For all my European viewers, Rocket games is for me personally the best PS5 controller customizer. I have a lot of controllers especially every controller mentioned in this Video and the main problem for all of these companies is that u don't know if these controllers will ship without being tested. I have multiple controllers from Rocket games 7 to be exact and not a single one has jitter on the hall effect sticks or other QC problems and I have them all for a minimum of a year and they literally have any pro controller feature u can imagine. Definitely can recommend them if u want a controller that is most likely not broken before u put a finger on it. To be fair these controllers r pretty expensive but not more than all of the controllers mentioned in this Video.
I currently have the Sony dual sense edge that cost 200$ and only ever playing with stock controllers before this one I can say it’s a massive improvement. I love the comfort and ergonomics. Only thing I wish is they had an options for 4 back buttons. I buy at Best Buy get the warranty and return for replacement at the cost of the warranty. So I pay 50$ every year and half for a new controller. Being I only have to invest 50$ for a controller I love, I can allocate a budget for a different pro controller. Thanks for all the info!!! It’s a lot to take in but well worth the watch.
Dude that is a hell of a deal on the $50 swap ahroo , I had never heard of a program like that but very nice. I bought my series S from Best Buy, and I’ve heard a good things about their customer support. I hope that dual sense edge serves you and your family for many games to come
Right now im using ExtremeRate back paddle attachment which for the price (£40 on sale) are amazing. If i get stick drift I'll remove the attachment and get a replacement one as I have 3 year warranty (£9) on the controller.
For me, there just aren't a lot of options with mechanical dpad and mechanical face buttons so I went with extremerate. Now I have clicky dpad, clicky face buttons, custom color shell and buttons, and an upgraded battery from ifixit. I did break a cable while disassembling/reassembling but I found a replacement cable on amazon as well. So I think custom is the way to go. Only thing I can't really do is hall effect sticks...But all this for only about $60 more and some extremely easy DIY skills(no soldering needed). There are also mod kits for clicky triggers and back buttons. I'm also not a back button guy, but maybe GH will convert me one day. :P Not only that but I didn't lose any functionality, still got adaptive triggers and all the good stuff the regular controller provides. Edit: this was last year though. I can see that a lot of these sites now offer mechanical buttons and dpad. But I don't think anybody offers upgraded battery packs still.
Fun fact for anyone buying an aim controller. If you spec out the controller like he does in the video, with his coupon code it'll be $263 out the door. If you skimp on the digital face buttons you pay $260 out the door with the coupon code. Long story short, your basically getting a $40 add on for $3. Do it! Same goes for a the hall sticks. You pay basically the same price either way with the coupon because the discount scales. I love my edge, but it needs more rear buttons for shooter or DayZ, and I've gone through 4 scufs, they seem so fragile. So I'm gonna give aim a try. Thanks for the info
Really hope to see an up to date Xbox controller centered vid on this topic 🙏 my elite 2 is getting on its last leg and hoping that the elite 3 comes out with wayyyyy better QC or aim adds the Hall effects stick option for their Xbox controllers 😩 but I love the content man keep up with the amazing work 💜
@@GamerHeavenOfficial thank you and I have seen this vid and that’s why I was highly considering Aim for a good while and I do already have an elite 2 but it’s getting deteriorated to the point I should start looking for another one to replace it when it fully isn’t really usable anymore. And just curious if there any other contenders I could consider at this point in time :3 💜
I have my Dualsense Edge and I really like it so far, but after using the Xbox Elite series 2 with 4 back paddles (I purchased those made by Scuf as they are way more comfortable), every time I go back to playing my ps5 I feel like I'm missing buttons. The Hex Phantom looks like a wonderful option, though. I'll be keeping an eye out for when it's available. The black one looks dope.
I used Budd's to get increased tension stick modules for my edge. Finally made my edge feel more like a "Pro" controller. I also got a Hypr controller with 4 back buttons and hall effect sticks with increased tension on the right. Although the build time was VERY long, they had great communication throughout the process, and the controller works great.
!!!!!!!! Im looking at two of those options right now!!!!!! its gonna be my first pro custom controller i buy! look up the “hex gaming phantom” and hex gaming “ps4 edge custom”! those options are good too! My top 4 rn are, 1.) Custom ps4 from hex 2.) hex phantom 3.) Hypr custom with tmr magnetic hall sticks 4.) budds controllers
@@andynguyen5038 that's cool dude. There's some cool customs out there. I'm good now with my Dualsense Edge that I upgraded myself, and my Hypr custom controller
I am currently at the stage where my HYPR Sognature FPS is in transit on the way back to them … just less than 4 months of ownership and it has drift on the left stick. So far this process has been amazing (obv not Amazon amazing but pretty damn close). I’ll let you know IF and WHEN I get a replacement how the whole saga went . Love the videos Kevin; they do make my day that little bit more fun!
