[@TeeKeeps]

Yeah I was comfy no lie

[@AmbientShrub]

I've had it for almost 2 months and it has been great so far! There's no delay on any games with it, and absolutely no stick drift! That means I can play shooters with zero deadzones. If it stays working a long time, this will become my favorite controller of the Xbone gen.

[@DARTH-WOLF-88]

How does the size comparison to the Series x/s controller, is it wider or taller?

[@AmbientShrub]

@@DARTH-WOLF-88 it feels a lil bit smaller in general and its pretty lightweight. The joystick's concave surface area is smaller too. I guess my one complaint with this controller is that you will press the triggers way too easily. The triggers have hardly any resistence to them so you might find yourself shooting or throwing grenades by accident a lot. The app includes a deadzone feature for the triggers as well, but it's still something you want to be aware of.

[@SeekingtheChrist]

I bought this controller and took it back after 3 days . The controller itself felt great . Amazing paddle system and pretty good trigger stops . However my issue was the sticks . It doesn’t register movement for slight adjustments. I play linear on FPS games and because of the controller not being capable of micro adjustments I took it back . Before anyone says well there’s software to adjust the sticks …. Yes there is but it doesn’t effect this. It’s the same thing Razer did with the v2 chroma . Wouldn’t register micro adjustments until they put out new software . If Victrix puts out an update to fix this issue then I would go buy it again . All this being said if you play FPS and your shooting curve is steady or classic then this is a great controller. If you play linear think again .

[@YokedIrish420]

I wish I knew the difference. I play dynamic and switched recently from standard and only noticed a faster turning response instead of holding it down to get to top speed of revolution. Not entirely sure how they all are different.

[@mohtasimb62]

@Justin Goodall I may be late but I currently have the razer v2 chroma and I play on linear settings and face no issues (according to me). Micro adjustments were difficult on the v2 chroma because of the deadzone issue which Razer recently fixed (just update the software) and lower the deadzone to 1 (4 by default lol). Hope this helps

[@n54kv]

@@ej9668 Absolutely. I was sold on the Razer cause of all the gimmicky crap like the tactile buttons and chroma, so much that I basically ignored the bad reviews 🤣 But the paddle design is horrible, and more importantly the thumbsticks feel wildly inaccurate (to me, at least) Maybe it's a deadzone issue, or a byproduct of the awkward holding position, but it's very hard to trace objects or "draw" a small circle with your crosshairs, basically anything requiring micro adjustments. When using the Razer, my accuracy in Halo actually dropped about 15% over a 2 day period. The Victrix on the other hand, felt great right out of the box. Accurate, has legit hair triggers, good paddle design, etc. They basically nailed all the stuff that actually matters. It doesnt have chroma or tactile buttons, but the buttons feel fine and work as they should. The Gambit is also kontrol freek compatible, and the Razer isn't. Hope this helps

Just purchased mine based on your review. Definitely subscribed. Like your style, and your attitude, it's trusting.. Anyway, I've never owned an aftermarket or "pro" controller. Last time I had an aftermarket controller was back when MadCats had their crazy lit up fat boy ones.. awful stuff... lol, I only bought them because they were cheaper. Anyway, my first impressions were that the Diamond shaped D pad feels AMAZING when my thumb rests on it. I think they went with that angle because when your thumb rests on it, it's literally cradled into the grooves of the D pad.

This controller was made for fighting games in mind. The input delay has some importance in a same-frame-input-clash situation specially on a "local tournament" scenario.

This my favourite controller to date pure and simply because of the performance of the sticks, paddle design, trigger design and trigger stops. Out perform any controller I've used. Elite 1& 2 and the standard SX controller and Razer V2 chroma. I don't care for the marketing BS either, all I know is it works and does it well. Where it falls short is it feels cheap. Doesn't mean it's built bad or anything or it feels like it will break easily. But comparing it to an Elite or Razer it feels cheap. But for $100 bucks it's the best bang for you buck. Looking forward to where these guys go next because I think they will make the controller market have to step it up for price, features and performance. I use KontrolFreeks and added some gamergrip (custom cut to fit) to the backgrips.

[@LibationsByLayton]

Great review! New subscriber because I get your humor so effortlessly! Great job!!!

