This Accesory fixes EVERYTHING wrong with the Xbox Controller! / Armor-X Review

The original Xbox Series X/S Controller is lacking so many features, without rechargeable batteries and the lack of gyro controls makes it feel like it's leagues behind its competitors.

Nice Video! Like the humor and showing how we all have the same battery issue. Keep up the good work!

[@AcidSh33tz]

Thank you for making this video and giving a good break down of all the functions and features

[@BrunoMontanhez]

Best Armor X Pro video (and believe me, I watched way too many waiting for mine to arrive), it could be an institutional video for Big Big Won. I will config mine later and already saved this on "watch later". Thanks and congrats!

[@TheChameleon2008]

ha, you will be very happy with it because i received mines yesterday and its freaking awesome./

[@BrunoMontanhez]

@aMiFiii Yes I'm! Even when something is not quite well is just load the preset again via app. I wish a more comprehensive manual and guide, because I set it and forgot about all other buttons but the 4 we use to play

[@BrunoMontanhez]

To be fair: I used Elite controler for the most part since 2015, but the gyroscope thing didn't quite clicked with me - it was making me more inaccurate by unintentionally moving my hand than accurate by gyroscope compensation (talking about FPS here). But: battery + buttons is great!

[@yengo4692]

Thanks man. As a Chinese, I was hoping to get some insight into the macro settings of this product, such as whether it can loop and what the maximum number of steps is. Unfortunately, I couldn't find this information on Bilibili and various forums. Thanks for letting me know these details, I appreciate it.

Great video and i love that you did a tear down so big thumbs up!

I don't need backbuttons, just need gyro only.

[@Heavenz-MTW]

I’m buying it for the opposite reason

[@kadunogueira19]

Great video my friend 👌🏾 very informative I just have a question, what is like the battery life on this thing ?

[@VKsChannel]

It's hard for me to give an accurate measurement because I use many different controllers But I'd say that you can expect a full week playing with it before recharging, of course it depends on the rumble intensity you have set Go for bigbigwon website they should have the battery life there

[@Refu]

Hey! Thanks for the review. Do you know if the Gyro works for CEMU independently of the Left Stick? (Like Nintendo Switch behaviour)

[@baptisteg99]

Hey bro ! Very informative video thank you I just buy a Xbox S Series, do u know if it works on ? I read that Armor X doesn't work on some Xbox controllers. And do u know if it works on the new call of duty ? Thank's bro

[@stephen7244]

Very good extensive review mate. Is aim assist still enabled when gyro controls are activated? If so, that’s definitely broken in apex, with the ability to then “jitter aim”

[@VKsChannel]

Probably yes because the gyro controls are mimicking the analog movements so the game doesn't even know you have gyro on

[@SM-nm4cd]

yep

[@maxmeyers771]

Hey in steam input or rewasd does it see the extra buttons or does it just consider them to be maps of existing buttons? Also thank you for going over gyro in controllers that have them.

[@DuskVoid]

@VK's Channel I wanted to ask if it is somehow possible to use a headset while the ARMOR-X Pro is connected?

[@VKsChannel]

yes it will work as long as the armor x is connected with USB c

[@Kaelidoz]

great review!

[@edkgg1267]

Hey, can you map the button to keyboard on the app? Does Steam Input recognize the back buttons?

[@VKsChannel]

Steam Input will only recognize the main buttons, the back buttons can act only as shortcuts to the main buttons and not extra buttons

[@dekunutsocarina]

This was helpful 👍🏽

[@kalmath_]

Hi there ! Your video is really well done and detailled on this product :) congrats ! I just have a question ; do you think gyro could be detected as a whole in an emulator ? Most specifically on Yuzu, which is why I would like to buy it :). Thanks by advance if you take time to answer this question man.

[@VKsChannel]

Yes it works you just need to change the input method to pro controller mode by holding A + Home for a few seconds

[@kalmath_]

@@VKsChannel Wow, this thing is a controller hack, definitely. Thanks a lot for your answer !

[@PlayadesOne]

Thanks for the video. About input lag test, what is a frame? 1/60 sec frame?

[@VKsChannel]

I'm using the super slow motion of the galaxy s20Fe for the test I think you can check the capture speed if you check the specs online

[@Ogk10]

Does the gyro work in yuzu for the motion controlls or is it just simulating the analog sticks on pc?

[@Ogk10]

I don't need likes. I need answers lmao.

[@Ogk10]

The answer is yes it works fine as a Switch Pro controller in Yuzu and Ryujinx.

[@jaopbeantown]

Okay so i connected my mic to the armor x pro with it being wired.. it works but the gyroscope doesnt work. Does anyone know how to fix this?

[@julianmonteforte4392]

Does the audio jack have the same problem with xbox

[@Mortalpro5522]

Can you use the addon plugged in or does it have to be wireless?

[@AlphaladZXA]

Have you tested this with Xbox backward compatible games? I didn't know if the older 360 or even OG xbox titles would work with this through back compat mode on my Series X.

[@MrBryanfranc1]

Can you use the ps4 control on the ps4 instead of the series controller and still get gyro scope?

[@aweigh1010]

amazing. this looks like great! Is the input delay present when using on PC/xbox too? or is it only when using it on non-Xbox consoles?

Wow, what a review!!!

[@natestringham4839]

I've seen reviews that say that you can't use them with a 3.5mm headset (basically all headsets). Is that true? It doesn't block the 3.5 port or anything. Why would a 3.5 headset not work?

[@natestringham4839]

NVM, just saw the answer. Weird that it won't work...

[@screwthishi5thing]

It might be fooling the controller into thinking you have a usb-c headset plugged in or something?

[@screwthishi5thing]

Nevermind, I just tested plugging in some usb-c earbuds into the controller and it didn't work

[@dnajj2202]

Is the turbo function considered cheating in multiplayer games because I don’t want to buy something that can get me banned

[@VKsChannel]

In tournaments, turbo is not allowed but if you're playing online games for example splatoon, smash, apex legends, they can't ban you for using a turbo controllers, they can't even know you are using turbo

[@bigflex9657]

Does it need to have the USB C plugged in on xbox to have audio through a headset?

Is the macro and turbo pretty reliable? Have you had any issues or defects from the piece?

[@VKsChannel]

No and I'm still using it to play splatoon, the back buttons helps a lot!

[@VKsChannel]

The macro and turbo works ok But the macro wont register small movements on the stick only the full direction pressed which means its not a good macro to use on smash

Seems like a cool product but some of the button ergonomics would need to be improved

[@parabolee]

I have it and the ergonomics are actually superb. I have the Elite 1 and 2 and find this m,ore comfortable (I added rubber grips to the controller though)! Especially the back buttons!

[@wallace8637]

I wouldnt think buttons would be so great. Even ffter using elite controller back buttons , these really didnt felt stange or unergonimic. Totally recommend. My only gripe is battery life. After getting used to the elite battery life this really needs extra care.

Sony encrypted the communication between the dualsense and ps5. If you want any other controller to work on ps5 then you can either play through remote play or buy a beloader pro adapter. The difference betweeen beloader and beloader pro is the pro has an ethernet port and the normal version does not. The beloader and beloader pro adapters work with remote play, but strip out the audo and video signal. So your still streaming the ps5 games in a way. Hope this answers your question.
