Just goes to show exactly how far ahead of its time the Dreamcast was and it keeps getting proven over and over again as time passes. Absolutely insane!

I hope they'll make an wireless Bluetooth edition in so many different colors

I have had this controller since its release, it only comes in the one colour and the lead is plenty long enough. The sticks do take some getting used too due to how precise they are but once muscle memory kicks in, the difference is night and day with this controller. Money well spent for sure, within the app you can set dead zones and re map any button. Worth mentioning that the L1 and R1 triggers are also ‘Hall effect’ so very accurate with input with the ability to turn on a mode with slightest input registers as %100 press, handy for FPS. At this price you all need to at least have this as a back up controller, although this has now turned into my main for games like COD.

I’m glad you said halls sensors have been around forever. Gets on my nerves ppl said it’s “new tech” when at the very least I’ve been using halls gimbals for drone racing 7 years ago LOL

This might actually be an insane option for competitive FPS titles with controller support. Checks a lot of boxes and is a compelling price point, especially for hall effect sticks. I might grab one of these for Halo or Call of Duty to see how it feels.

I literally just pulled out my Dreamcast 2 hours ago. Minus the bad controller wire connection, the controller itself works like a charm

There is a large benefit to having No drift, and that is that you can tighten your dead zone in your steam controller settings. That means you can have much sooner response with the slightest stick input. Baseline dead zones are well on the safe side, meaning you have to move the stick quite a bit before you see any movement in the game

*Both of my PS5 controllers have stick drift, i literally just ordered a custom white Xbox controller you can see it in my community tab. Of course i see this right afterwards*

For about 60 CAD thats on par if not cheaper than most of my local options. Definitely keeping this bookmarked as my next controller.

Sucks that microsoft doesn't let third-party companies release wireless controllers unless it's wired. I hate having the usb cord hanging out during gameplay since it gets in the way.

Looks like a very well built & thought out controller.

I have owned an Xbox one controller since 2013 and have never had stick drift with any of them. But this sounds like a great option to mitigate the drifting problem.

I’ve been using the T4 Kaleid for the last few months and those sticks have been a godsend over the Elite 2 I’ve been using prior.

The controller looks very nice, kinda sucks its not wireless though. Might look into getting one sometime later.

No stick drift is enough for me to buy this. The wire is the least of my problems when playing on my desk.

Every single controller I've owned all suffered stick drift. So, I'm excited about this.

Don't believe it, as everything is made to break, otherwise they can't make BIG $$$. Unlike the old stuff pre 80s or even 70s when stuff was made to last.

yoo kevin, thank you for this video (even if they paid ya for it)!! a controller with no stick drift for xbox is something i've been waiting for ages for. was super let down that the 8bitdo ultimate xbox controller didn't have hal effect sticks, so i will 100% be picking this up.

Don't all official controls for any of the main 3 consoles have stick drift?

Two things. Please share with third-party controller makers that there is the audience that wants a wireless Xbox like controller for the PS five that comes with rumble. it doesn’t extra paddles, but there needs to be a full controller option for the PS five with off stick the razor doesn’t have rumble which sucks for its cost. The second thing is an idea for a video I would be interested in watching from you is how you personally use the various controllers that you have. Have done a lot of and shared how you use that specific controller however, I would like to see how you use the controllers that you have. Which controllers do you how often do you use the additional buttons on controllers? How do you decide to use keyboard over a controller etc. I always see reviews of controllers, but not specifically how gamers actually use them in their daily lives most of us just have one or two controllers may be a pro and a base or maybe just various bass type controllers, so it’ll be interesting to see someone who has a wide variety of controllers decides to use them. I know you only use three including maybe a fight stick I think that will still be interesting how you go about picking a controller for the games your playing that day.

Both my controllers that I got with my Series S now have stick drift. They only lasted a year. Ordered this from Amazon. Looking forward to trying it out after hearing all the reviews.

So the first stick I am aware of that used Hall effect wasn't Dreamcast, it was the Sega Saturn 3D pad.

I have been telling everyone that listens that this and the G7(prefer the G7) are THE BEST wired controllers.... If xbox would allow any 3rd party to use their wireless tech, these would be hard to beat...and not only because the price Gamesir Thrustmaster (if they make a V3 with better back buttons and better ergonomics) 8bitdo pro 2 controller, but with offset sticks Victrix is pretty good too

I've been waiting for a controller like this for years and its finally here! I got mine a month ago right when it released and ive had zero stick drift so far with at least an hour every day of using it.

