easier.
Thanks for this. What controller would you recommend for street fighter 6 on xboxsx?
I’ve used the Elite Series 2 rear paddles and they made my index and middle fingers numb. It’s almost like starting carpal tunnel syndrome. Then I played without using them and I could game again. Would rear buttons help solve the issue of losing that feeling with the paddles? I mostly play FPS games and thought maybe the 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth or Pro 2 might be a good replacement. But they only have 2 buttons 😕
42:35 nah, man. I have had 4 and they all developed double clicking bumpers (my current one even has a double clicking A button) after 3-4 weeks. You can easily test this by pressing and sliding over the bumpers, they pretty much turn into rapid fire buttons. Contact cleaner fixes the issue temporarily.
I had never stick drift on the ones I had, though.
Anyway thanks for the video. Prolly picking up one of them Gamesirs or an eSwap. Wish the wireless options would be cheaper... am not dropping 200€+ on a gamepad. lol
Hey mate, cheers for the information still struggling a bit on what to select… the only game I play is Rocket League. I don’t care for back buttons, only use Xbox layout. I go through the standard Xbox controller every 3 - 6 months as the LB button always breaks as I use it for boosting. Any recommendation for durability when it comes to this in the Xbox range?
I recently picked up the Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro as well as the Gamesir T4 Kaleid. I'm using them as PC X-box controllers on Steam. I like both of them quite a bit....maybe the T4 the most. The Gulikit feels higher quality and more solid, plus those triggers are the smoothest I've ever felt, but the T4 has better touch on all the other buttons. The thing I don't like about both of them is the View button is placed badly. You can't really hit it without bumping the left thumbstick. One of the biggest reasons I got the T4 was so I could remap a rear button to the View button.
Hi GamerHeaven thank you for recommending the Gamesir G7 SE controller because I am looking to buys a controller with hall effect thumbsticks, because stick drift is a bit of a problem for me. Had problems with stick drift with controllers in the past.
I absolutely love the elite series 2/core controller; my original series 2 lasted 2 years and through a move from VA to GA, then out of nowhere it popped a huge amount of stickdrift. Then I got a series 2 core and have had it almost 2 years and no sign of stick drift (i use the accessories from my original series 2) If you get lucky (Q&C is getting better) and get a good one it'll last a long time
I really need your advice because I am confused between buying the SCUF Instinct Pro or buying the Thrustmaster ESWAP S and I can afford both of them but I just don’t know which one is better
you forget the Revolution X Pro Controller? Your review for that controller was glowing
Yes 🤦♂️, I just made a post about it
❤ the vid, I wish the battle beaver would up their customer service, their warranty and lower their price. These simple changes would surely push ut too the top? spot
you ever think of reviewing a sterling wheel? that Logitech Pro G with 11nm and True Force seems like it would be up your reviewing alley 😂 it's nice real nice would love to see you review it. But it's pricey so I understand if you don't but I think you could definitely make a entertaining video with that. take care and have a great day.
Hey 👋. I reviewed 3 wheels on the channel in the past, no Logitech but that IS coming along with more racing sim content 🙂
@@GamerHeavenOfficial nice 👌 👍 👏. you definitely make good content. you definitely have a presents for the camera. just remember only keeping doing it if it scratches that creative ich and helps put you in a better mental state as soon as it doesn't back away do it all on your terms for others to enjoy don't feel obligated by comments and a UA-cam algorithm that gets unhealthy quick. Anyway you don't need me to tell you that but it's also good to get positive feedback on your ridiculous shit that way you know it's working 😜 take care and have a great day.
Man the fact that none of the high tier controllers come with hall effect sticks just seems insane to me.
There are 2 companies working on such an option for their builder right now, let’s keep that between us gOGgy
@@GamerHeavenOfficialany news on this? In the market, but I’ll wait if necessary.
Is the polling rate on Xbox Series X limited? I’m trying to figure out if the controller speed matters or not. Was looking at the GameSir G7 SE and wondering if you can take advantage of the 1000hz on Xbox
Not to mention the elite's are easy to resell if needed so good investment too.
Times got hard and I needed to keep the electric on and yes I Contemplated it but when you have kids these things can happen.
