Correction: I say a few times in the video "RGB". The lighting is actually a static bluish white color and can't be changed but can be dimmed and turned completely off.
Gamer Heaven you talked about the dpad being no Bueno for fighting games, what controller do you recomend with a dpad for fighting and retro games?could you recomend me the best ( spared no expenses 🦕) and a cheap option?
My birthday is actually next week, February 4th. This review, paired with the release of this controller gives me just enough time to get this controller for myself!
Don’t buy it. The triggers dead zone is extremely high!!!!!!! You can’t change it. Thumbs dead zone you can go raw mode or 10% like only. Nothing else to choose from.
@@lina4469 I like it, it feels kinda cheap but it feels solid, battery life isn't great but I turn the RGB off to help, I'd say get it but wait for a sale!
@@CUBEoneVX yes, but it is lackluster, most controllers come with a high quality one, this in is nothing but average. It's okay for 80 bucks but he was just pointing that bit out so no one was disappointed
@GamerHeavenOfficial To prevent from having those massive outliers at the start, try spinning the sticks before you start the X-input app. This does require you to either spin the stick one handed (I lay the controller on my table and spin the analog stick with one hand) or you could use a macro to start the X-input app automatically after a few seconds while you're doing your two-handed technique.
@j.c.denton8735 Hey, can you tell me what happens if you stop spinning the stick and start to spin again? I am curious that the controller has a huge delay every time when you let the stick and move it again.
@@alexveres7339 maybe or would show correctly in process, but to be real, program shows 3000+ ms, it is more than 3sec, it's way too unrealistic, but i will try it later, I also have kk3, but with one broken stick, but it's not a problem for this test

FYI The Gulikit Goku adapter works on this controller just like the KK2. I have been using it on Xbox with 'X-input' no problem. The Brook XB2 adapter was only pairing in Bluetooth mode (as stated in the video) which was way laggy in comparison. Seeing that the Goku adapter is normally just $20, it is a great essential add-on if you want to use this controller on either Xbox or PlayStation.
I couldn't connect this to my xbox with the goku adapter. Literally arrived 2 days ago and can't get my KK3 Max to connect on xbox. Idk what I'm doing wrong... I have a regular xbox controller on the adapter turned on. Press to connect wireless to the kk3 max on windows mode, flashes, but turns off like it's not connecting.
Awesome in-depth review, as always. Been thinking of getting this but the lack of clicky mechanical buttons and, that pre-travel on triggers is a bummer. Currently, I'm rockin' the Easysmx x10 as my daily. It has less features than the KK3 but it's pretty hard to beat at 50$. Thanks again, man.
Can't speak about the Cyclone Pro, sorry. Been almost a month since I used the X10. So far, no issues encountered yet. I also don't have a large collection of controllers but the X10's sticks have the smoothest rotations from controllers I've used, by far. (I have DS3, DS4, Dual Sense, XB 1, XB 360, KK2 Pro, SN30 Pro + and NS Pro)
Just got mine today! I'm no connoisseur of controllers, but initial impressions based on feel and options is very good. I usually only play keyboard and mouse, but for those rare occasions I do feel like I need a controller, this seems like the perfect fit.
Finally, this controller has been reviewed. I want this controller when I got my money but at the same time, Flydigi Vader 3 Pro got a huge discount so I'm on the fence what to get
Flydigi mecha buttons are just so good. Much better than my razer wolverine. Recently my apex 2 got double click issue after 2 years. I know that this is the risk of using mouse switches. But i still ordered vader 3 as replacement cuz of how good the buttons are. Hope this one can last longer
The Vader 3 Pro is known to have weak centering springs, that causes drift (yeah, in a Hall effect stick, go figure), So I wouldn't buy it. Way Overhyped for what it is.
@@avaraz6941 Yea, i know about it, QC issue happened to some ppl. But aside from drift, the buttons quality is not overhype. I own several controllers and the button feels of Flydigi mecha buttons are way above any others including Razer mecha buttons.
