VK's Review: • BigBig Won Rainbow 2 ...
BigBig Won have dropped what I consider to be a one of a kind device in the Rainbow Pro 2. Featuring buttons on the front, RGB, and the ability to connect to almost any console! I'd like to give a huge thank you to BigBig Won for making this video happen, I truly enjoyed the controller and hope they continue on their upward trajectory. And I hope you enjoyed this video! If you did please be sure to drop it a like and sub if you're new. I'll see you guys in the next one!

Great vid as always man

[@RoosterRubio]

I have this controller with PC. And when you open the phone app the adjustments you make are in real time without having to disconnect the controller. So you can tweak the thumbstick curve while you're in game, then when you're happy just hit save on the phone app.

[@katanamaru1]

How do the face buttons feel to you? Others have said that the B button isn't that good. Vcuda didn't go into detail about it. I'm guessing to him it was fine.

@@katanamaru1 Everything feels nice except the d pad. Too spongy.

[@RoosterRubio]

@@stevenspencer5979 In the app the default deadzone is set to 10. Lower to zero or wherever you're more accurate. I lowered the app deadzone for left stick to zero and right to 4. Feels better

The rubber grips on the sides and grip on the Thumbsticks feel better than any other I've tried.

[@wildmiles3499]

Just want to say Vcuda this channel has been my go to for controller selection. Started with the Wolverine tournament edition and then to the v2 chroma. This controller to me is like the best of those two plus a better polling rate. Been wanting a controller that's an upgrade to the tournament edition.

[@Broyyyyyy]

Yo Vcuda, great video lol I wanted to ask if those thumbsticks are compatible with Vader 3 pro? They look virtually identical. so I figure if someone knows it'd be you

can you map the extra buttons to the ps4 touchpad like the armor x pro? that is probably the most important part of the controller and super important for PC gaming where you can then map them to keyboard keys

[@Smavv_]

Hey cuda I wanted to now if u could review the difference between 2 Hall effect sensors because one has a board and the other one has no board and the way you calibrate is different as well and see if the jitter affects in game pls😫

[@Ntain86]

Does it work on PlayStation 5 with ps5 games? I search an affordable controller with back buttons for shooter games on ps5

[@THESTEVESHOW-if1ft]

I love the content Cuda. You could sell it in a dark sketchy alley and I buy it knowing you're wiring a wire.

[@dancingdeluxo]

I can’t find anything that seems as good as the TE, I think I’m just going to buy a new TE.

The tournament style 4 button placement is top tier IMO. Sucks it doesn’t integrate with next gen consoles from the jump.

works fine on Xbox Series consoles. I wish my razer wolverine ultimate would work on ps5 too.

Can someone please make a video or tell me how to connect it to the ps4 step by step?

[@wagonet]

Keyboard inputs first time I've seen it. PC guy perfect

[@crimulationhd]

Hey cuda, the Wingman XB2 bypasses the issue that BIGBIGWON states where you need a controller hooked up to it. I don't have any controllers turned on and I have my adapter hooked up to the wingman and it works without other controllers, might be because another controller connected to it at one point, but yes it works without their method, unsure about the XE2

[@TheXanderage]

It is true that it is way smaller than a xbox controller?

[@n64slayer]

This is old joke but it's a good day when vcuda uploads!

What's the input delay when connected to the PS5 controller?

[@lichh4054]

It's bad. Had the wingman for a year using a ps5 roller on xbox and recently Microsoft changed their policy on unauthorized controllers. So now the wingman shows up as unauthorized

[@chillnspace777]

Hey guys. I'm looking for a controller that I can use on Xbox series x ( pc also ) that feels like a ps5 controller in hand feel while use. The default series x controller is just to small for me. my right side pinky and ring finger starts to cramp after a while. no issue with that on ps5 controller. I currently have the brook xb2 and using it with a usb and ps5 controller. the sticks feel floaty. is there a way to adjust to make that feel tighter( my test is in golden eye 007 and lags slightly and floats around while aiming )

[@lichh4054]

I also have a wingman xb to use a ps5 controller on xbox. I used it just fine for around a year until just recently Microsoft decided not to support "Unauthorized" controllers. The wingman is detected as an unauthorized controller so you will get weird input lag making the controller itself feel off

[@chillnspace777]

@lichh4054 ya I just had that pop up. So what do we do about the product now

[@lichh4054]

@chillnspace777 Honestly I have no clue. I'm going to wait and hope something changes sooner rather than later. Now I'm on the quest of finding a controller with a similar feel to a ps5

[@lichh4054]

I cant seem to find an xbox controller that has the same accuracy and feels the same with a control freak as a ps5 controller. Suggestions?

