The Wolverine is not supported in that game? What's your budget?

Do you speak about TMR version, right? I'm torn between ordering Alps and TMR of blitz 2, I'm a little bit worried of sticks latency, that it might dissapoint me coming from ds4 alps.

@sawomirdziadecki3517 TMR is good you can assured , i changed from DS to v4p to blitz 2.

I got to disagree. I think the Vader 4 Pro is over all the better controller for this price. I like the triggers and the four back buttons better on the vader. Really no controller with only two back buttons is going to win out with me. The grips are not a big deal. You can get rubber grips to go on the Vader 4 Pro which is what I did with my 3 Pro. And Vader 4 Pro is much more comfortable to hold for me. The TMR sticks are really nice but not reason enough alone for me to pick this over the Vader.

@chronicmayhem I get it is your personal preference. But you just didn't give enough pros and cons of blitz 2 over vader, I can add one more for you latency. Wired is already better but for people prefer to play wireless it has more than 2x better latency and also better battery since they are TMR sticks which use way less power over hall effect. The build quality is also better than v4p since you can hear creaks easily in v4p with even a slight forced bent and way less or none in blitz 2, as for the buttons I got used to them instantly like in a week? Not a big deal for me in that area, it feels awkward first but it's definitely something you can get used to so not a deal breaker i believe. If I think about it more, I can give you more advantages of blitz 2 than vader 4 pro, only downside is no analog trigger and looks of blitz 2 other than that I think it excels vader 4 pro in every way. Also, you are the only reviewer who said it needs to cost less than what it is now to be worth? Bro have you used the blitz 2 enough to compare it side by side or researched about it enough? I loved my v4p but again blitz 2 excels everywhere except those two things I mentioned.

I feel the same as well I have both and find myself picking up the Vader 4 way more than the blitz. I like the blitz but ergonomically feels weird and I feel like everything just runs smoother with my Vader. Also I play a lot of COD and honestly I can’t tell the difference because I still am melting ppl with the Vader

My Hall effect from Hex gaming does the exact same as you describe. Which just came out recently pretty recently. It would be interesting to have a newer aim Hall that controller and compare it to pre-order one. But you might be right about new modules being used.

So the Gamesir tarantula also has TMR. I have a review on that controller as well. From the two TMR controllers I've used tension wise they feel about the same as a standard potentiometer joystick. My aim with the tarantula felt great this one, it felt a little off at times but I think that was more to do with the shape that I mentioned in the video. Basically long story short I don't think it's worse aim wise and if it is, it's a marginal amount that once you get used to it you would compensate and it would become a non-issue, I think the TMR in the tarantula is probably better, The Tarantula I would say overall is a better controller.

@@chronicmayhem awesome ty

You're welcome! Sorry for the long-winded answer

@@federico9008 Will do!

I have an aim controller that still doesn't have stick drift after over a year of high use. Mouse click triggers haven't had an issue neither

@@niiko2895 Link to the English version should be in the description. Really sad they haven't fixed that yet

@BedRockgood It's optional and completely not necessary. I mention it because some people get really anal about having zero dead zone on their controllers. But in reality no it's not necessary and some people may not even like it. On some controllers I don't like having zero dead zone because then the controller becomes very touchy if that makes any sense. This being a hall effect controller you should not need to worry about stick drift really at all theoretically. The chance of getting stick drift on a hall effect joystick versus a traditional joystick is far far far lower. That's the advantage of this technology.

@ Thank you for your reply, and I appreciate you providing a useful response. Many TH-camrs seem unable to offer helpful replies, so thank you for being one of the few who can.

@@classiccj2569 I think this is Miles better than the elite series 2 and the turtle Beach stealth controller. And since you have the option to switch back to analog triggers, it should work perfectly fine for racing games. What makes this controller better than those other two is that if you do want to play a first person shooter turning on the trigger stops you get the mouse, click triggers which the elite series 2 and the turtle Beach do not have. The elite series 2 and the turtle Beach instead use a piece of plastic that slides into place to just act like a trigger stop. And overall this controller has better build quality than those as well. Edit. I missed the small hands question. That's A harder question to answer. You might not have the same issue I had with the hand grips being a little too short for me. You could purchase from Amazon since they have an easy return policy to see if you like it or not comfort wise.

@@chronicmayhem thanks for the speedy reply! I was worried if I ever did want to use it for FPS games which one I would want, even though I most likely won't, but I'm just the type of person to be like, "but what if I do?" If I do upgrade to a new controller I'll probably get this one! Thanks for the edit was well!

