The video we have all been waiting for

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

As mentioned on social media last night it should have been a 31-way shootout not a 28, as I forgot to bring out the Nacon Revolution X, Nacon Pro Compact, and Cinch Custom. I have dedicated reviews for both Nacon linked at the bottom of this comment, and this pinned comment explains how the controllers fit into this comparison. These controllers may have RIG in the title which is Nacon’s newest branch of gaming peripherals. They are both wired and have Dolby Atmos virtual surround support from the 3.5mm headphone jack AND a subscription/activation to Dolby Access (a $15 value) on PC and Xbox consoles to be able to use them. Keep in mind this won’t sound as good as native Dolby supported headphones, soundbars, surround, etc..but it DOES sound very good as seen/heard in both my reviews. In North America Nacon has a 1 year warranty, but every other region gets 2 years. The Pro Compact is physically small, which is good it you have tiny hands but even if you have average/medium hands it is still pretty comfortable due to having full size thumb sticks with anti-friction rings, and oversized face buttons which I LOVED due to being big and flat. Mini retails for $50 but is only $30 only Amazon currently depending on which of the 3 color you choose. If you need a cheap controller this is a good option, however it has a permanently attached 9.8 foot cable and isn’t as comfortable (for me) as almost all of it’s competition. The Revolution X is still its launch price of $100 in white or black but goes on sale occasionally, and was $80 during my initial review. As for the cons slippery included thumb sticks, slick plastic shell with no rubber grips, a weird bumper design, and no trigger stops or smart/digital triggers, an expected staple of a $100 pro controller. On the positive this gamepad has 4 comfy rear buttons sunken into the rear shell flush you can map on the fly, the thumb sticks performed good in gamepad tester and have anti friction rings like its cheaper mini brother, the application on PC was quite good, and the Dpad and face buttons are large and clicky. A decent option at $100 however it feels and looks pretty cheap despite controllable RGB around the thumb sticks and I wouldn’t recommend it over the ThrustMaster Eswap X in the mid tier. I didn't recommend the PS5 Dualsense from Cinch Customs and the Xbox offering is no different. Their Xbox pre builts when they do have some in stock vary from $190 for no rear paddles (how, just how), $230 for a 2 rear button, and $330 for a 4 rear button (without a remap chip, again very overpriced). The controller builder on mobile phone is terrible to navigate, PC works better but is cosmetically ugly while creating a controller with VERY LIMITED options and parts. $182 for just 4 rear buttons on a stock black looking controller, and there is no remap chip available just like Aim so you are stuck with static rear button mappings you select in the builder. Build time is 6-8 weeks or 1-3 weeks for $30, and you only recieve a 30 day warranty or extend it to a still short 6 months for $30. On top of being overpriced, not having as much customization, a fairly long build time and short warranty, my biggest complaint is Cinch puts their 4 rear buttons stupidly close to each other, even if you are covering all 4 rears with just your middle fingers it feels like you are covering 2 buttons because they are so darn cramped. As with PS, for Xbox Cinch is at the bottom of the custom controller recommendation list.

[@nicholasforth3586]

But the sticks have 100% accuracy. Its the best controller I’ve used as far as accuracy goes. Eswap s is good too, but i went through 4 in a month due to some sort of technical issue they seem to have where the thumb sticks intermittently lose connection with the rest of the controller, so i finally gave up on it.

[@bohmfalk]

Bought the Nacon Revolution X a few days ago, it arrived yesterday. I was excited to open it up and test it out, was disappointed at the size. I have average size man-hands, and the controller is just uncomfortably large. Like, width-wise, I feel like it's built for longer fingers than mine. And the rear buttons (paddle spots) were just uncomfortable.

I still remember up to 2019 when reliable, first and second party Xbox 360 controllers, could still be found in physical stores for €20... What happened to people? Why do you all accept these unacceptable prices for controllers??? The only upgrade any of them got was a gyroscope and that's still not so expensive. Even Xbone and PS4 controllers still cost more than €30 and they're for 10 YEAR OLD CONSOLES.

I got one of their custom Design Lab built Elite Series 2 controllers and had to exchange it 3 times, finally ending up with a refund on the 4th send back due to partially unresponsive A/Y buttons. I actually think this one (not stick drift, bumpers, etc.) is an actual design flaw with the controller that maybe a lot of folks just don't notice? Big sadge though, the controller is otherwise nigh perfect?

