GameSir has been on a roll with their pro controllers this past year, absolutely dominating the Xbox and Nintendo Switch markets with insane specs for the money! The T4K, for PC players at least, is the best budget pro controller you can buy under $50. Nothing else comes close at that price range aside from other GameSir controllers like the G7 SE! Which I've also recently taken a look at if you're interested. I sincerely hop you guys enjoyed this one! In my opinion, it was by far the most aesthetically pleasing review I have ever done, huge shoutout to GameSir for making their RGB so customizable. As well as sending out the extra T4K for the giveaway. I will be announcing the winners here on UA-cam via the community tab on my channel so you can stay up to date there on that, as well as future projects. Thank you guys so much for coming out, and I hope to see you in the next video!

Next: review of your jacket! It musst be older then you😂
He bought it in 1846
Damn I want one now
Back to the future 😅
He got that Back To The Future Jacket. The one that can adjust its size to fit anyone. And to say it's older than him? No... That Jacket came out in 2015... 😏
#t4k I love it wana so bad
I really think #T4K may be the push we needed to finally make Hall effect sticks more of an accessible feature for game controllers. Hadn't really heard of Gamesir before this but they have gotten my respect for these new controllers.
They made cell phone controllers before. The x2 was better than the razer kishi
Honestly you're the best reviewer for controllers ever and its not even close. Since finding your channel any time I need a new controller I always check what you have to say, always honest about the good and even on controllers you recommend you still give it criticisms that it deserves #T4K
So glad I found this channel about a month ago. Helped so much when deciding what controller to get and am now thinking about picking up the #T4K. Thanks boss.
I cannot express how happy I am that I found your channel before wasting money. That controller that’s see through is freaking amazing.#T4K
I kept telling everyone who would listen (and let's face it, many who didn't 😂) that Hall Effect sensors are standard stuff in RC remotes and they should be the standard in gamepads. Finally a company listened!
I have half a mind to buy multiple just to reward this behavior.
Why would you need multiple controllers to rewasd?
@@2stepaheadYOU "just to reward this behavior."
I literally wrote why.
@@Argosh what behavior the magnetic holofec?
@@2stepaheadYOU can you read? Because I don't think you can.
@@Argosh Ok I was not aware half a mind meant it did not work
Thanks for getting the details on that issue Cuda, hopefully they'll include that stabilizer component in future designs.
Your reviews are always very captivating!
My very first controller is their T4 Pro like from 3 years ago, it's not hall effect but it has wireless options and has more compatibility with other platforms. I absolutely love what Gamesir has delivered recently with their disrupting #T4K. An absolutely complete package pad that blows out of the water almost both what 1st and 3rd party controllers are offering and would love to get my hands on this beauty.
one of my favorite youtubers and never fail to make me laugh you deserve this
Thank you so much for the tip! You're far too kind my man
Happy to see you mention the ACTUAL complaints I have with this controller, the abxy wobble and lack of tactile (also wobbly for me) dpad
I am for the first time seeing your channel after scouring a bunch on many many channels for decent budget controllers for switch, xbox, and pc so I’m glad I found the #T4K and a new person to binge some videos and get some controller knowledge from
I’m def getting the g7 se because of your previous vid, keep up the good work my man.
Bro the production quality in this vid is 🔥🔥
The consistency in uploads is impeccable 🎮💙
#T4K, been subbed since around 20k and the steady rate you be growing at is honestly too well deserved, my go to channel for controller reviews and info. This is the channel i will always tell people to go watch before getting a controller themself:)
Never heard of Gamesir before I saw your other review yesterday and honestly I'm really excited now, thanks for the new info and keep it up. #T4K
Bro, you’re the goat of controller reviews. I watch your videos to see what controllers are best for me. And on top of that you’re funny as hell. Thank you for all your reviews. #T4K
It was really nice to see your take on the #T4K; I always appreciate how thorough you are, as things like the face buttons being mechanical draw me in, but how loose they are would probably sour the experience if I got it like that without knowing; I would probably end up sending it back thinking it was a QC issue! 😅
Thank you for your in depth Controller Reviews! As a controller geek myself, you're videos are the greatest. #T4K
I watched your G7 Xbox controller review before this video (for obvious reasons) and was super excited to see this #T4K review because you mentioned it had clicky buttons AND Hall effect Joysticks and your review here did NOT disappoint.
