Best Xbox Controller-28 Compared in 3 Price Points (Ultimate Showdown)

[@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.

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.

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.

On my third elite now, and when you get a good one it’s a fantastic controller. And if you don’t, at least Microsoft sends you a replacement within a month (in my experience). If they offered Hall effect sensors on their controllers in the future, I would be tempted to spend some of these outrageous prices you see in the controller market nowadays

[@bruxis]

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.

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.

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.

[@kingstondizzgaming]

Definitely my go to controller

[@asstroh]

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..

[@batman.darthmaul]

I recently picked up the Gulikit KingKong 2 Pro as well as the Gamesir T4 Kaleid. I'm using them as PC X-box controllers on Steam. I like both of them quite a bit....maybe the T4 the most. 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.

[@Lumilicious]

42:35 nah, man. I have had 4 and they all developed double clicking bumpers (my current one even has a double clicking A button) after 3-4 weeks. 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

[@pspcow]

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

[@polsinstructor9174]

Still can't believe not a single hall effect sensor controller with 4 back buttons. Elite version 3 anyone? Also, might wanna do a video on reWASD compatibility. It reprograms the back buttons of a gamepad for pc, but only works with the elite and a couple other controllers.

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

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

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. I’d also like to clearify what you’re saying would SHOW good results in game pad tester but generally FEEL like ass due to not having 20% of your outer movement on the stick, and using a higher sense to try to counteract that.

We stay at the low side, budget controllers. For us Gamesir pads is the way to go. Cheap, well built, comfortable, very durable. You can't go wrong with them. I wish there were wireless. And I will keep asking for this until u do: a review on the Flydigi Vader 3 pro. If you manage to get the Green One Piece coat, even better.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Hey brother. Glad you enjoyed. That’s trash about the market over there in Brazil 🇧🇷. I swear I’ll be reviewing that controller within 2 weeks

[@Kyle_S_R]

My Elite 2 has been horrible. Thankfully I have it insured, I had it replaced at 9 months due to broken paddle buttons, the replacement has had to have the RB repaired THREE TIMES. One of my friends has the same issue with his RB

[@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

[@jamesducharme1711]

I wish you'd mention what kind of face button and dpad switches they use moreso than the rear buttons, like personally I don't think that I could be convinced to buy a membrane controller at over $180, but I have to presume that the majority of these use them by default because there's actual jack for info on one of the most important aspects of the controller as a whole literally anywhere at all. So I'm going to go through and list all of them here for anybody else who has tasted the microswitch and can never return to facebuttons with the tactility of a balloon and a dpad with all of the glorious responsiveness of a dinnerplate.

[@jamesducharme1711]

Stock Xbox Controller: No facebutton microswitches; tactile dpad Turtle Beach React-R: No facebutton microswitches; Dpad is like a teddybear's taint Turtle Beach Recon: No facebutton microswitches; Dpad squeesh. PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced: No facebutton microswitches; Dpad is membrane 8Bitdo Ultimate Wired: No facebutton microswitches; Dpad is membrane HyperX Gladiate: No facebutton microswitches; Dpad is membrane Gamesir G7: Microswitch Facebuttons; Tactile Dpad Gamesir G7 SE: NO tactile facebuttons (??); Dpad is membrane (????) PowerA Fusion Pro 3: No facebutton microswitches; Dpad is membrane Thrustmaster E-Swap X pro has hotswap-able bits which are interchangeable; ALL mechanical. The S cannot swap the facebuttons and Dpad, STILL MECHANICAL :D PDP Victrix Gambit: No facebutton microswitches; Raised Dpad which is probably membrane? Razer Wolverine Ultimate: Microswitch facebuttons that are so tactile that I no longer want to use anything else; A Dpad which uses a different kind of tactile switch which is currently failing on me because of its scuffed modular design: right switch needs extra pressure past the click, and the spring mechanism is a flat, thin plastic U shape on either side of the button, which are prone to wearing out and are a pain in the ass to try to bend back into shape. Regardless, the split dpad design (shown 21:40) is so nice that I'm starting to hate that I can't find anything else with the same one. Razer Wolverine V2 Chroma: Same facebuttons; Dpad is also clicky, and is likely to last longer. Dreamcontrollers: basically Stock Xbox Controller Skins, so see above HYPR Recon: No facebutton microswitches; tactile Dpad AIM Xbox Series controller: hell if I know man, people only talk about the fucking paddles and the customisability, as though I don't have eyes. SCUF Instinct Pro: No facebutton microswitches; probably tactile dpad? HEX Advance: nobody was interested in talking about either the face buttons or the dpad at all, or showing the face of the controller in any capacity other than to show off the custom faceplate, because nobody wants to use the buttons on their controller or something idk my head is about to blow clean through my desk. HEX Ultra X: No facebutton microswitches; tactile dpad BattleBeaver custom: Can have microswitches for the facebuttons and Dpad, but is also fuckoff expensive Evil Custom: Can have facebutton microswitches, and while the Dpad doesn't have any switch swap options, it's probably stock, so tactile. Megamods: No facebutton microswitches; tactile Dpad Xbox Elite Series 2: No facebutton microswitches; tactile Dpad Please tell me if I'm wrong about any of these. You'll have told me more than even the manufacturers themselves, this shit took me like 2 hours when it totally shouldn't have

