As I'm listening back while wrapping up production, I realize this video sounds so "adult" *cough cough* when listening with a certain context in the back of one's mind... That totally was unintentional but I'll happily take pride in that! 😂 HAPPY THANKSGIVING Y'ALL!!
Oohhhh...this is an old controller (model). I'm using it around +-2 years. Good build quality. Still strong. One of my main controllers. Thank you for review. They changed d-pad approach in new controllers like Kunpeng 20 or Kunpeng 40.
They send out old models in order to promote and offload product in stock. The shills just don't tell anyone. Which is why its always heavily positive. They did this a few months ago.
Yeah I realized after the fact lol, thanks to a viewer that left a comment. I have the Kunpeng 20, the 40 should arrive soon. I'll be reviewing the 20 a little later, closer to the official NA launch. Seems like they only soft launched for the time being.
Off topic but I love your hair bro! I just happened to catch your video after watching a couple barber makeovers in a row and think it may be that time again. I am a black man, bushy and graying myself and if I didn't cut my own hair I'd look like your microphone for real! lol
Beitong Zeus 2 elite its a great controller buy not by any means new . It’s about a 3 year old controller. With that being said it’s still a great controller for fps games. And uses the same potentiometer sticks as the rainbow 2 pro controller. So they are very accurate
@ haha I was wondering why I’ve been seeing so many random reviews of this popping up. If they are telling ppl it’s new and sending samples out that is why. Maybe they missed out on the marketing side of things with this controller and they are playing catch up lol
@@ChantelMcclure-c9ckungpen 20 is a newer one but the kungpen 40 is the newest one. Basically a slightly upgraded version of the kp20. The dpad on them are great. The kp40 has adjust stick tension using the same mechanism type as the Vader 4 pro but it uses tmr sticks instead of Hall effect. The only thing about the kp20 the stick latency isn’t the best
Yeah someone brought that to my attention not too long ago. I’d like to reach out to Thrustmaster but I am a quite busy as it is. Maybe in the future, fingers crossed!
Is the Beitong Zeus 2 currently US exclusive? Amazon DE had a store page for it but is now showing an error, and only Aliexpress lists them (but they add like 20-30€ to the total amount since I'm located in Germany). Would love to check out optical buttons as a fighting game player. Mechanical buttons were already an eye-opener
Not to my knowledge, but it's possible that they focus on a market, I found out after posting this video that this controller has been out for about a year. Maybe they sold out and didn't restock in some corners of the world.
My gamesir tarantula pro has a huge issue. When using 2.4 dongle the sprint triggers a dpad left or right input. Please help me. For now razer v3 pro is amazing for me. I love the t3pro but i might have to keep it plugged
@@loitersquadX The fact that it's happening wireless and not wired makes me wonder if somehow your mode put you in and out of different profiles and one needs a wipe or something. Honestly, you may want to reach out to GameSir's customer service and see if they can assist with that, sounds abnormal either way.
@GameTechTalk if you go online to google and reddit more people have the same issue . If u have any update plz lmk. Please bro. Ill try to get it fixed
As a fighting game player I was hoping to hear you'd talk about the d pad. U were awesome. Ty so much. What would you say is best d pad out there in your opinion? Earned my sub. ty again!
Thank you greatly for your support and the kind words! If you want an amazing d-pad on a budget, the BINBOK Ultra Pro came out of nowhere with a phenomenal one. If you only care for d-pad no matter the budget, the Turtle Beach Stealth Pivot is probably my number one d-pad of every controller I currently own, but while it's one of its strength, it has weaknesses to consider as well.
how does it compare to the turtle beach stealth pivot ? i need a controller for games like super meat boy geometry dash , brotato ,hollow knight and this type of game idont play shooters or fighting games
It sounds like you need a d-pad killer controller and the Zeus 2 is really nice, really great. The optical buttons are awesome BUT, in my humble opinion, you'll have a greater advantage at those games with a killer d-pad than you would killer face buttons and if you agree, the Stealth Pivot is the better pick for your game selection. If you play those 2D games with sticks (no judgment here, I do sometimes too), then the Zeus 2 would be my recommendation because you have great sticks, and in that specific case, yes, those optical buttons are OP. That said, I can't speak on latency of neither but both felt great to me in responsiveness (do make sure to update the Zeus 2 if you grab that one).
I'll take note of it, gotta a full schedule at the time being but if CanadaPost remains on strike, I might just have to turn to ideas and yours is a great one. Thanks for the suggestion!