Honestly, it DOES suck that this technology is so good and so cheap that it gives other major companies NO excuse for charging as much as they do. I’d like to think I’m working my way up to Pro gaming as opposed to casual. But it is ridiculous that one of the best controllers out for me is around $40-$45.
Anyway, love your videos. I’m curious to know how long it takes to shoot and edit your videos because they look great and I love your setup. Also, wired equipment is just plain better than wireless for ALMOST everything lol
great review man, was considering getting a scuff for cod and other fps games but don't want to drop all that guap heard someone recommend this a cheep alternative. This review was both very entertaining and equally insightful, keep up the good vids!
Bought based on this review, and I love it! Had scuf, elite 2, powera and a few others. But I might like this one the most. Thanks for putting together all these reviews!
Never heard of Gamesir before I saw your other review yesterday and honestly I'm really excited now, them starting with solid budget controllers seems like leading to a real no-compromise pro controller for around the $80-$100 range and that would not only be perfect, but shatter every other unreliable controller on the market. #T4K
Been waiting #T4K review since I found this channel a while ago. Glad I finally got to see it.
My bro is straight comical with his professional reviews and makes my hour a bit brighter. Stay up fam! 🙏🏾🙌🏾
The #T4K wasn't even on my radar before you talked about it on the G7 SE video and now I can't wait to get my hands on one.
I love my T4K, just started using it this week.
My audio is run through my sound board, all wired all day long here.
I'm kinda liking what #T4K is offering here. I guess it could be my next controller when the time comes for my current main controller.
Though that button stability issue is like removing some consistency from your loadout just so you can have a cool looking loadout.
I’m wondering if you can add one from the original Xbox control or even a broken one for more button stability 🤔
The buttons are more stable than my Sony PS5 controller.
your contents deserve more views i mean millions more! keep going✌️
been using it for a month on pc and it's the best controller i've ever owned
Man this controller is the most and the only real innovation that has happened in the controller market in the last couple of years,love this controller to bits 😍😍. #T4K all the way.
Great review 👌Super informative
#TK4 Outstanding review! You did a fantastic job of explaining the ins and outs of the Hall effect controller. I particularly appreciated the detailed breakdown of the construction and operational principles. Your technical analysis of its efficiency, sensitivity, and robustness was well-presented and easy to comprehend. It's clear that you have a deep understanding of this technology, and your enthusiasm made the topic engaging. Please keep up the great work, I look forward to more reviews! #TK4 #TK4 #TK4 #TK4 #TK4 #TK4 #TK4 #TK4 #TK4
Found this video through my recommendations, and I got to say that you've earned my sub. Controller looks and sounds great too. #T4K
So glad you bought that device to measure force. I was semi pro and was looking to more informations about it in your videos along with thumsticks physical deadzones AND their height (fingers crossed you will start talking and showing more about it). It`s also great idea to revisit some controllers and test their thumbsticks tension - all 3 settings in Elite 2 or PowerA Spectra which had it increased compared to standard Xbox controller.
T4k company looks like really pro consumer one. Will keep and eye on what they are offering and reliability of their controllers.
I am glad you called out those p....s that use macros. Respect.
#T4K
I agree that some people are willing to put up with microsoft's elite series 2 controller problems because of some of things that it offers. I've been one of those people. 4 paddles, trigger stops are just optimal for me at this point. Adding hall effect sticks would make the perfect for me. #T4K
I agree with that. The 4 paddles and trigger stops keep me with it (also the manual stick adjustment.)