I got an aim controller, with hal effect and I had stick drift with 20mins of owning the controller. Then The left stick seems off centered as well. It responds in a millisecond if not faster moving back but then a split delay moving forward, first day of owning one I was very very disappointed.
Dude you really are the best in the business! I’ve bought 3 Xbox pro controllers all based on your reviews and they’ve all be true to my experience. Keep it up brother!
Nice to finally see a comparison video of all the PS5 controllers! I've honestly been on the fence whether I should get a Carbxn, the new Victrix Pro BFG (Xbox version with the vibration) or wait for the PC to support the Dualsense Edge. So many choices, but oh so expensive.

Have been digging up controllers from your channel for a while now to find a low budget one with an audio port😅 that can work on multiple platform thanks for the reviews
Would like a piece of your thoughts for the gamesir g8 galileo for mobile controller or is there better and will be lookin at your review at the gulikit kingkong series thanks😅
Those buttons on the carbon controller look perfect, the circle ones on the back of the handle, man that looks awesome. I've been thinking that would be the perfect place for a remapable l3 and r3 button. I'm gonna send this to some of the chinese companies and ask them to implement them on their offerings like flydigi and gulikit.
I recommend trying out the Carbxn Xbox controller. Choosing the 4 remappable buttons on the Xbox version are actually ergonomically placed and I have to say, the Xbox Carbxn controller is easily the best controller I’ve ever used. The PS5 version I don’t like the button placement but Xbox version is amazing! I hope to see a review for the Xbox version for your audience
I use dualsense edge for my pc/ps5, got an update today about my Hypr controller and I believe it'll be here within 5 business days. Pretty quick turn around, so I'll be testing that really hard when I get it
Budds controller is the best Hall effect ps5 controller you can get. Back buttons are 1000x ergonomic than bb, cinch, and hypr. I’ve broke my cinch, and aim controller 3x. Haven’t even had it for a year, and I switch controllers every month lol. I have an aim, scufs, TB stealth ultra, bb, hypr, cinch, modded zone, and budds. Despite the customization for budds he sends you a solid controller that’ll get you through everything. Besides the TB stealth ultra (which is an Xbox controller, I don’t even like Xbox) Budds is the best controller I’ve received with Hall effect sticks for a ps5 controller.
Plus Budds is located in Australia. I live in Franklin nc. I received my controller in 2 weeks. Took 4 weeks with bb- not to mention when I got the controller they accidentally added tension so I sent it back, and they stole my protective case I sent it back in with, but they swore it didn’t come with one. Luckily I took pictures of me packaging it because they would have made me buy another one. All these controller companies look pretty but promise they aren’t worth a f*ck
My most waited video from you captain! still rocking the stock controller. Thinking about either Aim controller or Edge. Leaning more to edge just cause its from Sony themselves , accesories are lacking but they just know how to make good products lol, will wait for more future news or if edge ever has a discount ! Haha
I've been in the market for a new PS controller, im currently rocking the dual sense edge and I have absolutely 0 complaints/issues with it even after a year of every day use but I am looking for a 4 back button design controller. That phantom controller from hex looks awesome and im excited for that to drop. I think I've mentioned before but I've seen Nagashock as one of those smaller brands that does full custom builds as well as this Canadian company smalltechgaming, would love to see reviews on this "outside the norm" brands
Hey captain! I'm wondering if you have a list with all the controllers you reviewed sorted by features? I have watched almost all of your videos but can't really find a "complete" controller primarily for PC that has all the features I'd want. - 2.4ghz wireless connection - Hall effect sticks - Decent 4 way dpad for fighting games - Hall effect and tactile triggers (like DS5 but hall effect) - HD rumble/haptic feedback - Good gyro/sixaxis - Xinput and Dinput modes - Official magnetic charging dock (doesn't have to be included) - Software that allows launching programs with a macro on PC I don't care about anything else. Do you know of such a unicorn?
If the Wolverine V3 features TMR sticks (or at least Hall, the good kind), real mechanical buttons responsive and 1000hz low latency, I don't see how it could possibly be beat. PS5 DuaSense with swapped sticks has been a dream of mine with these premium features forever now.
Hi there. Great video full of fantastic information. Can you please advise on a couple things of you don't mind. Number 1 what are the absolute best haul effect modules and would you recommend over normal default joystick modules. I hear the halls have more input delay and lag. Number 2. Can you recommend the best company to spec out a default ps5 controller. I would like hall effects modules, the biggest battery upgrade they would for in the default ps5 controller with being modified. And the best non slip rear grip. Many thanks in advance
Great video dude, I'm still rocking my DS Edge controller, managed to buy a couple stick modules at my local game store, haven't had to use them yet but it's always good to be ready for that day lol.
@@damazsta I got mines from my local game shop/store called Game in the UK, had to go two separate days because they only had 1 at the time then got the second a month later, still have used them yet, you might be able to get them online or PS store?