[@blackbeardteach1193]

So im about a year late but i brought this controller and have a couple issues. #1 Theres an in-built deadzone in the thumbsticks that isn't possible to turn off which is probably why there's no drift ever. While it seems like a good thing, it makes micro adjustments impossible especially if you use a linear response curve in fps games. #2 I shoot with the right bumper as opposed to the right trigger and for some reason it is impossible to fire an automatic weapon without the input being interrupted. This makes it extremely unreliable.

[@Just_Ve]

I had one for a bit, love it but it was too light, I ended up going for the Fusion Pro 2 but overall it was a great controller and I didn’t knew that weight would make such difference but is just more comfortable for me to have something heavier. One big plus was the software, so much shoot you can do directly on console and no need to plug on your computer, even updates can run through the Xbox, that’s was awesome. I may give it a chance in the future it for now I’m happy with the Fusion Pro 2.

[@mozzarella3416]

I’ve gone through about 6 fusion pro 2s in the last year. I love it, but the durability of the housing for the paddles is terrible. Unfortunately….

[@koala._.9944]

the fusion pro 2 has fishing weights in it and the paddle housing is terrible quality

[@Estinus]

I am floored by the fact that more competitors haven't copied Razer's Wolverine (excluding the mediocre mappable buttons/worthless sensitivity buttons on bottom). The mechanical XABY buttons are a delight, and the mappable for lack of a better term L4/R4 buttons between and offset from the triggers and bumpers are literally game changing. Being able to roll in souls games without relenting control of the camera makes a huge difference for me personally, and is objectively more intuitive than trying to learn 4 paddle/button settings on the undercarriage as opposed to 2 below, two up front.

[@Kilonova99]

The hexagonal plates would be good for super monkey ball aswell

[@Kilonova99]

And any game i guess that has only 8 way input like arcade games

[@WithjusTapistol]

Buyer beware, there is an "intrinsic deadzone" set on the the thumbsticks. The sticks don't drift because it's not reading small adjustments. Not a big deal unless you are high sens player that plays with a low deadzone. Had to return mine, it messed up my aim too much.

[@MrMightyZ]

The very light but VERY stiff thumbsticks are the hardest thing for me to reprogram my muscle memory for. After about 30 hours of play I still can't easily do flick shots. Very stiff like stiffer than an elite 2 on maximum stiffness. Besides that it's totally fantastic and I'm hoping I'll get used to it.

Just felt like it was my responsibility to say that I’m currently on the second one of these controllers that has the same quality control issues of the last one. Out of the box the controller feels, looks and performs great! The only issue is if you use it for more than 20 hours of game time. With both of the controllers I have had issues with button/trigger registration (which I have clips of in the software), stick drift (which I “fix” every other hour) and the deterioration of the back buttons. Customer service was super helpful and sent me a new controller after I jumped through all their hoops set in place (calls,video of errors, emails, etc.). However, they needed me to send my controller back to them to get it serviced. So for about a week and a half I couldn’t play any of the titles I wanted on controller… After I received my second “new” controller I noticed that the issues of the original controller had repeated itself. Never had anything like this happen with any Scuf or Razer controller I’ve purchased. After returning this controller I think I’m just gonna settle for an elite series 2. I hope that I run into far less issues with that!

Hi, I'm from Poland and I bought it for $ 90 Gambit yesterday. The first impression was pretty good. The surface of the analog sticks could be a bit larger. The triggers are very fast. So fast that I had to reduce their sensitivity through the applications because I was accidentally shooting while playing Warzone all the time. I was counting on triggers the most and here it is great, but I really wanted paddles. And here I have a problem. While playing, I squeeze the controller and press the paddles all the time by accident. I programmed them under L3 and B to run fast and slide, but it bothers more than helps. I wonder if I will be able to get used to using them at all. In general, I think that $ 90 is probably worth buying. We'll see after a month of playing if I was right. Do any of you have paddles programmed for Warzone and can write what your settings are? Thanks

I would love if you actually did an input latency test because I can tell you from testing and experience that certain controllers have better input latency than others. For example an Xbox one controller plugged into pc game me about 3.75-4 ms latency with every input I did but when I used 3rd party software to overclock my controller, those numbers when from 0.75-1.1 ms input latency. I think there’s a lot more to some of these controllers than even someone with your experience might know and it would be nice to see some actual testing to see what the actual input times are so that we aren’t saying stuff that isn’t true, or debunking marketing tactics when they just might be true.

