You should really try this on more of a sim racer like Assetto, as those games are generally less approachable with a normal controller. Games built with controller in mind usually utilize deadzones, not only in the steering, but also the throttle and brake. Assetto corsa won't have those same types of limitations, allowing you to really see the full capability of the controller.
I mean I don't think deadzones were the issue it was totakl range not t9iny precise movements which would only be worse in AC1 as like all race sims their sentivity range is very tight for some dumb reason that they refuse to take two sounds to fix in a patch... So that is why current gen gamepad are hard to use in modern race sims.. which this controller seems so much more limited then a current gen gamepad.. so even with out deadzones extendinbg the range it would be much worse... And Playstaion gamepad have always had a generous range so that control was always pointless.

Totally borked it here😔 Gran Turismo on close up screen will give u the idea of what the controller feed back is. There's a digital graph on screen for you to see is what I mean. 👍
Maybe try playing the games the controller was built for, preferably NFS Most wanted (either version) or GT4/5, or modnation racers if you’re cool (which I know you are!)
Like right? This has to be one of the absolute worst reviews I have ever seen on a unique product. No prior research done (ps3 racing games NEVER used the triggers, in fact almost no games used the triggers for primary functions because they were slippery and shit), half the video spent with showing off where the buttons are, and wiping off rubber reversion, then testing a ps3 controller with dedicated switches for games, with some atrocious PC cart racing battle royal slop (whatever if you like it I'm sure it is great, but is as far from the subject as it gets), and concluding it is not made for this (surprise surprise). And then the last sentence is: "I wonder if this is any better than a racing wheel...". Well that would've been your job to find out, if this was sold as a racing wheel replacement. Of course this was more of a specialized DS3 so the question would have been, is this better than the DS3? But even than, this should've been the first sentence of the review not the last. Like flipping heck. Yeah whatever, I calmed down. Like try it with a PS3 emu and GT3 please. This thing look interesting.
@@zora_techMost Kart games regardless of console don't use analog input for the throttle and break Even modern ones like the newer CTR & TSR don't use analog inputs regardless if you play them on Switch, PC, PS or Xbox
Maybe you should try it with more traditional racing game instead? I'm pretty sure there are some affordable ones on steam especially when there's a sale
Racing wheels are pretty fun and surprisingly cheap secondhand, it's almost like they take up a disproportionate amount of space compared to the number of games you can use them with.
I actually was thinking about a perfect controller for racing games with 3 pedals, a wheel or something like that, probably in the shower, then I remember googling and finding out this having already been done. It's both horrifying and amazing they made it real. Still watching the vid though. Let's see if it actually is functional lol Edit: Oh you're playing a kart racer with it... oh... (after reading some comments, I must clarify, i'm not being critic here, it's just funny) Oh and about the steering wheel, you don't need it for kart racers let me just tell you that LOL
This was my main controller for GT5 back in the day! I loved this thing I don't think the rubber back came off so easily either, but it was a while ago so I don't really remember
Regardless of good or bad, I do miss the era of weird or crappy cheap peripherals. I'm sure there's some still around, but they're not as prevalent or feel as quirky and fun.
I'm kinda amused that I always knew Madcatz as a bad brand, and at some time I got into arcade stick fever, so planned to buy sticks and buttons and shove them in a box or cheap controller until I could graduate into state of art Sanwa and Seimitsu sticks and buttons. Someone's doing hoarder therapy so sells me a Madcatz Fightstick real cheap. I go look how bad it is... Turns out their fightsticks are penance for their sins, they're legitimately excellent and already come stock with Sanwa+Seimitsu. When you see everything else Madcatz did, I can't fathom how their fight sticks came to be.
@@Mordecrox It's because they had a niche market that had continued support with their arcade sticks. As I recall, Daigo Umehara is the FGC's first sponsored player and the sponsor was none other than Mad Catz. Ironically, Mad Catz was American until they bankrupted in 2017 and returned in 2018 under Hong Kong ownership.
Oh man, I was just thinking about this thing, saw one when i was in high school, I've wanted one ever since! There's actually a light-up gauge around the center screen that works specifically with Gran Turismo games on the PS3, for your tachometer (RPMs) Also, I'd be willing to buy it off you, if you want.
