🚨🚨🚨FOLKS, DO NOT MAKE THE MISTAKE OF BUYING THIS CONTROLLER!!!!🚨🚨🚨 I ran off to place an order after watching this review two months ago (Nov. 8, to be exact), and I still haven’t received my controller even after requesting their “express” service. Today is Jan. 9! Customer service is nonexistent, and when you factor in the reports of customers receiving duds on arrival, I’ve continued to regret pouring money into this. The fact that none of these RU-vidrs who hyped this controller up are talking about these issues makes me wonder if they are complicit in this sham of a company - if you can call it a company to start with. Save yourself the heartache and stress. NEVER AGAIN!
You need to do a teardown video so we can see how they calibrated the analogs, it would be nice to know if they have a board soldered to each analog. Great review 👍
Yall better stay as far as you can from HYPR. Terrible company. I could probably say bunch of criminals. I bought a Hall effect controller from them. When it came it was literally unplayable. Left stick was less responsive and it has more drift than my two years old standard controller. I showed them a video and they asked me to return which I did. They received jt back on the 6th of October. I was so pissed about everything so I opted for a refund instead of exchange. First, they said they were processing the refund and like two weeks later they hit me up saying the controller wouldn’t turn on and it was badly assembled. Like dude, I didn’t even open up that controller. I don’t know how to. So how TF won’t it turn on or badly assembled? I literally sent a video of the issue. They accused me of ruining it and said they could fix it and send it to me for free. I had no other choice and I agreed. But to this day I heard nothing from that SCAM of a company. My money and controller probably gone at this point. I just hate it when these people try to sugarcoat and get us to buy from these people Just avoid that company for your own good.
Their company must’ve done a complete 180 because I reviewed two of their controllers previously and there was no real complaints, However on this third review it seems like every person with a poor experience has arrived to share their experience with the rest of us. A lot of these sound like absolute horror stories, and if they are true and not just trying to jump in on the conversation that really is inexcusable
@@GamerHeavenOfficial yeah I’ve absolutely no reason to lie about this. I’ve proof. It’s been frustrating and I literally have no one to complain to help. I’ve been sending multiple emails and no response. I just believe I lost my money at this point. It’s all good anyway I shouldn’t have even bought anything from them. It’s my fault.
DON’T BUY A HYPR CONTROLLER!! I bought three of them last year, they’re all dualsense. Two with normal thumbsticks and one with Hall effect. The first one I ordered I had replaceable thumbsticks which when I received and tried to play with it every time the thumbsticks were on full lock it would be VERY GRINDY. Emailed them, sent a video, and they replied with “that’s normal” because I chose replaceable thumbsticks which apparently does that on full lock. Sent it back to replace the thumbsticks during march of 2023 and still haven’t got it back. After countless emails up until October 2023 they finally replied and told me that they will build me another controller within a week and right now it’s January 29 2024 and still no controller. Second controller I bought in march 2023 after I sent my first controller to replace the thumbsticks. The first issue with this controller is the black color pieces they have doesn’t match other blacks. The skin I chose was the blue and black designer one with the black touchpad so the blacks didn’t really match. Not an issue that I’m worried about but deserves to be mentioned. The second issue is that after a month of use the thumbstick rings they use called “glide rings” started becoming worn out and very annoying to deal with. That’s why with the third controller I specifically told them to give me extra glide rings. Third (and final) controller I bought came to me a few days ago right now is Jan 28 2024 and I ordered it in October 2023 expedited (all my orders were expedited). It has increased tension on the right thumbstick and decreased on the left. Out of the box it looked great until I noticed that the right thumbstick was tilted to the right. I tried moving it a lot of times and it always comes back tilted to the right. As you know this means that playing any competitive game with this type of flaw makes it impossible to win. I emailed them and sent pictures and they told me that “controllers are hand built by the team which is why we won't always have 100% straight thumbsticks”. They were straight on the first two. They also said “this minor aesthetic flaw shouldn't affect your gameplay at all.” My comments to that is say that to any gamer playing a competitive game and let’s see what they say. Learn from my experience. Don’t buy hypr.
i commented on another youtuber who bought a controller b4 they offered the hall eff sticks and he sauid he LOVES his hypr controller but he said their customer service was the worst he ever had to deal with. also see quite a few ppl in your comments saying the same thing lol @@GamerHeavenOfficial
If they had nagashock type customer service they would skyrocket in controller worlds maybe and offer a little bit more customization with digital click buttons and dpad
I'm excited to see we're that much closer to hall effect modules that work on PS5. Channels like Jun Zeng (which is already selling these modules) and Marius Heir (almost there) are leading the charge on this.