I own a aim controller ( bought 2 in the past 6 months ) and depending on when you got your Aim Controllers they might have been good but they definitely don’t deserve to be 1st, they have so many flaws and the QC is so bad now that honestly I wish I just spent the little extra more for another scuf. My first one ( both with Hall effect sticks ) came with instant stick drift , dpad didn’t work, right stick stopped working a hour after using it, and the mute button (ps5) didn’t work so I sent it back and it took a month but I got a replacement. The 2nd one still has stick drift , dpad doesn’t work still, and mute button is a 50/50 but it hasn’t broke fully in the first 2 weeks and this is 2 separate controllers and 2 separate builders both by aim , just save yourself a headache and go with scuf
I’m sorry that you’ve had a negative experience, that sounds very frustrating. I do wanna make it perfectly clear to anyone that just browses the comment section but doesn’t watch the video, that aim is not first place! I mention it in the verdict as a controller that I’ve been able to consistently recommend for over three years now, and hear way more positive experiences than occasional stinkage like what happened with Hudson.
Really appreciate your work. Excellent video and knowledge shared. Can't wait to see your NAGASHOCK review, I'm so close to pulling the trigger on it. It sounds similar to Bb but with hall effect and adjustable tension. Pricey but sounds like top shelf engineering. Rock on boss!
All I need is ps5 + pc controller, all buttons are mouse click, hall effect + adjustment of thumbs tick tension, and good ergonomic back buttons/paddles that does not dramatically change your grip (e.g. Scuf is no good!, edge is great.) IS THAT TOO MUCH????
Thanks for the info. So much more informative than listening to these professional young gamers. I'm stunned stupid a lot a gamers can not tell a decent story about the controllers they're using. Subbed!
It's one thing i wish the ps5 would do. Have better controller options. I really wanted hall effect modules and there are no below 200$ options. Scuff and hypr are just a normal dualsense that's made to be overpriced. 3rd parties like Nacon don't come with rumble or adaptive trigger. I could just bite the bullet and buy the Edge and change the joystick module every 3 months like a sucker. But then i found a shop that could change my original dualsense stick module with a hall effect one for a good price. It's been a good experience since then, the battery still sucks obviously but at least it's not broken anymore
The envision has some legit features but is missing gyro and hall, and is truly locked to pc. A custom Dualsense from any of the major brands will allow you to overclock and a lot of them have hall effect thumb stick options and run sales frequently.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial I’ve had 2 envisions love it but severe stick drift (lack of hall as you said) in the first one and paddle broke within 2 weeks on the replacement unfortunately…. And NOTHING is worse than ICUe 😂! AIM controller now! After 4 months I finally got one shipped to me that works lol. The new controller with 6 buttons looks amazing. I’m assuming a drop in price it’s easy #1?
The durability of scufs aren’t the best. But the instant triggers are far superior to that of the dual sense controller. I had the dual sense for a couple of days. It does the job but I could tell the delay when I hit the triggers. Went through the settings and setup my dead zones. Worked pretty well but for 200 bucks I just went with scuff. For FPS games hair triggers are better. Overall, the dual sense probably works well for just about any type of gamer.
Damn you have to buy not only the modded control but the individual mods.... Just a tad greedy lol great vid brother! I know you're not a phone gamer but do you plan on ever doing a backbone style control video??
A call of duty ranked player said that hall effect controllers are less effective with aim asisst than analog, do you think this is realistic based off your knowledge of controllers?
I had a question: I thought that using a modded controller could get you banned in games like warzone or COD multiplayer. Then why would anyone buy so expensive modded controller just to play for a few days and then get their account banned if someone reported them for using physical mods?
I just got my brand new scuf back from an exchange and I still have issues with the rear paddles sticking. I'm seriously thinking of switching to AIM. Who's got horror stories? Tell them, I want honest opinions.
Well shoot if you ask for negative feedback on anything you’ll find people to give it to you 😆. Just saying if you’re asking for “horror stories”, the same 6 unhappy people who comment on every aim video will chime in orrrr you can watch the reviews on my channel where I actually test the controllers and review them after dozens of hours of stick time.
The battle beaver with no rear buttons are for guys like me. I want a pad for fighting games so I have no need for rear buttons. I just need switches on the d-pad, face buttons and shoulder buttons
One thing I have not been able to identify regarding Scuf Reflex Pro and Hex Phantom - do they have mechanical / “digital” / mouse click d-pad and face buttons?
I'm surprised you didn't mention the turtle beach stealth ultra unless you did and i missed it. Great video either way. Sounds like AIM is still the best option for me.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial I only just found out about em as well mate. Their layout on the back paddles look good though, positioning wise. You should take a look when you can mate they have some vids on TikTok and other social platforms. I believe they’re from the UK. I ordered one to see how it goes after 3 long good years of my battle beaver
Do you know of any good clicky/mechanical DPad controllers? Similar to ExtremeRate without me modding it myself. I have been looking all over the internet for a good Fighting Game controller with the PS layout. Also, I would like to remove the Sticks and replace them with buttons (L3 and R3). Any suggestions?