The controller shows your tachometer readout? That's cool. That's something the devs would have had to program the game to do. Most games don't typically send data like that to controllers.
"I don't play any sim racing games, so I'm gonna use this sim racing controller for a kart racer" does not instill hope in me for your reviews of other controllers, especially considering how hard this one is to come by.
Baby powder can make sticky coatings a bit less sticky. Just sprinkle a little on and then wipe with a damp cloth. Saved my Wii U thumbsticks from being disgusting.
Really dropped the ball on this review by not playing some of the simcade racing games. Would have loved to hear how that steering wheel thing compares to using to "holding the analog stick forward and then moving it in an arc" style style of steering. But gotta say, ur presentation is top notch! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for reminding me that this controller does in fact still live in my head rent free, after all of these years. I knew someone that had one in my Midnight Club LA crew. Also thank you for introducing me to Stampede. I've been playing it most of the day today and just ran into you online. I will catch you, don't worry.
The oily/sticky substance is plastic softener oozing out of the material. It's an aging process, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. Wiping it with lemon- or orange surface cleaner will help temporarily.
nah, it's more likely that the controller manufacturer initiated a licensing deal with HKS in an attempt to reach more eyeballs to fans of racing games with HKS being a popular and well-known brand among that crowd. I don't think HKS would have really cared about making a controller lol.
damn a new episode of nugget hunting and it has everything from diasgusting rubber to dubious named brand with dubious quality only thing missing is shitty notebook from 2000s and naming the props

@ 3:50 take it apart, clean the deteriorated rubber coating off with denatured alcohol, reassemble. In the meantime, cut the flat panels off of the clear tray, keep it in tray while using.
Racing wheels aren't technically better because they're more precise, they're better because the force feedback gives you more information on what the cars doing. Theoretically keyboard is the fastest because it has the fastest inputs
which input method is "better" is entirely dependant on what you're trying to do. if you're playing an arcade racer like trackmania or f-zero, you probably want keys or a thumbstick, but if you're playing a racing sim, you'll likely want some form of analog input, especially a racing wheel. a racing wheel is better both because of its precision and its force feedback capabilities if you want to play something like iRacing or assetto corsa as you will want to be able to make very slight adjustments to your cars trajectory and respond to feedback from the car. a keyboard being faster in this case is useless since, without an insane amount of practice, it is much easier to overshoot your target and lose control of the car. the primary drawback of binary inputs like keyboards is the fact that you're unable to select a position on the axis and stay there, which quite literally means racing wheels are better because of their precision.
@thesaintnoodle I said theoretically for a reason, no other input method will allow you to instantly go from lock to lock and unlike real life slip angle tends to be a very efficient tool in turning due to games not having perfect physics. Beyond all that you do realize quite a few of the top Iracing pros are on controller right? The most important part of picking your input method is preference, I was just speaking on the *THEORETICAL* fastest input method
Omg I had one of these and I miss it so so much! Im sad that mine broke but ive had 2 of them before. but the l-r triggers would always break or jam up. And the backing plate would get nasty too and start to wear off. other then that they were super good for games like Gran-Turismo. Thanks for bringing me back!
They really downgraded the triggers to make people use those buttons. There's a reason why every racing game uses the triggers for throttle and brake, simply because it works perfectly.
@@P_D-px6iv it is still better than two buttons being one next to the other. You can easily press X and Square at the same time by accident, while you can't do this when using the triggers.
like for example, it would mean that i can use clutch in a controller, wich gives even more control on sim-cades o simulators in general, like, i would use the x and sq yeah, as break and gas, and the right "trigger" as a clutch, and the left one maybe, just maybe as an e-brake, the top bumpers to change gears, and everything else as whatever else the game asks me for, like, the triangle to turn on the car in one or other game, the dpad for the tipical comunication shmut that i dont use, but one thing is what i think of it, and other completely different is what it would actually be like
the little pressure readout thing could work for like really precise braking, like in simrigs where you have adjustable pedal travel/stiffness, but youd have to be looking down while in a braking zone...if you need to brake for a WHILE then it could be helpful
yes on the wheel, if your worried about compatibility, companies make little hubs that make the wheel work with any console, and they all work with pc :) This video was fun however!