Gotta say I have been extremely impressed with this controller, especially at it's price point of $80. Been using it for the last few days, I would say I like it as much if not more than my elite 2 and battle beaver custom controllers. Wish the trigger stops had a little less travel, and if I'm nitpicking the bend on the bottom two paddles is slightly odd, but it doesn't impact my comfort or gaming at all. The sticks feel great and the controller is very responsive overall. Thanks for the review. BTW I got it on Aliexpress because I was tired of waiting for it on Amazon. Got it in about two weeks and everything is fine but I would have rather went the Amazon route as the seller there seems to be very active on Reddit and appears to offer really good customer support.
Oh Captain My Captain.....WOWZA....just another in-depth stellar review. Hitting all the marks and answering all the stallion's and stallionette's questions even before we knew we had them!
I dont know if you already know or if someone already mentioned. But the reason you got the stickdrift out of the box is because the zero deadzone mode is turned on. I dont know why they did not include this setting in the manual. But the way you turn it on or off is the hold the wheel icon (as with every option) and the the suare icon thing , the left most button down in the middle. Your deadzone settings wil switch to -0.00002 or perfect deadzone inputs. I got mine via ali express and some resellers ship them with 6 additionele thumbstick heights.
There are quite a few latency issues reported on Reddit about it. Polling rate =! Latency response. What this means is that it's consistent but the delay is about 15ms from each of those 1000 inputs, which is terrible.
Plus extremely high triggers dead zone! Feels like 30% I returned this controller very disappointed. Other fact is thumbs dead zone. You have 2 options. One is raw 0 and second 10% feels like. It is a big gap. When people start to use it they will find out it is not worth it
Thank you for the great review! It convinced me to pull the trigger on this gamepad. I'm not an expert by any mean (in fact this is the first non-stock gamepad I bought) but I did want to share a couple of thoughts about it. First and foremost what is mentioned at 17:17 which is that the left side actuates before the right by about half of a centimeter (5mm). I decided to measure this myself by placing the controller in my 3d printer in such a way that the X-axis gantry would press both triggers equally, then measure within the machine's software the amount the gantry moved towards the controller before the click is registered. I took multiple measurements and while there indeed is a considerable amount of travel before the click, and while one side does actuate before the other, on my controller the left side would actuate only ~0.2mm before the right side. Perhaps that was a defect on the controller that was reviewed in the video, or maybe gulikit released a hardware revision to address the issue? While I was at it, I also tested the triggers when set to "hall effect analog trigger" using the same method. In this mode I was able to measure a ~2mm deadzone (measured at the very end of the trigger) between the moment the triggers begin moving and the moment a value begins to be detected by the controller. That said, L and R trigger are also very consistent between each other, with the LT and RT values returned by gamepad tester being exactly identical most of the time given the same travel distance, and having at most a 0.02 difference sometimes. Another thing, at 30:07 it's mentioned the thumbstick caps aren't swappable, however although this feature isn't advertised anywhere, they are indeed replaceable. The thumbsticks caps are mounted on a hexagonal pin, and can be removed by gently pulling them away from the controller. Although there is no official replacement specifically for the kk3 at this time, reddit users report that the kk2 replacement sticks sold on the gulikit website fit the kk3 as well, and are available in longer and shorter variants. About the thumb stick calibration, my controller's was pretty bad out of the box, with the right stick having a slight offset towards down-left, but running the calibration fixed it. It's also worth noting that if you're updating your controller's firmware to the current latest version (v4.7 as of right now), gulikit suggests in the instructions to run a stick calibration after updating. The latest versions of the firmware add a couple features as well among bugfixes, like one additional level of vibration intensity and some more lighting effects. Last (and probably less important) I wanted to mention a couple things about the included plastic case, which is mentioned very briefly. The case itself has a notch on the back which allows you to charge the controller while it's stored inside it, and on the top is printed a quick mnemonic of some button combinations detailed in the guide to change the controller's settings. What kinda sucks about the case is that its shape doesn't account for the presence of the back paddles (the mould was likely just reused from the gulikit kk2). So unless you plan to use your controller without the rear paddles installed, or are willing to remove them and store them separately every time you put away the controller, the case will likely see very limited use.