This review was the first I've heard of gamesir. And after watching your other reviews of their other controllers, I've decided to go with the T4. So far its working good, feels nice in the hands. And I think it's helped to up my game in SF6. So thank you!
you got it? where you got the driver from? the site only gives me the microsoft store version
Street Fighter 6? I find diagonals are inconsistent in that game
@@konigfisch6327 i only got the Microsoft store app too. So I don't use the software. Just the on board mappings.
@@FS-zt6tm I agree, i found that you can do a quarter circle forward with just a down forward.
Dope review, my dualsense recently died to stick drift so im hoping the T4K can last
#T4K I really like that this controller (and gameSir) are getting more and more recognition, and I think that if this trend continues (budget controllers with this kind of features) then more and more companies will start to offer better features primarily (hopefully) hall effect sticks. Great review btw
They're not even that expensive when you consider how much the controller costs.
Your videos are the funniest to bad more reviewers didn't be brutally honest and funny like you. I got my buddy into the gambit but now this t4 is going to be bees knees
my current controller of choice, use it on xbox with a brook adapter and its easily the most consistent controller ive ever used. well worth it
I have this controller for my series X as well and I'm using the brook wingman adapter also. Here's a fun fact you may or may not already know.
If you put it in a different mode while it's plugged into your PC and switch back to X-input and you unplug it a little before the green flashing stops, indicating X-input selection.
Then plug it into the brook wingman adapter to plug into your Xbox, it will automatically turn the controller on in X input mode without having to manually select xinput every time you plug into your Xbox.
Found about these a day ago, and ordered it. Hopefully it will arrive to be a nice Christmas present for myself xD
Been using for about 2 weeks now and I'm really loving it. Only thing I wish it had was trigger stops then it would be perfect for me
#T4K ,I think that like you were emphasizing vCuda that if they pushed hard enough with using all the amazing abilities in these controllers they could totally make a beast of a controller that would rival almost any pro or top end controller out there, as for the T4K I think its the most assessable and recommendable controller that's mostly pro having the 1000 pulling rate the mostly clicky buttons and the halleffect joysticks and two rear back buttons, paired with an awesome clear shell and who cant love a bit of rainbows man its pretty dang perfect for the price.
Awesome review man. Question- Is it possible to disable the bottom triggers completely? I grip my controllers quite strongly and there are a lot of accidental presses.
Love this guys videos fr
Thanks for the review. Very thorough and informative. Subscribed to your channel because of it. #T4K
I'm a pc player and my Kaleid is on the way from their factory. I only use wired controllers so it was a prerequisite to me. I barely use the buttons or pad so its not a problem to me. I'll use it for racing/driving games.
Cool review, first time watching the channel and got hooked #T4K
consistent upload??? Keep it up man💪
Probably gonna snag myself the Xbox Hal Effect controller next week, looks good
Nice reviews, thank you it was useful, btw i am a bit worried about the build quality of the transparent plastic, is it sturdy or it's like cheap plastic? 'cause i was searching for a durable controller, but the plastic that might brake scares me a bit off tbh
Hey Thank You ! First time watching. Funny, informative, relatable. Good stuff bro!💪🏽❤️🔥 #TK4 Its a great controller for that price point, dare I say, the best for the price out now. 🤑
Best controller ever released, budget pricing with premium features. The #T4K s only caveat is it being wired, but if you mainly use it for PC anyways, thats really a non issue. Honestly, what blew me away was the design choice, it looks sleek as hell.
Is there any latency when it is wired compared to Bluetooth?
Nice review 👌🏻.
Hoping they make one with all the features, clicky buttons and D-pad, anti stick drift and 1000hz by the time my Razer Wolverine finally fails.
#T4K I can’t get enough of your videos brotha, please keep it up! Not many reviewers out here doing new controllers! Also, hope I can snag this thing! My bday is on the 29th, would be a sick new present
Let's hope #T4K Hall effect sticks become the norm in controllers, especially the pro/elite offerings with the price tag. Great channel and information.