What is funny is that HKS (which is a pretty good quality aftermarket parts manufacturer) put their name on this... I have an HKS sport intake on my 1985 Toyota AE86 lmao
I bought this controller when it first came out. I still have it and the soft touch plastic has turned sticky on mine as well. I really liked using it for playing Need for Speed and other racing games on the PS3. I wish I knew of a way to remove that sticky plastic.
Hmm, that kart racing game genuinely looks good. contrary to you I'm one that plays a lot of racing games, I'm one of those with a full racing simulator, but there is not that many arcade racers that I play, but this looks interesting, and free :O. I also have a weird racing controller somewhere, it's the (Thrustmaster F1 Wireless Gamepad, Ferrari 150th Italia Alonso Edition), had to google the full name because it's way too big, it is more normal of a controller, but around a rather small dpad it has a wheel like thing that turns like a total of 90º or something, weirdly enough I did enjoy it quite a bit, but that was 10 years ago and it must have been one of my first gamepads i had, apart from my gravis (or knock off of one) that I had in the 90s, surprisingly the thrustmaster is also still available for purchase and very cheap.
A good racing wheel will give you a completely different experience than a controller. I highly recommend it. But you really need a good one tho. Probably $200 minimum for a decent one.

Racing wheels aren't technically better because they're more precise, they're better because the force feedback gives you more information on what the cars doing. Theoretically keyboard is the fastest because it has the fastest inputs
which input method is "better" is entirely dependant on what you're trying to do. if you're playing an arcade racer like trackmania or f-zero, you probably want keys or a thumbstick, but if you're playing a racing sim, you'll likely want some form of analog input, especially a racing wheel. a racing wheel is better both because of its precision and its force feedback capabilities if you want to play something like iRacing or assetto corsa as you will want to be able to make very slight adjustments to your cars trajectory and respond to feedback from the car. a keyboard being faster in this case is useless since, without an insane amount of practice, it is much easier to overshoot your target and lose control of the car.
the primary drawback of binary inputs like keyboards is the fact that you're unable to select a position on the axis and stay there, which quite literally means racing wheels are better because of their precision.
@thesaintnoodle I said theoretically for a reason, no other input method will allow you to instantly go from lock to lock and unlike real life slip angle tends to be a very efficient tool in turning due to games not having perfect physics. Beyond all that you do realize quite a few of the top Iracing pros are on controller right? The most important part of picking your input method is preference, I was just speaking on the *THEORETICAL* fastest input method
Omg I had one of these and I miss it so so much! Im sad that mine broke but ive had 2 of them before. but the l-r triggers would always break or jam up. And the backing plate would get nasty too and start to wear off. other then that they were super good for games like Gran-Turismo. Thanks for bringing me back!
Alcohol wipes, Ispropanol or simply cleaning alcohol gets rid of the rubberized coating and leaves behind perfectly smooth plastic
I see a dankpods influenced video I immediately downvote
Bruh
Harmon Smith’s gonna be pissed hearing about the new kart racing game
Stampede racing Royale to me looks like a spiritual successor to Little Big Planet Karting, especially in the animation of the characters.
We got JDM controllers before GTA V.
you can (usually) remove the liquified rubber from things with isospropyl alcohol, it quite literally just wipes away
This looks like something someone would 3D print and then send to Uncle Derek
I love playstation dank pods 🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣🗣💯💯💯💯💯💯
Picked one of these bad boys a few weeks ago for just 2 dollars at a thrift shop, still works but the potentiometers need replacing
Huh never seen anything like it. I'm excited to watch this now. U got a sub
They really downgraded the triggers to make people use those buttons.
There's a reason why every racing game uses the triggers for throttle and brake, simply because it works perfectly.
Eh it's not like the stock PS3 controller has analog triggers either
There's a reason most racing game players preferred the 360
@@P_D-px6iv it is still better than two buttons being one next to the other. You can easily press X and Square at the same time by accident, while you can't do this when using the triggers.
