Addition: I should have talked about the T4 Kaleid from GameSir during the budget of the year segment as that controller has all the same features plus more for $5 more although often on sale for the same $40-45. I picked the G7 (and SE variant) because they are wired Xbox controllers that also work on PC, as where the T4 is a wired Switch controller. If you are only playing on PC this really doesn't matter and you should get the T4 Kaleid. I honestly also forgot this controller launched this year, for some reason I thought I reviewed it late last year, sorry about that everyone. T4 if only on PC, G7 if you want to use it on Xbox too. Kaleid Controller Review: ruclips.net/video/l3cNAhmuQfA/видео.html G7 SE Review ruclips.net/video/YgbqjRiRkZ8/видео.html Correction: the GameSir G8 Galileo mobile controller is $80, not $100 making it even better.
Such a good video!! I was put off a little by the length but now wish I watched it earlier. Thank you for the time stamps. Keep up the great content and HAPPY NEW YEAR!
Damn this is amazing! Can't wait to watch it all. All the hard work is paying off man. Hopefully one day you can influence companies for better controllers overall for the industry 👊🏽
love your content bro i went with fusion pro 3 this yr because of your review, awesome controller for my needs, hope you have a great new year pumping out great content on new products ...cheers.
8bitdo Bluetooth Ultimate is my controller of year. It’s not too heavy and having all the features of pro controller minus 2 back buttons (I’m ok with only 2 in the back). The D-pad is spot in and there are so many systems it can connect to. Thanks for the video and Happy New Year!
I've been watching for a while now. Great work, mate. You have really matured as a creator and found your groove. Keep up the good work. Love from Sydney, Australia.
Vader 3 Pro is my controller of the year thanks to this channel. I even bought the dock for it that allows the dongle to be plugged in, which stopped the disconnect issue I was having. I do want to try the Turtle Beach controller, but the price is keeping me at bay for now. I did try the Gamesir kaelid, Machenike G5 pro, and Elite 2. But the Vader 3 Pro is just so great.
14:39 100% agreed! Flydigi Vader 3 Pro has been my mainstay controller since the day I got it. Nothing comes close. The additional buttons are invaluable for my flight sim stuff! Especially since I can even bind them to keyboard/mouse actions
How tf is this channel not bigger!? I recently found you by way of looking up a ps portal review (which by the way, you were CORRECT- that thing is trash!!) and you’ve fast become my favorite channel on here. It’s like the big boy gaming channel. Dropping a few f-bombs, keeping it real, no bs, mixed with some ADD
Well done kev you’ve out done yourself again super appreciative of your content and your delivery of it. I’ve purchase a few controllers baised on your reviews(kbam main) just to find the love for console gaming again. Looking forward to 2024 and the tech to come! Hope you had a great Xmas with the fam and have a happy new year! See you soon! ❤
dude you know techne???omg i love BOTH your channels and hope you all have a wonderful new year! and by the way, i held the scuff envision pro, and i want one so bad, i am currently using the wolverine with tactile buttons and i cant go back. ONE LOVE STALLION/ETTES
He's is a really cool guy, we just started talking recently but hit it off instantly. One love bro. Enjoy the Razer until you get your hands on the Envision.
You've been one of my favorite channels over the past couple years, the humor and straightforwardness is really entertaining and refreshing. If you ever get bigger into game reviews too I think you'd grow this channel so fast!
I don't usually have that much money to spend on controllers so I'm moreso exclusive to the budget range, but I was able to get my hands on the GameSir G7 (the SE hadn't released yet!) and I've been absolutely *thrilled* with just how good of a controller it is. They really nailed it with the feel and use, and their app is absolutely painless to use and does everything as it should. Excellent controller. My runnner-up would be PowerA's newest RGB controller, the 'Lumectra', which I feel addresses almost every complaint I had with their older Spectra Infinity, and even improves on aspects that I wasn't expecting (no stick drift out of the box!). If it had hall effect sensors, it would've been my #1, but then again I suspect that GameSir would still rank above it if I had the SE on hand. :P If only I had more money to work with!
After I saw the COTY part I started to look for some long term reviews about the FLYDIGI Vader 3 pro and there were a lot of complaints about the spring in the sticks going bad so it wont center correctly and get wiggly, that is why I am afraid to buy it. I would use it mainly for warzone,so it would be used "hard".
