- I have tested tons of custom controllers here on the channel and it is easily said that Battle Beaver has always stood out among the competition. Every innovation Battle Beaver brings to the table has slowly been attempted to be copied by its competition and for good reason, they're that good. I'm thankful to have gotten the opportunity to review the PS5 Battle Beaver Custom Controller for you guys. The givaway for the PS5 BattleBeaver will happen live in our streams here on UA-cam to a lucky random winner. Turn on Noti's so you don't miss it.
Several updates will be coming to the customization options offered for PS5 Builds in the coming week and months. These controller are being build in Waves from BattleBeaver. If you'd like to stay up to date on how you can order your own then please visit

The only Issues I had with this controller was that Sony hadn't updated their PC software yet for compatibility with the PS5 Dualsense controller and I accidentally dropped my white Battle Beaver and messed up a smart trigger on it. So as far as performance I've never had a Battle Beaver not work for me unless it was my fault or a lack of software compatibility.

We've reviewed several Battle Beavers here on the channel and every time I'm reminded why they're so highly demanded. Every feature innovation Battle Beaver brings to the table at some point in time is attempted to be copied by another company. Every controller I've tested, reviewed and played on for well over a years span of time has worked perfectly.
I 've linked our other Videos covering Battle Beaver PS4 builds and update videos in the description section. Several updates will be coming to the customization options offered for PS5 Controller Builds in the coming week and months. The giveaway for this controller will happen live on stream here on UA-cam to a lucky random winner. Good luck :)
I pitch Battle beaver Daily on my Bf2042 streams their build quality is unmatched i have tested Scuf (crap ) Astro (Crap with out BBC high tension thumb sticks) Evil custom (not bad but only lasted 6 months ) Battle Beaver Customs Ahead of the pack always . build quality last years i have DS4 that's three years old the decimated rubber on the Thumbsticks is the only sign of age . stills holds a tight dead zone 3 yrs later i love extreme tension . my latest build is top notch Medium on the left Extreme on the right and d pad and trigger mods oh yeah baby can't wait . BBC only down side Wait time
Hi can you program macros to the back buttons to do full combos?
Thank yu I’ve been waiting for this to drop. You’ve made my day
It’s not drop there are no custom ps5 modded controllers out by any company yet
Professional review as always man. Keep up the great work and thanks for your time invested. Also the comment about drywall was funny as hell. I laughed out loud. Thanks again. Glad to see you around more. Keep up the great work
Air bear’s Honest Reviews are the best. I wish there was more controller’s to review lmao
Awesome video, can't wait to buy one! I recently ordered a PS5 aim controller. Still waiting for it... Thanks for the tip about the remapping. I definitely want that on my controller.
Same mine comes in a week or two
Just ordered a Aim PS5 DualSense controller yesterday… can’t wait to get it! Would love to see a review from @AirBear
I got it last month and I have to say it's been amazing so far. The paddles placement for my hands are perfect. Best for the price by far
Got mine in but got the top paddles confused had to send it back but it felt so great I have big hands and the ps4 controller feels a little small
@@WVGHOST10 you couldn't just remap them?
"Pulling drywall out of the controller" 🤣🤣
Clean as always my guy 😎 BB are the GOATS, even after the torture I put mine through back in the console days it was always the best thing I bought to up my game. Keep it up 200k this summer ☀️
This was a great ad, thank you.
I see what you did there. 😉
Hahahahaha I was gonna comment and say “this sounds an awful lot like a sponsored video”. 🤔
YESSIRRRR airbear i luv ur controller reviews pls make more these are amazing
Oh wow you are at least a 1M channel. You’re content is so informative and high level!
Anyone use the increased thumbstick tension for Fortnite? How is it for building and editing
Just ordered mine Yesterday..!! Ps5 Fully decked out with full cosmetics. They have come a Long Way since this video.... Can not wait to receive it!!
Thanks for the review. Might to get one of this
Underrated channel
The increased/extreme thumbstick tension modules for the Astro C40 were a godsend! Thank you Battle Beaver!