Bro is just dankpods and i love him for that
You can use acetone to remove that soft touch rubber
Sometimes I wonder if someone besides me uses the R-Stick for accel/decel in Mario Kart 8D lol
I don't play Mario Kart 8D because I don't have a Switch; but, I've been using the right stick for accel/decel since the PS1.
@@mattdavis9601 actually based lmao
i personally think that controller can be amazing for someone who like simulator-like games
like for example, it would mean that i can use clutch in a controller, wich gives even more control on sim-cades o simulators in general, like, i would use the x and sq yeah, as break and gas, and the right "trigger" as a clutch, and the left one maybe, just maybe as an e-brake, the top bumpers to change gears, and everything else as whatever else the game asks me for, like, the triangle to turn on the car in one or other game, the dpad for the tipical comunication shmut that i dont use, but one thing is what i think of it, and other completely different is what it would actually be like
this looks like fan made render ps4 controller circa 2007
the little pressure readout thing could work for like really precise braking, like in simrigs where you have adjustable pedal travel/stiffness, but youd have to be looking down while in a braking zone...if you need to brake for a WHILE then it could be helpful
yes on the wheel, if your worried about compatibility, companies make little hubs that make the wheel work with any console, and they all work with pc :) This video was fun however!
You would need to flock the controller to stop any glare 😂
the fact that HKS put their name on this is so wild
thank u for the game recommendation, i already have 2 hours in stampede!
Ur right hand, first finger for square, middle finger for x.👌
The mouse with a joystick is probably for one handed play.
ain't gonna like but i love that wheel on the controller. looks much better using that instead of a joystick
What is funny is that HKS (which is a pretty good quality aftermarket parts manufacturer) put their name on this... I have an HKS sport intake on my 1985 Toyota AE86 lmao
Purple dank ponds "gaming edition"
Bro really played with a controller made for racing game with a non racing game.
That's like playing mario kart with a sim wheel lmfao
could you test this controller with other games? would be interesting to see this controller playing something like Dark Souls or a 2D platformer
Wade has changed over the year's...
Ngl I kinda want one of these for the sole reason of playing anything but a racing game. Ala Guitar Hero Dark Souls.
Bro tryna be dankpods so bad
Use rubbing alcohol/Isopropyl alcohol to clean the rubber.
The cable is better than the snes mini, those things are so short, i struggle to reach the settee with those!
This got me a nice number of wins in GT5 550 and 600PP Lobbys
Use wet wipes to clean the soft touch rubber that is dissolving, it worked for me on a 1987 sony walkman that had the very same sticky issue
try it for rally racing if you can
I bought this controller when it first came out. I still have it and the soft touch plastic has turned sticky on mine as well. I really liked using it for playing Need for Speed and other racing games on the PS3. I wish I knew of a way to remove that sticky plastic.
I assume they were acquired by Lexip, as Lexip has been around for quite a while already.
damn the numpad in that spot would be perfect for devil may cry

Hmm, that kart racing game genuinely looks good. contrary to you I'm one that plays a lot of racing games, I'm one of those with a full racing simulator, but there is not that many arcade racers that I play, but this looks interesting, and free :O.
I also have a weird racing controller somewhere, it's the (Thrustmaster F1 Wireless Gamepad, Ferrari 150th Italia Alonso Edition), had to google the full name because it's way too big, it is more normal of a controller, but around a rather small dpad it has a wheel like thing that turns like a total of 90º or something, weirdly enough I did enjoy it quite a bit, but that was 10 years ago and it must have been one of my first gamepads i had, apart from my gravis (or knock off of one) that I had in the 90s, surprisingly the thrustmaster is also still available for purchase and very cheap.
why do you have fake paper psps and a vita on your desk bro🤣
You have to use 2 fingers on the gas and the brake.
You really need to invest for a pair of gloves, in case of biohazard things like this one lmao
A good racing wheel will give you a completely different experience than a controller. I highly recommend it. But you really need a good one tho. Probably $200 minimum for a decent one.
Give this to a fighting game player and see them cook combos
Oh my god I actually own this controller and I've owned it for years.
XD do you use it regularly or does it just collect dust?
2:30 _Mouse with a little joystick on the side of it. Why would you want that?_
Good for one handed gamers like Champutee. ZLOT makes a vertical grip mouse like that.