How long do you think this controller will last (joystick drift, etc.)? I considered getting the Xbox Elite Controller (Series 2) on sale but decided against it because people were saying they had joystick drift within a year.

[@Zykrex]

I have no qualms or bias towards any controller (except maybe the Razer Wolverine), and this is the first video I watch from you - but saying that something is false marketing because you don't agree with the difference loses a lot of credibility. I understand what you mean, almost no casual player will notice the 1/50th-1/100th of a second difference between a wired and wireless controller. But many players want to be optimal, even if they can't feel it themselves. A lot of this doesn't even come down to "feeling" it either, it's just raw numbers and knowing that there are probably a lot of interactions that went in your advantage because of a fraction of a second quicker inputs. I think it's important to be as clear as possible, and I get that you tried (since you did make a comment towards "unless you're an esports player"), but I just would not call it false advertising without first actually checking if it's actually the fastest controller. As a fighting game player, I did have to switch to a wired controller back in the previous console era because the 1/50th of a second of extra delay would actually make some interactions impossible to react to for me (while it was possible with a wired one). Literally just 1-2 frames of delay would cause that. This generation thankfully things have improved even more and I am able to use a wireless controller that only has 0-1 frames of delay (about 0.4). Also, you mention wireless controllers able to play wired - a lot of those are even slower. The Xbox Elite for example ranges around 2-4 frames of delay (WHICH IS HUGE, even bigger than most wireless) even when wired. It's not necessarily about wired vs wireless. There's also the data transfer speed of the cable, the polling rate of the controller and a lot of other bullshit that gets in the way. And for people wanting to buy "competitive" controller, I think it is actually important to know how fast/slow your controller is even if you can't feel it

Can you make the back paddles register or map directional inputs and retain the directional inputs too Gonna use it in fighting games

[@rekrabfps1610]

I’m confused I thought this video would have been a prime candidate to slip a little delag in somewhere…

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

I keep forgetting about delag lol

[@rekrabfps1610]

@@GamerHeavenOfficial that’s ok, we never will lol

[@oriel6six6]

Great video as usual, so if money wasn't a concern what's the best pro controller for PC games mostly warzone? I was looking around and i liked the elite but this one looks interesting too

[@NightWarrior893]

Don't get an Elite or Scuf I have both an the Elite had stick drift straight out of the box and less than a month the left bumper isn't working. About to send it back for a refund. The Scuf is great when it works, keyword when. It literally just disconnects by itself no matter if it is wireless or wired. Everything is updated. Then Scuf said you can send it in and it will be $100 just to troubleshoot it, then an untold amount to actually fix it. I just got the Gambit in the mail today and will be trying it out in the next day or two.

[@RainyVisions]

yup ima have to get one for my birthday

[@ckhoho]

could you remap the trigger buttons to the back buttons?

[@aderjom127]

Got mine on sales @ gamestop $40. I call that a win😊

[@teclishighloremasterofhoet7488]

This thing is garbage. I bought one and immediately returned it. It feels cheap, is over sensitive, and has an odd layout. This playskool toy is definitely not worth 100

[@Taikuken]

💯% facts

[@ninjaxgeckos7457]

Lol each to their own

[@WaveGodx718]

Nah buddy i just bought this controller was struggling on 2k24 with the shooting and shot extremely well all day yesterday with a new build with no badges maxed out i definitly approve of this controller

[@Decimation_Minecraft]

@@WaveGodx718I’m just getting it for rocket league. But I watched a different review and he said it was amazing so I guess it’s just preference

[@WaveGodx718]

@@Decimation_Minecraft yea it dont feel as good as the licensed xbox controller but my response time is super improved

[@Red.exe7]

When the trigger stop is on the shortest amount. Can you charge up the plasma pistol in Halo infinite?

[@Extermin8ed]

Yes, it adjusts the deadzones along with the trigger pull. Has the best hair triggers you'll find on a controller without spending 250+

[@Red.exe7]

@@Extermin8ed Yeah I eventually bought it and like it a lot

[@Extermin8ed]

@@Red.exe7 I just realised this is an 11 month old comment haha. But yea they're great controllers, I use mine for infinite also and like it even more than my elite 2.