C40 was trash. I went though 7 c40’s. Thank god for Best Buy warranty.
@@charleshawk6668 that’s tough! I’ve had mine since it released with only one issue. Thanks to a subreddit I found a fix within the software.
Your thumb sticks are gonna drift within the next week battle beaver is a giant scam
@@lamb-of-god.5246 I guess I’m the exception and not the rule. I’ve had the tension thumbstick modules for a year without issue.
@@CDFortsonIII what game do you play? Been bingeing warzone and it’s caused a ton of stick drift.
Thanks for the nice update :)
i own 3 battlebeaver ps4 controllers each one with different customizations all with 4 backbuttons. i've own them for over a year and they are awesome
Never saw a clearer vid as this one. ✌🏻
I have the battle beaver increased tension for my Astro c40, they last way longer and feel way better. 10/10 recommend the 110g tension
Just woke up looked at my phone got this noti now my day is better
Missed your content dude! I’m saving for when we can go full customer!
Your videos are so clean 💯👌
Nice review video man should've followed your advice and got a battle beaver instead of a scuf got a scuf almost a year ago and after like three to four months the paddle started to wear off definitely going to get a dual sense ps5 battle beaver custom on the next wave, wave 3 is already concluded.
your videos are s good man, underrated
Great review, controller looks good
Needed to see this!!
Your Quality is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Should be expecting mine in the next 10 years :)
That’s about when I’ll get my ps5 💀
yeah bruh i placed my order march 12th... still haven't been notified that it's even been started to be built. Just actually sent them an email today that if my controller hasn't been started then im cancelling my order. lmao its beyond ridiculous. i can understand a smaller workforce and not enough technicians, but shit, LET THE PEOPLE KNOW ITS GUNNA BE A 3 MONTH WAIT the pandemic is NOT an excuse for wait time idc what anyone has to say about that.
When you bought the controller, you agreed in two places to a 9 week minimum wait time…. Nothing to wine about but stupidity!
Damn a 9 week wait??? Yea fuck that. they must be back ordered with that waiting period
@@DankintheDirt Yea cuz a pandemic that literally put the world on pause isn't an excuse lmao the entitlement is wild. It literally tells you that its a 9-10 week build time.
Can you please do a review on precision rings from kontrolfreek.
I’ve got a battle beaver in January and I had that disconnect problem. The latest controller update on the ps5 solved that problem
Seeing that astro gave me PTSD... lol. Great review as always! I've honestly only been playing single player games (great for clearing out the backlog) since I got my 5 due to lack of back button options. Think I am gonna try this soon, will be nice to have for everything but especially shooters & rocket league :)
My Astro is in shambles, and I still prefer to use it over my PowerA Fusion. I'm upset they don't make the C40 anymore. I will continue to use mine until the wheels fall off of it, so to speak.
@@xxitz_pr0gxx631 i absolutely loved it but constant stick drift issues (minor & major) across a few different controllers really made it unusable for me. I preferred ps4 back button attachment when it finally released
@@OGBigB1 did you get the battle beaver modules? My sticks are the ONLY thing that have never messed up.
I like my BB dualsense. I ordered the second wave of controllers. It took about 4 weeks to arrive.
Definitely keeping my eye out for their Twitter & website for the next wave. But I don't see an option on the site, for the PS5 Dualsense, for 4 back buttons. Maybe it's something they did on the first batch and not any others. But 4 buttons is essential for me. I've had a Scuf, Elite, & now Elite 2 and having 4 is crucial. Hopefully I'll get lucky in the next batch of pre-orders etc.