Just got this thing from an auction site for $10.64 (it was an Amazon return). It’s never been opened. It seems identical to my elite 2 but the remapping on the fly is awesome. Great controller and review.
Just got mine a week or so ago and I would say it is one of the best controllers I have ever tried (in my limited selection as I don't review them for a youtube channel :P). The only "issue" I would point out is the triggers (R2/L2) are spongy when in trigger mode and when in mechanical mode the distance needed to hit them issssss "alright" but it is a bit too much for proper feel imo. Other than that so far I have had zero issues or concerns with the pad itself. Remapping the back buttons could be a touch simpler to do as it often turns on the "turbo" function of the button you are mapping to the back but turning that off is simple enough. gamepad tester reads the sticks as 0.0 error rate on both, all buttons can be hit and dont feel sticky like the kingkong pro 2's face buttons are. Overall really nice controller.
I like the half-domes up top and the smaller paddles on the bottom. But with that said I don't map stuff to the half-domes that I use very much and intentionally want them a bit harder to press to avoid accidental presses.
The button switches inside are membrane, not microswitch, so you can get the benefit of both types by disassembling the controller to change with the installation of the King Kong 2 Pro's replacement mechanical buttons. Additionally, the thumbsticks(even though they are a tight fit compared to the King Kong 2 Pro thumbsticks). Just some info where you didn't purchase or have those that I covered.
Since you have every controller know to man can you have a breakdown best controller for PC. That has best sticks, paddles, specs, pull, lowest lag, I’ve gone down the deep end looking for it and I don’t trust other reviewers. You’ve never let me down.
Comparing my KK3 to my Vader 3 Pro... Pros: 1. Really like the turbo and macro functions on the KK3 and how they can quickly be enabled on the controller. 2. The sticks are obviously great and extremely accurate, sensitive, with no jitter. 3. It looks good in grey and the lighting looks good too. 4. The polling rate is twice as fast as the V3 Pro. Cons: 1. The polling rate barely matters because the actual input latency is much higher than the V3 Pro when using the dongle or bluetooth (33ms!). It seems like the controller has a delay before sending the signal. A polling rate test wont show this issue. 2. The KK3 doesn't connect to the dongle roughly 1 in 8 times when turning it on. Other people also have this problem. 3. It randomly takes 3 - 8 seconds to connect with the dongle, where as the V3 Pro always connects in under 1 second. It's faster than any other controller i've used. 4. The trigger buttons feel pretty cheap, especially when they're locked. It almost feels more like the triggers are stuck when locked, rather than something that's intentional. It also feels like the plastic inside that locks them in place is about to break. It's not sturdy. They also travel too far when locked. 5. Shoulder buttons feel a little mushy. 6. The paddles stick out way too much (as shown in this vid) and i prefer the V3 Pro integrated back buttons over paddles because paddles are never as comfortable. 7. D-pad is mediocre for fighting games or anything similar. It's mushy, too small and uses the objectively inferior plus (+) shape (compared to the circular D-pad on the V3 Pro). It's usable but the V3 Pro is just so vastly superior in this area. 8. Doesn't have 6 face buttons like on the V3 Pro (C and Z), which again impacts its performance with fighters. 9. The + and - buttons are an awkward shape and too small, especially the minus button. 10. No software. I like how many features you have on the controller itself, but it also needs software for more advanced control. 11. The V3 Pro feels slightly more comfortable (but this is subjective). 12. The V3 Pro definitely chargers faster. 13. The KK3 is almost twice as expensive, yet it's clearly worse. So i've now returned my KK3... I'll probably just get a Vader 4 Pro whenever that comes out.
i suspect he meant hot swap, you need to take the controller apart to swap sticks unlike the buttons. That differs from say an xbox elite controller where they are hot swappable.