Hall effect is the only way to go. The accuracy and durability of the sticks is very important. The G7 SE absolutely delivers in this area. While lighter and cheaper feeling than the standard Xbox controller. The Hall effect sticks, organamics, and rear buttons are great. Not having to worry about batteries or recharging and faster input are the benefits of the wired style. I would definitely recommend this controller.

1:10 Nope.. that was from the Saturn 3D Control Pad!

Just picked up one of these because my older controller was drifting hard. The sticks do feel different, I'll try that dead zone adjustment.

I wish there was just an option to remove your existing controller's sticks and add hall effect aftermarket sticks.

Call me crazy or doubt me, but I have never had a controller drift in my life except back in the early 2000s with the PlayStation 2 after years and years of use. A severe and obvious case. Maybe I’m just lucky? Maybe it’s just not gotten severe enough for me to notice?

How long is the wire for the controller?

Wish they allowed an option to swap sticks like with the Xbox controller configuration options in the Gamesir Nexus app. It’s odd they have a lot of options but don’t have that one in particular.

Used your link and your code I got it down to $38.

“Potento meter sticks”

I'd rather just get any wireless controller with a warranty than this. And honestly the only Microsoft controller i've had stick drift problems with is the elite series 2, even my 360 controller still works. The thing that needs this most is the switch because damn do those controllers break easily

Don’t assume that just because it has Hall effect sensors sticks, that it won’t drift. Wood from beatemups complained that his Hall effect sticks drifted for him on another console.

Not into wired controllers as I sometimes play around kids and dogs. This is very cool tho! I've been having good luck with my latest controller tho. It's been drift free for several months now. Got a pink one from best buy.

Awesome thank you for showing this on youtube

That’s an awesome controller it’s just missing trigger stoppers. And a 8 directional d-pad.

I've had these for about a month and its so good, I really the customization. Just wish that it comes with other colors

Do they have them in other colours? Would love a Silver and Black combination.

I actually just ordered this as a back up for ny xbox elite series 2 controller since my first series 2 controller died after 2 months of use, gonna put this controller in my room for that xbox and use my wlite controller in the living room & if the elite craps out ill switch to using the g7. The only big feature this foesnt have that the elite series 2 has that i wish it had was adjustable thumb stick tension. I love using the max setting on the elite series 2 and i just feel like the thumb sticks are gonna feel loose on this controller

I love the T4 Kaleid I bought from them but I mostly play on PC so I'm good for now.

I've had about 5 gamesir controllers over the years and they've all developed different kinds of problems after just a few months of use, I'm not sure I'd buy this one. I mean one developed stick drift after 2 days One kept shutting off randomly while having a full battery, one's dpad stopped working after 2 months, and the last 2's bumpers started either sticking or not working at all. And I'm not someone who breaks stuff when they get angry, I've never thrown the controllers or smashed them. Usually played racing games with them. But hey your experience may and will vary and I've probably been really unlucky, I'm very unlucky in most aspects of my life so that might just be it and maybe gamesir is perfectly reliable and I got literally the only defective ones in the world 5 times in a row I may just be really unlucky

Had potential but it’s not wireless bummer

I bought this 1 month ago and i'm ultra flabbergasted. It's ultra accurate. The only one thing is that i dont know how to switch prifile from The controller. (i play on pc) 🎉❤🎉 i love this controller. Before this i had the élite Series 2 and the sticks fuck themselves in 1 year idk why😅.

I’ve had an Xbox one for 10 years and a series X for one year and I’ve never experience one instance of drift

None of my Xbox controllers have ever drifted. Why am I constantly seeing videos about driftless Xbox controllers. Am I just very lucky?

Most interesting pronounciation of potentiometer

buying it now

Nice Kev!

Should have been hall effect gens ago, Dreamcast had it. Saturn had it. I bought a Retro Fighters controller for Original Xbox / Switch / PC that will be my daily driver.

The gul kit controller is the same thing but wireless and for the switch (and pc)

Still baffles my mind on how I can pick up an original xbox controller that has been played hundreds of hours and has no drift but a new xbox controller wont last a month.