Been waiting for a controller with all these features! #T4K
I have had the T4 Kaleid for around a month and a half, easily my favourite controller I have used. I was maining the Eswap S before this, however that had already started to drift after only around 6 months of usage. Genuinely very happy with it and for the price I cannot fault it to harshly.
How does the start, back and capture buttons on gamesir t4 kaleid work with PC?
@@Asma._.A Start and back buttons act the same as a standard Xbox controller, the capture button does nothing on PC, unless you map it to something in the software.
@@joshp9947 can i have the macros binded to any button or does it have to be the rear/back buttons?
@@1_hn1 From my testing and their website they can only be bound to the back buttons.
Stupid question does it work on Xbox Console I just kept hearing switch controller and tough it only works for Nintendo Switch😅
you are the undisputed goat of controller reviews
If I could only get a company to put wireless+bluetooth, gyro, hall effect sensors, clicky everything, trigger stops, four rear buttons, and two extra shoulder buttons ala the Wolverine onto a single controller, I would die happy. Seriously, more controllers need extra shoulder buttons, they're better than a second set of rear buttons imo. Thanks for all the great videos. #T4K
#T4K I have to say that after getting this it's better than expected and I'm really happy especially with the feel and joysticks. What a gem and yes I'm talking about your jacket.
I have genuinely loved my T4
GameSir killin it. They have the best mobile game controllers on the market which are the GameSir X2s & GameSir G8 Galileo
The #T4K deserves way more attention. A premium version with 4 back buttons, trigger stops, and the stabilizer on the face buttons for Xbox would be untouchable by anyone else at the moment.
T4K is nice and does deserve more attention... but the Terios Winkey is better and the same price. It's 500hz or ~2ms wired, but has all (and better) mechanical buttons and better hall effect sticks. Also comes with 2.4ghz wireless dongle (only 200hz, so I'd go wired), 2x long swappable thumb sticks, magnetic swappable faceplates (dark grey and silver), a carrying case (similar to the KingKong 2 Pro), and 2x thumb stick grip covers.
@@percy4209 Sorry but i can't seem to find "Terios Winkey" anywhere online.
I found the brand but can't find the particular controller you mentioned.
Could you help me?
This controller looks very good with clear plastic and the fact that it has hall effect Joysticks makes it so compelling #T4K
This my third video watching you dawg lol ima go ahead and sub 😊
So for PC fps users - the T4 or G7 SE?
#T4K Gamesir is doing a wonderful job pushing innovation and longevity in the controller market, especially with the G7 SE being an official xbox controller. I got a Scuf for about half price about 7 months ago and as you would expect the stick drift is getting more and more significant each week at this point. Next controller I use is going to be a Gamesir controller 100%
WE need more from Gamesir, a premium with the pro features would be crazy! #T4K
The #T4K is very impressive considering price point and features! I feel like this controller rivals the victrix gambit! Good video!!
It’s sad that GameSir is the only company interested in pushing the industry forward; every other company produces the same crappy thumbsticks.
I own one and love it. Just wishing they did not manufacture their cable input to prohibit longer USB c cables - the shape and depth make it really difficult if not impossible to find a suitable longer cable. I have the option of using this into my Samsung tv's USB port while playing on Game Pass and the 6-foot cable that they include is not long enough.
would you recommend this over the scuf envision pro? clicks seem nice, i have pc only.. i am having a hard time deciding on a controller and not sure what to get... xbox elite series 2 is on sale for 150 right now but i hear about the stick drift... i haven't gamed in a long time and not sure.
Hey man. I have stumbled across your channel while looking for a new controller and I really like your editing style. However I do wonder, what controller would you recommend for exclusive PC use? The G7SE or this one?
there is also a wireless version t4 cyclone pro. If you want wired than t4k.