Just delivered today, got the Vader 3 pro with phone mount, case and charging dock for £66 + Taxes = £79 to the UK. Unbelievable 7 day delivery from China. Just sussing everything out. Hopefully it's as good as people say. Oh and happy new year......
Have you heard of the Snakebyte Xbox controllers? They have hall effect thumbsticks and come in a few variants, one with back buttons and one without back buttons. Would love to get your opinion on those controllers.
I love the community part. Too bad VCuda wasn't available, but it was really cool getting a variety of opinions. Also, I was a bit skeptical about the game awards, as I rarely watch reviews anymore. But, they're great. I appreciate that you kept things light with minimal detail. No spoilers here, just nice quick recommendations.
Hi ! I play on PC and I would like to replace my Xbor series elite 2 controller for a higher gaming model. I was hesitant about the Scuf Envision and the Aim controller PS5 model. but the Hypr wins the selection, are the paddle are really better on the HYPR ? thank for your help
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Yep I have watched your full review right after. But still hesistating between Aim controller and Hypr. The paddle seems Weaker on the aim controller in Your review in terms of ergonomie for using 4 paddle.
@@GamerHeavenOfficial the complaint is with rotation as the friction ring seems to knick at the joystick over time. I technically think this happens with all controllers though with usage
Hi, GamerHeaven! I was curious if you have experienced any issues with the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra controller in regards to the sticks rubbing against the anti-friction rings? My GameSir SE had this exact same issue, and I’ve seen reviews stating they had this problem as well. What happens is, the plastic sticks against the plastic rings, rub and wear a groove into the sticks and causes very noticeable friction. It’s almost like the sticks are gliding along sand paper. I really want this to be acknowledged by someone who is as knowledgeable as you are when it comes to this type of stuff. Thanks so much for all you do!
Nacon 5 does what I needed for PC. The Hall Effect no issue for me. Felt the same for me as the Gamesir G7. I wanted the Flydigi But I got scammed for 100 from them said it was shipped but never received the controller.
I currently have an elite series 2 for my PC. I only play on PC. Im really leaning on "Scuf envision pro" but do you have any other suggestion that may be a better alternative? It being so new worries me but so far its the one im leaning towards.
For me controller of the year was the Edge. No one is talking about it but the Steam support for the FN and paddles baked right in is Amazing! I tried the nova 7, turtle beach 700 gen2, stealth pros, the EPOS pc38xs and the Audeze Maxwells, I went with the Maxwells. They are pretty amazing. Gave the EPOS ones to my wife. Didn’t try the Nova pros though. Also got the Anda seat XL gray and it’s pretty amazing. Sold a bunch of stuff so Santa was nice to me this year. Also got a Razer V2 Hyperspeed Mouse. Yeah it was pretty much my whole setup this Christmas.
thats a good point about the steam buttons/mapping support. I have heard nothing but good things and recommendations about the maxwells. I am glad to hear you had a gaming tech loaded Christmas, I also need to sell all my old gear that no longer gets used like it should
Gonna get both an Edge and HYPR controller. If I get a prebuilt signature does it also have the grips around the controller or is that exclusive to the builder?
Nice suit brother keep up the amazing job you do 🎉 and thanks for the video you are one of kind when it comes to the controller gang that's why you are controller 🎓 captain 💪
What an amazing video.. Completely unreleated but i am beginning to make a gaming setup and I'm going to eventually get the TurtleBeach Stealth Ultra, a Gaming Desk, and Monitor but I wanna know your opinion on the order I should get things in... I currently just have a T.V Xbox Series X and Stock Controller (After my series 2 broke on me)
I mainly play PC games some my controller of the year would have to be the Scuff Envision Pro. It's perfect for me since I use it one handed with my mouse since it's not to heavy and thanks to the side button and rear buttons it allows for a lot of options for single hand use. Then I use the Corsair Darkstar RGB wireless, which is like an MMO mouse, where I program most of the inputs. The only issue I have with the mouse is that it's a bit cheap feeling and I have noticed some creaking noises when left clicking. But thankfully it's a bit random and I don't notice it while gaming.
i really wish there was a scuf envision-like controller that worked on either consoles. the envision is by far my favorite controller for fighting games, but half of the fun of fighting games is offline play, where limiting such a good dpad and controller shape combination to windows is just a shame. the extra buttons aren’t even necessary for me besides maybe the back ones. loved the vid btw!