@@DipSet85 dude I cant deal with wired only mice anymore ha

@@anthonymurphy1843 I mean its a Pro controller for the PS5, not a "ps5 pro" controller. Any controller with added features like back buttons trigger stops. Mechanical buttons are considered Pro Controllers

@@222keni The four back buttons are one reason (granted to me, it's a pretty big reason) the other is the adjustable stick tension, the Vader 4 Pro also has mechanical face buttons while the tarantula does not. The Vader 4 Pro is one of the only hall effect sticks that do not have a repositioning spring in them, although that's a minor detail, the chances of that going out on other controllers is extremely small. I wouldn't quite call TMR better than hall effect right now. I'd say it is a side step. There are good hall effect and they are bad hall effects. The Vader 4 Pro is one of the good ones and playing wise is very accurate I found. In the end for this price bracket, I think you're getting more playing enhancing features for the money with the Vader 4 Pro in terms of competitive play.

@@BaconBitzzzzzzzzz only three I am aware of From AIM, Hyper and now Hex. I have one from aim and now one from hex and all I've heard about the controllers from hyper is that they're a complete dumpster fire. The Nacon doesn't appeal to me much since it has asymmetrical sticks and only two back buttons. Between the hex and the aim controller which I do plan on making a comparison video between I'd say the build quality is better on the hex as it seemed pretty excellent. The aim definitely isn't bad but the hex build quality wise is a little better. And I much prefer back buttons over pedals. For Pro controllers with hall effect and symmetrical sticks, this hex controller is one of if not the best in my opinion. And the calibration kit is pretty cool

The layout of the sticks on the Nacon is just my personal preference. When I’ve looked at the Aim Hyper and Hex controller reviews pretty extensively because I’m definitely interested in purchasing another HE controller that has the mouse click triggers, but all the reviews are so mixed(especially about AIM). I’m probably just going to get the Scuf Reflex Pro FPS and be gentle with it and keep it in its case when not in use so dust doesn’t build up around the sticks. I had the Xbox version of it and used it for MW2 for months without any issues. I just stopped using it because I switched to PlayStation.

Yes! I just tried to map L3 to a back button and it worked

@ very helpful thank you 🙏

@@milky9102 zero stick drift experienced and all my gaming and testing were done with Deadzones set to 0 ingames.

@@stevensv4864 Hall effect. This does not have TMR sticks.

@@michaelhill5427 are you on the latest firmware?

@@Soul-Demon-Y your hands are bigger than mine, so you might like the normal size deathadder. With my hand size, both were comfortable. I personally don't like wired mice for gaming but if you're okay with going wired, that might be the better option for you. You could get both from Amazon and return the one you don't like

@chronicmayhem well mine are not much bigger than yours

@@wepstin2961 I don't have an Xbox to test however GameSir states it does not natively support Xbox. Only PC, switch, ios and android. With that I would assume you would need to use an adapter. Hope that helps at least a little bit

@chronicmayhem ok thank you

@@raphaelthomas4520 sadly no. The thumbcaps on the tournament edition are not removable. You would need to use control freaks.

Glad to hear it! I do think that's the best strategy. People should try both and see what's best for them

Unfortunately I do not play fortnite

@@bobby1379 yes to both. I updated the controller using the Android app to the latest firmware and then I updated the dongle like you see in the video and it just worked

@@chronicmayhem oh yes thank you, i didnt want to update the firmware before because some youtuber said dont do it. lol... manage to update it now to v2.4 and it works. thanks

@@Mcsweating Thank you so much for the kind words! Its very much appreciated 🍻

@@pillopilgrim6353 So I've never pressed them accidentally. Maybe it's the way I hold a controller tightly, which when I'm trying to hold the controller tight, I move my hands closer together instead of squeezing them more tightly. So it's never been an issue for me with buttons or pedals on any controller. Luckily, with the really lenient return policies of places like Amazon or Best buy, you could try the controller for quite a while and if you don't like it, you can return it

@@BigSteppaa84 at this time probably not. Im still a small reviewer so unless a brand is sending me a controller to review I have to buy them myself so I am pretty picky about what I purchase. But if it's a pretty interesting controller and a lot of people request it then sure I'll definitely consider it

​@@chronicmayhemmaybe send gamesir a message letting them know you have people requesting a review. Since the controller is still very new.

@@_bhp I didn't notice any disconnections or lag or anything like that. At face value it seemed pretty stable. Agreed It's not the end of the world, 250 HZ is still the standard for a lot of controllers

@@chronicmayhem thanks for the info! of course i would prefer 1000hz any day, but some controllers even with 1000hz are so unstable it isn't even worth it to have a hz that high.

You get 1000hz if you use a cable ​@@_bhp

@@kisoshi898 I don't have a Xbox to test this but I believe so.

