I bought an AIM controller after seeing your previous review. Within 2 weeks I had an issue with the Smart triggers. The left trigger kept sticking. I returned it to AIM, had the Smart triggers removed and got the controller back within 10 days. Fantastic customer service, and now I'm so happy with the controller. Definitely recommend the AIM.
Thank you for sharing your experience
After removing the smart triggers, do you still have the option of trigger stops?
My smart triggers are terrible but I do not want to use a custom controller with normal triggers ;(
Just giving another update on why to AVOID this company at all costs!
I just waited 1 month and 15 days for my controller to be repaired and returned to me.
I just received it today AND it is in worse shape than it was before!
The left trigger stop does not function whatsoever, and the trigger is completely faulty.. right out of the box again!
They clearly did not even test the controller prior to sending it back out to me.
I even paid an extra $15 for a rubber coating which was not even applied to my controller.
AIM has completely scammed me and told me there are no refunds, only repairs.
I just waisted $450 and 2 months of my time, and NEVER even have gotten to USE THE CONTROLLER! 💀
Horrendous left stick stick drift. Only had my Aim controller for 7 months.
I've had problems with Aim controllers since day 2 sent my controller back to the Aim when I got it back it worked good after a few days again I had another malfunction involving the back buttons and controller not being able to charge only working while plugged in. Ive sent it back more than 3 times and it's always the same they refuse to give me a new unit and take no accountability. Would not recommend.
I have 2 dual sense controllers. 1 standard and one custom (not from Aim). Neither have ever had a working battery, but I'm a wired guy so not a deal breaker. Both have left stick drift, one so bad that it will input a 180 degree turn around at random or completely ignore what I'm asking it to do.
Very nice review and really enjoying the content on my journey to find my next controller.
Ordered a fully loaded controller (using your code of course) on the 8th and it came on the 24th delivered to BC Canada!
Ace of spades in the backround... D2 fo life
I'd love to see you do a video on which controller has the best back paddles in your opinion
Yessss first Aimcon review!
I ordered mine (rose gold) on February 19tth, and just got it in on Tuesday, and it is amazing! I have another one I bought last year with the pro back like you showed, but no triggers, and the old version paddles, the new one is much better! Glad you got one and made a video because this is a game changer! I'm mad though, they sent me a 3' cable... not 10'.. it's useless.
Ima get aim I appreciate y'all for helping me pick between scof and this
Just bought one of these with your code. Hella excited to have a premium controller. Last one I owned was a scuf ps4 controller back in like 2015
a couple of examples of what im talking about with built in buttons are the SCUF REFLEX FPS or the duelsense edge with builtin back buttons.
on ds4 windows you can further optimize your controller by turning on force brings the avg error down to 1.3%
Solid review, see my dual sense edge got stick drift which I bought for the sole purpose of being able to swap the thumb modules only to find out that Sony is in some sort of lawsuit or something and you literally can't find the stick anywhere aside from scalpers on eBay. I sent the controller back to Sony for repair and unfortunately fortunately ups lost the damn thing in shipment and is cutting me a check for the price of the controller new, so I told myself I'm not going back to something that has potential for drift. After combing your content for reviews on all the ps5 pro controllers I'm sold on this one. Hall sticks, adjustable triggers, 4 back paddles, custom design, lifetime warranty, checks all the boxes. You sir have gained a subscriber. Good stuff!!
Hi man idk if you will see this message but I am looking to buy an Aim Controller, I actually have one with the V1 paddles but that has stick drift and is 3 years old now,
My concern I want to get the latest one but Top paddles on the V3 look gEd to press can you or anyone care to comment?
@@TheJigSawX well i just ordered mine, it has a 30 day build time due to the hall effect sticks they offer now so i wont have it in hand for my comment on the paddles, but my thought process: The triggers are adjustable for different game types similar to the edge I am moving on from and in the highest setting the triggers have a mouse click for fps games which ill be using a lot for destiny 2. They now added hall effect sticks which is why the build takes so long but just having hall effects ensures stick drift will never be a problem again (in theory) lol throw in the custom design and lifetime warranty, and the new aim controller was a no brainer in my opinion, when coming from a dual sense edge controller. No to mention easy remapping for the 4 paddles, if its weird at first ill just have to play with it long enough to get used to it.
