Victrix Gambit Review-Best Wired Xbox Controller But OVER HYPED
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 22 พ.ค. 2024
- This controller has some serious hype and marketing gimmicks fueling it, but past are the fluff and jargon, this is the best wired Xbox Controller I have tested. Some of the unique features not seen in any other controller is 5 way trigger stops, hexagonal analog stick rings, Dolby atmos surround sound support, and the fastest wired connection of any controller on the market. There are a couple short comings including cheap feeling plastics, stubborn trigger locks, and lack of included thumbstick options, but hey...It's the fastest controller on the market.

Damnit, you beat me to it! I was gonna buy this next month, either this or an Aim Controller
Lol, yeah I'm quick on the draw. I'll be looking out for your video man!
Do it! Been waiting for you to do this one.
do gambitttt Cuda
@Dayne Stafford I have it it's a good controller software that it has does not work on windows 11 though and the paddles are kind of strange
did you try to thrustmaster eswap x pro?
apparently they came out with a new one and it has the fastest sticks on the market (little to no deadzones like the ps4/ps5 controllers but even better supposedly)
First video I've seen (of your channel... not EVER) and I've gotta say, I like the style and format. You're not just reading a spec sheet and then saying "7/10 IGN. I did it for teh MEEMzzzz. Etc.etc." You actually understand that different people have different tastes/opinions and tailor the review to suit a diverse audience. Entertaining without sounding like you had a focus group auto-generate a script. Also glad you touch on the ergonomics. Subbed.
Underrated content creator. This dude deserves way more views and subs. Really enjoyed the video dude 👍 wish I saw this before I picked up my current controller
Yeah I was comfy no lie
6:03-6:30 had me rolling bruh. My man said "gollie" and "jeepers" 😂 good video cuz
Love these reviews always to the point and honest . And entertaining lol
happened to find your channel just looking for a review on this controller. dude, you're freaking hilarious!!! thanks for the fun review too :)
Welcome, I appreciate that man
I tried 6 different controllers. This is by far the most responsive and comfortable. Would be nice more colour options…
Just purchased mine based on your review. Definitely subscribed. Like your style, and your attitude, it's trusting.. Anyway, I've never owned an aftermarket or "pro" controller. Last time I had an aftermarket controller was back when MadCats had their crazy lit up fat boy ones.. awful stuff... lol, I only bought them because they were cheaper. Anyway, my first impressions were that the Diamond shaped D pad feels AMAZING when my thumb rests on it. I think they went with that angle because when your thumb rests on it, it's literally cradled into the grooves of the D pad.
This is my first time watching you and I am going to start to watch you more you’re really fun nice video btw
Great review! New subscriber because I get your humor so effortlessly! Great job!!!
Fantastic review all around!
Glad you liked it!
Great review. Definitely going to purchase
Thanks for reviewing this kev
my pleasure
I just came across this controller and Am looking forward to getting it delivered tomorrow now!
Had two with right bumoer issues in 2 months. The accuracy and use of the controller however was the best I've seen whilst working.
Hi, I'm from Poland and I bought it for $ 90 Gambit yesterday. The first impression was pretty good. The surface of the analog sticks could be a bit larger. The triggers are very fast. So fast that I had to reduce their sensitivity through the applications because I was accidentally shooting while playing Warzone all the time. I was counting on triggers the most and here it is great, but I really wanted paddles. And here I have a problem. While playing, I squeeze the controller and press the paddles all the time by accident. I programmed them under L3 and B to run fast and slide, but it bothers more than helps. I wonder if I will be able to get used to using them at all. In general, I think that $ 90 is probably worth buying. We'll see after a month of playing if I was right.
Do any of you have paddles programmed for Warzone and can write what your settings are?
Thanks
I told myself I was gonna wait for more reviews before buying but I folded and have had it for a while lol
Love it, and the Dolby Atmos or the On board EQ, can't tell which, has transformed my trash way-too-bassy headset into a footstep detecting machine.