@chronicmayhem thank you wost case scenario I'll return it if it d

@@chronicmayhem doesn't

@@PaintballTaco its not "officially" supported for xbox. You still could use an adapter to get it to work on Xbox.

@@chronicmayhem thanks for the reply! Would the included dongle be the adapter you are referring to or would it need to be something else? Perhaps the Xbox wireless usb adapter? If I can still use this sick looking controller on Xbox and still swap to PC/Steam Deck then I’m pretty much sold.

​@@PaintballTacoSo there are additional adapters you can buy that allow you to use any controller on any console. There are several on Amazon and I've seen videos from gamer heaven talk about them before. The controller as is with the dongle is unlikely to work on Xbox. I can't test for sure like I said, but it's not licensed by Xbox so it probably does not have the right protocols.

​@@elijnr they arent hard to press but I think they are awkward to reach location wise

No worries at all. So if you go to the bookmark in the video where I start talking about the doc, you see me unplugged a USBC, cable I had the other end plugged into my computer. Now correction from what I said in the video, that cable only transmits power to that port in the dock. It won't transport data so you still need the dongle plugged in separately to your computer, but that means you can have the cord for the charger plugged into a brick or your computer or really anything else with the USB port and it will charge the controller for you. I hope that helps

@@chronicmayhem Thank you. I have a HP Laptop so I hope that will be okay. But also will any brick or power source suffice? I don’t want to fry the controller, usb, dongle or the charging dock with something too powerful.

@@PROPHETBLXDE Any one I assume would be good. There isn't one that comes in the box. So Some more information, amperage and current is a pull function, not a push meaning just because you're having a charger or a charging brick that has a super high and a bridge and capacity does not mean it's going to force that entire capacity on the device it's charging. The device itself has to have the capability to pull that much from the supply (the charger brick, usb port etec) so even if you put a super high capacity charging brick on this thing which I don't think there's one that comes with a cell phone or anything like that, that would be super high power. Anyway, the device in this case the charging dock would not be able to pull and unsafe amount from that charger. I hope that makes sense. Source: I'm an electrical engineer in my day job.

@@chronicmayhem Thanks! I believe I understand. If I’ve understood correctly. I could plug the dongle into one slot on my laptop and then plug the USB C wire into another slot and the charging dock, then place the controller on it to charge. My laptop is a newish model with Windows 11 and 8GB RAM.

Yes. It would be completely fine doing that.

Yes it has gyro! Sorry I forget that feature often because I don't use it

I guess I don't really understand what you're trying to do.. usually to cook a grenade you hold down a button and then release to throw it

@@chronicmayhem yes and it just throws it, you can’t hold down the trigger and hold on to the item it just throws it

Is that with the trigger stops on and off? That would be really annoying ​@@BrettRist

You have to put equipment behavior on Toggle instead of hold

@@darko6275 lol no. Unfortunately, since these controllers are built from already existing PS5 controllers, they're usually assembled by hand I believe and when you get anything custom it's going to cost you a lot more money

@@rabbitnetwork7429 thanks! I thought that was important to mention as I've seen a lot of people complain that they feel hall effect sticks are too loose

The small caveat is those advanced keyboard and mouse binds are only available in Xinput mode (Switch and Dualshock 4 modes can only handle button binds and macros.) Steam settings only detects the gyro in Switch and DS4 mode... So, if you're wanting to use ALL advanced features at once (keyboard/mouse binds AND gyro) you're kinda stuck using the native app to map the latter. A niche but noteworthy tradeoff

​@PhantasmXYZ Does the rebinding work when the app is off after you apply settings? Or, does the app need to stay on to keep the keys rebinded?

@@Latin00032 works with app off, stored in controller memory

@@PhantasmXYZ maybe a good idea to request it in the Discord to work with DS4 mode and switch. They seem to be good with updates atm

Yeah, from what I've seen they're listing a higher number of points than what I've seen in articles about TMR sticks. I've seen some articles that list about 3000ish. I think I would need to look it up again. What's interesting is on the gamer website that 4000 you mentioned they don't give a unit to go with it....so its 4000 what exactly

@@chronicmayhem im just lazy to write, i mean 4096 resolution samplin..

well iknow this isnt gulikit but in their site put this Is the resolution of the TMR joystick much higher than Hall effect joysticks? No, that's not the case. Carbon film joysticks, TMR joysticks, and Hall effect joysticks are all linear devices. TMR joysticks and Hall effect joysticks are both a type of electromagnetic joystick. For game controllers, the bandwidth of these three types of joystick sensors is sufficient. The resolution mainly depends on the sampling precision of the backend MCU, and is not closely related to the joystick itself. So after replacement, the joystick resolution, polling rate, and other performance characteristics will be consistent with the original controllers.