I was hoping game sir had one but ig not. So I got the victrix , but originally I went to best buy for the Nacon I think it was but it wasn’t there. I just wanted that one since it had Hall effects but turns out Victrix released the module for Hall effects
Once battle beaver adds hall effects which they announced at the beginning of the year they are working on it i will get a Hall Effect Increased tension 4 button w/ remap chip controller cause honestly whats holding me back on most of these companies is they have increased tension but no hall effect or hall effect but no increased tension
@@guitarpunkcovers I've had 2 battle beavers, one lasted 6 years then got stick drift (PS4 controller), the other lasted 6 months then got stick drift (PS5 controller) in those 6½ years I never had a back button misfire or anything
@@guitarpunkcovers yea CDL pro's act like they use scuf since it's sponsored by the league but most secretly use battle beavers. Like I said I won't buy battle beavers until they get hall effect sticks. I love battle beavers controllers and there button locations but can't stand the stick drift problem
@@KSI_Rogue see my sticks are fine, but the back buttons are misfiring. Seems like it’s a hit and miss with the BB controllers. But by far best placement of the back buttons for sure!
This vid is gold for ps5 fps gamers 🏆 💯 I’m gonna try Budds/Bcau mods DS edge stick module (increased tension). I have a BB controller and love the additional stick tension but my Right Triggers keeps malfunctioning on me.
I got a skuff and aim controllers. The aim feels nicer in hand imo. I got the Hall effect on my aim which mine messed up within 2 weeks and I had to send it back. I love the idea of Hall effect analog sticks but I feel like the bugs aren’t completely worked out yet.
I have the scuff the duel sense edge and I’m looking to get the phantom because the scuff and the phantom had the best paddle designs for me in my opinion, the scuff buttons definitely took some time to get use to but they are amazing, and thoughts or opinions on the phantom or any controller with those paddle designs please lmk I’m still looking for the best ps5 controller lol , I have my Xbox one and my favorite keyboard it’s only the ps5 left
Did u find anything good with back buttons or paddles like the xbox elite. I have an extreme rate paddle and button system on my regular controller but I don’t like having to use my middle finger for all 4 buttons. Did u find anything that could use ring finger buttons without stick drift?
which stick would you recommend on the battle beaver if you could change, ive currently got pro stick for left ( my controller will be made in a few week from now so i can still change ) thanks you , ill be waiting for answer D:
Man, I really wish one of these companies would do customizations using the Dualsense Edge as a base. Having the Edge with a shorter trigger pull, two more back buttons, and microswitches all over would put it into best controller ever territory
@mr_sn4k3s I agree but tbh the most expensive mods are the back buttons and mouse click buttons and with triggerstops and back buttons already it shouldn't be that much
I use a Dualsense Edge that I modded to have extremerate clicky dpad/face buttons, Custom64 PS2 retro glossy black dpad and face buttons as a replacement, and 2000mAh LOSONCOER battery made for the Dualsense Edge controller from AliExpress. Took a lot of love to take apart and making the adjustments, and it’s getting plenty of love playing with it for 8+ hour sessions.
I bought mine in January and the rubber is separating from the controller and I have slight stick drift in both sticks but more noticeable in the right one
Funny enough, the Nacon controller looks the most interesting to me, as it is the only one without an xbox/ps5 style controller shape. The lower grips look more round and bulbous like a ps4 controller
Yes Sir. If you search best Xbox controller, it should be one of the first results. Or if u search on the channel it will definitely take you to the video
My issue with the DS is the shape. After trying a bunch of them I kept the Victrix (replaced thumsticks with hall effect). I still have a DS I modded for whenever, but the victrix seems to be most comfortable one (for me). Its a shame regarding the polling, hopefully they unlock it.
Their little prebuilts ship out pretty goddamn quick, although I will say their builder which what most of us here are going to go through does fluctuate a lot, I’ve heard people getting their controllers in hand within three weeks, I’ve also heard people waiting two months+
This really gave me a business idea im totally not going to do anything with. Id love to have a place where you can go to actually physically touch these comtrollers. Try out how it feeks, especially the button layouts which at this point is like trying on a pair shoes at this point. everyone gonna feel different to everyone. Could have a stock of pre built controllers ready to sell the same day. a builder linked to sites for custom controllers you can order on the spot. Maybe some aim trainers, various games you can try out to really see how they feel and what fits you. Nobody wants to spend 400 on a controller, get it in the mail only to realize you really dont like increased stick tension, you miss membrane buttons snd you should have gotten the low 4 button layout instead of the high.