I also somehow squeezed a kontrol freekz onto the right thumbstick, it was tight, but it worked and ugh 😩
Thanks for the review, always thorough
Did you buy it on the website and if you did how long did it take to arrive
@@samcantdribble8388 Nah, got it in-store at GameStop
Do you still have these ? Im going threw controller in such a gross way 😢 its been monthly for a while and boom stick drift on everything
I was waiting on you to review this controller before I bought it lol I like the way review stuff u just tell the truth thanks
Glad I could help
I've had it for almost 2 months and it has been great so far! There's no delay on any games with it, and absolutely no stick drift! That means I can play shooters with zero deadzones. If it stays working a long time, this will become my favorite controller of the Xbone gen.
How does the size comparison to the Series x/s controller, is it wider or taller?
@@Mr.-NIGHTMARE-88 it feels a lil bit smaller in general and its pretty lightweight. The joystick's concave surface area is smaller too. I guess my one complaint with this controller is that you will press the triggers way too easily. The triggers have hardly any resistence to them so you might find yourself shooting or throwing grenades by accident a lot. The app includes a deadzone feature for the triggers as well, but it's still something you want to be aware of.
Same here bro.
@Noobutant what did you get
is it Better than Xbox Series S controller or Thrustmaster eSwap S ?
I had to stop the video just to see what gaming chair you have. That looks so comfortable 👍
Great breakdown man
The Turtle Beach Recon Controller @ $59.99 which on sale a lot for $49.99 is what I use and what everyone should try because it is the best bang for buck and it’s not even close. Fix the Paddle system & make handles a bit longer on Victrix Gambit & oh yeah make the Analogs the right sz to fit Kontrol Freeks without spin.
I have it & Razer Tourny & Power A Fusion Pro & Elite 1. I have to have paddles & need trigger stops.
Gonna buy this controller forsure now cuz those fighting game stick barriers are something i never knew i needed
Great video. I'm currently using the victrix for infinite and mk11 and I love it. The dpad is a little stiff at first with fighters but breaks in like a baseball glove. I have noticed a difference in mk with punishes and reads. For halo it just feels really comfortable with the two paddle plate.
For single player games I'll stick with the glass cannon elite 2. On my fourth, hopefully it stays that way now that the victrix is my daily driver.
so its good for halo betttttt
@@itsseraph Man for halo it's a big, big Win!!!!!!!!
Thinking of getting this controller for mortal kombat too, how did it handle In the long run?
i loved my gambit. tried to overclock it just for curiosities sake and fried it. Learnt something new too because i thought the 2-paddle attachment was just a blockoff rather than an attachment at all
KontrolFreeks for Xbox fits the thumb sticks on the Gambit almost perfectly. That what I use on mine when I play COD.
KontrolFreeks are a must have!
Good video, you cleared my doubts with this controller, I would still like it if you could review the new Xbox controller nacon revolution x please.
you're underrated brotha, amongst some of the best reviews I've ever seen. Amazing quality and funny af too. Personally the controller wasn't for me and ended up returning it but it is damn good for a hundo cannolis ya dig. Keep up the awesome vids bro this man is gunna blow up
Thanks man!
Good review bro
The two most affordable and reliable competitive controller options are a ds 4 with original Sony back button attachment or dualsense modded with Extremerate back paddles.
No. A ds4 is like 60+ bucks, and the mod pack is like 30+
Can’t wait to u see u reviews the bfg Xbox one
Hey quick questions would you say the 4 paddle design is similar to the elite controller like placement of the paddles etc, I'm thinking of getting one of these next controller over the elite, but want to make sure the the paddles are gonna feel super weird
The very light but VERY stiff thumbsticks are the hardest thing for me to reprogram my muscle memory for. After about 30 hours of play I still can't easily do flick shots. Very stiff like stiffer than an elite 2 on maximum stiffness.
Besides that it's totally fantastic and I'm hoping I'll get used to it.
(I LOVE the soft purple cover because playbudz grip it tight and stay on without glue)
Another Awesome Review👍.