Aim Controllers
@@JahBenzo I got lucky and got one and got the faster delivery as well. It's been fantastic. I would like some improvements here and there, but overall it's a 8.5/10 for me. Super stiff thumb sticks is a welcome addition I didn't think I'd like, but with Halo's release...it's incredible. Highly recommend Battle Beaver.
i agree.. I love my battlebeaver controllers when i do get to use them. The downside are the WAIT TIMES. Expect to wait for 2 to 3 months before get your controller or get your controller modified. For my 1st battlebeaver it took 3 months to build and I watched a video to get thumbstick tension and what a mistake. It literally started to make my thumb ache and I could only use the controller for about an Hour before i had to put the controller down and use normal thumbstick controller. So i sent mine back to battlebeaver to have the tension removed and now have to wait another 3 months
What tension did you put on your controller? I’m thinking to go strong
A quick question about the resistance of the backside buttons. Are they similar in resistance as lets say, the Paddles on the Xbox One elite 2 controller? Or are they harder to press than those?
Awesome Video AIR BEAR!!
🐻 + 🦫= POG
First and last time I buy a Battle Beaver. The wait time is absolutely ridiculous.
I have a Evzen Elite, but I'm always looking for other options. Might be looking into this in the future.
Omg something new that’s never been done before
Definitly worth to buy it. I bought one and it lasted one year and a half and I did drop it accidentally a few times. But the thumbstick thingy that you ‘plug’ in, broke also, so I had glued it together. But it got worn out by one year, so I had to change it (and Ive been playing A LOOOOOOOT) and it bumps up to around 300$ for me. Because taxes is shit in my country
Where can I lean more about sending in my stock controller for customization and is this option available for stock PS5 controllers? Missed the 3rd wave so interested in this option
Nice! Can you review kontrolfreek precision rings please?! Thanks!
They are rubbish
You should check out the eXtreme Rate back button diy kit for the Dual Sense! It's REALLY good compared to their older ds4 version!
Howdy boss great video as always my friend can you tell me when you will be live streaming next peace
I do love my custom PS4 controller from Battle Beaver. I can attest that increased stick tension really helps in shooters. I play Destiny 2 so the stick tension plus re-mapping really help for things like those annoying sliding shotgun kills. My one gripe is with the thumb sticks. My first issue was with their interchangeable snap on ones. I would suspect I'm not the only one, but when I press forward on a stick the pressure from my finger is basically pushing upward from the bottom side of the stick which would pop it off. So I thought I'll order myself some solid sticks that are the right length for me. Replacing the complete stick on a PS4 controller is NOT easy and in attempting this I apparently somehow shorted a wire and lost all function of the controller. The other issue I have with the solid sticks is with soft rubber, which eventually wears off. So I go and order another customer controller, this time with aluminum solid sticks. While I've been happy with this, was definitely a bit of time and money to get right. The stick replacement is probably the one thing SCUF does better, but I suspect that system of there's must have a patent on it as it would otherwise seem like a no brainer for any customer controller company to incorporate in their builds.
I have had issues with the interchangeable joysticks on an Aim custom controller. I know battle beaver offers the same ones. Do you have any opinions on the other joysticks BBC offers?
They’re good controllers. But I’ve had 2 break where the smart triggers broke off internally. Really was kinda flimsy and there was no real support past if I send it in they would look at it. But shipping made that not worth doing. Ended up fixing it myself and is way more sturdy.
Mine Shipped today after ordering in March 12nd
I got a battle beaver 7-8 months ago and it’s still perfect
Like I want another one but why spend more money on a controller when mine is fine only problem is that it was a budget build
Battle Beaver's also work with the majority of chargers available for a stock PS controller whereas others may not.
You know what’s a good way to solve the analog stick issue when pressing the face buttons, use gyro/motion controls. Gyro/motion controls specifically in shooters the aiming with it is near uncanny when compared to a mouse so you don’t need aim assist with it but hey motion controls are “stupid” right (you also don’t need a tall thumb stick). Also with the touchpad you could have it mapped where specific button presses in certain areas (aka is it is) input as different buttons but no one asks for this from devs in games not only that the touchpad can be used as a scroll wheel. I find it really weird that features that are already built into controllers that are better or can already do the things that someone may want instead of telling game devs to implement these ideas and concepts into gameplay they just fork over extra cash to either remove features and/or enhance by default flawed things (not fix them)
Ayee we missed u !
