You're one of the few gaming related youtubers to have mastered comedy.😂
Some of the best, honest commentary. I love it 😂
I haven’t seen this dude in like a year, and just seeing this video makes me happy
I also love this channel. Even tho I'm not looking for a controller I'll watch all of your reviews to keep up to date
Great review i have the armor x on my controller have had it since November 2022 i love it feels great and i can remap the buttons good placement. Will watch ur review for it thnx again.
They were so close to making something perfect. But unfortunately they used the cheapest, loudest smd buttons that can’t be replaced
maybe they will make a better one?
They also are the least comfortable to use back buttons I've ever handled. If the PowerA Fusion Pro 3's thumbsticks hold up as well as my official Xbox controllers have, there will be little reason to get a strike pack or more expensive pro controllers.
@@felismenari all my fusionA controllers get really bad stick drift and thats with just a week
@@felismenariHow is the 3 working for you I'm debating getting it since my L3 on the 2 is now having issues
Please make a tier list with all the controllers and brands you've tested
I truly appreciate your videos.
Great vid! Can you review the DarkWalker ShotPad FPS. I'm very interested in your opinion. Cheers!
You are soo funny I always laugh while watching you !
Keep them coming hey what’s that hogwarts u were play In video ?
You need to checkout the pivotal grip. It’s like a control freaks but it’s got a pivoting top bit. It’s actually sick.
The stache is back. Nice
The powera fusion pro 3 came out, it's mostly the same but they switched the paddles for 4 buttons which is nice
I got that controller it's really nice in my opinion.
Lmao the last minute or two was off the rails. Love it. Lmao
okie u sold me already at 2:40 - 3:01 done thanks for the Review bud
Can't wait for the victrix pro bfg review
I've had all strike packs for both ps4/XSX... The button design is way more uncomfortable and also does something a back input configuration never have before, it tires me the fuck out. A paddle is springy and every press will help out with the next press I various degrees. Buttons do not. But could be something to get used to perhaps.
For me paddles will always be supreme, but if you're someone who doesn't use the back inputs very often. You might enjoy buttons more.
However, after having owned most back Paddle controllers since scuf's first and most back Button controllers, as well as plenty of back Attachments, there is one thing that still holds true; No matter how old no Paddle configuration has yet to break for me and on avg 9/10 Button configurations have broken/got perma-stuck.
For me at least, but I guess we all have different natural wear & tear bias.
:). Sry for any confusing English, being a grumpy ol' Swede and all.
Nice vid and content and as always: keep it up and never change!

I subbed the moment I heard simpsons hit and run music from Lisa missions. I love this guy
Saw these at GameStop and took the gamble, here I am looking up reviews instead of trying it myself but this video and channel are well worth finding so win-win
1. Will this work without the mod pass all i want is the 4extra buttons
2. Will they still be able to work after xbox added the only licensed by xbox will be able to work with their system
@@yuhidek4283yea they’ll still work bc it’s not rlly traceable Xbox can trace it but it doesn’t seem like they’re gonna try to for a while
Yo you gotta review the powerA fusion pro 3 controller that was just released. I’d really like to know if it can be overclocked and how it compares to the victrix gambit
What happened to the armor x pro review? I was interested in seeing how that compares to the strike pack
will you do a review of the wireless strike pack?
Hey Cuda do you plan on reviewing the hyperx clutch gladiator?
OMG dude I want hair like yours. My action sucks as its literally starting to fall out. Btw thx for the vid.
I'd be really interested if you can try to see if it fits and works on the GuliKit KingKong 2 Pro
The hybrid thing sucks. Apparently that's what I have. It took me days, and Im still not even sure, to figure out that the buttons keep disconnecting or getting remapped. The lights keep turning green for what I assume is "Tournament Mode" but I literally have no idea how Im even doing it and its annoying as hell. The support page is literally non-existent. I only got it for the extra buttons and it is honestly such a waste of time and money.
You're right on the money about it being one of the most comfortable "back-placed" buttons I ever felt though.