Every situation is different so personally I Have to be Wireless now. Kids or Pets tend to be the main reason for this.
Thanks man, yeah I am wired when on my consoles and wired when on the PC.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Hopefully
Harley 🙏 or all those👸you have🤫don't walk pass you and that big TV just one time🤔when your cord is out🤭.
I've always wanted you to tether that TV to the wall. Regardless it will be a Accident💯.Just stating my Thoughts👊😎
🤕Shit happens but when there's a easy solution🤷♂️.
My kids snatch controllers around,ect. I'll be pissed if they pull my USB port out of my pc or break a console within a week which will happen💯%😔.just saying 🤔
Love the vid I was just wondering you said you would link the cable extender in the description I was looking for a good one that can have the keep the same speed and quality as it would without the cable extender, please link one as I really need one.
Damn good video!
Thank you , I really needed a pro controller I think it’s a good choice but still hesitate yet
I have been waiting for more than 1 week the Victrix Gambit controller, I hope the command is good as the page says. It will be my first xbox controller because I have always played on play4 controllers
I had one for a bit, love it but it was too light, I ended up going for the Fusion Pro 2 but overall it was a great controller and I didn’t knew that weight would make such difference but is just more comfortable for me to have something heavier.
One big plus was the software, so much shoot you can do directly on console and no need to plug on your computer, even updates can run through the Xbox, that’s was awesome.
I may give it a chance in the future it for now I’m happy with the Fusion Pro 2.
I’ve gone through about 6 fusion pro 2s in the last year. I love it, but the durability of the housing for the paddles is terrible. Unfortunately….
the fusion pro 2 has fishing weights in it and the paddle housing is terrible quality
"Well Kevin said input delay wasn't that big of a deal", lmao and i fell off the coach and hit the coffee table talking like the Muppet Chef!!!, Toooo damn funny on that verdict!!!!
You are an innuendo god!!
That's an awesom PS5 skin at 00:27
I bought this controller and took it back after 3 days . The controller itself felt great . Amazing paddle system and pretty good trigger stops . However my issue was the sticks . It doesn’t register movement for slight adjustments. I play linear on FPS games and because of the controller not being capable of micro adjustments I took it back . Before anyone says well there’s software to adjust the sticks …. Yes there is but it doesn’t effect this. It’s the same thing Razer did with the v2 chroma . Wouldn’t register micro adjustments until they put out new software . If Victrix puts out an update to fix this issue then I would go buy it again . All this being said if you play FPS and your shooting curve is steady or classic then this is a great controller. If you play linear think again .
I wish I knew the difference. I play dynamic and switched recently from standard and only noticed a faster turning response instead of holding it down to get to top speed of revolution. Not entirely sure how they all are different.
@Justin Goodall I may be late but I currently have the razer v2 chroma and I play on linear settings and face no issues (according to me). Micro adjustments were difficult on the v2 chroma because of the deadzone issue which Razer recently fixed (just update the software) and lower the deadzone to 1 (4 by default lol). Hope this helps
What deadzones did it feel like? 3 or 4?
Whats linear
I have not had this issue did you turn the dead zones down properly on the app??
Great video as usual, so if money wasn't a concern what's the best pro controller for PC games mostly warzone? I was looking around and i liked the elite but this one looks interesting too
Don't get an Elite or Scuf I have both an the Elite had stick drift straight out of the box and less than a month the left bumper isn't working. About to send it back for a refund. The Scuf is great when it works, keyword when. It literally just disconnects by itself no matter if it is wireless or wired. Everything is updated. Then Scuf said you can send it in and it will be $100 just to troubleshoot it, then an untold amount to actually fix it. I just got the Gambit in the mail today and will be trying it out in the next day or two.