@@ClovvnGaming I'm working on starting a custom controller company that features his boards. At the moment I'm just waiting for parts to arrive to finish testing to make sure everything I'm using is compatable.
@@the_joy_n_sorrow Yes I do have some basic experience in soldering, desoldering, I can even make battlebeaver style back button and change out the hall effect thumbstick module for the Dualsese, but welding Jun Zeng PCB requires some extra finesse as the middle pin is insulated and not easy to stick to the board. It can be done but not recommended for 1st time guy. And honestly the outer threshold calibration is not noticed in game anyway so you dont need to pay extra 20$ for the PCB.
got this today, with over a 2 month build time and it came with a massive amount of stick drift on the left stick. It pulls down by itself or when I press in the L3 stick to sprint. They told me to turn off/on controller for it to "auto-calibrate" the sticks but the left one stick pull down. Was hoping to have this controller replace my daily driver but it looks like I'll have to look elsewhere. big sad.
The hypr team emailed me "solutions" turning off and holding the L3 etc but none of them worked. I sent them a video showing the L3 going down by itself and they told me to send it back to them so it can be replaced. I sent it back today so I'll see when it comes back to me. ETA: currently unknown. The controller is pretty good other than that L3 and is the best ps5 controller I've used so far(again apart from that faulty L3).@@rabusse
13 minites in talking about the slight off centre/stick drift of the thumbsticks. Thats what my hypr controller has came with and it is seriously an issue playing COD. Im returning mine. Mines is not not HE thumbsticks... although their customer service is so god damn slow
FYI, that back paddle attachment is not unique to HYPR. I have seen it available on places that sell random Chinese aftermarket parts like Aliexpress and Ebay. It seems HYPR, Battle Beaver, Cinch, Gamenetics all use a combination of parts/shells/thumbsticks/digital trigger modules from ExtremeRate and other generic Chinese manufacturers floating around on online. Cool nonetheless to see you out front with the Hall effect review. I just hope Sony doesn't push out a controller firmware update that somehow interferes with the function of the Hall effect modules. Good stuff as always...
that should not be the case. the new PCB used to calibrate translates the signal from the HE to the dualsense controller. As far as the controller is concerned they are stock sticks.
Glad to see they fixed the issue since mine is being built right now. One thing to note is 0.5% circularity generally means the controller is not running in RAW mode. GameSir for example you can put in RAW mode and those values will jump up. The controller has an artificial max circular deadzone if it is showing 0.5%. I personally like that as long as they give you the option to change it into RAW mode as well. I know Gamesir and Nacon both allow it to be changed to RAW mode. Haven't tested it but im guessing the stock dualsense may be using the physical controller shell around the joysticks to act as a max deadzone. So, they are running in RAW mode. Without the controller shell limiting movement you would probably get 15-20% or so on both. The outcome is that happy medium of 7-12% circularity with a physical gate. I know Vitrix controllers are setup exactly how I just described so, it wouldn't be a surprise to see stock dualsense the same. Note to buyers: I've been waiting 2 months with less than acceptable customer service. They have not been straight forward about the wait time. If it was so they could work out the kinks with the sticks ok , glad I waited, but I have been left quite a bit soured with the brand because of that. I've most recently been told my controller was in QC and getting ready to ship which clearly has also not been the case. So, prepare yourself for a very long wait with little updates or trustworthy information coming from customer service.
Same for my experience. I actually had it take 8 weeks. But at week 6 it said shipped but never did. When I finally got a response they said it was still in testing. I think they are a small crew and overwhelmed but don’t want to communicate that they are behind.
@@MajrGingervitus yea they probably are a small crew. More transparency would go a long way though. I just want honest responses. Maybe they will read these comments and start to adapt to the feedback.
So about this RAW mode you speak of. Do you have any articles, resources, videos, or forums that could teach someone who has never heard of "RAW" mode and thinks it sounds like some comment section silliness. Every other day I hear of a new "secret mode" controllers can be thrown into, it's spoken like it's a secret menu item at In n Out burger.
@@GamerHeavenOfficialIf you launch the Gamesir Software where you can change the dead zones etc you can put the stick a little past 100 and put it to raw mode and try it for yourself. Love the videos!