[@RyanRayner13]

I think I'm on my 10th...maybe even more? elite series 2. They tend to reach a point where they become unusable for one reason or another at around 3 months for me. The longest one lasted me was maybe 6 months, and it was the white 'core' version. I only have to pay about $50 Everytime I need a new one thanks to Best buys insurance, I know I could just go through the manufacturer warranty when they break, but 50 dollars isn't a lot of money for me especially since I can get a brand new one the same day the last one breaks. I do use plenty of other controllers for specific use cases, but the elite 2 is my daily driver. I think I might try that new turtle beach controller instead next time my elite 2 breaks though.

[@loki1895]

Since my first Xbox One until my Series X, i actually had 8 (!) original Xbox Controllers turned into Stick Drift within a few months. It was always the left analog stick (used for running). So i was very happy to hear about the Gamesir G7 SE, the first Xbox Controller with Hall Sensor joysticks. And i really don't get why even premium Xbox Controllers still don't have this. Potentiometers are the weak spot of any controller, soon or later.

[@KID_CHAMELEON]

I just got the Instinct Pro last week after exchanging about 12 Elite Series 2 that all had stick drift out of the box and I absolutely love it. It's definitely overpriced though. It should be around $150 in my opinion. Although it's quite expensive, I'm definitely digging it more than the Elite Series 2 overall. Also, there was a card in the box that said the warranty was increased to a full year instead of 6 months. Definitely consider this controller if you have no problem dropping $210 on a controller.

I've got the Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma Xbox controller and it's the most comfortable thing I've ever used even considering the back buttons. I actually think they're better because I'm not using the kung-fu grip anymore. The extra bumpers are a huge plus too. I liked it so much that I sold a kidney and bought the PS5 version too. I play a lot of Elder Scrolls Online on PC so having 6 extra buttons instead of 4 makes it perfect for it.

I’ve used the Elite Series 2 rear paddles and they made my index and middle fingers numb. It’s almost like starting carpal tunnel syndrome. Then I played without using them and I could game again. Would rear buttons help solve the issue of losing that feeling with the paddles? I mostly play FPS games and thought maybe the 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth or Pro 2 might be a good replacement. But they only have 2 buttons 😕

You can easily test this by pressing and sliding over the bumpers, they pretty much turn into rapid fire buttons. Contact cleaner fixes the issue temporarily. I had never stick drift on the ones I had, though. Anyway thanks for the video. Prolly picking up one of them Gamesirs or an eSwap. Wish the wireless options would be cheaper... am not dropping 200€+ on a gamepad. lol

[@FordPickUPRed]

Elite series 2 is designed to break just after warranty. It is garbage. All 3.

[@n64slayer]

Everyone I know that owns an elite 2, including myself, has said they have many issues with it and unless you like going to fix your controller all the time I don't recommend it. The first thing to break is the bumpers, then stick drift then, the rubber starts peeling, even the caps on the trigger stops fall off like literally the first day owning the controller and it got lost in my carpet so... yeah not a great controller

[@LiquidSm0ke]

Great video, as always. Love your content. I do think you have it backwards, though -- regarding the Elite II units sold, and quality control issues. The reason such a high number have been sold (aside from being Microsoft's official top-tier controller, and its prevalence/stock in brick-and-mortar) was the "quality control" (strategic obsolescence, in my opinion...) issues. I had an Elite I for 1.5 years before I needed a replacement (well cared-for). When I "upgraded" to an Elite II, it lasted me 2 months. Warranty swapped for a brand new one - 3 months. Endless issues with stick-drift and non-responsive bumpers. Gave up on them awhile back. Hope the rumors of their improvement are true..

I actually have both the Advance and Ultra X from HexGaming. Both great controllers, though I actually prefer the Ultra X for its extra features and I actually don't mind the rear button placement (seeing as I use 2 rear buttons most of the time, but I can still reach the other 2 buttons with my middle fingers if need be). I built the Advance through their site and I really like how it turned out, but my only gripe is the lack of friction rings for the thumbsticks.

The Gulikit feels higher quality and more solid, plus those triggers are the smoothest I've ever felt, but the T4 has better touch on all the other buttons. The thing I don't like about both of them is the View button is placed badly. You can't really hit it without bumping the left thumbstick. One of the biggest reasons I got the T4 was so I could remap a rear button to the View button.

Everybody forgets to mention how bad the stick drift gets on eswap, ive had 4-5 eswap controllers now and all of them have had the worst stick drift imaginable develop within 1-2 months. They are great controllers when working perfectly but absolutely horrible durability. I don’t recommended buying, personally the wolverine v2 has very similar aim feeling and you get used to the back buttons and stick drift is FARRRR less common on it.