[@jamesducharme1711]

Here I am yet again with newfound trust issues because I bought the vader 3 pro, only to learn that the fucking microswitches are buried under a silicone membrane because everyone would universally prefer to negotiate with rubber instead of getting to immediately press the fucking button, my disappointment is immeasurable, it feels like the power button on an otterboxed phone.

[@Immanuelm.8]

My elite controller just went in on me 😮‍💨 thanks bro bro

[@upthecreekyt]

What'd you replace it with? My 5 year old scuf is finally giving out on me. And the prices have gotten a little silly.

[@Immanuelm.8]

@upthecreekyt I got a new one from Microsoft, but I customized them so they would be okay. Try to check the sight and see if you can customize it.

[@uEK97coupe]

Best game pad reviews hands down! Im surprised you didnt mention the nacon revolution x. Just picked one up on prime day for 60$ and wow what an amazing controller! The software is really good and the thumb sticks are buttery smooth.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Thanks

[@nickm8651]

I've had my Nacon RIG Revolution X Pro for over 1.5 years playing at least 4-6 hours a day and the sticks are still working excellent compared to my Xbox elite series 2 stick had stick drift in three months along with all my other big-name brands like Razor Wolverine, Scuff etc. are all garbage do to the analog outdated sticks they use. The Nacon RIG Revolution X has been very solid and truly the best one ever for durability and no stick drift. FYI, they did just come out with a new one that has hall effect sticks. I think my "RIG" version has them, that's why its lasted this long, someone said to get the one that says RIG because they thought that one has the hall effect sticks. The only thing I wish they would have updated on the new one was to make the body closer size Xbox controller and update the back paddle buttons on the handle so you can click the rear ones easier.

[@MotivatedMike24]

On the hypr controller website I saw they added the magnetic holfect sensors for the thumb sticks

[@ayemaksicur5176]

Could you recommend me a controller with 'clicky' face buttons with a more traditional xbox shell design (preferably wireless as well)? I managed to borrow a Razer Chroma v2 for a few days and the buttons were such a joy to use, they instantly got me hooked. But I just can't get used to the shape. it's the only controller I've ever held that actually made my hands cramp up. It seems like Battle Beaver is my only option but It's pretty hard finding any information about how those buttons sound and feel. I'd really like to know how they stack up to the Razer buttons but it seems like most Battle Beaver reviewers skip over tactile buttons.

[@ColtinBriggs]

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

[@jameshastings6538]

Is the polling rate on Xbox Series X limited? I’m trying to figure out if the controller speed matters or not. Was looking at the GameSir G7 SE and wondering if you can take advantage of the 1000hz on Xbox

[@Direalest]

Awesome video 💯💯. I watched your video on the GS G7 and then the one on the GS G7 SE. And was at crossroads which one to get but this video made up my mind GameSir G7 it shall be. Controllers are expensive where I live so I'll have to care it so doesn't get stick drift quickly.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Right on, I hope the G7 works out great for you for a long time.

[@Direalest]

@@GamerHeavenOfficial it's good feels amazing by the way no lies told. Only issue I had Is the stick felt differently than what I was used to. Especially when playing cod. So I had to play around with the stick dead zone.

[@sumpfschabracke6]

​@@Direalest are the Sticks a little bit looser?

[@zackisback960]

Really Great video except the only that I didn’t like was the mic kept on picking your saliva noise. Like the wet noise. But really, thank you

[@rs7_von]

bro now i cant unhear it💀

[@grandmasteraj855]

Dude the young Jonah hill clip was goated. 🤣

[@dougiedoug03]

Did your opinion change regarding the rear buttons on the eswap x?

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

They did grow on me, I don’t completely love them but they aren’t terrible

[@rickyjulian5897]

what controller would you recommend for someone who loves the xbox style controller, but wants to be able to overclock said controller on pc?

[@esportsmiyagi]

In your opinions what controller for xbox playing on console so i can't overclock is best. I enjoy the elite series 2 but was wondering if theres better options. I enjoy the thrustmaster but hate the back button design. Ive hear the victrix is pretty good along with the scuf instinct but heard the scuf is costy and the back buttons suck but triggers are amazing. Then theres the razer v2 or v1. Unless theres any other

[@outbakbandit9879]

Dude much appreciated!

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

No problem friend