Good luck my boy I waited damn near 3 months for my custom hypr controller with hall effect thumbsticks and it’s trash! The right stick cocked to the side and left stick doesn’t register full inputs, I can’t even tactical sprint in MW2 I am completely disappointed…
DO NOT BUY A CONTROLLER FROM HYPR! I ordered a controller that took 2 months to arrive and when it arrived it was broken, the paddles didn’t work and their was seriously bad right analogue stick problems that would make my character spin in circles without stopping until I unplugged it. Their customer service is terrible, I told them I wanted a refund but they didn’t reply for over a week, by then the warranty had run out for a refund.
I love your reviews and trust that you are being honest but my question is, is your controller getting built with special care knowing who it’s going to? I’ve heard not great things so far from hypr from average customers.
I don't believe so. I have received more than a couple controllers for review (from other companies) with some issues that I have pointed out. As for HYPR it took them almost 2 months to build my controller so I don't think I got expedited service.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial lol fair enough. I want to reiterate, I have complete confidence in your honesty and competence in reviewing controllers. I’ve bought three controllers, a hex ultimate, hypr signature in feb and another one with Hall effect that I haven’t recieved yet all using your discount codes. You effin rock bro.
Got mine a week ago tomorrow. Played it for 7 hours. R2 trigger stopped responding. Spent over 200 gbp for a shoddy build to be told sorry the wire to the board must have come loose. Apparently a new one has been built and was meant to be dispatched yesterday but it hasn't. Not a happy customer. See what this second one is like.
@GamerHeavenOfficial not a problem. Was an amazing controller though while it worked not going to lie. Will keep you updated when this replacement gets here. There's a post on Reddit. Few have had bad builds and the main gripe seems to be the delivery times if any delivery at all. Tbh I got mine within 2 weeks from build to door in the UK. So my only issue was that hang on, I've just paid over 200 GBP for a premium controller to break so quick. I believe in second chances and with it being electronic I can accept you get faulty goods sometimes. Just peed me off. Hopefully this second one will make up for it.
A pretty balanced review. The controller initially peeked my interest (for PS5) from a previous review due to its hall effect modules but when I researched following that I found out HYPR was getting very bad reviews from the majority of those who ordered. The build wait time was way too long...4-6 weeks, and some others 2 months as you said. And following that there's the shipping nightmare. That takes almost as long...if they find the right shipping address. And the customer service feedback was piss poor. Some even found the controller faulty. Many had to cancel their orders, try to return the controller or consider it a loss. That being said, it's a real pity because we all have been longing for a company to make available controllers (in my case for PS5) with Hall Effect modules for the longest while since we were fed up with the potentiometer ones...the ones famous for stick drift. All the bad reviews notwithstanding I may have taken the chance were it not for the lengthy time it took for building, delivery and the poor customer support.
Tell that to the pros which use stick aiming… Which is 100% of them. Gyro isn’t even allowed in most tournaments, it’s just something that casual gamers that think their pros like to do in their spare time
Aim charging me shipping when it's manufacturing defects. Also bought two controllers from then right before they released adaptive triggers which sucks cause its $150 to add that feature. I can't justify and I can't buy a third $250 controllers just for me sadly that be a little nuts. While finalmouse responded to my email within 24 hours and paid/sent me a return label to send in mouse. That's top notch shit!
Thanks to the vid I finally might've found the perfect Fortnite controller... HE sticks, above average gamepad performance, OC, FOUR rear buttons, and mechanical triggers & bumpers. Nice. Great review.
2 of my hypr controllers have input delays of 3.45ms. Iv switched to the edge pro, i aint going back to these 3rd party controller companies. Let the pros(PS) give out their best work
Yea i just have 1 question, i dont care about pro features or none of that i just want a hall effect that works for my ps5 i don't care for the extra shit, what do u recommend?
I’ve been looking to buy one of these for a little while now, and I have an important question, but I was told that their team is out for the holidays so if you wouldn’t mind answering: Does the hall effect thumbstick make it where you can’t play certain games on PS5, like when you use a PS4 controller on a PS5?
I wonder if any companies will make a custom version of the DualSense Edge (if Sony would even allow that). It’d probably be prohibitively expensive though.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Interesting. Checked it out. It’s too bad it’s not more customizable in terms of colors and digital triggers but I guess there’s so much going on with the internals of the DualSense to begin with that changing one thing means having to make alterations or sacrifices elsewhere.
@ManateeMentality yeah I'm also wondering about Interchangeable thumbstick controller Ala the dual sense edge and would one of these companies just make that design
my controller after 6 months has that small jitter/noise you talked about on gamepad tester. If im not noticing it in game is it really stick drift or something to worry about?
