Great review; I've already ordered one ahead of time before watching your video however I had a good feeling that this had all of the elements that I was seeking in a controller. Some of the others that I have tried and returned promptly have been:
8 bit do pro 2 (hall effect version): Wow was this controller a letdown; how it can be that my 5+ year old 8 bit do SN30 pro plus (previous version) has much smoother control and better precision is beyond me, but besides that the left trigger on this new pro 2 was already malfunctioning. I feel like the quality control on 8 bit do products have been slipping and I'm close to giving up on them in most cases.
Gamesir G7SE: This one was actually a really nice controller with an excellent left analog stick that needed no adjustments out of the box; it's wired only but that's actually my primary method for gaming. Only problem was that it was recognized as an Xbox One controller with no option to switch to a different mode, and as such for my usage it did not align well for button configurations, which is some cases there isn't a workaround. Face buttons were membrane and not mechanical but they still felt good and were responsive.
8 bit do ultimate: Average performance and had a problematic issue of dropping the signal when in XINPUT, and I was using it wired; the firmware update did not fix the issue either as indicated; nice interface with the ultimate software but kind of a mediocre feedback and product.
So I'm hoping that this one can provide the analog stick performance comparable with the Gamesir G7SE and also have better compatibility; the mechanical face buttons are a nice bonus and I'm looking forward to playing any of my three click golf games (wired of course) to determine the response times. Form factor looks good to me also, and a nice clean looking visual profile.
I have my fingers crossed that this is the controller for you, it is so frustrating when you do not feel at home with your input devices. Please let us know how you get on with this controller.
@@DumbDownTech I gave it a test run today with a few games that I use as benchmarks. The left analog stick is what I hoped it would be as in very smooth and stable and not twitchy feedback like I have noticed with lesser controllers. Face buttons are fine and respond well, but I'll have to test them out with a few more games in different situations. Analog triggers feel good so no complaints there. D-pad I think it depends on the genre of game; I do like how it is elevated and it has a lot of free movement, rather than feeling mashed in. The d pad is more than sufficient for 2D platformers, shmups, JRPG's, and probably most other 2D genres. 2D fighting games there would be better options like a Retrobit Genesis or Saturn pad; I did think that the Easy SMX did just fine with 3D fighters which are more focused on d-pad tapping instead of more frequent rotating circular motions, and of course most 3D fighters only require the four face buttons. There is probably only one notable thing that I find to be mediocre about this controller, is that I don't like the feel of the L/R buttons and also how they are placed doesn't really fit my hands all that well. All things considered though that drawback is a minor one and this controller is a keeper; hopefully it is durable. I don't really put much stress on controllers and also I have many models that get utilized for various purposes, which is probably why my old 8 bit do SN30 Pro Plus still functions like it has barely any miles on it.
Thank you so much for letting me know what you thought of this controller. I agree it's not perfect but I have never found any controller to be 100% perfect for every game, there will always be some compromises. I like you, hope this controller is durable as I hate chopping and changing controllers, once I'm comfortable with one, that's it I'm in for the long haul with it.
@@DumbDownTech Since I like this controller and was browsing other models from the same company I took a flier on a more budget option, the Easy SMX 9100pro. At 20 dollars it doesn't have the more premium build quality or mechanical buttons however I like the d pad and L/R buttons better and the triggers are more than satisfactory. Face buttons even though not mechanical have just as good of response time as the X10. Analog stick is not hall effect but the control level is very good and better than some controllers with hall-effect sticks, like the 8 bit do pro 2 for example. Just thought I'd mention this in the case you wanted a budget option as for 20 dollars it is very nice value for the asking price; it is a wired only controller which may be a deal breaker for some.
Shame its wired, but if I can scrounge one up definitely would like to do a review / comparison between the two. I am a firm believer that paying a fortune doesn't always mean your getting the best.
Is it safe to say that the only thing strictly better about the regular Xbox controller is that it connect through official means? Like for example directly to an xbox or the microsoft dongle for pc
Some people might prefer the feel of an Xbox controller, but yes direct connection is one plus but I would say to anybody if they can try other controllers they might find something that fits them better.
Built in battery is a plus. I need a new controller, and this looks like it is worth a try. I also like that it doesn't have an XBox button that is as bright as the sun.
How would you compare it with something that GameSir offers?
Gamsir controllers appear very similar, I have not tried one so I couldn't give a direct comparison unfortunately. Hopefully in the future I can do a follow up review with a number of other brands to see which comes out on top.
In my experience the only one that competes for the price is the gamesir g7 but it's wired. My favorite controller I've ever owned but I've been waiting for a wireless version. Maybe this is it.
Which game you played at 10:20?
That's a great little game called Circuit Superstars. Well worth a try.
@@DumbDownTech ok
Big hands here, so this a big no. I actually wish for a high quality controller with the big form factor of the first Xbox controller
This is what I am finding, one size fits all does not work with controllers. I wish you good luck on finding a controller that fits you perfectly.