I love your reviews and the work that you put into them, but i really think that you should find a way to disclose your bias towards mechanical buttons and games where the dpad is an afterthought. I got the flydigi, and while its dpad FEELS amazing, functionally its pretty trash for fighting games. Half and full circle motions miss the down input maybe 70% of the time if i rapid fire them, whereas i can hit like 98% on a standard xbox controller. So apparently if you use the dpad too quickly it eats inputs. Which sucks cuz otherwise its perfect. I've also bought the gamesir t4 kaleid on your suggestion, and the dpad, while it wasnt eating inputs like the flydigi, was just machined way too tight to use quickly and still be comfortable, plus its mechanical buttons require so much force that button presses dont happen any faster than regular membranes, so its only a positive if you insist on mechanical. (I'm not anti mech switches btw, these just dont work well if your primary input method over long periods are the face buttons used quickly) I really think you should take this into consideration for your reviews. Could save people money and trips for amazon returns. Different games require different things, and if your primary way of testing is playing shooters, there will be aspects of the controllers you review that you miss or dont even think about. That said though, keep up the good work! Youre still one of the best!
@@elbert5208 im not hardcore enough in platform fighters to get controllers specialized for them. I only play rivals of aether, and i use whatever my daily driver is to play it. But im guessing the main features that you'd look for are stick tension and octagonal gates for the sticks.
Can’t say thank you enough from the money saved not spending money on the coolest new thing that turns out to being crap, to things I’ve never heard of being some of the best stuff I’ve bought. All the way back around to the TOP TIER quality of content!!! Thank you. I got the victrix pro bfg because of you and have not been disappointed. Haven’t been subscribed long but you’re definitely now my go to reviewer!! Can’t wait for 2024!
I haven’t had a pro controller since the elite 2 which I sold to a pawn shop after 2 months(stick drift) but that was in 2020 or so. Since then I just buy standard controllers with a Best Buy warranty, every 90 days give or take another $20 and a new controller but the one that lasted the longest was the lunar shift. Two days ago I traded in another one and opted for the TB ultra but of course not in stock so I’m controller-less until next week. I played a lot of great games in 2023 but I had the most fun probably with Lies of P so I gotta give it my goty. For 2024 I’m predicting my goty is more than likely going to black myth wukong but we’ll see how that turns out. Also I think hell blade 2 is going to fall short of expectations. As for stinker of 2024 suicide squad is gonna be hard to beat 😂. Great video love your content and that bit at the begging with the microphone was hilarious. Almost forgot my honorable mention Jedi survivor was plagued with issues but fun af
Scuf Envision is my favorite. It fits my hands perfectly and i love it as my main mmo controller. its op af. the software is a pain in the ass but the controller is great.
My pick is my 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless Bluetooth controller. I don't think it came out in 2023 but it's still competitive in 2023 to present. It's a pro controller for an affordable price. Can connect via wire with type c, 2.4ghz dongle and Bluetooth. It's perfect for me to use on the switch, pc and my android fone. I just love value buys and this is one of my fav purchases of 2023. I still get tempted to buy other pro controllers just because i like shiny new things but i dont. Realistically the 8bitdo ultimate Bluetooth is all i need.
Hey gamers heaven I have an Alienware r13 and for some reason on every game their is a massive deadzone I’ve tried different controllers, reinstalled windows and have done almost everything any solution to this weird issue
@@GamerHeavenOfficial ya man I have tried everything in that video, And I play games like fornite, warzone, apex legends. Especially in Fortnite I have my deadzone on the lowest but it still feels so bad. (I use ps4 DualShock controllers)
what about the gamesir T4K for the best budget controller? fits every circle js like the g7 se but with extra features, so any particular difference or js matter of preference, and keep up the amazing videos!
Honestly thats a great controller, and I have heard the same question from a few people on this video. I am going to make a quick pinned post to explain why. Thank you my friend
I cant believe how the BigbigWon Rainbow 2 Pro controller is totally flying under the radar. I have or have tried all of the usual suspects when it comes to pro controllers and this thing has been my daily driver since I bought it 2 months ago. It's wayyyyy too good for the price.
yesir but im searching one that feels the same as ds4 or dualsense with hall effect.. i have gamesir g7 se however it feels lees tension, hollow empty idk@@GamerHeavenOfficial
I really enjoyed this and agree with most of what you said however I haven’t played most of the games or used the tech you have but I currently own a aim controller however it was before the magnet face plates came in but I’ve been enjoying it since I purchased it
If the Edge had 4 paddles it would be a no brainer for me. I love the AIM controller I have, and the SCUF PS5 controller is also great as well. Can't recommend HYPR due to the insanely lengthy build times (2 months plus, and doesn't ship from the US).