@@jinx20001 I'm still waiting for mine to arrive but I've seen videos of people just pulling off the sticks to replace them with taller ones. Unfortunately it is not as easy as the elite controller since they don't have magnets on kk3 but it is definitely an option. No need to disassemble anything.
@@kanawati I have the controller in front of me mate, you can’t pull the caps off without taking it apart unfortunately. My controller came with thumbstick toppers in the box to add on so shouldn’t be much reason to change them anyway unless you don’t want to use stick toppers. But yeh, for sure can’t pull them off.
bro... holy crap i was wrong lol i just was not pulling it hard enough, im used to the elite 2 controller so i assumed when pulling the stick that when it didnt come off easy it must not be removable... well crap i was wrong, i seen another review of the controller and there it was, he pulled the sticks off, i was like what the hell and pulled a bit harder and they are swappable haha... so my bad, you were right indeed!!
I prefer membrane buttons due to hand wear and noise concerns. They're not a downgrade in my view, just another option. Membranes are on many controllers for a reason. Of course their longevity is likely lower than mechanical switches, but I've personally never had a button wear out on me very prematurely, but sticks and triggers have, so hall effect is a must.
I had a defective kingkong pro 2 stick, it had drift and it squeaked/creaked and vibrated for a while before the drift started. I contacted their support email, mentioned I was capable of soldering a new stick on since they're identical to replacing any other stick. They replied quickly, and sent me a replacement part for free, they didn't even ask for a purchase date, a picture of the controller, or anything. I had also experienced a weird issue with a joycon stick from them, where it would move from left to right incredibly quickly when viewed in the Switches joystick calibration page. I mentioned it in my correspondence with the customer service person, and they sent me one of these for free, as well. 10/10 customer service in my opinion, I've never had such a simple experience getting parts from a company before. I'll most likely buy this controller as well due to how they handled those issues
The thumb stick caps ARE swap-able. In fact, the thumb sticks for the KK2 actually DO fit. It's a little snug. You've gotta push pretty hard to seat them, but they do interchange. Unfortunately, they've been out of stock on Amazon for several months. Also, the KK3 does have a "Dead Zone Mode", and it's enabled the same way it is on the KK2. Press the gear/cog button and the capture button, to enable/disable. While the dead zone on the KK2 is huge, (and thus undesirable) on the KK3 it's tiny (I'd say it's perfect). When you release the sticks, you will see all zeros on Gamepad Tester. But as soon as you touch either stick, the input registers. So, for KK2 I say no dead zone mode. But for KK3 you want it enabled. And for some reason, there is no mention of this mode in the KK3 manual.
If they fix the d pad it would be damn near flawless. I have a pro 2 and love it, only issues I've had after about a year and a half of heavy use is connectivity and comfort. For some reason it would would only connect to my switch and no one else's. No issues on pc. The way I hold the controller rubs and grinds into my left middle finger and it hurts after long sessions. I'll definitely be picking one of these up, looks like a sick upgrade.
I really just wish that the controller case had the room for the back paddles to stay ON! Crazy that you have to remove them everytime you want to put the controller away
I just got my KK3 Max in the mail and tested it out for a little bit. It IS an awesome controller, but my one maaaajor, deal-breaker gripe is that the back paddles stick out way too much. You hold the controller in place by wrapping your fingers around the two handles. The back paddles force your ring/pinky fingers away from the handles quite a bit. Also, the plastic on the controller does feel pretty good, but there's no kind of rubberized grippiness on the handles at all. These two things add up to a pretty loose grip on the controller, unfortunately. Without the paddles, I can grip the controller just fine, and everything else feels great, but that's a major loss of functionality. Also, ZL/ZR when set to digital are just okay... not great. I also had my small-handed girlfriend try the controller, and she said she would only use the controller without any back paddles. There are so many things this controller does right, but at the end of the day, if it's not comfortable to hold/use... I'm not going to enjoy using it. I've briefly owned an Elite Series 2 Core controller with back paddles (that I bought separately), and that controller is, for my medium-sized hands, ergonomic perfection. ...I returned it to Amazon immediately because it kept on giving me missed/double inputs, but WHEN IT ACTUALLY WORKS... it's glorious.