@@rosschilds9627 ahh I got you!!
Like in this Video Gamerheaver showed us we can use our Middle finger to press all 4, but I have OCD about these things! 😂
I have used a lot of Customer Controllers from Battle Beaver, Scuf and Aim themselves back when PS5 Launched!
My fav Paddle design was from Scuf, all 4 are very easy to press and how you grip the controller isn’t impacted!
But everyone goes on about Aim and I did love their first iteration so Idk! 😅
Hall effect is a huge selling point for me but I also want to be comfortable using all 4 without any hindrance! 😅
I have the v3 paddles and dont like it, i like to press the 4 paddles with my four fingers and you only can use it with 2 fingers
I just order a xbox aimcontroller
Yeah the Dualsense Edge module replacements have apparently gone extinct. I refuse to pay 3-4x the price from the scalpers, some of whom are even trying to pass off knockoff/imitation modules, most likely from Ali Baba, on the pretext they are original PS Edge modules for 3-4x the normal price too.
I cant tell you enough how much i love your channel
Thank you for that
I've been glued to your show how they here watching it over and over again I was ready to order the BFG but what brought me here in the first place was the aim controllers. After reading the comments that people posted to this video I think I'm going to have to go BFG I was ready to get the aim based on your video. But your commenters have steered me back to BFG because aim does not cover the stick drift issue on their lifetime warranty activate good job
I own 2 aim controllers v1 and v2 (with upgraded v3 paddles) I love them, but both had problems within 9 months so lifetime warranty is handy. Repair process isn't as smooth as they make it out to be but if you have patience they'll get it fixed eventually.
Damn controllers has issues? That’s trash. What were the problems if you don’t mind me asking. How long did it take for them to repair and get back in hand
I have been trying to get an answer from there customer service for a month now on simply where to send my controller lol
@@GamerHeavenOfficial^^
@@zMayDAZE their shipping address/email is under the warranty tab on their website
Love the triggers on mine, but the upper paddle placement is bad, I just remove them and use the bottom two. I feel like my Scuff is higher quality, and it can hold 3 sets of unique binds that you can switch between on the fly making it nice if you use paddles in multiple games, and the upper back paddles are easy to toggle and I never hit them by accident like I do with my AIM Pro. AIM has great triggers while retaining the option for vibration though.
Nice review. I've got the V1 but got stick drift so wanted to get a new one. Unfortunately the new paddles seem terrible if one finger goes over two paddles
Almost 2 years with my v3 spider and no drift no nothing best controller i ever bought
2JZ...my man! 15:52 That deserves a "like" my friend. 👍🏾
A fellow car guy I see
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Yes indeed! Cars and games go together like peanut butter & jelly. Creamy of course. 🤣
Killer video brother, love to see it, hope you're doing well!
I’ve been doing pretty good recently , hope you’ve been well
Looking into one of these now. They are offering hall effect joysticks now. Would love to see you review it with the new hardware
Just bought one but won’t get it for 30 days so we will see
I couldn't wait either lol. I already ordered one on the 6th
@RumpleSkillzSkin you every get your controller yet? I've been waiting 6 weeks at this point lmao! Hope it's a quality product for the quantity of time I've been waiting lol. Good luck folks!
I’ve used AIMs warranty 4 times. I am very hard on controllers, it’s that king fu grip. I’ve broken paddles and tiggers. They warranty every time without hassle. It always takes about 2 weeks from me sending out to receiving back.
Paid over €400 for mine with every bell and whistle I could put on it! Been sent back twice within 10 months for repairs and has now broke again not 2 months later!! Shame because I absolutely love the controller it’s amazing. So the controller perks and features 1000000/10. Reliability -1000000/10
Best feeling paddle controller I’ve owned and I’ve had many different ones. However I’ve had to send mine in 3 times due to the paddles failing .
After your mega Ps5 pro/custom controller video in the future will you also do an updated ranking video for Xbox custom/pro controllers including battle beaver, SCUFF, AIM, HYPR, HEX, and any other pro custom controllers. Maybe even ranking the best paddles/back buttons out of all those as well! Thanks
Have the AIMCON PRO from the left over Kickstarter campaign and it's definitely awesome.