@@BangSkeeet No doubt, however, atleast you can change the thumbstick modules effortlessly and don't have to send an entire controller back to fix stick drift. It's not perfect and you gotta spend money for a new module but it can be fixed in an instant.
@@BangSkeeet idk what that means hahaha.. if there's no drift I'm happy. If there's drift and I can fix it easily short of spending like 20 bucks, I'm also happy.
Love the videos. So many controllers.... I want a ps5 style controller to play on the steam deck. hall effect joysticks and some nice back buttons. It seems like Hyper really fits the bill here but if the back buttons are just re-maps of the front buttons then can you use the back buttons for things like steam input? Like you can for back buttons on the steam deck? Does that even exist? lol
Call Kevin you always kill every single one of your videos my dude thanks for all your great content love watching your stuff so informative dude you're so smart like the way that you like put stuff in like your humor and then plus also the way that you look into all of the specs and everything and just figure everything out for us you do it and I don't have to and I'm thankful for that but I have to tell you one thing. Turn-based combat is amazing if you have any patience and like a thinkers brain like one of those like above and beyond like Bobby Fischer's like really smart... Some of us play video games for different reasons though and I understand your opinion I just don't understand it for me or the reality of it I just understand that the world is full of people that just need to go go go go go go like they're born with crack in their body and I just don't and will never understand how people can't sit and play a game like chess where its strategic and it takes time and everything like that like those old days aren't Dead they're very alive and very well it's just half the planet is like I'm on math and then half the planet is like I can be patient and use my brain
Do the controllers control us?..or do we control them? Controllers control the game and we control them, are we the top controller of all time? Love the videos, controllers are tight.
I got the Vader 3 Pro because of your review and been using it for months now and I still feel like I stole from our local online seller for getting it below like 60$.
great video, you really have a lot to share, about the zelda game, they wanted to own the game formula because there is a small business called gatcha games making records, like, crazy ammounts of money, so yeah, nintendo is just all about that money OC
Sale figures 😂. Obviously the casual playstation users will pick the edge up ahead of any other modded controller. Just having 2 back paddles makes it almost useless

It's perfect for me since I use it one handed with my mouse since it's not to heavy and thanks to the side button and rear buttons it allows for a lot of options for single hand use. Then I use the Corsair Darkstar RGB wireless, which is like an MMO mouse, where I program most of the inputs. The only issue I have with the mouse is that it's a bit cheap feeling and I have noticed some creaking noises when left clicking. But thankfully it's a bit random and I don't notice it while gaming.
i really wish there was a scuf envision-like controller that worked on either consoles. the envision is by far my favorite controller for fighting games, but half of the fun of fighting games is offline play, where limiting such a good dpad and controller shape combination to windows is just a shame. the extra buttons aren’t even necessary for me besides maybe the back ones. loved the vid btw!
I love your reviews and the work that you put into them, but i really think that you should find a way to disclose your bias towards mechanical buttons and games where the dpad is an afterthought. I got the flydigi, and while its dpad FEELS amazing, functionally its pretty trash for fighting games. Half and full circle motions miss the down input maybe 70% of the time if i rapid fire them, whereas i can hit like 98% on a standard xbox controller. So apparently if you use the dpad too quickly it eats inputs. Which sucks cuz otherwise its perfect.
I've also bought the gamesir t4 kaleid on your suggestion, and the dpad, while it wasnt eating inputs like the flydigi, was just machined way too tight to use quickly and still be comfortable, plus its mechanical buttons require so much force that button presses dont happen any faster than regular membranes, so its only a positive if you insist on mechanical. (I'm not anti mech switches btw, these just dont work well if your primary input method over long periods are the face buttons used quickly)
I really think you should take this into consideration for your reviews. Could save people money and trips for amazon returns. Different games require different things, and if your primary way of testing is playing shooters, there will be aspects of the controllers you review that you miss or dont even think about. That said though, keep up the good work! Youre still one of the best!
