*CONTROLLLAA PLAYAAAAA*

imo Mouse for FPS combat, and controller for everything else

@@Chappers.Gaming mouse can only move as far as the free space on your table.

Yeah, when you’re spending that sort of money you’d expect it to be flawless. The swappable batteries are a great idea, and I do like the modular aspects, but probably something I’d only use once when I set up the controller initially

@@FrugalGaming Yea, most would only use it once, but expanded a bit I think it could be great for people with accessibility needs. If you could swap all 4 of the front input sets about I think that'd make it far more versatile & might make them a go-to for that market, even if it is small.

I need to review the new Astro controller because that is probably the most modular controller on the Market. It’s £185 though, so May wait till it drops in price

@@FrugalGaming Oh, yes probably best to wait heh. I look forward to the review if you do cover it though; I've not heard of it.

You can get it cheaper on Amazon

Have you got a link?

@@kevinwatson9378 www.amazon.co.uk/gp/offer-listing/B07G17VFHR/ref=dp_olp_all_mbc?ie=UTF8&condition=all

@@kevinwatson9378 There you go mate, still 5 available! I assume the shipment got a bit damaged as is specified but it is a bargain. Any time I have gotten anything off the warehouse that is specified as having a damaged box etc. I struggle to find the damage! I wasn't going to bother getting a new one with the price being so high and especially with the PS5 so close around the corner but the price drop certainly gave me an excuse lol £217 down to just under £90 it's a no brainer!

@@thompsondj5120 I know, I have two PS4 controllers one is years old and started drifting I've tried to fix it but made more problems, the newer on is not even a year old and started drifting bad so took it apart fixed it and installed a remap kit but now a few months later it's sticking when running on games. So looking at an alternative I'm tempted with this as I don't mind having it wired and even a standard PS4 controller is now £50-60+

Got a 2019 tournament edition from ebuyer it came yesterday, I'm returning it today right Analogue stick drifts. Tried updating firmware never fixed it. Very disappointing not sure what to do now as ps5 is out soon and don't know if it's worth paying for a Astro C40 incase it's not compatible. : (

Lol gonna try my luck too

Controller still good?

@@e.j.5053 yep! Though I do admit, I've been using my ps5 controller with steam lately. I mainly use my razor for fighting games and shooters.

@@DasSigma660 sweet! I like the look of the controller but it really sucks that I have to gamble on whether or not it functions correctly

Ay me 2

Glad yours worked fine mate, it's an amazing controller if you don't have the issues

Well for 199.99 USD it got to work

Hello there. I just ordered it last Sunday. How long does it take to get back. Just asking

Alfonza Mccray i ordered through amazon and it took me 3 days to get it

Thanks buddy. Appreciate the feedback 👍🏼

Thanks buddy. Appreciate the feedback 👍🏼

Godzilla had a freaking heart attack reading this

@@niufy845 why?

The Elite is my favourite controller too. Thanks for checking out the video :-)

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback :-)

Jary Castro dont but it, it hase allot of console drift like it isnt fun to play

Still cheaper than scuf and other modded controller and it comes with rgb.

Expensive depends on what kind of job you are holding.

​@@Prometheus574 People with money blow it on stupid shit so that makes sense.

It is pretty damn expensive

It costs $198.05 in my state (yes I live in the US)

It cos69.82 in the uk

Theniggawiththetrigga ___ your lucky THATS how much a normal controller costs

Theniggawiththetrigga ___ it costs 162.99 for me in the uk

@Arnulfo Torres It’s decent yeah!

@Arnulfo Torres Nope, no fighting for me, just racing & shoot em’ ups

@Arnulfo Torres Not sure if I can help.... Works for me, 🤷🏻‍♂️

Hopefully it will work fine as when they do work properly it's great. Let me know how you get on buddy :-)

@@FrugalGaming well after playing just over a day with it, it feels very nice/well built. Everything seems to work fine so far including no input lag via bluetooth. Just getting used to the extra buttons. All in all I'm happy so far with it.

Glad it’s ok for you mate👍🏼

@@FrugalGaming well a 1 and a half week rant about it now, over the week it's gotten stick drift on the R3 button and yesterday it started getting really bad input lag. Really annoyed at that. At first I increased the deadzones to stop the drift but it only worked for about a day then got worse. Needless to say I'll be ringing razer this morning.

Oh no, that sucks. Sadly I am getting more and more comments from people having the same issues. Razer really needs to get these issues resolved!

It does look like you’re at a disco when you’re playing it 😂

Damn, AutoCorrect did "Help" you there. (Razor)

Yep, very annoying thy something that costs so much has these issues

Thank you, appreciate the nice feedback 👍🏼

Yep, Razer really dropped the ball on this one. It’s not like it’s a new issue, so they should have had a real fix by now. Even more annoying when you consider how expensive the controller is!

@@FrugalGaming it's really expensive and their customer service is just plain terrible.

Glad you’re not having any problems buddy 👍🏼

Thanks buddy 👍🏼

Problem is when you spend that much money on a product it should work as advertised :-)

Hey buddy, thanks for the kind feedback. It was just when playing wirelessly that I had issues, wired now works fine

I have the razor raiju tournament edition and dont seem to have these problems. Absolutely the best controller ever in my opinion. It does have some differences compaired to the ultimate edition such as not being able to swith thumbsticks nor the D pad. I also configures its layout such as an xbox controller with the D pad next to the right thunbstick and the left thumbstick above the D pad

Thanks buddy. I hope you like it!