I figured out how to make the PERFECT CONTROLLER. We use hall effect thumsticks and then the D Pad and ABXY buttons are like razer controllers, really click, then we add trigger stops and 2 back buttons on the back
Make it 4 back buttons and then it will be perfect
Welcome back! I was considering this, but usb c cable and what you said, made me reconsider my choice. I have the chance to buy a razer wolverine chroma for 60euros, or the Elite 2 for 70. Any suggestion? I really like mech buttons on the razor (but back buttons sucks) and the paddles on the elite 2 (but drift and failure scares me).
Had 4 elite series 2.. Don’t go there.. I’m on the look for a good pro controller as well. Check out the asus one coming out this year for the Xbox. It really looks pretty dope!
@@HawkNocturnal bought the Wolverine chroma for 25 euros (warehouse discount + Microsoft rewards point). I hope for the best
Their solution to the micro usb is really good though. I’ve had a dominator and eliminator for a very long time and their cables are kept so steady neither have ever degraded.
@@Sennarzz yeah I’ve wanted to try this aswell. Just concerned about the placement of the back buttons. But the mechanical face buttons is es. Did u get it? And how is it? One question though mate, this Microsoft rewards points, how does it works? Can’t seem to find out maybe it’s where I lived I heard it only worked in some countries. 🙏🏻
lets go!! another vCuda video
Man what would u say is the best pro controller to get as of now? For the series x and pc.
If I bought this and put it on my stock series X controller would I end up getting banned from WZ just because they might detect it? My Elite Series 2 LB isn't working anymore and this might be better than buying a whole new controller/fixing the Elite 2
I love this guy 😂
Can you review the Machenike g6 and Sonicon elite edge edition controllers? Both have Hall effect sticks
Fair warning about the Armor-X Pro. You can't use a headset through the controller wirelessly 😤
I did that but mine kept disconnecting. Either when ever I put it down on the desk, or have to unplug and plug it back in every time I turn my box on
i just bought one for my series c controller and for some reason it doesn’t fit it but it fits my xbox 1 controller😊
I found the buttons on the eliminator very hard to press and hard to keep the controller held when the buttons are there
The location of the remapping buttons makes this completely unusable for me. I just can't avoid accidental presses.
2 vcuda videos in less than a week? Must be Christmas.
Can u make a video on the extremerate button mod kit
These things are honestly terrible.
- Connection issues out the wazoo.
- Randomly shutting off
- Locking up your controller so you have ZERO input
- The Home button stops working
- The big guarantee is the paddles eventually break.
I've gone back to my 5 year old White Elite Series 1 and I'm doing just fine.
I’m new to these but can’t you use the mods if you’re playing against the computer or the NPC’s?
I have one. However my controller died right before I could use. So I went back to my PlayStation 4 with a strike pack. I didn’t load hacks. Didn’t know that was a thing until one of the guys promoting scuff brought it up. I’ve had it for about 2 years and it has out lasted one ps4 controller.
Great vid Cuda. Can this work with the GuliKit King Kong Pro 2?
No
@@wolfiez3773 thanks bruv
@@TheOneCloudless No problem 🐛
I tried the older version to run wired and gain connection speed. it just provides power the signal is still sent wirelessly I would also frequently shock me every time I picked it up. terrible product.
Hey talk about the new PDP control
hey you think you could do a gmk analog stick review I think its got good ideas but secretly shit
are your controllers from oct 2021 still going strong?
You said no one's done anything this generation... Clearly you need to get your hands on the Victrix BFG Pro.
Some of the best controller design to date. If the triggers were just a little less angled & the controller had shift key functionality like the elite series 2, I would dub it the #1 controller of the whole generation.
(Still waiting on my HYPR PS5, but I don't think it'll beat out the Victrix)
Do you do any actual testing like is there a input delay or whatnot.
I'm sure its possible, but from where in standing there's no way for me to test the input delay the device gives the controller. Aside from getting something like a USB analyzer, which I plan to do one day for these videos. The polling rate remains unchanged, and it doesn't feel any different from stock. I assume if there is a delay, it wouldn't be any more than 3 or 4ms
Aside from response time, there really isn't much else testing I can do unfortunately. I've rigorously used the strikepack for months before reviewing it so I could ensure I was certain about my conclusions. But if there's some other type of testing you had in mind please let me know! I've actually been curious to find things people would want to see tested
Would something like this work with the King Kong pro 2??