In your opinion, what were the top budget consoles for fighting games like smash bros?
@@elbert5208 im not hardcore enough in platform fighters to get controllers specialized for them. I only play rivals of aether, and i use whatever my daily driver is to play it. But im guessing the main features that you'd look for are stick tension and octagonal gates for the sticks.
broooo your outfit is fire 🔥
Love hearing it
What is the game in the background of the video?
Hey bro happy new year!!! Can you do a review of the fantech nova controller
Yes I can. Happy New Year 🎊
@@GamerHeavenOfficial respect 🫡
Can’t say thank you enough from the money saved not spending money on the coolest new thing that turns out to being crap, to things I’ve never heard of being some of the best stuff I’ve bought. All the way back around to the TOP TIER quality of content!!! Thank you. I got the victrix pro bfg because of you and have not been disappointed. Haven’t been subscribed long but you’re definitely now my go to reviewer!! Can’t wait for 2024!
Glad I could help Devin. It means a lot to read comments like this, truly.
Best controller for docked mode handheld?
Vader 3 pro
I was debating if I should get Gamesir T4 Kaleid or Gamesir G7 SE, and bought the T4 Kaleid yesterday. Then this video comes out :p
No worries I am about to make a pinned comment about the T4 Kalied Sir
I haven’t had a pro controller since the elite 2 which I sold to a pawn shop after 2 months(stick drift) but that was in 2020 or so. Since then I just buy standard controllers with a Best Buy warranty, every 90 days give or take another $20 and a new controller but the one that lasted the longest was the lunar shift. Two days ago I traded in another one and opted for the TB ultra but of course not in stock so I’m controller-less until next week. I played a lot of great games in 2023 but I had the most fun probably with Lies of P so I gotta give it my goty. For 2024 I’m predicting my goty is more than likely going to black myth wukong but we’ll see how that turns out. Also I think hell blade 2 is going to fall short of expectations. As for stinker of 2024 suicide squad is gonna be hard to beat 😂. Great video love your content and that bit at the begging with the microphone was hilarious. Almost forgot my honorable mention Jedi survivor was plagued with issues but fun af
Is it worth the extra hassle to setup a Vader 3 Pro on a PS5 or should I just go with a HYPR custom build? (Been waiting for this vid for weeks! 😁)
Hypr custom. With most of the adapters you are limited to only PS4 games.
Scuf Envision is my favorite. It fits my hands perfectly and i love it as my main mmo controller. its op af. the software is a pain in the ass but the controller is great.
My pick is my 8bitdo Ultimate Wireless Bluetooth controller. I don't think it came out in 2023 but it's still competitive in 2023 to present. It's a pro controller for an affordable price. Can connect via wire with type c, 2.4ghz dongle and Bluetooth. It's perfect for me to use on the switch, pc and my android fone. I just love value buys and this is one of my fav purchases of 2023. I still get tempted to buy other pro controllers just because i like shiny new things but i dont. Realistically the 8bitdo ultimate Bluetooth is all i need.
Good choice
Where in the hell did you find that suit😂😂😂
On the wild plains of Amazon. Lol
Hey gamers heaven I have an Alienware r13 and for some reason on every game their is a massive deadzone I’ve tried different controllers, reinstalled windows and have done almost everything any solution to this weird issue
Hey buddy. 1st have you tried this video:
ruclips.net/video/wKWCCeKQSK0/видео.html
2nd: what game launcher do you mostly/always use?
@@GamerHeavenOfficial ya man I have tried everything in that video, And I play games like fornite, warzone, apex legends. Especially in Fortnite I have my deadzone on the lowest but it still feels so bad. (I use ps4 DualShock controllers)
Where do you put aim controller?
I still love aim, but they didn’t release any new products other than the snap plates this year
When are you going to do stealt ultra vs envision pro
Never. I've mentioned this in 2 videos now
The best controller shop ever in the world. Knowledge and friendly sharing information
Glad you think so!
what about the gamesir T4K for the best budget controller? fits every circle js like the g7 se but with extra features, so any particular difference or js matter of preference, and keep up the amazing videos!
Honestly thats a great controller, and I have heard the same question from a few people on this video. I am going to make a quick pinned post to explain why. Thank you my friend
I cant believe how the BigbigWon Rainbow 2 Pro controller is totally flying under the radar. I have or have tried all of the usual suspects when it comes to pro controllers and this thing has been my daily driver since I bought it 2 months ago. It's wayyyyy too good for the price.