I wanted this for high end office chairs. I don't think it can ever exist. By offering this service it will be quite expensive, needing a retail store or similar, meaning they need to mark the products up more to cover the expense. But the products are available online for cheaper. As a consumer it would be great to visit then buy online, so the business would fail. (in my opinion)
For all my European viewers, Rocket games is for me personally the best PS5 controller customizer.

Choosing the 4 remappable buttons on the Xbox version are actually ergonomically placed and I have to say, the Xbox Carbxn controller is easily the best controller I’ve ever used. The PS5 version I don’t like the button placement but Xbox version is amazing! I hope to see a review for the Xbox version for your audience
Thanks for the advice
I use dualsense edge for my pc/ps5, got an update today about my Hypr controller and I believe it'll be here within 5 business days. Pretty quick turn around, so I'll be testing that really hard when I get it
Great video, Kevin! This will help my wife decide if she wants to “upgrade” her Edge controller to something custom.
That’s great to hear. The Edge is great in the mean time
the goat has uploaded🙌🏽
naw, the goat just commented. enjoy the video dude
Excellent video. The amount of work you put into this is inspiring.
Gamer Heaven is a real soldier for putting out all these fine videos with tons of information.
I appreciate that! It did take a little bit of elbow grease behind the scenes, I’m glad you enjoyed it
If the Hex Phantom had clicky d-pad and face buttons it would be soooo sick.
I love the look of it. Very cool.
Yeah and the bumpers too
It doesn’t , that would be sick. You actually could install the extremerate clicky kit yourself on the phantom, but that would be a bold project
@@GamerHeavenOfficial yeah I've seen that kit on Amazon! I might try it on my stock Ps5 controller to build confidence first 😆
The video we've been waiting for!
Patiently as I’ve been slow 🙂
Hey Boss
Question I ask you which is the best joystick to play mobile games, Aim controller or Gamesir G8 Galileo???
Budds controller is the best Hall effect ps5 controller you can get. Back buttons are 1000x ergonomic than bb, cinch, and hypr. I’ve broke my cinch, and aim controller 3x. Haven’t even had it for a year, and I switch controllers every month lol. I have an aim, scufs, TB stealth ultra, bb, hypr, cinch, modded zone, and budds. Despite the customization for budds he sends you a solid controller that’ll get you through everything. Besides the TB stealth ultra (which is an Xbox controller, I don’t even like Xbox) Budds is the best controller I’ve received with Hall effect sticks for a ps5 controller.
Plus Budds is located in Australia. I live in Franklin nc. I received my controller in 2 weeks. Took 4 weeks with bb- not to mention when I got the controller they accidentally added tension so I sent it back, and they stole my protective case I sent it back in with, but they swore it didn’t come with one. Luckily I took pictures of me packaging it because they would have made me buy another one. All these controller companies look pretty but promise they aren’t worth a f*ck
My most waited video from you captain! still rocking the stock controller. Thinking about either Aim controller or Edge. Leaning more to edge just cause its from Sony themselves , accesories are lacking but they just know how to make good products lol, will wait for more future news or if edge ever has a discount ! Haha
The stocker is a rocker 🎸! Good choices, I think either would serve you well my guy
This vid is a godsend~ Especially since Im down two controllers atm and my bdays coming around.
Dang. What happened to those dead trollers?
I've been in the market for a new PS controller, im currently rocking the dual sense edge and I have absolutely 0 complaints/issues with it even after a year of every day use but I am looking for a 4 back button design controller. That phantom controller from hex looks awesome and im excited for that to drop. I think I've mentioned before but I've seen Nagashock as one of those smaller brands that does full custom builds as well as this Canadian company smalltechgaming, would love to see reviews on this "outside the norm" brands
Thanks for this video...saved me a day's research. Pre ordered the Phantom
Hey captain! I'm wondering if you have a list with all the controllers you reviewed sorted by features? I have watched almost all of your videos but can't really find a "complete" controller primarily for PC that has all the features I'd want.
- 2.4ghz wireless connection
- Hall effect sticks
- Decent 4 way dpad for fighting games
- Hall effect and tactile triggers (like DS5 but hall effect)
- HD rumble/haptic feedback
- Good gyro/sixaxis
- Xinput and Dinput modes
- Official magnetic charging dock (doesn't have to be included)
- Software that allows launching programs with a macro on PC
I don't care about anything else. Do you know of such a unicorn?
If the Wolverine V3 features TMR sticks (or at least Hall, the good kind), real mechanical buttons responsive and 1000hz low latency, I don't see how it could possibly be beat.
PS5 DuaSense with swapped sticks has been a dream of mine with these premium features forever now.
Hi there. Great video full of fantastic information. Can you please advise on a couple things of you don't mind. Number 1 what are the absolute best haul effect modules and would you recommend over normal default joystick modules. I hear the halls have more input delay and lag. Number 2. Can you recommend the best company to spec out a default ps5 controller. I would like hall effects modules, the biggest battery upgrade they would for in the default ps5 controller with being modified. And the best non slip rear grip. Many thanks in advance
Can someone tell me which controller that will not have stick drift? I'm on my 3rd Dual Sense now and refuse to buy another one..