I have a PowerA controller like that, minus the magnetic sticks, and I love it. Do you have a UK link?

This is perfect for since i use wired controllers to get faster feedback

I love that controller man I also don't mind a ps5 controller that has this in mind but I haven't come across any problems with my original ps5 controller.. But don't mind a mod one

Finally a licensed hall effect xbox controlelr. This is definitely going to be my next controller. Even if its wired, idc.

Can you use or is it possible to use aftermarket cables for the controller, like say, CableMod?

hope in a Bluetooth version, i would insta buy it

If they make a wireless one I’d buy it.

I just bought it. But it has very very minimal stick drift out of the box. I guess that’s normal ? I have to say my elite 2 controller had like 12 deadzone settings on mw3 and this one I can keep it on 3 deadzone without drifting

I tried using the Back buttons on the controller, but my hands would shift downwards overtime, to the point where my palms are at the edge of the grips Im guessing either my hands are too big, or the controller’s smaller than the regular Xbox One controller

THEY COULD HAVE (& WERE CAPABLE) of DOING THIS A LONG TIME AGO..., BUT INSTEAD KEPT RAPING US 4 💰$ ON REPLACEMENT CONTROLLERS OVER THE YEARS.

The next Xbox Elite controller needs these types of thumb sticks or it needs to be like the PlayStation Dual Sense Edge with replaceable thumb sticks!

How long is the cord? I suppose it doesn't really matter, I never had a 3rd party controller that I didn't regret buying. They always have issues.

My old Xbox 360 controllers never drifted. Then again, I only used them for about 2 or 3 years before switching to Xbox One/X/S controllers. Funny thing is, in my experience, it's the OFFICIAL controllers that drift. None of the 3rd party licenced controllers that I have, which includes the 360 controllers have developed drift. Weird. 🤔

I wish my Nintendo joycons were as reliable as my Xbox controllers!

Uhhh we know the gulikit exists and did this about a year ago right?

didn't 8bitdo make an official xbox controller with hall effect sticks called "The Ultimate Controller"

Wired only feels so dated 😢

Aw man i thought Wireless controller

I'd buy one right now if it was wireless

When are they gonna make one for PlayStation 😢

I just bought the Starfield Controller and that was one of my major concerns. For $80 it better not drift.

Too bad I can't use a wired controller. I was so excited until I saw the cord.

I've never had a Xbox Controller Drift Problem ?

Not interested until they have a wireless version

It's not the first. Maybe first wired with hall sensors, but not the first.

Second I see wired....deals off. Xbox needs to allow these other companies to use their wireless standard. The average gamer does not want to use wired controllers in 2023. 99% of us aren't playing at EVO tournaments,we want clean wire free setups.

Beanie and T-shirt. So, is there hot or cold inside? 🤔

Sad to informe you but ps3 somo models used that still got drift

Is this wired only???

Should had been wireless, like what the hell..

Not necessarily, I bought mine recently and I put my dead zones to 0 in apex legends and it had drift towards the left.

How do you even make a wired controller in 2023....

How much?

mines got stick drift out of the box

is there a Controller like this one for playstation 4 & 5 ??

It too. My Xbox one x controller 3 months to start drifting. 😡

no back paddles 😢

This is NOT a drift free controller. ThePhotoTechy has done reviews on it and his is drifting already. Other people I have read in comments have also had drifting issues.

Looks great but an obvious copy of 8bitdo's current controllers

Ahhhh man, its wired?! Pass

Cmon Microsoft thats worse compared to what pS5 controller is offering 😅

😂 stick drift helps aim assist kick in.... I purposely run 0 dead zones on my elite V2 to get stick drift and let me tell you there are times on cod where I feel like I'm hacking with aim bot.... and apex legends well let's just say it's that strong if a player runs past my screen it rips towards them..

Meh the size of this controller is a huge downside. If you have bigger hands then you won’t have a good time using this controller. It’s based off a series s/x model and not the 1708 which is bigger

I'll say this about every third-party Xbox controller: they're all useless without wireless. Microsoft is really stupid for locking that down, especially with the Hyperkin retro controllers.

Too bad it's only wired

wired controller in 2023? what a shame

Literally had the same controller and joycons since day one never had a problem. Joycon drift is cap!