Love their trigger stops though
How do you get it to work on pc, specifically for fortnite?
Would the universal version be fine too?
could you do a review on the cinch gaming controllers?
PRO TIP: you can remap 2 buttons at the same time to make a macro, you'll probably gonna change some settings in the game such as "hold to"
Warthunder macros
Review Darkwalker Shotpad. Please :(
Review Darkwalker Shotpad. Please :(
You shoudnreview the big big won armor x
I am guarantied in a session of game that ill remap on accident at least once but over multiple hours its not to bad
Back to say the strike pack 4 back buttons have died. I've had the thing maybe 5 months.
What's your best controller recommendation for competitive COD/Warzone?
KEYBM
I plan on making a video about this one day. Honestly, if you want something solid thats easily replaceable with half decent features the Gamesir G7 seems like a good option. But it doesn't have trigger stops, only deadzone adjustments.
If you were looking for trigger stops, the Victrix Gambit isn't a terrible option but it isn't that reliable.
All around though, IF you happened to get a good one, the Eswap S Pro is the best option. Swpapable sticks that are accurate, 2 extra buttons, trigger stops etc. Although Thrustmaster controllers aren't that consistent based upon customer reviews from various websites
Hyper x just dropped a controller with 2 rear buttons and trigger stops. Check it out
@@vCuda thanks for the recommendations I will definitely check some of those out when I get my new controller.
You aren’t a 4 bro! More like a 8. Keep up the good videos bro
Just started vid, but wasn't there a crackdown on using these for FPS like Fortnite, cod etc?
You can put scripting on StrikePacks to do recoil control and other macros that provide inhuman advantages, and those are indeed not permitted in any game with a functioning brain on staff. StrikePacks themselves are fine. Obviously, check your game first, but it should be fine if you're just doing button remapping to have more buttons on more fingers.
@@JeanneDGames"Functioning brain on staff" So you are fine to use it on COD...
@@JeanneDGames people have been banned for just using the back buttons on Fortnite and COD. It's why I've never picked up the device.
Does this work on xbox one S?
Can you get banned for using strike pack on Fortnite
Have u tried the bigwon? Battery keeps wireless.
Nevermind end of your video says you are... lol
Lol yessir I plan to get that comparison & review our next month
Another vid well well
Can you use it "technically" wirelessly and can you fit the xbox rechargeable battery pack
And also... is it for only xbox like can you stick it to pc
You can use it on PC, but it won't work wirelesely under any condition. Although the ArmorX Pro StrikePack is capable of doing wireless connectivity on both PC and Xbox
@@vCuda oh...
Well thank you for answering tho
im curious as to why its 40$ tho not worth it imo unless the placement id the key for someone
@Llify holy sh-
I just realised how horribbly i wrote
Key placement is*
Was you gameplay on console or pc @vCuda
I almost slid pass this video x
sorry i didnt see this video when i left my other comments lol
Does this work on pc
does it get macro?
as a pc player, would anyone recommend this or a powera spectra strictly for the paddle use, i'd really like to avoud paying 200 plus dollars for a scuf
I’ve never had any issues with the eliminator on PC. They add the buttons and the buttons work great. No issues in steam.
@@piedpiper1172 hey how did you set it up on pc Im having trouble my controller turns on but doesn’t work ingams
@@rizingalfa1226 It should just be plug and play.
Put the pack on, plug the cord into the controller and then into your PC.
I have packs for both PS4 & Xbox controllers and they all work.
Make sure you aren’t trying to connect via Bluetooth even when plugged in. That wouldn’t work.
@@piedpiper1172 i got it to work had to go into the Microsoft store and download accessories and update the controller
The prices of these things are ridiculous for what they are in all honesty. Just a cheap little microcontroller, a short cable, a very small amount of plastic, and some buttons. All these things actually do is just intercept and repeat input, and inject input. Personally, I'd rather only pay $20 for something like this, and that's only if it's more premium; $90 for baby's first rear buttons (of a more premium variety) is an easier pill to swallow compared to $110, and $140 for wireless and right-stick gyro injection is laughable, especially compared to other offerings out there.