Hey air bear, I have used a PS4 beaver controller pretty much since release, however I ordered an Xbox one beaver and just received it as I was told it’s less stress on my left thumb due to analog placement. Would you say you prefer the PS4, PS5 or Xbox controller ?
Hey man great video. I missed the window for the third pre order wave so I’m waiting for the next time they come around. Question though, where do you stream? Is there a link? Thanks!
I stream right here on UA-cam
@@AirBearGaming thanks! I’ll keep an eye open
Air bear, what position are the lower buttons on your controller? In the builder there are two lower positions, low and lower(ring finger).
Pricey, but their controllers are so worth every penny!
Kontrolfreek do their own attachment for thumbstick tension called precision rings. It would be cool if you could do a review on them and compare the differences to how it feels compared to a modified thumbstick tension
Didn’t work for me on my ps5 controller. I have auto run on and it wouldn’t even recognize me running. I got the medium tension was gunna try the lightest one but now dont want to waste even more money on sponge rings.
Don't use the rings on your left thumbstick, problem solved.
Great content.. Can u bind 2 buttons to one back button ?? .. thanks in advance
What placement are your back buttons? Are they standard or medium? And for the lower buttons, are they lower (ring finger) or low?
What placement did you set your buttons at for the 4 paddles ??
Bought my custom ones from ebay. More so for back buttons but well worth it. Most I've paid is $130
When are these going to be available? I don’t see them on the site.
Can I ask what placement you picked for you PS5 controller back buttons? Standard-lower? Medium-low? My fingers and hands lands in the same position as you and I don’t want to place the 4 buttons in an odd position.
Thanks in advance
I don't know if it's related to the DualSense build but i haven't seen any of them with Paddles instead of back buttons, i prefer paddles any day so that's the only reason i'm still sticking to Dualshock 4, also besides a change in design, we haven't really seen any advantage or improvement in stock controllers for pro gaming like better stick tension, more buttons or customization options, etc. i really wish the standard of controllers had evolved and that we had an elite version of the DualSense or DualShock. I've used all brands of elite controllers and honestly, now i stick to a dualshock with the Sony back button attachment, way cheaper and i can replace the thumbstick modules myself without paying for warranties or a ridiculous amount of money, only downside may be the stick tension which i can fix buying different modules, and if my controller dies or needs full replacement it doesn't hurt buying another dualshock for $60-80 instead of $200+
Hey good video !! Where are they based? Looking to get a pro pad but in uk don’t want to pay custom charges or returns if something happens
Question…..
Is there any word or release date for a Sony PS5 “back buttons” like we had for the PS4 controller..?
Battle beaver begin the only company that I know of selling next gen controllers will put them so far ahead in the market. Good on them for taking advantage of the opportunity.
They do look good and would like to try one by they are a bit pricy would like to know other people's opinion on them before I buy.
What do you think of Aim Controllers. A lot of the same features added.
I purchased a pro pick PS4 controller from battlebeaver last year and after a weeks use I suffered stick drift either it was due to bad luck or maybe they just aren’t as amazing as you think
Were did you put the placement buttons on the back of your controller? Stardand or low?
i went with nagashock instead since their turn around was only 2-3 weeks...one of the best decisions ive ever made.
I keep hearing good things about them I will be checking them out soon. Thanks
Can I ask where you have the rear buttons placed? I want to order one but I’m concerned about which location to place them compared to my fingers
Been waiting on a next gen pro controller.
Quick question? This controller is the top two “standard “placement and bottom 2 “lower” placement on their charts? Thank you!
Does BB use the stock sticks cuz the drift I got after 3 weeks of my 5 controller was ridiculous
Need that smartpad controller review
what do you think about thumbstick tension for people who get wrist pain from extended play?
What rear button placement did you choose?
Can you change out analog sticks once they acquire to much stick drift after time
I have a battle beaver love it !!!
Would you be willing to do a review on Nagashock Gaming controllers. They offer all of the BB customs but some extras for the ps4 controller.
