Рет қаралды 28,668

Күн бұрын

Following the heat of the HYPR PS5 DualSense review, it's Xbox's turn to recieve some pro controller love. Alot of my praise carries over, and the company has included stick drift in the warranty since we last spoke. What really puts a smile on my face is the rear button system despite 2 gripes.

Got a Hex Advanced controler two months ago, the back buttons were scrunchy/sticky. The extra joysticks i bought with the wouldnt even fit on it. The smart triggers you had to press hard to click them. And the stick drift after two months is not only bad, it literally jolts you around aggressively. Would not recommend.

The problem with mapping the back buttons on a controller, is that it has to clone from another button. Instead of adding another button. For example a keyboard have way more buttons than a controller, would be great if we could map one of the back buttons to be like one of the keyboard buttons instead of cloning the "A" button or something.

@rWinters Жыл бұрын

This is exactly what I do. I have the elite series 2, and using reWASD I bind my paddles to keyboard buttons

@alexatwood6205 10 ай бұрын

Getting a 3rd party pro controller that has dedicated buttons that show up on REWASD is great for example I have the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro that has Hall effect triggers and joysticks, two way mouse click triggers with 4 paddles and 2 extra buttons under the face buttons and I mainly play apex legends and even if you rebound buttons within apex a death box menu will override your bind so you can’t crouch or swap weapon but changing the back buttons to keyboard binds allows me to jump crouch and swap weapon all while being in a death box

I cannot imagine a situation where a console player would be using this controller on a pc. So really only pc players are concerned about this and really what game has that many extra game mechanics that will require you to remap your rear buttons to a button not on the controller.

I can lay back in a resting chair instead of sitting near a desk? I have damage in both my middle finger and my right wrist, making pain when using mouse. I have played on console since I was 2 years old, since sega mega drive, it gives me relaxed and nostalgia feeling. Some games are actually better on gamepad than pc, and yes I know this is hard to believe so let me give a few examples: Piloting games like seamot in subnautica. What else, oh yeah, the thumbsticks are analog :D. Instead of wasd making it either/or. It's actually really fun in many games if you want to walk instead of standing still or run.

Checked out the site and their grips for the custom Dualsense looks an awful lot like the grips on Extremerates back shell. Seems to be another texture tho, can you confirm? Asking cause I had the extreme rate ones and didn’t like the grips over time. So far Scuf has the best feeling grips imo (and your opinion too as I’ve learned watching way too many of your controller reviews, can you watch too many tho? Naw, I take that back).

@dharma9404 Жыл бұрын

Most of these controller companies are using ExtremeRate parts to varying degrees (Hypr, Cinch, Battle Beaver, Gamnetics...) with Scuf and Aim Controllers using proprietary parts. Companies with back buttons buy in bulk from ExtremeRate for the shells and even use their digital trigger systems to varying degrees. They just drill holes in the back of the shell and hot glue tactile switches in place.

I recently ordered a Hypr Xbox Controller. It took about 9 weeks to get. Excellent controller but definitely would NOT recommend the interchangeable thumbsticks. They have their own design and the actual grip on them is awful. I was able to get hall effect thumbsticks from them though which is a huge plus. Stick with regular OEM thumbsticks if you do order a HYPR controller though.

Hi, i just recently stumbeled across your channel and you seem to know whar you are doing. I need help with my controller, im using a Stadia gamepad. The bloetooth- mode is up and running, It works perfectly everywhere except on my PC. I connected it via bloetooth, my pc doesent recognize my controller as one. By troubleshooting on my own, I already tried all those steps mentioned in your troubleshooting-video from 11 months ago and nothing worked. Wired works though. Is this a Windows-sided issue? Do I need some external software to fix that? Can I use some sneaky hidden settings in steam or windows? I already searched a lot, but couldnt find anything.

Can a company make an original controller instead of customizing stock controllers at some point. It's sad.