Pricing and questionable design literally killed this controller for me... Still gonna look forward to get some Beitong controllers on sale or something just to fill up my collection and see if their devices are worth it despite mentioned cons
Reviews really need to include how well or not they function with Steam Input. The number of controllers that can’t map inside Steam is ridiculous and an immediate no
The Western World can be such a different market altogether, and the other way around too. Indeed, Beitong is not a familiar name in NA but I guess they are on a mission to change that and if they continue with releases like that, I think they definitely will crack that barrier, as Flydigi and GameSir have, for example.
@GameTechTalk Yes, it really is a shame, because the controller is nice. I don't know if you've seen the Bladepoint edition. I have the white and red version. The edition is beautiful, even the box it comes in, but it was a very bad experience, to be honest. And you're right, the controller is quite expensive. A hug and greetings from Colombia.
this controller is flawed in its current state in my opinion and with the TMRs and the near link can make it even more premium if they decide to add them in Zeus 3 maybe , i think they are moving very slow in a maket where gamesir is moving faster then all others . and the buttons quality and the quality control they are lacking in that department from the other reviews . the face buttons that is the big highlight in this controller and if they take the swappable modules tech from Mechenike they can become gods basically or a true Zeus lol .
35 ms input lag xinput with dongle , 15 with cable . this is a big deal no wonder why you couldn't aim well , and this is like someone shooting himself in the foot , some parts are premium good others are stright garbage.
"i think they are moving very slow in a maket where gamesir is moving faster then all others" - So I got to be honest here, and this is a massive compliment towards GameSir but they'll never know. I think GameSir can't be a benchmark anymore. Not only do these guys never miss, they have a new controller just about every month. Here's a list of all the controllers they released this year alone: X2s / Nova Lite / Nova / X4 Aileron / G7 HE / Kaleids / G8+ / X2s Bluetooth / X3 Pro / T7 / Tarantula Pro / Cyclone 2 and we already know about the rumors of the G7 Pro. That's literally one controller a month and the crazy thing is each of them were outstanding in their own right, the lowest in the list is the T7 and it's by no means a bad controller, it just is arguably a re-release of a lesser G7 SE. So I've decided to not uphold their competitors to the same pace because I don't see how anyone can to be honest. GameSir is just something else.
Yeah, I ended up checking after someone mentioned the controller was already out for over a year 😅 That would definitely explain why my score was so different, that and the polling rate
@@GameTechTalk i should be surprised that you know their entire lineup, but since you're doing reviews, you know it well better than most, and will take your word for it and the positive reviews on the Internet speak for their products, well it was an amazing year for controllers surprisingly feature packed with top tech like TMR and over that affordable with very good quality!!! They are not just there , they are crushing it!! But it's not by any means that are the only ones making good controllers , it's a market and every untiqe features the other companies have they should improve on that and they will be fine . I noticed many good controllers like this one (Zeus) are already amazing but with big flaws and that's holding them back and they are not fixing it, even latency is visible with Gamepadla now for every one to and we know which company is doing a good work.
@@GameTechTalk i researched this controller before and once you mentioned your score, i knew it has to do with their input lag , but the score with cable proves how they are shooting themselves on the foot, because the sticks are already of high quality, but they didn't care about the lag , and see the lag on the cyclone 2 and the G7s from gamesir , we need that, it's not an insignificant delay, it does make a world of difference, there's something good and something legendary like in video games 😆.
I was testing Zeus 2 a month ago and it's not bad, but very overpriced. Latency in GPDL is okay in wired nothing impressive, wireless I'd say is terrible, with over 20ms on buttons and over 40ms on joysticks and outer deadzone is too high. Metal circular D-Pad is not holding in place very well, plastic quality is very average, it LB and RB are very wobbly, same as plastic part between them, triggers are making strange noises. I don't think that it is worth 100$.
It leans on some great strengths while also balancing less desirable aspects. I think by your post that I ultimately had a better experience than you but I can understand why someone would feel this was overpriced and for the most part, I agree. For me, the D-pad wasn't an issue but a creator friend said the same as you, I wonder if they had batches of not properly magnetized ones, mine holds quite steadily.