The back button placement is my number one concern for a pro controller. It’s gotta be near perfectly ergonomic for me. That’s why I went with the Victrix bfg. I absolutely don’t regret it either. (If the edge had 4 buttons I would have gone with it.)
I watched damn near all of of your pro ps5 controller reviews. I was thinking about going with the ones with actual buttons on the back, but they had different placement options that I had no idea if they would work for me. I didn’t want to pay 200+ for one and the button placement that I chose be in the wrong place.
The bfg isn’t a perfect controller but I’ve had no issues with it after 10 weeks so far. I love it.
I really hope you can get your hands on the “Besavior” controller by Beloader. The back paddles on it look very ergonomic.
I would also love to his review on this controller also
The BFG is probably the most ergonomic controller on the entire market rn. If they add shift key functionality like the Elite Series 2, it'll be the uncontested best controller of all time.
Right out of the box it’s a really impressive controller. Within a month however I was getting inconsistent feedback from one of the bottom paddles in a four configuration. I went to take it off to have a look at it and it just snapped off at the tip. Saying I was shocked is an understatement. I’m asking for replacement paddles. We’ll see if that changes the input response
Wow that’s frustrating , sounds like a pair of replacement paddles will fix the issue , I think Aim would honor that and send replacements
@@GamerHeavenOfficial 🤞
@@ryanbailey107how did it go? Did they give you spairs?
@@ryanbailey107any update?
@@iSEEcereal Aim have replaced my paddles when requested. Since my original post however, i've been through three bottom right paddles (in a four paddle configuration). Must be all that crouch spamming in Apex...
I bought an Aim Controller after your last review/video. The only issue was the packaging. The plastic that holds the controller in the box was totally destroyed, but luckily the controller was fine. The controller is the best controller i have ever used, and i have 25+ controllers in total + all the controllers i owned before the xbox 360/ps3 era. Would recommend this controller to everyone. Might even buy another one, to get the new trigger stops!
Also, would totally recommend getting the Razer universal grips. The big hexagon grips fits very well on the triggers for more grip, and the smaller ones fit on the 4 back buttons/pedals.
Question 🙋 is it true that controllers like this have less input lag latency than regular ps5 controllers? Asking because there’s no way in hell we are paying 200-300 just for the back paddles and the design of the controller . Is there a responsive time difference? When playing cod with the controller
@@khalilcruz5816 they use the original PS5 controller to mod, so the connection should be the same.
@@Zyanide09 and how do they mod the regular controller? If u mean overclocking ?
@@khalilcruz5816 by adding buttons and i believe a small PCB to let you remap those back buttons. Also they can change the normal buttons to digital/clicky ones. Its a luxury item.
@@Zyanide09 so let me ask. From a regular controller to the aim. Did it bring out a better gamer and help u get more kills? Talking strictly gameplay because before I buy I wanna make sure it will help my hands feel better and gameplay
Got mine today... all Tactical buttons.. my L2 button sticks and makes me zoom constantly. I have to unlock the trigger and relocate it to get it off. I contacted them tonight. Love the controller and have o ly used it for maybe two hours. I hope I do t have to send it back already..
Awesome video man, love all your stuff for the most part.. you've convinced me that I should bite the bullet on one of these. I'm wondering though, can you choose which extra caps you get? If I build a custom controller with two standard caps, will I get a med and/or high option in the box as the extras? Not seeing an option to choose which one's you want on the side in the builder..
No unfortunately you choose your main sticks and from what I've always seen they have a little ziplock baggie with 4 extra caps, actually on their new aimback pro models the box now has slots to hold the extra caps. hopefully this answered you :)
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Copy. I plan on mentioning to them what I'm hoping for in the comments section you get when ordering.. hopefully that works. Thanks again and keep up the good work, brother!
Never had a problem with stick drift till this Generation of PS aka the PS-5 controller
Bros videos are the best so entertaining
When I bought mine on the 3rd it didn't give me options for remapping or smart triggers and it looked like it had the trigger stops on it. Are they already rolling out the new triggers stop systems now?