i am waiting for replacement of my KK3. Hall effect sensor on right stick or control chip or maybe something else was broken. It won't even calibrate lol. QC on this one isn't that great, maybe it's because of first batch for pre orders. But you are wrong about stick caps, they are hot swapable and replaceble. Gulikit sells them separately. Also u can set -0.00002 dead zone by pressing gear + square with circle
@@Dojaycat Yeah I heard there were some QC issues with it so I held off. Then I realized learning controller for call of duty is damn hard after playing MnK for decades so I returned the controllers I bought anyway. Thanks for the feedback!
Here is an idea on how to calculate the polling rate accurately without the outlier. Copy and paste the numbers into a google sheet and run a manual average to eliminate the big outlier.
Just received mine, I did notice that on your complaint about the rear paddles, you can swap the paddles to the opposite side so the cutout faces up, they don't stick out as far from the controller. It feels much better to me that way. I was also wondering how you would compare this to the vader 3 pro, which seems to have many similar features for the same $.
Well, answering my own question, I feel like my Vader 3 pro is a MUCH better controller than the kk3. Actual mechanical buttons, sticks are the only redeeming quality for the kk3, but the Vader sticks are still really good. I prefer having software so kk3 on board programming just isn't good enough. So for me, I'm keeping the Vader 3 pro and if your looking for an $80 pro controller the Vader 3 pro seems to be the best option out currently for me as a PC gamer.
@@jefftaylor9250I have been looking at both and prefer the look of the Gulikit, the vader looks so cheap, will also be used just on the pc and am really just looking for good hall effect joysticks, do you also have a vader?
Hey Kevin. Any chance you know if there's a way to make it so that clicking down on the right stick does nothing? I bind the right stick press to the back paddle and then clear the bind on my Xbox elite series 2 so that I didn't accidentally press down on the stick and melee in the middle of a gun fight
Damn. Kind of a bummer about the triggers and the back paddles being subpar. Was gonna pick this up but think I'm gonna stick with my elite series 2. Wouldn't it be suuuuuuper dope if one or two of these companies just sent you a prototype to test and give feedback on before going into full production? This one seems so close to the goal of all the desired pro controller features for < $100. Just fix the weirdo triggers and a few degrees on the paddles. Nothing major just a couple tweaks and boom. Perfect.
I'm finding after switching from my elite series 2 the criticism of the back paddles on the guli kit is a more than picky. If you use ring finger for the bottoms and middle for the top its very similar to elite. For $80 with hall effect sticks (0 deadzone) and only 1ms input delay, shits fire. Of course the elite paddles feel better but its not uncomfortable like all the youtube reviews make it seem.
I want to love this controller but I've had some glaring issues with mine within 50ish hours of use. I only play Rocket League with the controller and I am maybe a bit rougher with my controllers than a casual player but I still take care of my electronics. The first problem I noticed was that the analog sticks would start to come off during play. You can pull them off yourself but they shouldn't be coming off just from heavy use. So I find myself pushing them down frequently to keep them in place. I've considered glueing or putting loctite on the stem to secure them but haven't resorted to that yet. The other major issue I have just noticed today is that the rear buttons have already start to become mushy and are now getting stuck in the actuated position. This is the worst part because I really liked the placement of the half-domes and the feedback from using them but unfortunately the rear buttons were not designed to last. If you plan on using the rear buttons a lot I would not recommended this controller. I love everything else about the controller and have had no other issues but I will have to return mine because it was not built for someone that games a lot.
