Don’t Buy A Custom PS5 Controller Until You Watch This.

I bought a SCUF Vantage for my PS4. The only issue I had to deal with was the analog stick recall. I was getting hella stick drift, and when I contacted them, their customer service was extremely nice and polite about resolving my issue. They also informed me about the recall and helped me with all the paperwork. Which was great since I have difficultly writing and filling out forms due to my Cerebral Palsy. Everything was repaired for free, including shipping since I was still within my warranty. The only complaints that I have about SCUF are that they discontinued the entire Vantage line without having a similar replacement available, nor did they have a similar design for PS5. They also discontinued all of the accessories. So, I can't get replacements for anything that breaks over time, like trigger covers. My trigger covers cracked, now those buttons constantly stick because the cover gets jammed. I asked for new ones from SCUF, only to find out that everything was discontinued, and VERY RECENTLY at the time. It was still listed on their website, along with some accessories, but not what I needed. That was the first controller I had that made gaming TRULY ACCESSIBLE FOR ME. Before the Vantage, I discovered that there were some games I just couldn't play. OR, I would have a good start then get stuck at some point because I physically couldn't do the controller movements necessary to continue on with the game. They could have at least kept certain accessories that were prone to damage, like trigger covers, available for replacement parts. Not even with all the colors, I'd be happy with black; I just want the controller that I paid so much damn money for TO WORK PROPERLY FFS! They don't even have to be on the storefront, just available through asking Customer Service/Support. Like what Bose does for the covers of their earbuds. If you lost the rubber covers, which are the parts going inside your ear; you can contact customer service and they would send you a replacement set. The replacements were free at first, last time I got a set, they charged me between $5-$10 which wasn't bad compared to the resellers on eBay.

I love the fact that you went through and rated every single one with your honest opinion.!!! Great work!! Can’t wait for the next video!!

I couldn’t have found a better video for the information I was looking for. I’m so picky about my controllers and after switching from Xbox one X to PS5, I expected to love the PS5 controller because when I played PS4 on occasion, it was the perfect controller for me as far as size and feel. Didn’t think the next gen would be THAT different, but I really hate the stock PS5 controller. I love things about it but the size and slippery plastic is awful. It’s time to invest in a good custom paddle/back button controller for my PS5. Gave it a fair shot and played for a good while but I still just don’t feel right with it. I used several different controller types on Xbox and I’m really looking forward to getting a much better fitting PS5 controller for me. And this video was perfect for everything I was wondering about. Thanks man. You got a sub for sure.

Good work definitely shared it with my buds. Thanks for the reviews

I've never had a problem with the extreme rate in building my own controllers plus giving you the confidence and the know how as well Along the way

Thanks for the vid. I’ve been thinking about getting an aim for a while. Paddle placement is super important to me and based on other controllers I’ve used I know I’ll love aim’s. I just don’t wanna deal with waiting. I’d love to go with the 4 paddle/button hex but I don’t like how they’re next to each other instead of on top of each other. I’ll probably just end up waiting to decide which company to go with until my current controller becomes unusable

Short answer customize your controller yourself.Hex is owned by extremerate which provides parts for everyone but Scuf.The stick drift is a hardware defect in the launch models that can be fix with electronic cleaning spray or have it replace if stock by Sony.Shipping time is from waiting on parts is probably cause they all get parts from extremerate/hex which is a overseas company most likely.

Putting aside what I had to say in my other comments, great vid. I really appreciate the in depth look into these comparisons and the tiered rankings. It earned a like and a sub.

Couldn't agree more in regards to BattleBeaver... I've dealt with them and their controllers on numerous occassions and when it comes to their ship times, they're ABSOLUTELY ABYSSMAL. And one thing you didn't mention but I personally found issue with was the "Beaver-Boost" LOTTERY!? I don't see how this is a sustainable business model nor do I think it's ethical, frankly. If you're going to offer a expedited service IT SHOULD be offered EXCLUSIVELY to those furthest back in your queue FIRST and/or returning customers. Not, "hey login at this time, on this day, and hopefully beat everyones else to checkout, and you can have your controller next week rather than 8mos from now, even though we've already had your money for 4-5mos now"..? imho. Also, Great video btw!