The biggest issue with this controller is that backpaddles break easily. My paddles broke within 6 weeks. Of course they send me new paddles so it’s just annoying that I had to go a week without the paddles. Another thing I don’t like is tha placement of the back paddles since one finger goes over two paddles at the same time. This can take some time to get used to. Another thing is the triggers with the fast trigger switch. They tend to hurt my finger when I use them a lot. What I do like however is that you can easily switch the left and right thumbstick. Another good thing is the lifetime warranty (not for stickdrift). I have been using this controller for 10 weeks and the paddles have broken twice. Other than that I haven’t had any stickdrift and the controller works fine. It also only took me 5 days to replace the backpaddles so they have great costumer service.
wow, very well played by this company. they're very aware of the stick drift issue in controllers in general, so of course they don't add stick drift/thumb sticks under the warranty policy. and the thumb sticks are EASILY one of the most vulnerable parts on any controller. what a cheeky little company ehh, they want you to spend $200+ for a custom controller that will inevitably fail to stick drift and be rendered useless afterwards. just for you to go back and buy another custom controller for $200+ again ... what a joke. why would anyone want this over the DualSense Edge which has removable/replaceable thumb sticks, so that whenever stick drift is an issue, it's just an easy fix and not costing $200+ to replace, more like around $50 for new thumb sticks
I’d love one of these but if I’m spending hundreds on one they really need to show some actual photos of what each design looks like when it’s applied to a controller, at least the main faceplates choices anyway. Plus I’m not paying £32 for shipping, that is not happening either.
are the aim also good for the xbox? thinking of buying an aim controller for the xbox or should i jst go elite serires
I did just buy the Hall effect from aim back too but is going to take 30 day to have it but can you review it in your Chanel and what you think
Well, I guess I ordered one yesterday... And got it with 100e discount with their birthday code, so if anyone is buying, best time to buy ever.
Lmk how’s the durability?
@@trueformoblivion8557 Got it a week ago. So far looks really well made and has a premium feel.
It is a little bigger or thicker as the normal dualsense tho.
Will update in a few months.
Lifetime Warranty is just for modules that company changes so if you get stick drift, then you have no warranty for that after 90 days from delivery. I've just checked that with them.
Yeah the stick drift is a BIG dealbreaker. Why the fuck am I going to spend $200+ on a customized controller, while they offer "Lifetime Warranty" that won't even cover the stick drift issue which is INEVITABLE?!! What a joke
Sorry but the lifetime warranty is literally USELESS, because it doesn’t cover stick drift! I already went through 2 stock ps5 controllers due to BAD stick drift, ended up just buying the dual sense edge due to the swappable modules
Would I be able to use the touch pad and the paddles through steam independently as keyboard keys etc like the elite 2 ? 👀
Made me buy it. I love you
I hope you enjoy it my friend
@@GamerHeavenOfficial your amazing bro
I remember a time before back paddles, it forced me into claw gripping the controller for everything.
Love this comment, me too Josh. good ol' claw grip
@GamerHeavenOfficial my natural position is still messed because of it, my index naturally wants to curve to the Face Buttons
Do they make controllers that you can configure a button pattern, such as hold L1 and press right on the D-pad with the use of only one button?
I went and built a x box controller and they don’t have tactile button option unfortunately and no button mapping option. Unfortunately I’ll stick with my core for now. They definitely seem to favor the ps controllers
For anyone interested in an Aim Controller with the Hall effect sticks - I reached out to ask about warranty coverage and whether these would be covered under the warranty. The representatives told me that the warranty terms for the Hall Effects are still being finalized and the site should updated by the time the first batch of units heads out in mid-April. So early adopters might not know, and others will have to wait to see what they decide.
I can’t find anything mentioned about the Hall effect on their website
Hey, is it possible to find out if AIM will potentially be opening a shop in the UK?
I’d like a controller with only 2 shoulder buttons (r1&r2) since I only use my index and not both index and middle for shoulder pressing
Super cool looking control for sure, do you prefer it over the edge?
I like them both, but yes I prefer my aim
Now they have Hall Effect sticks !
Hey Kevin - I know you said you love the dpad, but curious how well it pivots? I'm worried about it being four separate microswitches, so I'm curious if the dpad has a pivot at all or is just separate buttons.