It’s pretty rad, ohhhh I’ve used it alright
@@GamerHeavenOfficial Yeaaa buddy, I shall patiently await the review video
wheres the best hall effects for pc 😭
Every controller in the round up can be used on PC my friend.
yesir but im searching one that feels the same as ds4 or dualsense with hall effect.. i have gamesir g7 se however it feels lees tension, hollow empty idk@@GamerHeavenOfficial
I know I could look this up myself but is the Kane Robot in the Robocop game?!? And can you play as him or choose that robot model 😊
I actually don’t know
@@GamerHeavenOfficial that would be sick because to this day I don’t know a more bad ass, scarier robot 😁
Steam deck is a console we can call it that. The rog ally and legion go are hand held pcs out of the box
I really enjoyed this and agree with most of what you said however I haven’t played most of the games or used the tech you have but I currently own a aim controller however it was before the magnet face plates came in but I’ve been enjoying it since I purchased it
I’m glad to hear that man. Have a great new year
Damn, there are should be NAMES on subtitles or in tips or in the comments, whatever. Idk even how to google some stuff here :(
If the Edge had 4 paddles it would be a no brainer for me. I love the AIM controller I have, and the SCUF PS5 controller is also great as well. Can't recommend HYPR due to the insanely lengthy build times (2 months plus, and doesn't ship from the US).
The Edge just really needs HE sticks. Shocking it's still not HE.
@@BangSkeeet No doubt, however, atleast you can change the thumbstick modules effortlessly and don't have to send an entire controller back to fix stick drift. It's not perfect and you gotta spend money for a new module but it can be fixed in an instant.
@@SolidGoldoni Will those stock Edge modules provide that same level of sub-1% error performance like the HE sticks on a GameSir though?
@@BangSkeeet idk what that means hahaha.. if there's no drift I'm happy. If there's drift and I can fix it easily short of spending like 20 bucks, I'm also happy.
@@SolidGoldoni Quality HE sticks vs. not so great ones. Lower error % means more accurate and more consistent stick modules.
Love the videos.
So many controllers.... I want a ps5 style controller to play on the steam deck. hall effect joysticks and some nice back buttons. It seems like Hyper really fits the bill here but if the back buttons are just re-maps of the front buttons then can you use the back buttons for things like steam input? Like you can for back buttons on the steam deck? Does that even exist? lol
Call Kevin you always kill every single one of your videos my dude thanks for all your great content love watching your stuff so informative dude you're so smart like the way that you like put stuff in like your humor and then plus also the way that you look into all of the specs and everything and just figure everything out for us you do it and I don't have to and I'm thankful for that but I have to tell you one thing. Turn-based combat is amazing if you have any patience and like a thinkers brain like one of those like above and beyond like Bobby Fischer's like really smart... Some of us play video games for different reasons though and I understand your opinion I just don't understand it for me or the reality of it I just understand that the world is full of people that just need to go go go go go go like they're born with crack in their body and I just don't and will never understand how people can't sit and play a game like chess where its strategic and it takes time and everything like that like those old days aren't Dead they're very alive and very well it's just half the planet is like I'm on math and then half the planet is like I can be patient and use my brain
Hard choice... Gonna say Turtle Beach stealth ultra is best. However, Dualsense Edge is my favorite and I reach for the most.
That makes sense
Do the controllers control us?..or do we control them? Controllers control the game and we control them, are we the top controller of all time? Love the videos, controllers are tight.
I got the Vader 3 Pro because of your review and been using it for months now and I still feel like I stole from our local online seller for getting it below like 60$.
That is a steal. Great deal. Have a great new year
Schuf envision
Scuf envision ?
great video, you really have a lot to share, about the zelda game, they wanted to own the game formula because there is a small business called gatcha games making records, like, crazy ammounts of money, so yeah, nintendo is just all about that money OC
I'm sorry, but I'll argue for the edge for the controller of 2023, look at the sales figures, great video
It’s a great controller. You can vote for it in the community tab
No hall effect sticks - no competition
popular doesn't equate to best.
Sale figures 😂. Obviously the casual playstation users will pick the edge up ahead of any other modded controller. Just having 2 back paddles makes it almost useless