I love my Hex Ultimate... The buttons have held up perfectly... as for the back grip... I went with the spatter vs pro grip... I also prefer the weight of the rumbles... So in all... I think it hit the top... but the scuff does interest me... Thanks for the vids.

Good sir, you absolutely convinced me to subscribe. Great content, thanks for the guide and taking several for the team with all those controllers lol

I'm considering the Reflex FPS. I've got a few SCUF controllers and honestly they are great. I had a button issue with my Impact Pro which SCUF did fix but because of lockdown it look a month but it's been solid ever since, over 2 years of COD and it's still as good as ever. Also got an Instinct Pro and that's amazing too. I will say their coatings do tend to peel easy and quick and their colors don't quite match the renders and I wish they did better there as these are expensive options sometimes. If you look after your controller it should last mechanically, even if you play a lot of FPS but cosmetic wear will occur. But it you rage quit and throw your controller like WingsOfRedemption, yeah that sucker ain't gonna last long!

Seeing as I’m in the market for a Turbo controller this video hit the spot. Keep them coming!

I purchased a Scuf Reflex Pro in Blue yesterday during their latest drop. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. I never had any issues with my Scuf Vantage 2 for the PS4. I know people say Scuf durability isn’t the greatest but 1. How do you treat your controller? 2. Corsair purchased Scuf so quality control is better and 3. It’s literally a PS5 stock controller modded by Scuf so the durability with just naturally be better. I gotta wait until May 12th to get my Reflex Pro but I’m excited to get it. None of these other controller companies come close to Scuf when it comes to longevity.

What's the difference between the rival and the ultimate? Website doesn't really say. Is the only difference the buttons on the back? Great video!!!

Love your videos and reviews. I’ve heard a lot of people trash the Cinch controllers but can you review the Cinch, Evil and Razor controllers for PS5? Also how are you using the A50’s on PS5? The adapter cuts 120fps to 60fps… I bought the Steel Series 7P and they’re great.

So far I love my Aim controller. Feels very well built. I’ve never had any issues with the buttons so far.

Master Chief should not be holding those controllers bro - this video as a whole is the ULTIMATE PS5 Controller Buying Guide though. I love it and wouldn’t buy a controller without seeing this first. Great video for anyone looking at picking up a new stick.

I like the video, but I have to disagree about the hex ultimate. I absolutely love it, the k1/k2 is designed to bend, which i like cuz it's like springy.. and clicky.... but also, I like the pro grip feel as well, but that's all preference. I don't so much like luxury over performance, and the pro grip to me is like velcro to my hand. The scuf back to me has that licked though, it both has luxury and comfort BUT longevity on the Scuf is already breaking down. The rubber is losing the little nubs, like its becoming smooth rubber... 3 weeks of solid call of duty play and it's going bald (in performance tires terms) which I can say that the Hex (or extremrate) pro grip has been through many more hours and looks and feels just like it did back in October.. again, my personal preference. I have not got the AIM in yet... waiting..... and waiting.... um.. you get the point. Anyway, love the video, thanks man!

Watching this a year later and wow. You grew a lot keep up the good work

Thanks for this video

There are tons of aim controllers on Amazon that’ll ship in 2-4 days. I did notice the ratings went down since I bought my aim controller. The ratings when I bought the controller went from 4.5/5 to 3.7/5, and I bought my controller in July 2021. Then I went back to buy an Aim controller for PS5 when I noticed the 3.7/5 rating. I never had a problem with the paddle system, if I remember correctly, but I also didn't do much customization to it because I bought it on Amazon, not their website. The only problem with it was my down d-pad button broke to where I couldn't use it in-game. I purchased a Scuf in 2018. My first issue was the wait time. I think I had to wait 2-3 months to receive it. Then when I finally got it, I had it for maybe a month, tops. It broke in the stupidest way possible. I took the paddles off by following the RU-vid and paper directions. Then when I put them back on, they never responded the same. Then eventually didn't respond at all. I wasn't about to wait another three months for repairs. All in all, I liked the Aim controller better.