No its not separate buttons, but they do feel different with that clickity sound.
Are the back paddles reachable comfortably or Isit offset slightly ?
THANK YOU!!!!
You’re welcome
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Well done soldier! This was right on time as mine came in the mail yesterday. I’d like to think Aim was waiting on me to receive my controller before they let you review it. You weren’t lying when you said it’s dope af! After finding myself underwhelmed by the Dualsense Edge, this is finally the controller to end all controllers.
On ds4windows there’s an option to force max output. Makes your average error on ps controller a 3.0 circular on controller tester
What does this mean? I have ds4 does it improve the controller or something?
@@khalilcruz5816 it makes the analog more circular. I have it on default now unchecked
I’m still in between tbis or the Edge I like the option to change modules while make for longer lasting use no drift but I like the mouse click tactile triggers and being able to swap between regular for different games on the fly this would be a hard decision
Love my aim but get the edge. Less features but the swapable thumbsticks is the best feature ever made for a pro controller
@@gahaylongplays7033 that’s what keeps having me come back to watching dualsense Edge reviews because I think the same also I’m use to two back buttons and Iike the fact it has a trigger lock system where you still get to enjoy the haptics but also get a shorter pull of the triggers even though it’s not like a mouse click or that short of a pull I’ve heard no complaints on it even the whole battery life thing with being a casual gamer who doesn’t play more than a few hours and then charge it before I come off it’s not gonna make a difference to me
Get the Edge, only 90 days warranty for stick drift on Aim controllers 👎
bought my aim controller before the redesigned site , went to the new one just now I cant see the option for remapable paddles
Do you think that buttons(X, circle, square, triangle) being mechanical would cause a loss of sensibility in games like fifa 23? In the way that you press more or less if you want a stronger or higher shot. In mechanical buttons seems to me that you dont get a benefit with the instant mechanical click, i cant see any calibration for those buttons. Does that make sense? im about to buy a pro controller and i love the review of this aim, but im tended to buy dualsense edge due. If you could give me any thoughts on that would be awesome! Thanks a mill!
I would say get the dualsence edge, specially for race and sports games.
@gamer heaven Would you have any idea on why I can't overclock my controller to 1000hz with binterval 1. It only shows up as binterval 4 but I can overclock it to binterval 1 with 8000hz but at 8000hz I get way more outliers.
Hi there,
I'm looking to get into the competitive scene with Street Fighter 6.
Would you say this is a good option or maybe can you recommend another controller that's best compromise of functionality/budget?
Thank you!
If you like fighting games I recommend the victrix bfg ps5. It allows to have 6 buttons while also converting back into a functional pro controller
Works perfectly idk what y’all yapping about thank you! 😂🔥
I would really like if someone replied to me because I’m thinking of buying a AIM controller and wanted to know how long the shipping time takes?
I dont even use controllers but I always watch your content.
Thank you
I purchased a ps5 aim controller and within 4 months, the left aimstick slot that you put the aimstick in on the controller broke so I could no longer have a left aimstick.
I purchased a Aimcontroller over a year ago and also got the case for safe keeping, I put the controller aside with minimal use and a year later L1 clicky trigger failed "stopped working" so back to Aim it went paid for shipping there and back also had to pay $30 bucks cause it has been over 90 days of ownership "lol lifetime warranty" all good cause i really like the controller I purchased, Now here's what all end users need to know... they use DHL for shipping "Horrible" keep all your receipts upon purchase including all documentation from shipping and Duties paid or else if your controller is ever to be shipped out for warranty repair upon return you will have to pay Duty fees "again... NO!" but if you have the proper documents they wave the duty fees "Its just a pain in the nuts trying to get DHL to understand it", so warranty repair out of pocket total $34 dollars CAD ship out cost, $30 USD 90 plus days of ownership repair, $30 USD Shipping return, Total for warranty repair is $115 CAD, Great Controller minimal use 1 failure pretty much half way there on purchasing a new custom controller after warranty repair.
Duty fees if you just wanna go ahead and pay was $27 CAD
How much was your controller in CAD?