Yeah honestly it's probably closer to low 40ish hours, but I do play a lot. I might try and get a replacement and try once more because I really enjoy the Hall Effect sensors. I think maybe my stick issue is a QA problem but I think the switches on the rear are doomed to fail quickly, especially if you are holding down the paddles/half-domes while you play (I have boost and air roll bound on my paddles which are actions I often hold for an extended time)@@GamerHeavenOfficial
Loved the vid as always! I’m rocking a razer raiju which I use for fps as it’s super responsive (stick wise) with 0 drift, an Elite series 2 for action/adventure or more casual games (seriously the most comfortable and good looking controller I’ve owned and love the customisation/profile options) and I have a flydigi Vader 3 pro on the way ❤ Loving the looks of this one too!
This actually does have swappable thumbstick, just really hard to pull off. On aliexpress where i bought it they gave me replacement thumbsticks of different length for free
I popped mine off today and put on the two included rubber thumb stick grips one purple and one red 🤷🏻♂️ but decided to try my playvital grips for ps5 Xbox switch pro ect and they fit very snug with a bit of elbow grease 👍🏻
Looks like one of the top 2 modern controllers. Having all the configuration on the controller is a must for me, being a non-Windows user. Hall Effect sticks are also a must - I've had enough of stick drift with the other low-quality modern controllers. I would prefer rear buttons over paddles. I also don't like the Switch-first layout and as you say, the dpad isn't the best. Also would really like the rear buttons to be remappable to anything, not just other buttons on the controller. But no controller gets that right, so can't complain too much. Going off your reviews, I think for me the only controllers worth considering are this one here and the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra that's $120 more expensive. Neither seem worth buying until my KK2 dies though. With any luck Valve will make a Steam Controller 2 by then for an even better experience. The original is still my most used controller.
Now all we need is a symetrical stick version, and I'll be happy. [I play FFXIV, The dpad above is a lot more accessible during moving w/ the left stick vs asymetrical.
I wish they made one with symmetrical design like the Dualshock controllers. How much resistance do the triggers have? I play racing games a lot with controllers and I prefer heavy triggers which.
Asked the community elsewhere as well and they suggested the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro. And I bought that controller and can surely say it is a better pick IMO.
great thorough review. but you say multiple times that it doesn't have swappable thumb stick caps, it indeed does have swappable thumb stick caps. just pull the off
Need to do a drop test to test the quality of the plastics. Drop it look at it and check it, then use it to see how well it still works. That is the best way to do a durability test.
This would have been awesome if it was also a officially licensed controller for Xbox as well, I would've picked this up ASAP. Awesome review, keep up the great work! 👌
I can confirm that the thumsticks can be removed, they're just really tightly put on. I don't know why they wouldn't show this on their website or manual tbh
I have 2 vanilla dual sense controllers that i swap between as one dies i put the other to charge. One recently started to give massive drift on the left stick where it will go full left tilt in racing games when I'm only applying light adjustments sending me into a wall. I was hopeful Gulikit would have already made modules for the edge controller to use hall effects, but honestly considering the price difference 200 vs 80 and have 4 back buttons vs 2 on top of already using hall effects, the official sony product is really dropping the ball for value. I like the haptic feedback on the dual sense for games that use it well but those are rare.
I'm using a wolverine ultimate for my Xbox, a Razer Raiju for mobile/Gamepassing on my phone, and (depending on which is most charged when needed) either a Nitho hexa-something-or-other (I very much recommend this inexpensive, lightweight, and highly customizable controller. In the range of $20 to $30, you can't beat it's value) and a Ymir PS4 controller w/ turbo and remapable back buttons.
Ok I have been using this controller for a few days now! over all its super solid! the only real issue I have found is the triggers are truly terrible. the trigger stops feel nasty, and the triggers themselves wobble around. when you press it, it kind of feels like there is a cottonball made out of fiber class crunching in the trigger. I still think its a super good deal for under 100, but if they fix the triggers it will be a true game changer. Also I got some crappy joystick caps with mine that the controller captain didnt get in his package.