Which controller do you recomend for smaller hands based on ergonomics? I find the dualsense uncomfortable, too big Thanks

Did Sony send you 1 of the DualSense Edge pro controllers to review? I have it Pre-ordered, but not sure if I'm going to like the paddles on it. I have every color of the OEM PS5 controllers, all of them are now modded with different faceplate, buttons, etc. And added Extremerate paddles on all of them. I'm still not happy, so it's between Scuf Reflex pro, Aim, DualSense Edge, or HexGaming. I do like how you can order thumbsticks for $19.99 at Playstation, and easily swap out the entire Thumb stick. Just trying to get everyone's opinion. Thanks

What’s your opinion on the SCUF now that there is more customization and they are easier to get than before @Out Of The Box ?

Battle beaver were poor with me when I asked for a none insured and none extortionate shipping price for springs for analogue sticks, like literally the spring were around £10 and the shipping was like £80 and they sent me a generic response then when I emailed back they didn't reply, surely they could send them standard post

I recently received my hex rival and been using it for a couple days now. Feels good although the paddles do feel a tad bit mushy, but it doesn’t bother me much and still overall a great controller. I’ve actually been thinking about returning it though and exchanging it for their ultimate as I think the extra 2 buttons would come in handy for when I game. Would it be worth it? If so would the procedure to do the exchange cost extra and easy to do so?

I personally love Hex Controllers their design options and customer service are Amazing. I just recently got a Colorware Controller and I really like it but I did have to put a decal on the Share & Option button and the PS home button because they don't allow you to edit it

Have you reviewed the aim 4 paddle controller? I’m thinking about going with the aim new controller there is a guy that did aim review 4 paddle on RU-vid and he’s saying it’s good the back buttons are way different. Have you gotten this controller?

And now compare them to the extremerate kits for ps5. Costs 1/3 of the price including controller and you be able to fix everything yourself

have you done a video on ps4 controllers ? i got a scuf 3 months ago and some games it’ll stop sprinting

Which one do you guys recommend for PES 2021, FIFA23, 2k NBA PS5?

Got myself a reflex FPS. Set me back quite a bit. Not even 4 months in, my L2 trigger stopped functioning. They offered to get it repaired, since it’s still in warranty. Be warned though, you only get 6 months warranty. Prolly because they are aware these triggers will break fast. I’d like to add that I take care of my controllers. Wash my hands before a session, clean it every week and generally clean my desk every day. For such a steep price, I’d expect more. This controller costs half of my console. To have a trigger break do fast, worries me.

You did a great job with this man

I’m looking for a modded controller with rapid fire and recoil control cheats opinions on where from I’m trying to decide between evil controllers and modded zone mainly any others?

Appreciate this brotha

Great video! Like the ranking system you have going on. I do believe the warranty is a big issue. I’ve owned and scuf control for my PS3, battle beaver and Aim with PS4. One another one that I liked as well was Cinch Gaming controller for the PS4. Looking to get a modded controller for the PS5. This video was a big help, just wish you reviewed the Cinch controller as well. I know you were a big component for the rumbles to be removed, and the cinch PS5 only comes WITHOUT rumbles. Also they let you send in your own controller for a cheaper price. Let me know what you think or if you’ve looked into them and didn’t like there products. Anyways thanks for the vid have a good one!

So the hex controller do you still use to this day ? If so hows the performance is there any issues lately ? Im just looking into buyin a controller with paddles like i used to have on ps4 my scuff controller

What's the difference between these controllers and the regular PS5 controller? Is it because of the look? Additional buttons?

I hope you see this buried have a question about the hex rival controller on their website you can either customize it or it has the premium edition and I was wondering is it the same thing or even better then the customize one or the same?

LOL At 17:36 you can see that they used the eXremeRate Rise 2.0 mod kit for the back buttons on the Hex Rival controller. I mean, that's okay, I guess. (I'm considering that mod, myself.) But now I'm guessing that the other mods they do are 3rd party kits and you might want to check and see how much those would add up to and decide whether it's worth it to pay whatever extra to have those guys do the mods for you.