I’m looking into getting my first ps5 pro controller, and I’m going back and forth between Aim and the dual sense edge. Given no prior experience with them, and my games I’ll be using it most for is stuff like Apex, COD, Fortnite, DBD, etc, would one outshine the other in a meaningful way or is there a breakout for an initial purchase?
If you can use 2 paddles the edge is really nice… I can’t I gotta have 4 so aim is the way plus the best customer service
Dont buy this shit! When you Need Only 2 paddles buy the Dual Sense
@@JustinMentionedItare the back 4 buttons easy to press
I’m confused. In your video I see the switches to change R2/L2 from instant to adaptive, but on their customization page it isn’t an option. I can’t even see a controller with those switches in any of the pictures. It’s a pretty important feature for me to have. Did they do away with it since this video? Or am I completely stupid 😅
It comes with the controller whether you want it or not essentially free
Still using my ps4 aimcontroller since 2019 never had any problems with it and orderd a ps5 one now as my ps4 aimcontroller has had its best time now.
Great controllers
Question brodie. So I’m thinking of buying one. I play on pc. My question is for 200-300 bucks besides the back paddles….and the custom design..what else am I paying for? I heard it has less input lag/latency and better response times than regular controller. If that’s true I’ll buy it but for just back paddles and design that’s not worth 200 -300 bucks
@@khalilcruz5816 well a ps5 controller has def less input delay then a ps4 so, and other brands also ask 200-300 bucks for a controller with back paddles, you can remap them and for me it was a big deal that I could remap my R3 button to a back paddle, I have other controllers that only can remap buttons, so that’s different from most controllers.
Never had a scuf , I’ve had battle beaver, NMR and aimcontroller and for me aimcontroller lasted very long
@@khalilcruz5816honestly the biggest thing your buying are the hall effect sticks which eliminates the possibility of stickdrift
Please do a video on Hypr’s new hall Effect thumbsticks!!!
I bought a v3 and after getting it the four triggers seem like a lot I only really need two back there. I’m new too these I’ve only ever used default PlayStation controllers.
I am new too these @GamerHeaven but I think I am setting it up wrong I only need the drop shot and the jump button for Warzone. I am not sure how too remap it that well. And maybe remove two triggers.
I've experienced stick drift on every single controller I've owned, the lifetime warranty is almost worthless if it doesn't cover the main issue that occurs with controllers. I was gonna buy one until I learned this. The only other thing that has failed on 2 of my elites is the right bumper. Big pass until they add modular thumbsticks or start covering thumbstick drift. Great video though !
If you have experienced stick drift on every controller you’ve owned. Some fuckery is ahfoot for sure.
Right! Dont buy this garbage again! These guy here became Money Form aim
They just got Hall effect , so these are officially the best pro controllers.
My pause button also has this issue. Seems to be a common thing.
I just built one, it seems like the left joystick I can only pick small, medium or large. Right one has a standard size... what would be the standard size in the small medium and large section?
Small
Do they come with different night thumb sticks ?
I have had 3 or 4 different Aim controllers now, I got my first one when the ps5 first came out and my most resent one in summer of 2022. all of the controllers have had issues with both paddles being broken and svere stick drift, the stick drift is not a big deal imo but the paddle being broken is! This might be because i have only had the spider v1 and spider v2 remapping paddles and meybe buildquality isn't the best idk. i Just wanted to comment this so ppl know that the paddles do give out fearly quick. NB! I only play Apex legends and is top 750 pred every season so my play time is on the higher end but nothing extreme.
other than that the controller is grate just wish the paddles actually lasted.
just bought one there's an anniversary sale for half off customs , couldn't pass it up
Will Aim be making an controller just like this one for the Xbox?
Hey man just recently found your channel, and I’m loving the content and all the controller reviews. I’m stuck on the fence between the aim and the DualSense edge, as I LOVE and I mean LOVE all the features the aim comes with, but I’m worried about it being dis functional or such when I get it. With the edge I do love the replaceable stick modules, but the 2 paddles is a very big no no for me. I also do like how it integrates into the PS5 and you can modify the sensitivity for each stick and all that like with the Elite series. With all of your knowledge and experience testing and using these controllers, which would you get if you had to choose between one? Sorry for such a long comment 😅
Did you ever get an answer?