Great vid. You gonna review the nacon revolution x pro? Hesitating between that and the victrix
I don't see it on amazon currently, but I will review it
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Nice! Thanks for the response 👍
Hey came across your vader 2 video and was just curious how that felt compared to a normal xbox one controller? I play mainly fps shooters like warzone, 2042, etc. Do the sticks feel normal? Or is the controller more for casual play. I would buy the one you review in this video in a second (things sexy), but I'm looking for wireless :(
For like $40 more you can get an elite 2 on Microsoft
The vader I reviewed was PC only unfortunately but I think they may have an Xbox compatible now
@@GamerHeavenOfficial I'm on pc
@@davidrudd4869 cheapest I can find a elite 2 is like 140 plus tax. Vader is like 70-80 before tax depending. And its honestly a cool controller. Just don't know if it just looks like it plays the part
Excellent review. Do you have the link to the 10 foot extension cord? Thank you 😊
My go to for console peripheral reviews thank you sir stallion. I prefer the flaccid floppy purple 😂
I like the way the purple feels in hand
@@yurpcrusher123 same
Some times floppy is the way to go!
I'm a bit late but would you recommend this controller over the elite series 2 controller?
Thanks!
Good review as always 😂, it really does look cool tho.
Thanks! 😁
Im currently working on wearing out my elite 2, but the gambit has my attention for sure. But dts>dolby for situational awareness. I own both apps cause i bought them both. Dolby is super heavy handed on the bass. It does have a custom equalizer but. Even then. When I bought a dts license, even without an equalizer function, I feel its way more natural sounding and has a much better spacious sound.
Can the stick gates be installed in the purple silicone face plate to avoid the weird feel of rubbing the analogues against it?
Just got one because of this review… under 1ms response time when overclocked
GameStop has a sale on this brand new for $40 and I figured I would watch a review on it and now it feels like a steal for that price. I’ll see how I like it in a few days
This controller is awesome for the price. I bought this and the Razer Wolverine Ultimate at the same time and was going to return one. This one stayed, definitely worth the money.
Same, just got a Razer v2 chroma, and the Victrix. Just returned the Razer today lol.
@@kv8999 The gambit is that much better? I was considering the gambit, the v2 chroma, or the e Swap Pro S
@@ej9668 Absolutely. I was sold on the Razer cause of all the gimmicky crap like the tactile buttons and chroma, so much that I basically ignored the bad reviews 🤣 But the paddle design is horrible, and more importantly the thumbsticks feel wildly inaccurate (to me, at least) Maybe it's a deadzone issue, or a byproduct of the awkward holding position, but it's very hard to trace objects or "draw" a small circle with your crosshairs, basically anything requiring micro adjustments. When using the Razer, my accuracy in Halo actually dropped about 15% over a 2 day period.
The Victrix on the other hand, felt great right out of the box. Accurate, has legit hair triggers, good paddle design, etc. They basically nailed all the stuff that actually matters. It doesnt have chroma or tactile buttons, but the buttons feel fine and work as they should. The Gambit is also kontrol freek compatible, and the Razer isn't. Hope this helps
@@kv8999 how does it feel if you claw grip the controller? can you still hit those back buttons?
@@boristeplitskiy7632 I don't play claw, but it feels fine claw gripping it. Can still hit the back buttons easily 👌🏼
I just got this controller. The paddles/buttons on the back are too flat :( are there any back grips for the remote available?
If that makes sense please help
How do you set the deadzones to zero??? There's only a calibration option that automatically sets it for you. I'd love to set mine to zero if I can
I use the purple face, and I also use the CQC kontrol freeks on mine(cause they actually fit)and this is by far the most responsive controller I’ve ever used.
which CQC are you using? for xbox or ps?
@@ckhoho its under ps4 but it fits Xbox sticks as well I have my other one on my xbox power a controller also.
Yes they think in one day they can't said if it is good or bad and you have to spend time to see how it's and definitely this is the best controller for the price and accessories plus dolby for life and let's input lag. if you want to have a better feel go and buy the razer grips on amazon for 9 buck and put them on the back.