Great Video!!

Have you tried the Defy controllers? Nice customisation options, but haven’t seen many reviews on them… In the market for my first ever Custom Controller, and want to pick the right one

Great content as always brotha! I have a question not sure if you answer it. Which controller do you preferably enjoy the most utilizing competitively?? I think you may mentioned the Hex Ultimate but wanted to hear your answer.

i like custom controllers, but what i like more is customizing it myself, my own designs and by now i know everything under the ps5 controller the company i use most for my controllers are extremerate on amazon they also have a website, i have been buying parts of them since the early ps4 days when they just started i have had a couple of issues were parts dont fit, contacting them was easy and reply was quick with in a couple of days i had new parts i dont know if its because it went through amazon or not but if you like building controllers i would highly recommend ExtremeRate

Asking for 10k subs, you got 200k now! Gz

BattleBeaver and Cinch Gaming are fantastic, if you prefer back-buttons over paddles.

Can you review the aim back pro controller from aim with stock thumbsticks and the rubberized back grips?

Great video, I have an Aim controller and I love it but I've had that same issue with the trigger three times now. There are alot more customizations now too but still the reliability is SUS

As a note for further videos, you've made this so high scores mean a better controller for all other metrics but for some reason a high score on price indicates a worse controller. So the score at the end is muddied by that. The highest priced controllers score the best and will place higher than they should

I have had a lot of controllers for competitive FPS. There is only one controller that I could not recommend. And that's battle beaver. first off I've never had any problems with a controller in the first year except for battle beaver. I've been gaming for around 10 years and not one has failed in anyway within one year. Except for battle beaver. Two of the back button stopped working and as you know their warranty is unbelievably trash. Even if you pay $30 for the extended warranty it only last four months. And that's how long the back button stopped working. So I got screwed, pretty lame. I don't have a recommendation for what to buy but here is a huge tip. If it's possible, buy/order from Walmart. They offer 2 to 3 year warranty's for around 20 bucks. Absolutely unbeatable. And that warranty covers basically any problem you have. Good luck

Hahaha I couldn't stop laughing . Same thing is happening to me I just can't shoot like 80% of time when I'm about to shoot . I've called them but no respond yet from aimcontroller. I have a question I might get the scuf . Do you have one with smart trigger on that and should I go with smart triggers or just doesn't matter

After the look at scufs page they have HUNDREDS of customization options so I might end up leaning with that over the others

whats the best controller for jump shot & dropshot

Which one of those controller that compatible in ps4 and ps5, also pc?

Can you get a back button attachment yet for Ps5 ? Would much rather something I could clip onto my controller

My man delivering the goods!

Can’t wait to see the next controller saga!

My decked out BB got unplayable drift after 2 months of light use. Super disappointing considering wait time and price.

I was pretty impressed with the eSwap Thrustmaster. I’m on PC and prefer PlayStation configuration and the Thrustmaster lets you swap out the dpad and thumbsticks to be PlayStation or Xbox configuration. If I thumbstick gets bad just buy a new one and easily swap it out. The only issue I’ve had is the handles are a bit thin so the grip can be uncomfortable until your hands get used to it. I think I spent $150 and pretty good value

The Hex Rival controller is just using Extremerate hardware. You'd might as well buy the parts from Extremerate and put it together yourself. Bare minimum you have more customization and, you get a little diy experience.

can u test the aim controllers ps5 controller?

What about evil controllers they are one of the oldest custom controllers very similar to Battle Beaver with a 1 week delivery.

I have some lower quality random company ps5 controller and I like these tiny little button located in the perfect spot for me. I bought a hex controller and I have it about a week to force my self to like the controller but the buttons on the bottom are way to big for me to grip the controller in a tense moment like being top three teams left in warzone and I can’t grip the controller right to win the game

Just subbed bro 👊🏼. I'm in Nigeria now, I bought 3 controllers that aren't working. I got a wired one, I'm loving it. My problem is that it won't work with remote play on both pc n Mac. Pls help?