[@smashwindows8722]

I forget to add that im in queensland and getting replacements for the eswap is damn near impossible

I think people might be forgetting to mention it because they haven’t personally experienced it. For example I have owned several thrustmasters, and have yet to experience stick drift on a single one, also I usually hear raving positive reviews for these controllers and very few horror stories like what you’re talking about. Regardless thank you for sharing your experience, and I’m sorry it was a negative one. Just a quick ad on the Controller The You’re recommending has the same chance of getting stick drift as thrust master, the only difference is you can’t swap the sticks so you’re stuck drifting

[@smashwindows8722]

@@GamerHeavenOfficial oh man i would love for it to just be bad luck but this is my 5th eswap now. I grabbed the forza edition and literally within a WEEK the stick drift is insane rn (crazy for a $300 aud), now this is the worst one ive had so far.. usually itll last 3-4 weeks before anything really bad but yeah… i always look after my controllers and put them in their cases so its not a bad environment. I recommend the wolverine because even tho you may say it has the same chance, 5 eswaps have had awful drift and my first wolverine didnt have even the slightest bit of drift after 3 months (i returned because back buttons became loose). But yeah, again, i use these controllers A LOT in fps and ive tried quite a few controllers. Eswap has better comfortability but lacks durability, wolverine has better durability but lacks comfortability. The joysticks, personally, are the same maybe not mechanically but in game you will not feel a difference well I definitely dont. I also think not many people review these faults because not many people actually buy the eswap controllers and those who do review the controller dont actually use them for a long period consistently, im in aus and right now i have to get it shipped from yonkas away, i cant even get replacement stick modules I literally have to return the controller and wait for the replacement lol. So if you look from my point, its probably one of the worst controllers to buy if ur in aus

MASSIVELY IMPORTANT TIP HERE. In ds4 windows adjusting Max Output to something lower like 95% or even 80% and then putting sensitivity to 105% or 120% respectively will give you NEAR PERFECT circularity. The lower you put Max Output however decreases the accuracy so it's not recommended to go below 90%. It would be nice if you could explore this more btw lol

I am doing a DS4 windows tutorial in the near future, and I will cover the adjustment you mentioned along with a bunch of other useful tweaks.

Good ol Winnie . Glad you liked it brother

In the process of getting a Hex, but I recently got the Powera Fusion 3 and it has been excellent. The rear buttons are made for people with smaller hands and its been the most comfortable controller, even more so than stock XSX one. Dont sleep on it

[@darianvelazquez6996]

Fusion 3 was amazing, had absolutely no issues besides the cable giving out, i had to swap it out for a stock XBX controller, but i’m tired of having to put batteries in it and i have no job at the moment so i can’t get a play and charge kit, got an Elite Series 2, the x button is stuck so i’m gonna keep using that until the button stops working and then i’ll replace the series 2 with protection plans until they come out with the series 3 or i get a good elite series 2 batch

[@ctestdummy83]

My rb button just failed on my elite series 2 after 8 months. This is my 6th one. They just all break. Each time I use the warranty and get a new one. Buyer beware for sure

[@Dmwntkp99]

Older xbox controller still using, newer with share button had stick drift after 3 months, something tells me Micromoney is using crappier parts.

[@silencerstudent9381]

ON MY 3RD SCUFF IN A YEAR, not huge fan. buttons and sticks keep wearing out and the abxy has weird spots where it just doesnt work. its not just me either and not just xbox. my buddies ps5 scuff does same shit. we play 5hrs a day on cod.... every day. needless to say need the very best. my aim is ok, i like the paddle locations and general feel but not being able to remap has been a deal breaker. my elite controllers from microsoft are basically junk because of the sticks wearing out super fast and the trigger stops arent good enough- need digital triggers. how about input lag? not great there either. long story short im looking for a controller with magnetic sticks,. digital triggers, good abxy sensitivity with paddles that are usable and feels atleast ok in the hand. AND HAS VERY LOW INPUT LAG. use all of the above "wired" If you know of a controller that can meet all this critera for a fps freak like myself well... id love to hear it. money is not an issue

[@an0nam00se]

I've had drift on 6+ controllers. Do people really prefer clicky buttons so much they'd take the g7 over the SE?

[@Andyusa11]

Trustmaster eswap the mini sticks dont last 2 months...

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

No...they should last substantially longer. I've had my Eswap sticks for over a year although I'm sure it's a case by case basis. Good thing they are cheaply replaceable unlike most of the controller on this list.

