btw the last one after a while like 4 years the paddles stop working still super good

[@triggeredbeetle5370]

For the best deal thats add ons, get the strike pack eliminator and the quickshot trigger stoppers. This is so it has paddles, trigger stoppers, and grips making it more like an elite controller. The trigger stops usually are 15 to 20 bucks and they have grips attached to them. This is what I use right now ( minus the paddles, I want the eliminator for christmas if my parents dont let me get something else) and its great.

[@SixXGaming]

I’ve done it the products you mentioned actually work better than the ones I used. Well specific the trigger stops. I took it upon my self to mod my own controller but I made two big mistakes. #1 trusting my self with soldering #2 doing it on the controller that comes with the Xbox. Apparently the controllers that are given to you with the console don’t last as long as others you buy separately. I heard it from someone and it felt true. But I’ll also take the blame since it’s my first time soldering. I specifically used extreme rates mouseclick trigger kit and their rear button kit. Which obviously added short triggers and rear paddles. I melted parts of the controllers housing and had to re-solder a couple times and after I got it right it only lasted about a month. I also swapped the sticks to the interchangeable ones but nothing could go wrong with that. Anyway this is why I say your solution is good even better than mine, because although you have a Frankenstein controller you also have reliability and ease or replacement. I think the trade offs for the seamless east of kits that you solder in your self won’t be worth it. I actually switched back to my other controller that had the trigger switch and strike pack because it felt way more reliable.

As of right now what would you recommend the Power A fusion pro or the razer wolverine ultimate, I did see your comparison of the two but the prices have gone up drastically for the razer wolverine ultimate as of right now the ultimate is 140 and power A is 80, so what do you recommend?

[@vCuda]

That price is actually low for the ultimate, you're thinking of the wolverine TE which is 90-110 on amazon and eBay. The ultimate retails for 160, so 140 is actually pretty good. However I think the ultimate is specifically for crazy ass people who want to be the best of the best lol. I do believe the Fusion Pro is a bit more susceptible to stick drift, but at the same time the Ultimate isn't that much better. So I suppose its just a question of do you want 4, or 6 buttons?

[@vCuda]

The response times on the 9110 are really good. I’m a huge fan lol. But tbh if you have a working Xbox controller the eliminator will probably allow you to gain a higher skill level. However, when it comes to durability, the ESM 9110 will probably do you best. The thumbsticks don’t have deadzones, and the controller is built very well

My dude, can you recommend a controller which has back paddles and also works with an iPad Pro (and pc ofc) ?

I love this channel and I love the series 2. I've tried them all and the series 2 is the best pro controller, and this coming from a hardcore fighting game FGC player, specially street fighter that requires precise movement, spacing and timing. The series 2 dpad is so good it's better than any other dpad out there. It's a shame people's controllers have broken, I've had mine since day one with no problems and still outperforming them all, knock on wood haha. I guess controllers are good for what type of genre you're going for too, the wolverine is shitty for fighting games but good for shooters.

[@vCuda]

define "them all" though lol. Cause I believe razer actually make a controller thats specific to fighting games, although I haven't seen much coverage of it

[@emansfvera]

Ok to be fair not all cause I'm sure there's a shit load of them but I have both razor wolverines and they are great controllers but the dpad on the series 2 is better as far as precision goes, I also have the fusion pro and that one broke on me after a month although I really enjoyed it, I also have the 6 button fightpad pro from hori and even that one made specifically for fighting games and I still prefer the dpad on the series x. There's just something about it that's really good, I mainly play my fighting games on a ps4 stock controller cause I really like that dpad but ever since I got the elite along with my chronus max adaptor using that controller has been an amazing experience. It really sucks for the people that payed the full price only for it to break, but that's honestly with alot of new things. Just look at the series x and ps5 breaking, and that's with any new tech, they will always have initial issues, eventually companies smooth them out, some don't. Nintendo is a perfect example of someone who don't care with their joy con drift issues lol.

[@vCuda]

@@emansfvera the thing is, Xbox one controller have been having these issues since forever lol. If they actually got better over time, I’d be fine with it, but it honest to god seems like Microsoft noticed the flimsy reliability of their controllers and decided to keep up with it. Tbh, the elite series 2 is an okay controller, but what makes it complete dog ass is the amount of people who to this day tell me that their still breaking.

[@xDx0xUxGx]

I'm going to try to keep this as brief as possible... So far I've used the standard Xbox One controller and the Power A "enhanced". I don't have very good precision with micro thumb movements and I tend to be a little twitchy(tbh, I'm a drunk gorilla with broken thumbs). In my opinion, I think it's because the thumb sticks don't have enough tension. I 'm also not necessarily concerned with having buttons vs paddles or anything at all on the bottom of the controller because I don't use them very often. Aside from the extra buttons/paddles, trigger locks and lights, is there a noticable precision/responsiveness difference between the enhanced, spectra infinity and fusion pro? ..or.. Is there an alternative you would recommend? Regardless of which controller I end up with, I will be getting the kontrol freeks precision rings and possibly the thumbsticks.