Great video dude, I'm still rocking my DS Edge controller, managed to buy a couple stick modules at my local game store, haven't had to use them yet but it's always good to be ready for that day lol.
Was waiting for a Mark comment. The edge is a beast
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Yeah it's been great so far, it's Friday, have a good weekend ✌️
Where can you get the modules?
@@damazsta I got mines from my local game shop/store called Game in the UK, had to go two separate days because they only had 1 at the time then got the second a month later, still have used them yet, you might be able to get them online or PS store?
I own a aim controller ( bought 2 in the past 6 months ) and depending on when you got your Aim Controllers they might have been good but they definitely don’t deserve to be 1st, they have so many flaws and the QC is so bad now that honestly I wish I just spent the little extra more for another scuf. My first one ( both with Hall effect sticks ) came with instant stick drift , dpad didn’t work, right stick stopped working a hour after using it, and the mute button (ps5) didn’t work so I sent it back and it took a month but I got a replacement. The 2nd one still has stick drift , dpad doesn’t work still, and mute button is a 50/50 but it hasn’t broke fully in the first 2 weeks and this is 2 separate controllers and 2 separate builders both by aim , just save yourself a headache and go with scuf
I’m sorry that you’ve had a negative experience, that sounds very frustrating. I do wanna make it perfectly clear to anyone that just browses the comment section but doesn’t watch the video, that aim is not first place! I mention it in the verdict as a controller that I’ve been able to consistently recommend for over three years now, and hear way more positive experiences than occasional stinkage like what happened with Hudson.
Really appreciate your work. Excellent video and knowledge shared. Can't wait to see your NAGASHOCK review, I'm so close to pulling the trigger on it. It sounds similar to Bb but with hall effect and adjustable tension. Pricey but sounds like top shelf engineering. Rock on boss!
Will there be a buyers guide to gyro controllers?
All I need is ps5 + pc controller, all buttons are mouse click, hall effect + adjustment of thumbs tick tension, and good ergonomic back buttons/paddles that does not dramatically change your grip (e.g. Scuf is no good!, edge is great.) IS THAT TOO MUCH????
Thanks for the info. So much more informative than listening to these professional young gamers. I'm stunned stupid a lot a gamers can not tell a decent story about the controllers they're using. Subbed!
It's one thing i wish the ps5 would do. Have better controller options. I really wanted hall effect modules and there are no below 200$ options. Scuff and hypr are just a normal dualsense that's made to be overpriced. 3rd parties like Nacon don't come with rumble or adaptive trigger. I could just bite the bullet and buy the Edge and change the joystick module every 3 months like a sucker. But then i found a shop that could change my original dualsense stick module with a hall effect one for a good price. It's been a good experience since then, the battery still sucks obviously but at least it's not broken anymore
I need to know. For professional pc gaming, no budget. What’s your pick?
The envision has some legit features but is missing gyro and hall, and is truly locked to pc. A custom Dualsense from any of the major brands will allow you to overclock and a lot of them have hall effect thumb stick options and run sales frequently.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial I’ve had 2 envisions love it but severe stick drift (lack of hall as you said) in the first one and paddle broke within 2 weeks on the replacement unfortunately…. And NOTHING is worse than ICUe 😂! AIM controller now! After 4 months I finally got one shipped to me that works lol. The new controller with 6 buttons looks amazing. I’m assuming a drop in price it’s easy #1?
The durability of scufs aren’t the best. But the instant triggers are far superior to that of the dual sense controller. I had the dual sense for a couple of days. It does the job but I could tell the delay when I hit the triggers. Went through the settings and setup my dead zones. Worked pretty well but for 200 bucks I just went with scuff. For FPS games hair triggers are better. Overall, the dual sense probably works well for just about any type of gamer.
Damn you have to buy not only the modded control but the individual mods.... Just a tad greedy lol great vid brother! I know you're not a phone gamer but do you plan on ever doing a backbone style control video??
I hadn’t but hell yes I can do a “Best Mobile Controller” video
A call of duty ranked player said that hall effect controllers are less effective with aim asisst than analog, do you think this is realistic based off your knowledge of controllers?
I had a question:
I thought that using a modded controller could get you banned in games like warzone or COD multiplayer. Then why would anyone buy so expensive modded controller just to play for a few days and then get their account banned if someone reported them for using physical mods?
I just got my brand new scuf back from an exchange and I still have issues with the rear paddles sticking.
I'm seriously thinking of switching to AIM.
Who's got horror stories? Tell them, I want honest opinions.
Well shoot if you ask for negative feedback on anything you’ll find people to give it to you 😆. Just saying if you’re asking for “horror stories”, the same 6 unhappy people who comment on every aim video will chime in orrrr you can watch the reviews on my channel where I actually test the controllers and review them after dozens of hours of stick time.