That’s exactly my setup as well, it works so well
please can you show us how to use the Victrix software to map the back buttons? And test what would happen if we map the back buttons to directions like back and then press forward on the dpad = forward or neutral?
Do they sell any Xbox controllers that automatically press buttons like they used to back in the day? As in; can you program the controller to press A every few seconds?
So im about a year late but i brought this controller and have a couple issues.
#1 Theres an in-built deadzone in the thumbsticks that isn't possible to turn off which is probably why there's no drift ever.
While it seems like a good thing, it makes micro adjustments impossible especially if you use a linear response curve in fps games.
#2 I shoot with the right bumper as opposed to the right trigger and for some reason it is impossible to fire an automatic weapon without the input being interrupted.
This makes it extremely unreliable.
The real outlier question here is... This or the RIG Nancon Revolution X controller?!
well damn, i was skeptical about this controller but i guess im gonna buy it rn lol
I might buy this!
I would love if you actually did an input latency test because I can tell you from testing and experience that certain controllers have better input latency than others. For example an Xbox one controller plugged into pc game me about 3.75-4 ms latency with every input I did but when I used 3rd party software to overclock my controller, those numbers when from 0.75-1.1 ms input latency. I think there’s a lot more to some of these controllers than even someone with your experience might know and it would be nice to see some actual testing to see what the actual input times are so that we aren’t saying stuff that isn’t true, or debunking marketing tactics when they just might be true. Plz test them and show us that!
what about improving my series x input latency? would this gambit be good for that? because I can't play FPS on my console, the input delay is noticeable
Xbox Controllers cap at 6.9 ms to 8 even if you over clock em
This controller was made for fighting games in mind. The input delay has some importance in a same-frame-input-clash situation specially on a "local tournament" scenario. And i think that has some merit to it. The fgc is so niche and weird in terms of controllers/sticks, but awesome at the same time.
Great review
Lol not even close worse controller I have ever used for fighting games not even close it's just straight trash
Would love to use this thing on ufc 4, the ground denials would be insane
Does the voice/game chat volume on the dpad of the controller work on wireless headsets or just wired headsets? 🤔
Do the thumsticks grind down on the friction rings over time since they are also plastic?
I love this controller. I should try the white shell. Oh and when was Barry bonds known for his arm?
When the steroids were coursing in his veins
I bought this controller after watching your review and you got it right. For being wired I can’t complain at all.
better than xbox elite 2 ?
@@gabek3468 being better than that junk is not much of an accomplishment
@@gabek3468 xbox elite is really perfect in terms of features and ergonomics. But its so unrelieable that i cant recommend. Either u get stick drift really quickly or whats worse is the buttons not prwssing when u push them. You really need to slam them to register the buttons. Its rly annoying
How long do you think this controller will last (joystick drift, etc.)?
I considered getting the Xbox Elite Controller (Series 2) on sale but decided against it because people were saying they had joystick drift within a year. I love the feel and look of the Elite, but play controller wired on PC so don't need the rechargeable battery. And for that price, experiencing joystick drift that fast is unacceptable.
sooo uhh.. you got answers 😂
yup ima have to get one for my birthday
Hi, I overclocked and tested input lag on the gambit and I got 1.8ms and 500hz. Is this correct for you? or is it an error?
Hey ahhhh where did you get that destiny ghost controller holder ? Irs not on amazon
that LED controller on the wall is sick! what is that?!!?
I bought this not exactly knowing what to expect but I was pleasantly surprised, performs as advertised with alot of accessories included. I heard some people say that it’s “overly sensitive”, well get back in the slow lane then grandpa! Lol!🤣
the only thing with this controller, that might persuade me to KEEP my razer wolverine ultimate is the non tactile buttons. Ive gottten so used to that, it would be very hard to go back to membrane a/b/x/y buttons. otherwise controller looks sweet. debating on still trying it!
hi, just one quick question, is it comfortable? like im looking at it and it just doesnt feel good to hold in hand
This my favourite controller to date pure and simply because of the performance of the sticks, paddle design, trigger design and trigger stops. Out perform any controller I've used. Elite 1& 2 and the standard SX controller and Razer V2 chroma. I don't care for the marketing BS either, all I know is it works and does it well.