No sir that is not stick drift related, a lot of potentiometer thumb stick modules will make that noise when you’re breaking neutral especially when the controller is new but once it gets broken in it will be quieter or completely silent. I noticed this during my scuff reflex review because that one was pretty noisy
All these companies are falling down with the button remapping. I don't need to remap face buttons to back buttons, all that can be done in game. I need to be able to map keyboard presses to these, so I can actually have more buttons and not redundancies.
For PS5 styled controllers, only Sony's dualsense edge let you do this via steam. For xbox/switch styled controllers, there are several. Nevertheless this is not very popular feature in industry :( I wonder if this is because someone holds the patent, or what.
I’m sorry what is your question, if I would take this over an elite series 2? They are too pretty different controllers being for different consuls, but overall I would probably take an elite series 2 despite the quality control issues considering I’ve had mine for over three years with no issues
@@GamerHeavenOfficialI’m about to get another Xbox controller and I’m trying to decide whether or not to get another elite series 2 or to get a Xbox hypr with he, I’ve had 2 elite series 2 and both got stick drift within a month so the he sticks on a pro controller got me interested in hypr
I purchased this controller when this video aired and the scammers at hypr have been misleading me about for 7 months now and are just straight up ignoring my emails. I don’t know how to proceed moving forward. I need some help
I really want a pro controller with mouseclicks and anti stick drift. But i have seen tons of people say that the customer service is absolute dogshit…. But then again there’s tons of reviews on youtube with people saying they are the best controllers ever…. Anyone got any advice?
I know this won’t happen but just putting it out there as a thought, if gulikit, battlebeaver, and scuf were to partner up for one premium fully loaded controller with key features from all those companies that controller will break sales records for controllers and will be the only controller people will be buying. Just a thought tho
Or get this imagine if a Controller reviewer that had tested every controller on the market, created his own Controller company designed to offer unparalleled bang for buck or priced to performance. Perhaps GHC, Gamer Heaven customs. I’m just spitballing here
@@GamerHeavenOfficial would be cool tesla of controllers come up with a insane production line to bring down build cost an the production line will stabilize the durability overtime so that there is no constraints on order fulfillment or shipping delays and have a huge QA and Rnd team
HE thumbsticks are a waste of time. Instead of relying on the module pot and the centering spring you're just relying solely on the centering spring to prevent center drift. The centering spring will wear out faster than it would in a potentiometer. Yes it's less parts to fail but unless they're using a really thick high tension spring it's not gonna last either. I wouldn't buy one especially at that price. Good vid though!
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Seen tons of videos on it and used tons of controllers. Build my own as well. The sensors don't but the centering springs absolutely can depending on springs used. The Vader 3 Pro for example has extremely thin springs with low ecstaticity. If they're also using K silver JH16s and not using different springs then they'll be just as bad. I don't know if you mentioned what module they use in the video. If you did, I must've missed it.
Sick review. So in depth, attention to detail. Amazing humor in between everything. Thank you sir. Would you say this is better than scuf? Is it amazing to play warzone with? How would you say the tension sticks played out in game do you recommend it for accuracy is it really that good
@@GamerHeavenOfficiali’m using kontrolfreeks as well… would they fit on the interchangeable thumbsticks? Would you recommend pro thumbsticks for the HE modules? I’m afraid the modules will go down pretty easily when you change the thumbsticks now and then
This sounds pretty damn good. My question that I haven't been able to find an answer to is: Is the spring that returns the stick to center the same one that returns it from a push? One of my biggest problems with controllers always ends up being what I call the "accidental melee" playing CoD when R3 eventually weakens to the point that it's too easy to press in a tense moment. Anyone know if the heavier stick tension option would help with this or if there's a fix?
42 nd ! such a beautiful controller ! . I would love one of those but to build a base model one is crazy expensive for us up in igloos in Canada . Awesome vid as per usual sir ! . Quick question are he sticks cost that much more then the stock ones ?
Still struggling with my Series X from Hypr with HE sticks. It’s been a week and no real answers or fixes. The jitter and jump on these are wild and make FPS almost unplayable. Super sad about it.
I felt this would potentially be an issue and was too good to be true. Hence why I was reluctant to be a guinea pig when Hall effect sticks were first offered. Hopefully things get sorted out, but I hear their customer service is terrible.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial yes, I have been in contact with them. I just sent them some video of gamepad tester showing them. I also had the thought that I might have that first wave of them as well. Communication has just be super slow. Trying to stay patient with them as I can.