Should've put customized controllers in the title because there was definitely a lot of them.
I have my hands tied between SCUF and AIM I’m definitely leaning towards Scuf because I’ve had one in the past but I just can’t decide😂😭
Needed this thx
You’re welcome
Great video... Can you also add which controllers have Gyro or not? Need that gyro-aiming on my ps5 controller!
All except the ones that aren’t dual senses like the Razer, Victrix, Nacon.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro has Gyro, i own one and use gyro with it
The battle beaver with no rear buttons are for guys like me. I want a pad for fighting games so I have no need for rear buttons. I just need switches on the d-pad, face buttons and shoulder buttons
Which do you prefer better aim or battlebeaver
so which one last longer? the ps5 stock controller went shit on me after 2 months.
Do you have best pc controller?
Just upgraded to PC and transferring to MKB and I’m really missing playing controller
One thing I have not been able to identify regarding Scuf Reflex Pro and Hex Phantom - do they have mechanical / “digital” / mouse click d-pad and face buttons?
No both are standard membrane face buttons and d pad. Sad
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Thx for following up brother!
whats the best xbox controller that wont get stick drift ?
As of now I’d say the Gamesir G7 SE. it’s budget but has 2 back buttons and Hall effect sticks
I'm surprised you didn't mention the turtle beach stealth ultra unless you did and i missed it. Great video either way. Sounds like AIM is still the best option for me.
That’s an Xbox controller
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Oops my bad. I mixed those up. I've been looking at PS5 and Xbox pro controllers and they are starting to run together.
Hi Kevin. Mate have you tired clutch controllers for ps5?
As I told the other guy mentioning this company. I’ve never heard of them
@@GamerHeavenOfficial I only just found out about em as well mate. Their layout on the back paddles look good though, positioning wise. You should take a look when you can mate they have some vids on TikTok and other social platforms. I believe they’re from the UK. I ordered one to see how it goes after 3 long good years of my battle beaver
Do you know of any good clicky/mechanical DPad controllers? Similar to ExtremeRate without me modding it myself. I have been looking all over the internet for a good Fighting Game controller with the PS layout. Also, I would like to remove the Sticks and replace them with buttons (L3 and R3). Any suggestions?
I’d love to see review on the nagoshock gaming controllers.
Review a nagashock controller like battle beaver but heard it has a faster build time 😮
I’m definitely reviewing Naga soon, they seem promising
I was hoping game sir had one but ig not. So I got the victrix , but originally I went to best buy for the Nacon I think it was but it wasn’t there. I just wanted that one since it had Hall effects but turns out Victrix released the module for Hall effects
When do you think you'll drop the pc controller guide?
Once battle beaver adds hall effects which they announced at the beginning of the year they are working on it i will get a Hall Effect Increased tension 4 button w/ remap chip controller cause honestly whats holding me back on most of these companies is they have increased tension but no hall effect or hall effect but no increased tension
Back buttons started misfiring after 6 months on the BB.
@@guitarpunkcovers I've had 2 battle beavers, one lasted 6 years then got stick drift (PS4 controller), the other lasted 6 months then got stick drift (PS5 controller) in those 6½ years I never had a back button misfire or anything
@@KSI_Rogue damn, that’s what I thought I was buying. Cause out of all the custom controllers, everyone seemed to gas BB. Even cdl pros mostly use BB
@@guitarpunkcovers yea CDL pro's act like they use scuf since it's sponsored by the league but most secretly use battle beavers. Like I said I won't buy battle beavers until they get hall effect sticks. I love battle beavers controllers and there button locations but can't stand the stick drift problem
@@KSI_Rogue see my sticks are fine, but the back buttons are misfiring. Seems like it’s a hit and miss with the BB controllers. But by far best placement of the back buttons for sure!
This vid is gold for ps5 fps gamers 🏆 💯
I’m gonna try Budds/Bcau mods DS edge stick module (increased tension). I have a BB controller and love the additional stick tension but my Right Triggers keeps malfunctioning on me.
I got a skuff and aim controllers. The aim feels nicer in hand imo. I got the Hall effect on my aim which mine messed up within 2 weeks and I had to send it back. I love the idea of Hall effect analog sticks but I feel like the bugs aren’t completely worked out yet.