Where it falls short is it feels cheap. Doesn't mean it's built bad or anything or it feels like it will break easily. But comparing it to an Elite or Razer it feels cheap.
But for $100 bucks it's the best bang for you buck. Looking forward to where these guys go next because I think they will make the controller market have to step it up for price, features and performance.
I use KontrolFreeks and added some gamergrip (custom cut to fit) to the backgrips.
When aiming in a game like COD is it smooth?
@@Mr.-NIGHTMARE-88 I haven't tried it in COD. Gave up on it 6 months ago. Too many hackers . Use mainly for Battlefeild V, 2042, Halo and Apex. Apex is a good test for the sticks because it has very unique recoil patterns to master, and the Victrix has been way more smoother control for tracking while maintaining the recoil pattern.
That solve the only issue with this controller some grip on the back and you can play the whole day!
@@rickd6914 does it have any problems with the deadzones
@@valkiller1562 I'd don't seem to have any issues, but I have heard some people say they have. I run most of my games with zero to little deadzones in game settings.
I might use the purple faceplate, if I choose to get it, currently like £75 on amazon, that or a razer wolverine, if the tournament was present, rip. My favourite colour is purple, hence why I might use it from time to time
@Gamer Heaven wich PC controller has the shortest overclocked Poling rate/ Imput delay?
I'm curious for how this will compare vs the PowerA Spectra Infinity. I still prefer the Power A over the scuf instict just because I find it more ergonomic. I ordered the vitrix, will keep you posted.
i have the spectra infinity its great only thing i dont like about it is the triggers
power a fusion probis better if u can find one
I’ll tell you I have the razer Wolverine tournament, the turtle beach recon which is what I use currently, I also have the Victrix Gambit & while the size of the controller and my kontrol freeks wit 4 prongs CQC Rush spin a bit but don’t come off and i have to use em but the 1 drawback of this controller is not only the 4 paddle system being very disappointing but also the 2 paddles are just as bad… the App, the Dolby Atmos, the smaller size of the controller, the trigger stops are very easy to put in which position you want then just pull the button you set wit and back to normal, there is 0 stick drift and you can recalibrate them via the app to keep them in tip top shape but as bad as I hate the no trigger stop for my TB Recon Controller it’s just the right weight, the right paddle placement, & the grips are nice & for $60 which I got on sale for $44.99 & I always seem to break something on my controllers or my left analog stick starts not working as intended etc. it’s the best for everything considered. I will say if xbox control freeks fit it properly I would say the tying controller would be the Tournament due to the 2 mappable buttons beside LB & RB but, I don’t necessarily like the ergonomic feel or the click of the rear paddles but i can’t use cuz at times the left stick won’t move my guy online so I tried cleaning and stuff but still did it.
I also have the fusion A Pro, had an elite 1 couple years ago and still have but pressin buttons by itself and Fusion Pro (2nd one) broke paddles & it’s super heavy.
i like the responsivness of this controller but the back paddles are unusable to me i constantly bump them on accident . wish i could adjust tention on stuff like this . any recommendations on controllers for dudes with heavy hands?
Buyer beware, there is an "intrinsic deadzone" set on the the thumbsticks. The sticks don't drift because it's not reading small adjustments. Not a big deal unless you are high sens player that plays with a low deadzone. Had to return mine, it messed up my aim too much.
What controller do you use now?
@@Jluntumbue I wound up sending my elite 2 to a guy that does mods/repairs. He's replacing the analog modules with stock ones (so no more wobble from the stick tensioner) and swapping the paddles out for buttons. Should have it back in a couple weeks.
Hey man i love your content and i wont buy a controller without your expert stamp of approval. My question is if you had an unlimited budget and you could get any controller for FPS (on PC) what would it be? I had some bad luck with scuf and aim controllers now im back on the market for a new controller.