I put aim at the tippy top and scuf second removing the functionality of the ps5 controller by just choosing the mouse click triggers is a crime for that controller with the hapty feedback and actually rumble action

Anyone ever ordered a HEX controller to the UK before? I did that thinking everything was fine then today the tracking said "delayed at LHR" (the airport). I've done a bit of reading and it seems the free delivery doesn't cover European countries, which is annoying, but fine. I'm just hoping the controller doesn't get stuck at customs...

Ran a Hexgaming Ultimate with digital triggers since January until I was able to get a SCUF Reflex FPS (arrived this week). Even after just a week of use, I definitely like the reflex much better. The digital triggers feel better on the scuf and like you said, it feels damn good in the hands with the grip. One thing I did notice between the two was the ultimate seemed to have a slight input delay compared to the scuf. Could be over thinking it but it was something I did notice playing Fort and Vanguard. I'm no pro but wonder if others who have used both say the same.

I’ll stick to my dual sense edge and most likely custom parts will come out from extreme rate or someone soon I had a scuf it wasn’t all that and felt cheap in compassion to the edge and you can replace the joystick module and someone will WILL make a Hal effect version just you wait I think it’ll be Guilikit any way that’s my 2 cents stick to the edge first party controllers seem to always be better just look a Xbox with the elite even with the qc issues I’m on my second series 2 but I got series one on release day and it’s still kicking and I’ve missed the crap outta it

I got a Scuf like 10 years ago and it was the worst experience ive ever had with any product ever. I didnt get what i ordered, the controller came broken, and i couldnt get a hold of customer service for almost a month!!! Their phone lines were down every time i tried to call and they did not respond to emails.

Did you try extremerate? I modded my own ps5 controller it works well and its quite cheap and available to buy now

Man, I wish you reviewed the Gamenetics custom controller.....

With stick drift to “prove it” download a controller health. You don’t even do anything just plug it in and it senses any stick drift and gives you a pdf of it

I have an evil controller and curious what u think of them

Not a big deal but just wanted to mention #9 is misspelled. Love your videos bro!

I think you should try the gamemetics controllers

Is gamenetics controllers a good option?

Was looking at the Hex, but the back buttons are pretty ugly and look funky. Glad you like it though.

Great video 🤟🏽🤟🏽🤟🏽

You should review a nagashock controller. It reminds me a lot like a better battle beaver controller.

Have you check out the hyper controller?

What about modded zone? On the tier list.

Warranty is always the one thing that stops me from wanting to invest too much money in these products because pence your out of the warranty and it breaks on you all that money you spend goes down the drain especially if you’ve had it only a year

IMO you should have rated price on its own and not value for what you’re getting because you’re already rating hardware quality and durability etc on its own. So the most expensive should be lowest in terms of price rating

Thanks for the help 😂

Do any of these controllers have software that allows you to increase sensitivity of the sticks?

So do the controllers with replaceable thumbsticks fix stick drift?

You should check out the PS5 AIM controller it's what I use and I love it! 👍

Not all heros wear capes. Some just buy a lot of controllers. Thank you 🙏

I bought an aim controller and had it within 14 days lol customer service was great and with the digital triggers I haven’t had a single issue with the gun not firing whatsoever, the one thing is the removable joystick grips on all these controllers I wish they clicked in and rotated so that when I’m playing NHL it doesn’t pop off like every single one of them do

Just to give a my experience with Battle Beaver, my PS4 controller I got 6 yrs ago had the tips 3 of the thumbsticks break off 2 yrs in. I contacted them and they sent out a new pair at no charge to me, not even shipping

This is super helpful, thanks! The SCUF looks great, so I’m holding out for when it can be customised - which they told me will be later in 2022!

Did you hit on scuff for the Ps5 fps cause they made it pretty easy to hit on the last drop

Best review ever

Have you tried evil controller?

whats the best controller ps5 for r6/cod and fn?

Try the Moddedzone controller...

what a nice guy he put so much money and time in these videos for Other ppl benefit Not for himself so he can Make Money out of these videos this guys is a Complete Saint that's why everyone should sub and Donate to him even thought Donation like that are just Online begging many times from ppl with less money then the beggers themselves

Battlebever customer service is crap. Got zero answer from them