[@Red.exe7]

@@Extermin8ed Yup, I like it much better than the power a spectra since I can charge up a plasma pistol with the victrix.

[@AtomLabX]

Great review, but missing the point of the hexagon gate. The company makes controllers for fighting games players in mind first, that’s why its not a niche and will be used. Other than, I agree on everything said, great review.

[@ASOGAMERS]

I always thought PDP was a low end brand. This definitely has a ton of features for the money. The elite 2 has been on sale for $139 and probably a better option in my opinion (includes a charger and can be used wirelessly). This seems to be a great option if you couldn’t find the elite 2 on sale. I like the tension adjustments on my elite 2. I may have missed it, but how does the tension on the thumb sticks feel? I’m not a fan of the super loose sticks (I use the middle tension setting on my elite 2). Oh, and I shoved my thumb for you 😉

[@theprotectorplay7399]

If it's about tension for you the victrix it's not the one because they are plactic tumbstick.

[@Godsend12936]

Elite 2 Is one of the slowest and least responsive controllers you can get

[@iBlueClovr]

Its a cool controller but idk whats up with the triggers

[@raw7864]

Love the vid I was just wondering you said you would link the cable extender in the description I was looking for a good one that can have the keep the same speed and quality as it would without the cable extender, please link one as I really need one.

[@theprotectorplay7399]

Yes this is the faster controller i ever tested even better than razer's for sure, there's no drift it's a 100% balance controller and i got 4 pro controller's.

[@KAPAFlyer]

Well, consider yourself the only other go-to for honest controller reviews. The other being vCuda! Because most others get paid to "talk-up" shit only for me to be convinced and then greatly disappointed. I'm considering this or the Thrustmaster eSwap Pro. Which would you recommend?

[@mjanusic]

I am currently in the same dilemma. Which one did you choose and how did you like it?

[@333Abs]

I’m going for this controller next, after deciding I can’t keep paying £200 for an elite series 2 now I only get time to play a few hours a week. I’ve heard it can have issues after a few months but on Amazon it comes with a 2 year warranty anyway!

[@theringmaster3684]

I bought this controller and recommend it! “Elite” controllers are overpriced just, way too many problems with them.

[@alphazero_twitch5617]

Hi, I overclocked and tested input lag on the gambit and I got 1.8ms and 500hz. Is this correct for you? or is it an error?

[@alexfields6562]

Yo i just got this controller and it absolutely rocks sickest controller ive ever played on and i love the rubber plate on it it never leaves my hands its the shit i feel like a purple muscle car goin around a corner 190 mph shootn fools hahhah

[@Todrom]

Hey man i love your content and i wont buy a controller without your expert stamp of approval. My question is if you had an unlimited budget and you could get any controller for FPS (on PC) what would it be? I had some bad luck with scuf and aim controllers now im back on the market for a new controller.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Excluding scuf and aim , it would be a 4 button battle beaver with increased thumbstick tension on the right stick , some kontrol freeks and overclocked of course

[@Todrom]

@@GamerHeavenOfficial awesome thanks

[@hunghitochad7508]

I'm a bit late but would you recommend this controller over the elite series 2 controller?

[@kahlilmodz]

I might buy this!

[@OkTrevor]

How do you set the deadzones to zero??? There's only a calibration option that automatically sets it for you. I'd love to set mine to zero if I can

[@yeeto-247]

I might use the purple faceplate, if I choose to get it, currently like £75 on amazon, that or a razer wolverine, if the tournament was present, rip. My favourite colour is purple, hence why I might use it from time to time

[@Tom-nh5lr]

Not Overhyped in terms of latency on Xbox Console. Ps5 controllers on pc have 8k polling rate which is the highest out of any. Xbox controllers have always had bad latency. But on Xbox Console the Victrix has a noticeably faster response time compared to any other Xbox controller.

[@DanielRuiz-qk1dc]

This ^ is exactly how I feel right now. I play Apex Legends on series x, and the input delay is bad compared to my old gen console.

[@kevintucker8462]

Hey bro i came to this review to ask if you are going to review the new updated version to this controller the Gambit Prime to see if there are any differences

[@goker555hacks]

I'm having an issue where the left stick also moves the right stick. Anyone else have this problem? I already had to have it replaced because the analog sticks would now fully register

[@Saige_tau]

Does this problem still occur?