Love your videos bro, best gamepad reviewer by far! Im on the fence of the g7 or g7se. What do you guys think? Are hal effect sticks worth giving up the clicky ABXY, D-PAD and the nice rubberized grip?
Hall sticks are why you buy this over official controller. So its G7se vs T4k, or maybe they release a new one
#t4K thank you for all your controller reviews its what made me get the Victrix gambit controller and i love it. Has started to get some stick drift so being able to try out the hall effect triggers would be amazing :)
As someone who watches all you're videos I 100% agree that #T4K is most likely they way and I love what they are doing.
Binging all your videos, great content!
Now I only need to figure out the song name in the beginning
Awesome content, keep it up! #T4K
Hall-effect sensors are incredible; they greatly improve thumbsticks.
The clear plastic/diffused led combo on #T4K does look nice.
Great review of the #T4K bro. I definitely need one
wich is better, the GameSir T4 Kaleid or FlyDigi Vader 3 Pro? please help
The #T4K is so close to the perfect controller that it's putting every other company to shame. Great review
#t4k great video bro I bought the 8bit ultimate from your review and haven’t put it down since! ❤️🔥
HES BACK!!!
This is the best controller and absolutely the very best hands down for the price. Bought it and received it today, updated the firmware and it blows away all other controllers for FPS gaming along with up to 1000 hz polling rate for PC.
Yes it would be even better with two more paddles behind the current two and trigger stops, but its still way better then all the high price Microsoft elites, scuffs, volverines etc. The next best controller is the Gamesir G7 SE which I also own and the Nacon RIG Revolution controller.
I've owned top pricey controllers and the Gamesir T4 Talieb is the best that will hopefully will come with 4 paddles and trigger stops.
Another great review. The #T4K looks amazing, but there's still plenty of room for improvement. The market is heading in the right direction, though.
Thanks to your reviews, I grabbed both G7s. Recommended the 7SE to a friend as well. Ended up painting my 7SE gun metal. I don't like white controllers. Kinda wish GameSir would make a controller with all these features but shaped like the DualShock4 including a touchpad. And I don't mind having only two rear buttons.
#T4K
Absolutly banging controller just pucked one up under $40 with 5% coupon on amazon came in 2-3 days don't remember tbh. The buttons feel amazing, but the d-pad is a little weird because they curve up. The wire doesn't get in the way and is braided really nicely. The rgb is really bright and colorful. The joysicks feel great, they are hybrid but not like nintendo controllers definatley closer to ps controllers. My only complaints are they didn't put padding on the triggers so when you let go they reverberate and xbox kontrol freeks dont work on the joysticks because they are too small, but I have heard playstaion ones do so I'll have to pick some up. I would recommend either the black galaxy or crystal galaxy which they are clear to match the controller and they are only on the kontrol freek website!
#T4K Bro I been waiting like.. ages to get enough money to buy my GameSir controller, also thank you for your review, haven't found any complete review about this controller.. #T4K and #4ButtonGang thank you.
You say the gyro isn't good but is that only regarding PC? Or also how it functions against the official switch pro controller on the switch itself?
This controller is soooo sick. Been one mine for like 2 months and it is just so solid for the $35 I paid.
#T4K goes crazyyyyyy love your reviews, very helpful
#T4K Another review with no fat. Love the no BS approach. Keep them coming bro.
#T4K this controller looks sick, does it have a face plate you can take off easy? i find you can sometimes use the extended thubmbsticks on the fusion pro 2 on most swappable thumbsticks so Im trying to decide between the T4k or the SE
Would you recommend the razer V2 chroma if it was 30 dollars cheaper, or the victrix gambit for console? im trying to get a new controller and the victrix gambit trigger stops are tempting, but 6 buttons on the v2 chroma is also tempting. I want a controller that is cheap, reliable, and good for shooters like cod and fn.
The #T4K is something I'm really interested in. It really does seem to have all the bells and whistles. Super sick.