I use DS4 windows with my PS5 controller, it works flawlessly with no input delay.
can’t waittt for the market to slow down a bit so i can grab one of these. i got my first battle beaver in 2017, about a year after my first scuf arrived in the mail, already broken and useless. i still use it every day; it’s in great condition. now i have two fully decked out, and they’re genuinely the best elite controllers i’ve ever owned. if anybody is on the fence about getting one, don’t be. the One con is For Sure the time it takes to get to you, but it’s well worth it once it arrives. especially if you’re used to scuf lmao (we all fell victim to the hype, don’t be ashamed)
I did in fact buy a scuf which is trash and only lasted like 2 months, sent it for a repair, lasted 1 more month and just wouldn’t turn on now. Tho I’m on the edge so now I have no good controller and you could say I play competitively on Call of duty Warzone. I’m on ps5 tho so should I buy a ps4 controller or wait until the ps5 drops and buy it? I’m closer to buy the ps4 tho because I can’t wait couple of months for the ps5 to drop.
@@saoud7655 imo if you’re playing competitively and can’t wait, you should just buy the ps4 controller, and sell it when you’re able to get a ps5. if you take good care of it, you should be able to get a pretty good re-sale price
@@saoud7655 i mean, make sure a ps4 controller would be compatible with your game though. i think if you are playing a ps4 copy you should be good
Just ordered my first one with 40% less tension in the sticks, a textures rear grip and XSX thumbsticks. I'm not a competitive player, I just wanna play games like Horizon and God of War without hand fatigue :D
Before even watching.... I've been waiting on this
After watching I really want it
Which button placement areas do you recommend
I wonder about the durability with stick drift. I had a ps4 battle beaver controller get uncontrollable stick drift after 6 months. I have already returned a ps5 standard controller for similar issues. I hope ps5 battle beavers have something to combat stick drift issues to increase longevity
The problem with this is, you have to buy one to find out what you like and what you don’t like. Position of buttons on back - how do I know if I want them standard, low high etc without actually having to buy one first.
Standard is middle finger, low is ring finger, and there is a pinky option as well.
I have a custom controller from battle beaver. They do a good job
So if I keep it stock, rumble it will still have haptic feedback, and the triggers will still have dynamic adaptive triggers?
yes
What joysticks do u recommend. I play COD and warzone. Should I get the interchangeable ?
I bought 1 for the ps4 thumb stick tension is ok . and there are pricey this time around i went with aim controller you get 4 buttons and smart trigger and bumpers with a support code 50 bucks cheaper than bbc .. Imo that's a great deal
Ordered my custom PS5 controller on March 3rd and they emailed me Sept 3 and said it's one the way. Tracking says Sept 9th. Sheesh it took forever! I am looking forward to it though. I dropped $235 on mine. BTW dope review! 👌🏿
6 months!? Wow.
Hey im new to custome controllers so idk what im doing yet lol but i went to the battle beaver site and all i could find was options for the ps4 controller. Am i just not looking in the right spot?
i was gonna get BB but went with AIM instead. that life warranty is what got me.
Life warranty? I dont even see that option
@@DatBoiRatchet you get it the moment you order it. shipping is covered the first 90 days. after that you pay shipping. plus they cover all parts
@@DatBoiRatchet it’s not something you have to buy. it’s already included
I was thinking about going with a Xbox series x controller because u can’t get the ps5 controller right now. I was going to get 4 back buttons and was wondering were I should get them placed. I was thinking the first 2 in the standard position and the second 2 in the lower position? Also I was wanting to get increased thumbstick tension and was wondering if I should get it on both thumbsticks or only on the thumbstick I aim with.
Great review man. I'm with you, I also prefer a lighter controller. Its way more comfortable with long gaming sessions and I personally don't even care about rumble. I don't own any Battle Beaver controllers but they seem pretty awesome.
My only issue that I am worried about is thr stick drift. Does battle beaver fix that issue?
Any thoughts of a ps5/Sony original elite controller?
Been trying to buy one for the last month it’s taking forever for them to put them up for sale again