I have the scuff the duel sense edge and I’m looking to get the phantom because the scuff and the phantom had the best paddle designs for me in my opinion, the scuff buttons definitely took some time to get use to but they are amazing, and thoughts or opinions on the phantom or any controller with those paddle designs please lmk I’m still looking for the best ps5 controller lol , I have my Xbox one and my favorite keyboard it’s only the ps5 left
Did u find anything good with back buttons or paddles like the xbox elite. I have an extreme rate paddle and button system on my regular controller but I don’t like having to use my middle finger for all 4 buttons. Did u find anything that could use ring finger buttons without stick drift?
which stick would you recommend on the battle beaver if you could change, ive currently got pro stick for left ( my controller will be made in a few week from now so i can still change ) thanks you , ill be waiting for answer D:
Man, I really wish one of these companies would do customizations using the Dualsense Edge as a base. Having the Edge with a shorter trigger pull, two more back buttons, and microswitches all over would put it into best controller ever territory
Megamodz did DualSense edge customizations but none of the mods
it would be too expensive tho
Maybe... But would be worth it in my opinion
"Best controller ever" with a 5 hour battery is insanity
@mr_sn4k3s I agree but tbh the most expensive mods are the back buttons and mouse click buttons and with triggerstops and back buttons already it shouldn't be that much
I use a Dualsense Edge that I modded to have extremerate clicky dpad/face buttons, Custom64 PS2 retro glossy black dpad and face buttons as a replacement, and 2000mAh LOSONCOER battery made for the Dualsense Edge controller from AliExpress. Took a lot of love to take apart and making the adjustments, and it’s getting plenty of love playing with it for 8+ hour sessions.
What set did you get for the clicky buttons, its all i need for my edge
Really hope for a best PC controller video soon!
Coming soon!
Can't wait for the Best XBox Controller next!
Came out over a year ago
What’s the most budget?
Budds does Hall effect for duel sense edge replacement yessss
Not currently available atm, but it’s an exciting prospect.
For duelsense edge use the paddles on the reverse sides and they become like a scuff paddle system try if you haven't already
Huh
Have you considered reviewing a NAGASHOCK controller ?
Yes I have, they should be in this comparison (and clutch).
PS5 Dualsense edge is sweet for me. I love it.
It’s very sweet, almost like a dessert of a controller.
I bought mine in January and the rubber is separating from the controller and I have slight stick drift in both sticks but more noticeable in the right one
I would love to see a power a ps5 budget controller, but I don't think it will ever happen
I’d love it too
Out of the hundred controllers you reviewed and tested, which one do YOU use the most, and would recommend to others?
Good Sir, i’m here to say sadly the naga shock was missed 😢 Still here for that review!! lol
That damn Naga shock got left in the rain? 🌧️ I will bring it in and give it the proper treatment with a review soon.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial You’re the only reviewer i trust so i’ll be patiently waiting! lol
Funny enough, the Nacon controller looks the most interesting to me, as it is the only one without an xbox/ps5 style controller shape. The lower grips look more round and bulbous like a ps4 controller
Question, have you did this for Xbox? If you already did this. I’ll just look for the video
Yes Sir. If you search best Xbox controller, it should be one of the first results. Or if u search on the channel it will definitely take you to the video
@@GamerHeavenOfficial perfect. I’ll definitely give your channel a deeper look, thanks for responding
It’s about time
-Happy Gilmore
You know I wanted to get the ball into hole..I just couldn’t do it 😆
super good video, the code for aimcontrollers is not working and im thinking to buy it tomorrow, could you please sir uppdate the code?
My issue with the DS is the shape. After trying a bunch of them I kept the Victrix (replaced thumsticks with hall effect). I still have a DS I modded for whenever, but the victrix seems to be most comfortable one (for me). Its a shame regarding the polling, hopefully they unlock it.
Makes sense. A lot of people prefer the Xbox shape (and stick layout). Feel you on the Polly poll
Have you tried clutch controllers ?
Do a review on the Astro C 40 with the hall effect modules its awesome
Aim takes forever but worth it.
Their little prebuilts ship out pretty goddamn quick, although I will say their builder which what most of us here are going to go through does fluctuate a lot, I’ve heard people getting their controllers in hand within three weeks, I’ve also heard people waiting two months+
This really gave me a business idea im totally not going to do anything with. Id love to have a place where you can go to actually physically touch these comtrollers. Try out how it feeks, especially the button layouts which at this point is like trying on a pair shoes at this point. everyone gonna feel different to everyone. Could have a stock of pre built controllers ready to sell the same day. a builder linked to sites for custom controllers you can order on the spot. Maybe some aim trainers, various games you can try out to really see how they feel and what fits you. Nobody wants to spend 400 on a controller, get it in the mail only to realize you really dont like increased stick tension, you miss membrane buttons snd you should have gotten the low 4 button layout instead of the high.
I wanted this for high end office chairs. I don't think it can ever exist. By offering this service it will be quite expensive, needing a retail store or similar, meaning they need to mark the products up more to cover the expense. But the products are available online for cheaper. As a consumer it would be great to visit then buy online, so the business would fail. (in my opinion)
@@xPlasmaz yeah they gotta figure out how best buy gets away with it. They had this exact same problem a decade ago but somehow fixed it
this was perferct i think ima go with battle beaver
The fact the edge sticks are constantly sold out should honestly have Sony in legal trouble
Yeah that accessory/counterpart should be readily available considering it’s one of the key features. Lawsuits have started for less
