    Did you ever feel like that analog stick should be lower, or even yank the D-Pad out and replace it with a 3rd analog stick? Well, Thrustmaster read your thoughts or Reddit wish list post and made a modular controller that is fairly configurable.

    I have this controller. Good pad. Shame no one mentions the nuances of this controller. Some things you may be interested in.
    -firmware update required out of the box (via pc/Windows)
    - is larger than the xbox controller.
    - the sticks are slightly taller then xbox controller.
    - the head of the stick is slightly larger in diameter (KontrolFreek difficult to get on straight, my rigtt stick freek are in the dome topper because it fits easier)
    - the lower rear buttons are in a nice position fit middle finger.
    - the upper rear buttons not as natural to press (I only use two of the four so doesn't bother me)
    - the dpad is slightly larger than xbox controller
    - the long stroke of the triggers is shorter that the xbox elite 2.
    - the triggers have a very hard bump stop, even without hair trigger on
    Why do these reviews never show the app for configuring the controller?
    - app can remap, adjust rumble, stick sensitivity curve and inner/outer deadzone.
    Pro: good for larger hands
    Con: not as good for small hands
    Pro: the headphone volume output goes crazy loud compared to xbox controller.
    Con: no chat/game mix button on controller so this audio setting must be done in xbox guide menu.
    **CON: the mic signal is running just as hot, it's got a crazy amount of gain on it. So your mic will be twice a sensitive than with regular controller. It will pick up everything in your room and the party chat channel almost constantly be broadcasting. Even when your silent. * this led me to buy a wirless headset (I know but this pad is wired right? Well I don't mind because I sit close and wirless head set has multiple uses) but seriously the controller audio has too much gain..... Maybe firmware future fix?
    Pro: you can custom stick input sensitivity. Via the app each stick has 3 levels you can change my percentage. Small movements (inner zone) medium movements (middle zone) large movements (outer zone)
    By default they are splat 33%/34%/33%
    -if you want it less twitchy when trying to do subtle movements - then eg. Set Small 50% Med 25% Large%25.
    Now 50% of the sticks motion in one direction will be considered 'small movement input' giving you more play/input for small movements.
    *I use 50/25/25
    Pro: input response is awesome
    Pro: buttons are very tactile/clicky
    Pro: bumpers are aeesome
    Con: bumpers are loud *click
    Con: the share and guide buttons are opposite locations compared to xbox controller = lots of accidental share presses.
    Con: start/menu buttons are up really high in face of controller.
    Con: 2 custom button map presets compared to 3 on Elite2
    *app can save multiple.
    OVERALL I really like this controller. I love the buttons, the bumpers feel and sound like they'd last a lifetime. Custom stick sensitivity is sweet. I like the rear button placement as I only use two of them. If you want your headphones to go louder, jesus this pad will do it.. But the crazy mic send means you'll be that annoying person with loud noisy mic everyone mutes. (don't be that person)
    Theres some more info than just what's in the box. Hope this helps you with this expensive decision. I love mine now I'm used to it. Audio/mic was the most disappointing thing. Led me to another purchase (wireless headset)

    Different part numbers is for purchasing and tooling. One analog stick is a sub-assembly to the controller telling the scanner to place them into the assembly plant. The stand alone analog stick is scanned into finish product to be placed in the boxes. This way they control how many were made (like 10,000 controllers and 8,000 replaceables)

    There's been some testing done on these analog sticks, well actually the NXG S2's (the new sticks you can use in the Playstation version of this pad - they're equal to these Xbox ones in terms of spec) and apparently they're basically the best and most accurate sticks in any controller ever. Out of all pads tested they were the only ones that could actually work with a 0.01 deadzone in Rocket league without issues, they didn't have much snapback and in contrast to both Xbox and XBox Elite controllers (PS4/Ps5 seemed to not have this issues) they could register fast full rotations without skipping steps. They also were among the lowest latency available. Plus if you've got bigger hands (and don't mind the cable) if you ever get stick drift you could just replace a module.
    It seems these modules, and especially the NXG ones, undergo a lot more testing and quality checks before leaving for the stores than those found in regular controllers (this includes those found in the Elite series of Xbox controllers).

    @LTT TO here, wired controllers are preferred for eSports tournaments because they avoid having to sync controllers from one game station to another. And then someone forgetting their controller is synced to a system, hitting the power button by mistake, and shutting down a match in-progress. Wired controllers prevent that, and also ensure reliable signalling of inputs in RF-crowded spaces too. If you're spending that much on a controller, chances are, you're taking it to a tournament.

    Pretty reasonable price with the customization and the extra buttons for long handed bois. I may need to get this cause my scuf analog sticks break once a year, and the elite has rubbery sticks where if you release the stick from full lock it will literally bounce you the other way a little bit, which can mess up menus and specific things. Plus in frantic scenarios I often pop the stick right off of the elite.
    This seems like a super nice alternative with easy replacement for commonly broken parts such as sticks!
    Also wired means no batteries which is honestly better in the long run!

  • @Minib34ts

    Hello. Warrenty expert for telco and repairs. I get this is pretty late, but I'm sure everyone here will benefit from this little nugget of edumacation.
    OEM parts and parts that ship with the devices have different part numbers so we can tell what phones or devices have had repairs done on them befor and for what reason. If a device has come in for repair once before and had a particular fault occur and a module swapped out and the same fault occurs, a repeat repair gives manufacturers trackable data for parts that could have a particular design flaw or don't have a good enough QA standard. This data is used for better design or different microcomponent production contracting so later production runs of particular SKU's and other products don't suffer the same errors or faults.
    In the case of a modular piece of equipment like this, your add on parts would have a different limited warrenty structure, or it's just there so Thrustmaster can track what claims are going to what products across the board for analytics purposes.
    I hope you've learned something today. If you did, stick an upvote on this so even the king of tech tips can learn something. I'm sure he'd find it valuable too.

    OKAY LTT.
    For like half a second could you imagine someone with a physical disability that has difficulty pushing buttons?
    2 or 3 or 4 analog sticks mapped to different input commands could literally allow people with physical disabilities to game.
    This is awesome and actually practical.

    In FH4 the throttle trigger vibrates only slightly until you reach redline. Braking is where you want all the feel so you can tell when the tires are locking up.