Point is it sold within minutes and sold it for more than I purchased it for.👍
Yoda I was waiting for you to watch and comment. That is a very good point, I actually ended up selling my old elite. A pro controller is not a priority over electricity in the house
@@GamerHeavenOfficial 👊😎
I wish the t4 kaleid was an option for yall but im getting a pc soon so I'll gladly be picking one up
These controllers are amazing, and if money was no object I'd snag 5 of em. But with my gamesir se hall effect wired controller do to arrive any day now. I don't think I'm buying anything without halleffect sticks ever again.
My elite controller just went in on me 😮💨 thanks bro bro
What'd you replace it with? My 5 year old scuf is finally giving out on me. And the prices have gotten a little silly.
@upthecreekyt I got a new one from Microsoft, but I customized them so they would be okay. Try to check the sight and see if you can customize it.
What do you guys think about the gamesir g7 se for someone who wanna play fortnite as competitive using a controller? Unfortunately, the controllers with triggers stop are out of my budget.
ok Im here because my elite v2 bumpers need to be re-soldered. my regular Xbox core controller had the bumper plastic contact piece break that pushed the button on the board. I superglued it for the time being. I just want to know which one will last the longest. I'm leaning towards the Hypr Controller so far. I play rocket league. I don't need extra buttons, but the bumper quality is important to me. Any recommends?
Gamestop once had the gambit on sale for $40. Got one and for that price is really good.
Damn that’s an insane deal !
I have two Elite cores that I got from verizon when they had them for $65. Neither of them have stick drift. But the way they come in the box doesnt surprise me that yours did. They should be secured with a foam mold.
i am looking into getting a xbox aimcontroler for my pc but i only can find the old reviews not any that are for the xbox series x version. are you going to make a update review any time soon?
Dude the young Jonah hill clip was goated. 🤣
On the hypr controller website I saw they added the magnetic holfect sensors for the thumb sticks
I just got the Instinct Pro last week after exchanging about 12 Elite Series 2 that all had stick drift out of the box and I absolutely love it. It's definitely overpriced though. It should be around $150 in my opinion. Although it's quite expensive, I'm definitely digging it more than the Elite Series 2 overall. Also, there was a card in the box that said the warranty was increased to a full year instead of 6 months. Definitely consider this controller if you have no problem dropping $210 on a controller.
Jesus Christ that’s so many elites 😂. I shouldn’t laugh, that’s terrible that that happened. I’m glad you have moved to greener and more reliable pastures
Yeah the elite 2 is still horrible I hope they redeem themselves with the third addition with bumpers that work and hall effect joysticks
@@n64slayer fr my custom one from Microsoft design lab the right bumper began doing a double input when I clicked it once and now recently my left one it doesn’t do an input when I click it sometimes and my A button is starting to act up a little. I’m going to wait for the elite 3 to see if they fixed quality control and stuff and if not I’m going to consider getting a scuf and maybe by then scuf will make a new version of their Xbox controller so that you can have the ability to click all 4 back paddles at once and not this rolling your middle finger thing lmao
@@Precise_Ant76 do u play on pc or xbox?
@@n64slayer I currently play on Xbox but I’m saving up for a pc and going to get the components for it and build it myself :3
Unrelated to the controller stuff but the voice you do around the 42:48 mark of the video is really funny/different from your own voice, not many people can do that. Have you ever considered doing any voice acting work?
In your opinions what controller for xbox playing on console so i can't overclock is best. I enjoy the elite series 2 but was wondering if theres better options. I enjoy the thrustmaster but hate the back button design. Ive hear the victrix is pretty good along with the scuf instinct but heard the scuf is costy and the back buttons suck but triggers are amazing. Then theres the razer v2 or v1. Unless theres any other
I've got the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma Xbox controller and it's the most comfortable thing I've ever used even considering the back buttons. I actually think they're better because I'm not using the kung-fu grip anymore. The extra bumpers are a huge plus too. I liked it so much that I sold a kidney and bought the PS5 version too.
I play a lot of Elder Scrolls Online on PC so having 6 extra buttons instead of 4 makes it perfect for it.