0:17 just started the video let’s see if this controller is worth buying💪🏽, i currently am looking for a new controller to use for my fighting games i use the victrix ps5 controller
Great video as usual but I expected at least some testing of the gyro aiming. I don't trust third parties shilling Gyro, who known the quality, they know almost nobody use it because most people don't know how good it is so they would cut cost there for sure. It has to be perfectly precise with no lag like on the DualSense wired.
I was 100% convinced this was my next controller and even added one to my Amazon cart until you mentioned there's no headphone jack. That completely ruined it for me. I'll just stick to my Gamesir G7 SE controller. I absolutely love the fact I can use my HyperX Cloud 2 headset with that controller and I have all the audio controls on the controller itself so my fingers never have to leave the controller. I can adjust the master volume up and down and the party chat to game volume and mute myself all without ever having to have my fingers or hands for that matter off the controller even for a second. That matters a lot to myself! Especially when you've got teammates who don't know when to shut up when you need to hear footsteps! Also having the party chat to game chat slider it kinda gives you even more of a range to adjust the volume on some games like Forza Horizon. I just wish they would make a Pro version of that Gamesir G7 SE with 4 back buttons instead of just the 2 with a wireless dongle that works as good as this one for this controller does! Also I've never been a fan of the paddles either I hope they stick to buttons and they just add the 2 extra buttons and add the actual physical trigger stops with adjustable height joysticks and make the D pad a little stiffer so you don't accidentally pull out your melee instead of a throwable on PUBG. Oh and of course make the controller bigger to actually fit man size hands would be very nice! These damn controllers nowadays seem to only be made for kids and women! Don't these controller companies know there's big dudes out there who play video games with big hands? The Thrustmaster eSwap Pro was just a bit bigger on the size of their controller which was really nice but even that was to small and their lack of Hall Effect Joysticks is a huge downer! Maybe someday a controller company will make the ultimate controller I'm looking for but I'm beginning to think they don't care about people with big hands cause controllers seem to keep getting smaller and smaller. I know for a fact there's a market for bigger controllers cause a lot of my buddies have been saying the same thing for years now especially after the Xbox One controllers got so damn small! The PS5 controllers are a decent size but I've never really been a fan of the layout of their controllers I like the Xbox layout a lot better. If Thrustmaster would use Hall Effect Joysticks and had volume controls that would be almost the ultimate controller especially if it was slightly even bigger than it already is and if it was wireless! I still have hopes someday I'll find that unicorn of a controller but until then I'll have to suffer with the small Gamesir G7 SE with 2 back buttons instead of 4 I guess and keep having my hands cramp up on me cause the controller is way too small. 😢
Thanks for the video,.For $80 is a damn good controller, fast/responsive sticks, looks great too, hopefully for their next controller the dpad, trigger stops and back paddles will be that bit better, other than that i agree for 80 it's definitely a buy for anyone.
i am currently watching this while putting on the buttons. I just realized you have your top two back paddles on upside down. if you look on the other side of the metal paddles there is a small engraving telling you where it goes (g1, g3, etc). Just...fwiw
The section on the D-Pad got me thinking, do you have a recommendation for a controller with a great D-Pad? I'm not into fighting games but I emulate enough retro games to be curious. Should I be playing Super Mario Bros 3 with a fight pad?
Thats an easy one, I love the dpad on the vader 3, stealth ultra, elite 2, scuf instinct or envision, almost all the current 8bitdo models. have a good night bro
Thank you for this one. I’m not sure about the purchase as my main gaming platform is Xbox and I don’t trust the converters with the way Microsoft has been treating that subject recently in the news. Even if the bro adapter works I feel like it’s a matter of time before it will not. I wish this company would make this controller in a dedicated Xbox version. 💫 497 days no alcohol 🥇