[@ToppaliniTube]

I tried to claim warranty on my stock controller just a few days ago came w series x. 3 month warranty. Just fyi. Paid GameStop for new one w year warranty

[@paulolsen2300]

Of course cinch isn't on this list cause there a complete scam! And way over priced I would go with a scuff instinct or elite 2.!

[@Dilivioofficial]

why is no one talking about logitech f310? i rock that for a couple of years now. I think i`m missing out...

[@krrFrr]

again very funny, fast talking , that i do like when content creators dont talk video to a torture sermon without information in it. also informations packed on point. very good skill of sorting out bs.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Thank you

[@knarkknarkaren]

I'm looking for a wireless controller for series x without deafeningly loud buttons. What's my best option?

[@turntprophet7960]

Great video. Needed some alternatives since I’ve got three OEM Xbox controllers that got stuck drift.

[@ckhound1]

So far im liking the Hyperkin Xenon more than any other controller. Wired doesn't bother me in the slightest, and it feels awesome.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

It is a great controller. Check out my review of it if you haven’t already seen it

[@ckhound1]

@@GamerHeavenOfficial I have! It was a good review! I did pick up the white though, idk i just like it haha (though im finding i might be one of few haha)

[@ColtinBriggs]

What controller(s) for Xbox has/have the lowest input lag? Or are they pretty much all 8ms?

[@ericrivas6748]

Maybe I'm heavy handed but I've had stick drift on every controller I've owned 🤷‍♂️

[@johnnymathes5215]

Definitely would like tutorials on building your own controller and swapping to hall effect sticks and maybe adding back buttons to a ps4 controller

[@PhillipHarnage-l6c]

Is there any controller that has all the customization options that battle beaver has for under $400? 😂

[@Precise_Ant76]

My custom elite series 2 controller that I got from Microsoft design lab the right bumper began doing a double input when I clicked it once and now recently my left one it doesn’t do an input when I click it sometimes and my A button is starting to act up a little. I’m going to wait for the elite 3 to see if they fixed quality control and stuff and if not I’m going to consider getting a scuf and maybe by then scuf will make a new version of their Xbox controller so that you can have the ability to click all 4 back paddles at once and not this rolling your middle finger thing lmao

[@Precise_Ant76]

I thought about getting a replacement but they worded about the process for getting a replacement of my custom one being basically there wasn’t a guarantee that I would get it the same way back and I did pop it open to try to fix it and blah blah

[@Hatch3tWound]

I've had the same bumper issues which is why I'm here lol. I have had luck though popping the faceplate off and using a q tip with a light amount of alcohol to clean the bumper switches and then they work like new again for a couple months.

[@Precise_Ant76]

@@Hatch3tWound yep totally feel ya. I use a spray that is meant to clean electronics where it doesn’t leave residue and isn’t conductive and it helps when I do a cleaning, but after a bit I got used to the issue (even though it’s super annoying at times) and holding off and waiting until Aim controllers give an option for Hall effect sticks or when Microsoft finally release the elite series 3 lmao

[@dorkvader]

We need a yearly best controller update, including for Steam, android, and Switch!!

[@afletes4201]

The controller content in this video is GOLD

[@rlmast]

ok Im here because my elite v2 bumpers need to be re-soldered. my regular Xbox core controller had the bumper plastic contact piece break that pushed the button on the board. I superglued it for the time being. I just want to know which one will last the longest. I'm leaning towards the Hypr Controller so far. I play rocket league. I don't need extra buttons, but the bumper quality is important to me. Any recommends?

[@rthythmical_flow]

Hey 👋🏾 gotta a question what you say is the best controller for gaming with no extra buttons because I like crawl trigger stops I don’t mind having tho and money is no problem

[@PhillipHarnage-l6c]

Ngl, I really like the mega modz controller but no thumbstick tension option 😩

[@johnweeks3693]

I noticed the ace of spades in the background. What controller is best for destiny?

[@naturesgrace206]

You need to focus more on thumbsticks. For example, the new elite controllers have a minor stick wiggle due to the tension feature they added. Accurate sticks are probably the moat important thing on a controller when it comes to competitive play.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

In my individual controller reviews I have a section for the thumbsticks, but in a comparison with so many controllers I’m just trying to summarize the best and worst of each

[@naturesgrace206]

@@GamerHeavenOfficial Understandable. Great video either way.

[@siabee421]

I'm not gonna take any controller that's worth +$100 that's not hall effect😂😂😂

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

That’s a personal choice