Yo Kevin, can you recommend replacement universal USB C cables for controllers?
Here you go :
amzn.to/42Xow9I
Omg I don’t know witch one to get😭😭 people keep saying the Victrix isn’t worth it and feel cheap, then you got the hexgaming one people say it’s not worth it cause the buttons on the back are to small, then you got cinch gaming and I’ve been told the buttons are to easy to click then the scuff don’t even get me started with how many people telling me there mid and over rated i don’t even know witch one to get no more I would get the edge but it only has 2 back paddles
What Lifetime warranty? My joystick stated tweekong out hard, so they quoted me 150$ USD after shipping to replace it. I can just about buy a new one.
The old back paddles got so loose that they barely work anymore. Also the back grip is falling off and looks very stained. But maybe the new paddles work better.
ALSO I bought the longer thumbsticks, but those thumbsticks would easily fall off...... so I had to glue it on. But then I noticed their thumbsticks literally were wearing right off and disintegrating, leaving tiny pieces of colored rubber all over my hands and play area. I had to pit aftermarket covers onto them to stop that wear.
Overall, extremely unimpressed.
If you're planning to only use it on PC though, is it a good buy?
Personally I think so
@@GamerHeavenOfficial thank you so much for responding! Great video. I assume the DS4 program would be a must correct?
Does it still have the adaptive triggers even with the slider to change to triggers or does it remove the feature
No still has it
Where on earth is the game heaven faceplate on the aim site? I can’t find it to buy it?
You are reviewing one of the ones you can just order right? You didn’t custom build this?
Correct, but I also do a tour of their builder aswell
I'm trying to figure out how you got to around 150 bucks? I put the code in and that shit says 214.40 before tax
AIM is 100% the best no question I’ve had multiple elites they broke after months. Battle beaver broke. Evil, broke. The only one that hasn’t broke is the aim and I’ve had it the longest out of the others
They can't move the paddles to the handles because of the middle shell of controllers and motors
So these new AIM controllers also have adaptive triggers for first party titles? If thats correct thats huge.
Looks like it's an actual DualSense controller at it's base that AIM modifies, so yes.
Stuck between this and the edge. As my ebay-made gen 1 pro controller has begun to develop some sick drift. "sick was intentional... Anyway, I cant wait to see your title match video comparing all the big boys. Hopefully able to make an informed decision afterward.
Primary upside for edge are the thumb stick modules. And Back buttons.
Adjustable triggers seem better on the Aim...? And Clicky buttons. And Aesthetics.
Tough decision with the promo code making them about even in cost... or at least close enough to consider equally.
One of the coolest (and underrated) features of the edge is that the rear buttons can actually be used as 2 brand new extra buttons, instead of having to remap them to replace the face buttons as is the case with Aim and others.
@@bonanzabrandon6877Very good observation, you make a good point
Maybe it's meant to be held with index and middle fingers on triggers and bumpers at the same time not just index on both. Btw 'pause' button is very important for CoD and you know it. So it could be game breaking.
My scuff’s screen capture button is the same way. I think it’s more of a PlayStation defect
But my other scuf doesnt, you just gotta get lucky to have the hard to click button
You think is better than the ModdedZone one ?
Hey controller captain, can you do a review of the gamesir t4 pro?
Yes I can
@@GamerHeavenOfficial great, when I first started watching you and you said in your reviews "this will be the definitive and most complete review of this controller on youtube" I thought you were just another dude that was full of himself, but after watching other reviews and putting them in comparison I was like, damn, he's right
Let’s go!!!!!!!🎉
Do lifetime warranty actually works?
We so badly, need you to just do a collaboration with a company. All the best, none of the rest. Take me monies
they have Those fans that have no blades so they make no noise but cool your room like a box fan. you should get one for when you do video. little expensive but worth it.
Which one would you choose between this controller and the dual sense edge?
Damn that’s a close one , the aim takes it overall though
Thank you. I have the edge but am really intrigued with the aim because of the 4 back paddles and digital buttons
Anything that can activate gyro motion by holding down L2 similarly to the armor X pro for Xbox does?
hey bro I have 3 scuff ps5 im looking to get an aim im just worried the back paddles are not comfortble...how are you getting on with them ??