Thank you my guy. Not gonna lie, there are days I feel like just putting the clipper in it all, way easier and I'm not even trying that hard! 😅

I’ve had it about a year and a half myself. The special naraka blade point edition
So true I just got the updated Zeus Pro it's awesome I'm waiting for my Beitong kungpen 20 I should have it next week now that's the Newest one 🕹️🎮

the analog sticks look really cozy.
Yeah they kind of massage your thumb while remaining very "rapid" to move around. I like 'em, very unique design
I'm just so proud 🕹️🎮 Gaming at it's best now we talking!!!!!!!
You already know!! 😎
Thrustmaster had a controller you can swap out button modules out a few years ago.

Could you measure the stick’s tension of this controller?
Yup, 60±5 tgf. Cheers

Wow mine is so slow Bluetooth hz 255 or something 😢
Wait, I'm confused. When you L3 click, it triggers a d-pad input but only when using wireless, not wired?
@@GameTechTalk yes. When i play b06. If i sprint , it will press the dpad left or right and it switches to single shot instead of fully auto shooting

any budget controller with macro software ?
Aolion K10 is one that does. It's a mobile app mind you but it does have macro'ing on it.

What program is he using to test the sticks when he’s shooting those balls.
It's called Aimlabs, it's available for free on Steam
Brother please make a video about cyclone 2 vs vadar 4 pro comparison
I'll take note of it, gotta a full schedule at the time being but if CanadaPost remains on strike, I might just have to turn to ideas and yours is a great one. Thanks for the suggestion!
Please do the Zeus Pro it's the yes to all the no's of the 2
I'll see if they wish to provide a sample, thanks!
The pro has over clocking mode 1000hz u can turn it on it stays on
Nice! I think I'll just wait for when they have a Zeus 3 if they want me to review it.
the zeus 2 also has 1000hz polling rate
@shellyfof I just got the new Pxn p5 is awesome 🎮
Did they send you the standard kit or the developer kit for that controller? hahaha
At this point, I don't know?!? Maybe it's a 007 kit to build some massive weapon of destruction... Your guess is as good as mine! 😂
Pricing and questionable design literally killed this controller for me... Still gonna look forward to get some Beitong controllers on sale or something just to fill up my collection and see if their devices are worth it despite mentioned cons
Totally, Beitong is well positioned to make strides with the pace they seem to have. I'm hyped to see how they do over time!
Man I just placed my order on the kk3 max...
Still a great controller, nothing wrong with it for sure!
Reviews really need to include how well or not they function with Steam Input. The number of controllers that can’t map inside Steam is ridiculous and an immediate no
I'll make note of this. Thanks!
this is why I didn't buy it if it doesn't have Hall Effect I'm not buying it
Thanks, if not for your comment, my prediction would have been false! 🤣 Happy BF / CM week-end friend!
First time I heard of this company
They are a Power house I put them at the top of my controller mountain
Very strange...this is one of main players on Chinese market.
The Western World can be such a different market altogether, and the other way around too. Indeed, Beitong is not a familiar name in NA but I guess they are on a mission to change that and if they continue with releases like that, I think they definitely will crack that barrier, as Flydigi and GameSir have, for example.
Don't you see the stick adapters made from plastic? That's BS. They WILL break no matter what.
By adapters, do you mean the small clips that insert in the skirt of the stick?
@@GameTechTalk Yes, those connection nodes.
El peor control que he tenido y eso que compré la versión Bladepoint de Naraka. Nunca me lo detectó el pc, así que solo pude usarlo en la Switch.
I'm sorry to hear that you had this kind of experience. I personally like it but I do find the price to be quite high.