Honestly I somewhat wish companies would use this kind of approach to rear buttons. Just give us a rear shell with various layouts, everyone can have their preferred button type and location this way, instead of making some of the most braindead layouts imaginable. The closest thing is probably PowerA's pack implementation with custom paddles, for actuator location at least, though the packs themselves are pretty limited in terms of expandability, and are fairly bulky for what they actually are.
If everyone could just decide on a universal back shell design, a universal button pack expansion header (preferably a serial device with open firmware on the controller side), and had a variety of back plates from the various manufacturers (along with DIY solutions), the rear button game could be so much better than it currently is. Some people like the original Scuff vertical paddles, some like the horizontal paddles that the XB Series introduced, then every company has a different button arrangement, paddle and button shapes, etc., while one solution does not work for everyone due to hand size and finger length, among other factors. Yet we'll never see this, I don't think even Thrustmaster would be willing to do this even though they have customizable kits for their ESwap controllers. Again, PowerA's pack is probably the closest thing, except it's inherently limited and doesn't have the best design.
It'd also be nice to just have a fully customizable controller platform, yet the closest we've gotten are swappable modules that don't see the fuller potential of modular platforms. Combine this with the previous of back button preferences, face buttons have wider possibilities, and there's even some shoulder button variety. Some people like the Xbox layout, some like the PS layout, some prefer the dual top sticks from the Wii U era, some people still like the GC's button arrangement, some people still want six face buttons; some people want extra shoulders (IIRC Razer and Flydigi are the only ones to do this), I haven't yet seen a PS-WIIU hybrid layout with a bottom left and top right stick, there's other fairly atypical ideas as well.
The only time a fully custom controller should be needed, outside of aesthetic purposes, is when a layout gets into the super atypical territory where a fully modular controller wouldn't suffice. Such as having pads like a Steam Controller, or having an analog slider under a button set such as the Flydigi Apex 2, or what Tech Yesterday has done with controller ideas, or what Input Labs has done with their Alpakka controller, etc. Modularity should be the answer to a consumer having their preferable controller, and modularity has been proven to be a viable idea within the space, we'er even seeing swappable faceplates on some controllers now. More companies need to jump on the idea with more offerings for what can be customized, yet so far only Thrustmaster has gone that far, at least in terms of OEM products that can be purchased separately; of course mod companies exist and companies that have a pre-purchase builder exist. Not to mention that this could easily be cheaper for the consumer in the end if they want something that doesn't fully exist otherwise, say a Wii U stick layout, six action buttons, extra shoulders, and back buttons, a custom controller of that design would get extremely costly as a one-off as a commission, yet if modularity existed to that extent it'd be the cost of the controller plus some accessories, while the company producing these themselves can have a way to keep the same overall profit margins doing so.
This is to funny 😂
Which controller was that at 3:09 ?
@Llify And if custom, which button pack?😉 The trigger stops look like extremerate, but I don’t think I’ve ever seen those buttons
You should make a video of the cheapest controller for poor people. (me)
Does xbox one version work on series S?
No
I’m here
If you'd like to see a stark pack dominator review rewatch the last 60 seconds 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Bro be care full they are banning account For strike packs also... 😢😢😢😢
I literally don't trust anybody else's reviews lol
You just gotta find other trustworthy creators! They're ou there i promise lol but I appreciate the compliment
Lmaoo this might be the best review
Oh they did something to it alright.
you paying that 40 bucks so it doesn't get detected by anticheat if you want to use its scripts.
Can you get banned
Exactly why I came here lol... But I hope not
Strike DooDoo
Can i rant about my Armor X real quick? no? shut up(kindly), anyway.
this thing breaks my fucking heart man, because from a mechanical and design stand point it's perfect to me. it offers all i've ever wanted, great buttons and.... thats it. thats all i need.
but it's just a hot deuce wearing a tailored tux, after just less than 2 weeks my controller would briefly turn into a brick and all my inputs go out the fucking window. leading to the most ideal ranked experience, involuntary high speed 360s during an ez clutch up.
please shine some light on how atrocious its input lag is and how far it inevitably deteriorates. my controllers fine btw, hilarious how it works PERFECTLY once i simply remove the Chunk of Blasphemy.
10/10 punted it through the wall.