You get both those options as there is an alternative d-pad included, So you have one where the buttons are separated and one where they are joined

Frugal Gaming So I play plenty of fighting games and with the ps4 dpad if I were to hold down the left arrow and wiggle it up or down it would trigger the up or down arrows. So I’m just trying to confirm this controller doesn’t have that problem before I buy it.

ax3l _ did you find out if they are similar to the ps4 d-pad?

Diego Teixeira Yeah they are much better than then ps4 ones. For fighting games I’d recommend.

@@AxelVenturatheboss I heard some people saying that the controller start drifting pretty fast is it true? I'll be using it to play platform games, because i like to play with the separate directional button and the only controller that I have like that is the Joy-con. However the ergonomic are really bad, that's why I was looking forward to buy this.

Sorry to hear you’re having issues too. It was so closed to being the perfect controller for me, but in the end it was unusable In wireless mode.

@@FrugalGaming you right they need to work on thumb sticks n should repay the money back to costumers. What u think about astro c40 is it good or waste?

I have a ps4 and tbh I dislike the DualShock it’s not as comfortable as the Xbox controller

Sorry for the delayed reply buddy. Yep, just do a hard reset and this should sort it out, it will tell you how to do it on the app

I’m still having issues on and off. As for other controllers I like the Scuf I reviewed a few videos back. Although saying that a lot of people moan about them. I also like the Nacon controllers, but again people seem to have issues with this too lol. I’ve not really have any real issues with the Scuf or Nacons.

Scuf is a hit or miss tbh. My infinity 4PS pro is knackered after only about 2 months of standard use

The Nacon Revolution has been my go-to for several years now. Just replaced my v1 with a v2 after three or so years of use. Bought an Ultimate as well. I've NEVER had a problem with their controllers. My only gripe on the v1/v2 are the back buttons being rocker-type switches instead of conventional buttons.

Thanks buddy, appreciate the feedback

No worries buddy, I’m glad it was helpful.

Trust me IT WILL WORK

Fire up the Delorean!

The Dark Knight yes

Will this work with the ps5?

Yep, so another there are so many issues when playing in wireless mode

That is a lot! What Country do you live in?

I’ve only used the Nacon Revolution Pro 2 and I didn’t have any issues with that controller, whereas I’ve had lots with the Razer.

Glad you’re not having any problems. It’s a great controller when it works!

So these problems are affecting all controllers or just some?

I don’t think it’s all of them, but there were a fair few from what I’ve gathered by looking at feedback on the web. A lot of the issues where sorted by firmware updates, but then there’s still people like me that has issues. I tried playing Doom with mine yesterday and it was ok for a while, but then became unusable because of the stick drift issues

Ahh okay cool. Well I’ve literally just played 4 hours of warzone and I’ve had no issues so fingers crossed mine is gold. Thanks for your responses man!!

Okay so it’s been a week and the only issue I am having is when I charge the controller I have to delete then reconnect the controller via Bluetooth devices. It will turn my ps on by pressing the ps button but then it just won’t connect. Very strange

Your gonna have to imported it from Europe

It just happens in wireless mode on mine

No the issue still exist

It's 120 dollars on Amazon, for euro it should be even cheaper

@@calebgao6931 yea now when it came out this controller cost 200 euro and it had filmware problems ( which they repair ) but again.......

@@cyfox9298 200 euro is expensive and I personally wouldn't buy it but other controllers like scuf astro have the same price too so there is nothing wrong with pricing.

Btw does it have a input lag or does it run smooth

Not sure TBH buddy

If you map the correct button to one of the back buttons then you should be able to. I do it in Borderlands 3 using the back button.

@@FrugalGaming Thank you

Lol

You can, it's designed to work with the PS4 :-)

LUCAS HOUSE I’ve done a lot of research and the Astro c40 seems the best if you’re used to the regular DualShock, the razor raiju is very good but the shape and extra buttons on the top aren’t good for non claw players. If you play non claw and are used to a regular DualShock I’d say go for the Astro c40’s, that’s what I’m getting.

I still have a few issues, but not as frequent as before I did the reset.

Yep, such a shame these things had so many issues

It is a shame they have problems. I haven't had any issues with the hardware, my problems have all ben software related

I have the xbox elite too and i have no hardware issues but razer just feels better in hands. They went 90% on comfort 10% on durability

Pablo Emilio Escobar Gaviria whats better elite or razor raiju

@@Maraudore they are both different but if you want something that will last definetely elite

Sinister Warrior no the sticks will not work proparly and

I'd personally say no after the issues I have had with mine

It is, but not as bad as when I first bought it. Still annoying as hell though!

Mine is now unusable in wireless mode due to stick drift issues :-(

You would probably be ok, but I'd say they are definatly better suited to larger hands

I know, it's a real shame that they have these issues. Not what you expect when the products are so expensive

@@FrugalGaming I have returned them, the issues did come back, and I had enough of them, I have tried all possible combinations of settings, installed drivers from my other laptop, tried them on the other laptop, same issue. I am considering to change them for the other brand, I wrote to service that I would love to exchange them for electra v2 3.5mm or kraken, but if they call me and ask, I'll ask for another brand, I have deathadder elite also and it is precise but again not having the option to set specific chroma lights to a specific dpi or profile disappointed me, and the scroll wheel started to squeak after 2 months of use, I sprayed the deodorant and it vanished, it's been a month since that.

Turkey is a foul place.

Nope

Theres a version thats for mobile

Lol, I’m afraid not 😀