Gonna pick up this controller, it's the only one that really makes sense. I think I would go aim if they had hall effect sticks. I don't know if this is a stupid question as they start life as a ps5 controller, but is gyro still supported on these controllers?
Ordered mine almost a week ago with both joysticks HE. Added rush build because I eat controllers for breakfast. Have not received any confirmation throughout email, should I be worried for 2 months delay?
I would reach out just to check on it although I wouldn’t be worried because it seems like they did fall into the 2 to 3 month delay and now they are back to 5 to 6 weeks according to them
@@GamerHeavenOfficial just received a response, communicated with Customer service through email. It seems they got “tripled” demand as “Mina” from Their service told me. So I’m expecting here a 2-3 month wait. So if anyone hopes to get one even before Christmas, await yours at 2024. This is so bad. The wait time is almost as bad and long as battle beaver 2-3 months. Wow. Just wow…
ATTENTION PLEASE ITS IMPORTANT: it is not true that the gulikit and g7 are better let me explain, the g7 and gulikit have a 0.5 avr error and a 0.00002 resting value because its the software they use, the g7 for example has a deazone set to 1 by default, you can disable the deadzone and slide it to 0 and it behaves like every other controller, as for avr error just switch it in raw mode and you'll see they have the same 12% error as any other controller.....as a controller guru you should know this, but then again gamesir always ships you controllers for free right?
I just ordered a controller with HE CALIBRATION METHOD of standard instead of the other options such as Pro Driver Board or AUTO calibrating. Did I make a mistake not getting the other two options? It was sold out at the time but now I see it’s available again? Wondering if I should trying canceling or see if I could change my order.
Am I the only person who wants my controller buttons to not be clicky? If I am using a controller I am not using a headset and that would be obnoxious to listen to.
I will say one thing they need to do is add accessories on your site I wanted to get extra swappable thumbsticks with the controller separately, but theres nothing kind of sucks that you have an option that you can't buy replacements for
Wow as a casual gamer I had no idea thatbthis was such a rabbit hole. Thanks for the knowledge dump, I now know more than I need to. I just bought PS5 edge... Was it a mistake?
I have watched his videos on best pro controller and to be honest I bought a aim controller and I love it you should watch his review on it sadly it did get stick drift and no one really covers that but I ended replacing the joystick so all is good still recommend aim controller
Anyone know of a PC compatible controller that has dual stage triggers like the old, discontinued Steam controller. Basically I need a controller for Rocket League that allows me accelerate when I press the trigger and to boost when I press the same trigger harder to engage the 2nd stage. I also need at least 2 paddles or buttons underneath for handbraking and jumping. I've played Rocket League for about 8 years with the Steam controller but it's no longer available.
@@nsfang2571i have precision rings but Idk if it feels the same tho haahah…. Would you recommend interchangeable thumbsticks or just the pro’s? And how about the -20% decreased tension on your left?
@@dennisstrijbos4721 im not sure whats different about the pros. I would reccomend the interchangable thumbsticks. im not a fan of increased or decreased tension but if thats what you are interested in then go for it
Hey Kevin just curious if you had a high speed usb-c to usb-c cable do you think it would hold that faster connection better when you over clock the polling rate? If you could test that for me it would be dope my pc doesn’t have a usb-c port so I have to upgrade soon
I ordered the increased thumbsticks. And I need to say that it feels really weird. Like i would have a delay in my R3.. Hope i will getting used to it... Good video btw
So I'm looking at getting a new controller. What would you suggest as far as a PlayStation Controller with 4 backpaddles or buttons. I was thinking this one or the scuff envision pro. I am on PC, and I play FPS games. I'm trying to stick to around 200 bucks.😊
Kevin would it be wise to place an order now or wait? Trying to avoid a delayed wait time and I have a feeling they’ll experience an big influx of orders after this review
@@colemoxie4209 mine JUST got updated today (a week after purchasing) and its currently in the building state, not sure if I trust the legitimacy of their tracking after seeing all my friends post on Reddit and all the other horror stories 🤣
Hall effect is overhyped, all of them have shit quality at the moment, worse centering performance and worse pulling rate than a standard controller, not to mention the centering springs get worn out crazy fast compared to a normal one so your whole “anti stick drift” is practically a lie lmao
Polling rate is an affected by the type of thumb stick, but I’m assuming you’re saying the controllers that have HE sticks are slower, which also isn’t true. Also those reentering springs should be good for several years if they ever go out, so that is incorrect aswell
Maybe a silly question, but could you not by the steam deck version of the gulikit and de solder those modules and re solder them onto whatever controller you wanted too?