[@maxkruppa3716]

Gamesir G7 se ? With control freek

[@CobraF1]

"In case you need to visually see the incorrect ABXY button layout that Nintendo chose" - hahaha I completely agree. I was shocked when I checked back to the original NES controller and suddenly remembered that Nintendo did ABXY buttons even before Xbox... but they got them backwards! BA instead of AB. Doesn't make sense. So that's why so many controllers from China have it backwards nowadays. As well as all the controllers compatible with Switch. I wonder if the people at Nintendo read backwards?

[@AdamRBlue]

Do you mean how the Japanese read right to left? Like how in Japan the X and O functions for PS are swapped too?

[@CobraF1]

@@AdamRBlue I googled it and turns out that most of the time Japanese is written and read left to right (the actual writing) when the writing is in horizontal format, which is most of the time. It's only read right to left in writing that's in vertical format (but that's only for old traditional writing apparently). As for the "X" and "O" on PS controllers, those aren't letters lol - they're shapes: circle and cross. Since the other shapes are triangle and square obviously. Besides, the letters A and B are Latin alphabet so once again, doesn't make sense to put B then A.

[@garrettstrutz7421]

Just the opposite for me. I have a G7 SE that I use all the time and love the Hall effect once u get used to it it’s way better. Once u go good Hall effect it’s hard to go back. I use my stealth ultra and g7 SE the most

[@originaltaste1170]

Gamesir G7 SE, Gamesir G7, GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro, Flydigi Direwolf, 8BitDo Ultimate Wired Controller, Microsoft Xbox Wireless Controller, Which ones do you recommend for small hands?

[@Hzuuuu]

Not the KingKong 2 Pro. I own it. It has terrible lag. Very noticeable and will most definitely impact your performance if you often play games that require fast and precise input. A lot of people are saying they're using bad quality hall sensors too, which means it's just as bad as any low quality potentiometer joysticks. Goes to show that the underlying technology does not matter when it is poorly manufactured. Xbox One wireless controller is very good. I've had it for years now. Just get the normal plain edition. The special editions often broke for no reason (COD, FH, etc). Mine has drifted a little but but only very very small drifting. Nothing that a deadzone setting cannot fix. The latency is very good as well even through Bluetooth. The KK2 Pro is completely unplayable on Bluetooth and it's not any better even when wired. If you're looking for a cheaper Xbox controller alternative, the GameSir G7 SE should be perfect. It has high quality hall sensor on both triggers and joysticks. Great polling rate (not sure how that translates to latency, never tried it) and very very accurate joysticks. It also looks like an Xbox controller, which is very classy and not look like a cheap kid's toy you can buy from a local shop.

[@originaltaste1170]

@@Hzuuuu thanks

[@mrfamousamos9819]

Gamesir G7 is a great controller, especially for small hands. But for games like R6 where you need a a-lot of precision, I fee much more comfortable with me Elite 2. But I use the gamesir for pretty much every other game like cod and overwatch to preserve my elite

[@PughsReview]

If you have the new brooks adapter for xbox this will work with it plug and play. Fyi

[@vCuda]

Thanks for sharing this!

[@lichh4054]

Xbox has made the brook adapters "Unauthorized" so u get weird input lag

[@PughsReview]

@lichh4054 they came out with the wingman v2 wich fixes that

[@lichh4054]

@PughsReview The wingman xb2? If so it's no different and I've downloaded the firmware. I have both wingmans. Do you play with no issues?

[@tcrviper]

​@lichh4054 That is odd. I have the original Brooke wingman adapter. I have been using it with my t4 khalid and my Gulikit pro 2 controller on my series x. Even the adjustable polling rate for the t4 Khalid, via the app, works on my series x using the brookwingman. I have had 0 issues, and no lag.

I was fully prepared for this video to he scraped if things didn't pan out well, but thankfully they were more than happy with it. The only request was to show the circularity from GamepadTester. I'm happy you enjoyed the video! It was a ton of fun to put together

I play on a overclocked dualsense edge at 8000 polling rate and this controller feels more responsive.

[@maurovargas3912]

Will I be able to play PS5 games with that controller?

[@twiztid_gamer]

As someone still stuck on a PS4, this controller is actually a very intriguing controller, especially for the sub $100 price tag, the only thing i don't find appealing is the stick config. If they could work out a way to refresh this design with the ability to switch the dpad & left stick & maybe even replaceable sticks altogether for no more than $120, they would have really something great. I realize those features at that price might not be physically possible & still the quality build that it seems to be though