Definitely my go to controller
I lucked upon a gamestop pre-owned razer wolverine v2 chrome mislabeled for 60$. I wish it was wireless. I don't play shooters, but that dpad feels perfect for fighting games. I've been contemplating the ps5 version because it is wireless but that price is insane
What are the best ones which have the tall thumbsticks though because I don't really want to consider any that don't? I already have a Victrix Gambit that I'm probably going to use first anyway
How do you feel about the Gamesir T4 Kaleid vs the Gamesir G7 Wired? EDIT: I just watched your review on the T4 Kaleid. You answered all my questions; this is what I'm going to get! Looks like a great controller especially for the price!
Hey 👋🏾 gotta a question what you say is the best controller for gaming with no extra buttons because I like crawl trigger stops I don’t mind having tho and money is no problem
I bought a GameSir G7 SE as my first controller after watching this! Thank you! 🫡
I actually have both the Advance and Ultra X from HexGaming. Both great controllers, though I actually prefer the Ultra X for its extra features and I actually don't mind the rear button placement (seeing as I use 2 rear buttons most of the time, but I can still reach the other 2 buttons with my middle fingers if need be). I built the Advance through their site and I really like how it turned out, but my only gripe is the lack of friction rings for the thumbsticks.
So far im liking the Hyperkin Xenon more than any other controller. Wired doesn't bother me in the slightest, and it feels awesome.
It is a great controller. Check out my review of it if you haven’t already seen it
@@GamerHeavenOfficial I have! It was a good review! I did pick up the white though, idk i just like it haha (though im finding i might be one of few haha)
The power A fusion pro 3 is the best pro controller i have ever used for xbox even down to the latency, nothing beats it imo and ive been through some controllers.
Bought the turtle beach recon kept turning off after 3 weeks, so I’m stuck between the Victrix gambit or the razer wolverine v2 chroma, which one shall I get? Or any other recommendations I’m on Xbox series X
My problem with the elite series 1 (I had 2-3) was the rubber grips kept peeling off after a year or so. I recently got a scuff instinct pro and I love it so far. I will probably get an elite series 3 whenever those come out, but probably 6 months to a year after a launch. Aka, when they get done beta testing
what controller would you recommend for someone who loves the xbox style controller, but wants to be able to overclock said controller on pc?
Was unboxing G7 se while watching. Pairing it with the KF ps lotus grips once they come
I have the g7 se and xbox Kontrol Freaks don't fit. I think I'm gonna swap the right stick for an xbox thumbstick if it fits
@@smash910 I watched his non se g7 video luckily before ordering. They seem exactly the same on analog stick size. To bad kf is so minimal with switch. Those seem to be best fitting on these controllers. I would try the same if I had extra xb sticks, good luck🤞
@@RainWalker24c I don't have extra xbox sticks, I'm thinking of ordering some from ebay for like £3/$3
Could you recommend me a controller with 'clicky' face buttons with a more traditional xbox shell design (preferably wireless as well)? I managed to borrow a Razer Chroma v2 for a few days and the buttons were such a joy to use, they instantly got me hooked. But I just can't get used to the shape. it's the only controller I've ever held that actually made my hands cramp up. It seems like Battle Beaver is my only option but It's pretty hard finding any information about how those buttons sound and feel. I'd really like to know how they stack up to the Razer buttons but it seems like most Battle Beaver reviewers skip over tactile buttons.
My Elite 2 has been horrible.
Thankfully I have it insured, I had it replaced at 9 months due to broken paddle buttons,
the replacement has had to have the RB repaired THREE TIMES.
One of my friends has the same issue with his RB
Was gonna get the wolverine v2 chroma, but he really was right cause I went on, to check out the elite series 2, and that shit really was on sale and was cheaper than the v2 chrome
Hey gamerheaven. I wanted to ask about Xbox controllers on pc.. I know the pc latency is a concern due to the hard lock polling you mention. I was curious tho can 3rd party like battle beaver or scuf fix that? For example I know Hal and TSM for apex legends on pc all use Xbox controllers. Maybe it’s a they don’t know or what but I was curious your thoughts
Now thinking about it an absolute ton of the apex pros use Xbox controllers from scuf and battlebeaver. Never knew why where cod is solely ps
I poked around the Scuf site a bit. The Instinct Pro is now $273, and that's without the case.