Excluding scuf and aim , it would be a 4 button battle beaver with increased thumbstick tension on the right stick , some kontrol freeks and overclocked of course
@@GamerHeavenOfficial awesome thanks
Just felt like it was my responsibility to say that I’m currently on the second one of these controllers that has the same quality control issues of the last one. Out of the box the controller feels, looks and performs great! The only issue is if you use it for more than 20 hours of game time. With both of the controllers I have had issues with button/trigger registration (which I have clips of in the software), stick drift (which I “fix” every other hour) and the deterioration of the back buttons. Customer service was super helpful and sent me a new controller after I jumped through all their hoops set in place (calls,video of errors, emails, etc.). However, they needed me to send my controller back to them to get it serviced. So for about a week and a half I couldn’t play any of the titles I wanted on controller… After I received my second “new” controller I noticed that the issues of the original controller had repeated itself. Never had anything like this happen with any Scuf or Razer controller I’ve purchased. After returning this controller I think I’m just gonna settle for an elite series 2. I hope that I run into far less issues with that!
How do you fox stick drift
@@Tom-nh5lr Using the software you can recalibrate the sticks
@@thad4242 I suppose but if the deadzone is already off place there’s no fox really
could you remap the trigger buttons to the back buttons?
New sub 🤙 Were you in the Marine Corps ? You have a lot of the signs lol
Hey man, I appreciate that! I am currently active duty Navy , I've been in 10 years, and spent alot of time deployed with Marines.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Thank you for your service, my guy ❤️
How long is the manufacturing warranty on this? I can't find it anywhere. I'm between this and the elite 2. Thinking the warranty is the difference maker.
Elite 2 on sale rn for $140 I would go with that and get the Best Buy warranty for another $40 and you can literally get a new controller every 2 years
Did you make that destiny ghost controller stand ??? I can't seam to find it
I always thought PDP was a low end brand. This definitely has a ton of features for the money. The elite 2 has been on sale for $139 and probably a better option in my opinion (includes a charger and can be used wirelessly). This seems to be a great option if you couldn’t find the elite 2 on sale. I like the tension adjustments on my elite 2. I may have missed it, but how does the tension on the thumb sticks feel? I’m not a fan of the super loose sticks (I use the middle tension setting on my elite 2). Oh, and I shoved my thumb for you 😉
If it's about tension for you the victrix it's not the one because they are plactic tumbstick.
Elite 2 Is one of the slowest and least responsive controllers you can get
I wonder how long my wolverine chroma will last against the gambit cause i might buy it if my chroma v2 breaks haven’t had any problems tho in the first month of owning my chroma v2.
I’m going for this controller next, after deciding I can’t keep paying £200 for an elite series 2 now I only get time to play a few hours a week. I’ve heard it can have issues after a few months but on Amazon it comes with a 2 year warranty anyway!
I bought this controller and recommend it! “Elite” controllers are overpriced just, way too many problems with them.

Friend, what better controller for Xbox séries, victrix gambit or trustmaster eswap x pro controller?
I would say it is NOT AT ALL OVER HYPED. If anything it’s very under hyped and under rated. I’ve tried a ton of paddled controllers and upon the first day having it, to my surprise it is already my absolute favorite and most natural at home feeling controller for my hands and the response time is absolutely noticeable for me. I will be honest I am Blown away how good it is and more how much I really like it, the plastic does feel cheap but it feels so good and performs so well I could really care less. Can’t believe this is the one for me 😂 spent all this money over the years for what! Lol
Awesome.!!!!!!
The hexagonal plates would be good for super monkey ball aswell
And any game i guess that has only 8 way input like arcade games
Well, consider yourself the only other go-to for honest controller reviews. The other being vCuda! Because most others get paid to "talk-up" shit only for me to be convinced and then greatly disappointed.
I'm considering this or the Thrustmaster eSwap Pro. Which would you recommend?
I am currently in the same dilemma. Which one did you choose and how did you like it?
