5.0 out of 5 stars Hall Effect, Low latency, Very customizable.

A.C. · June 2, 2024

I had two basic requirements. One, have hall effect sensors (for at least the joysticks.) And two, have low latency via USB. Gamepadla shows this controller as one of the fastest USB gaming controllers and so I had to check this one out. I didn't care too much about wireless options because I prefer to play competitively with wired controllers. Customization and calibration via the T4K app from the Microsoft Store is very intuitive, useful, but not required. A lot of the basic customizations and calibrations can be changed via specific button combinations shown in the user manual. But using the app allows you to change the controllers default 250Hz polling rate and bump it up to 500Hz or 1000Hz.I uploaded screenshots of some of the results from Hardware Tester and Gamepadla for reference. Pleasantly surprised how well this controller performs. Gamepadla latency tests speak for itself. Hardware Tester shows the joysticks at an almost perfect zero while at rest. (Try getting a value that close to zero with a brand new Dualsense Edge or Xbox Elite.) When using the default joystick settings (RAW mode disabled), the circularity is almost perfect with a 0.4% error reading. But this makes some games that don't benefit from perfect circularity harder to play, such as Rocket League and possibly some fighting games. Raw mode enabled allows the controller to get a more square deadzone.While the controller doesn't have a premium feel like the Xbox Elite Controller, what makes up for that is the clicky tactile buttons, hall-effect joysticks/triggers, and customizability. Holding the controller did take a little getting used to and did not feel quite right at first compared ot the Xbox Series or Dualsense controllers. But it is starting to feel more natural after using for a few hours. Other than that, this controller is well worth the $40. Would probably have paid a little more than that if I was able to purchase it in store.

5.0 out of 5 stars One of the best controllers I’ve ever used, with a few very small issues

This controller is amazing, and I’ve been through pretty much all of the paces as far as controllers for Xbox goes. Elite Series 2, Scuf, Gamesir G7, modded original controllers, and even some PC controllers using an adapter. This beats ALL of them. The Elite Series 2 and Scuf are still the best for the “look and feel”, but as for the function, this controller is the best. The buttons are mechanical, which feel amazing to me. This difference means that instead of the button slowly depressing and then at some point making contact and giving input, a very specific amount of weight will make the button go down immediately, potentially giving you a tiny boost in reaction time. All of the buttons are mechanical, except for the home button, remappable buttons on the back, and the thumbstick buttons. Next, the thumbsticks and triggers. They are next level. The part you’re going to notice most is the thumbsticks, as you’ll be able to lower your dead zone in all games to zero or 1 without getting any drift. That is simply impossible on a normal thumbstick, since the standard margin of error for the dead zone of those style sticks is usually around 7%, meaning you’ll get drift in some direction anywhere under that number. Having no dead zone means every single tiny movement on the thumb stick is very accurate, allowing you to control recoil and aim better. Third, the look and feel of the controller is actually really good! As I said before, it doesn’t beat the Elite 2 or Scuf at all, but the clear plastic is surprisingly thick and has a quality feel. The mobo is on black PCB which looks nice. And the lights are an added touch, with a ton of customization, all the way down to making multiple color “phases” for one lighting profile so you can make all sorts of patterns and stuff. Overall, this controller is going to be the #1 all around controller in my books for a while, probably until Gamesir releases something else or maybe if Microsoft actually decides to make an Elite with hall affect sticks. We shall seeThere is, however, one critical flaw. On the current firmware, my controller sometimes turns my Xbox back on when I shut it down. It seems to happen intermittently so there may be a specific thing I’m doing that I’m not aware of, but that means it could probably happen to you too. The only way to stop this loop is by unplugging the controller. Furthermore, when the console is successfully turned off, the controller won’t wake the console up from sleep unless you plug it in. Pretty annoying but a price I’m willing to pay for a great controller. I’m hoping this could be fixed with a firmware update, but we’ll have to see.

Muy bueno

Review from a gamer

N.M. · May 31, 2024

This is my first review so be nice lolGot this controller today. Gamed all day with it. Before buying it i had lots of questions but no vidéos or comments answered them so ill do it here. I play on xbox btwIt has almost the exact shape as the xbox controller. Triggers are very smooth, abxy buttons too. The thumbstricks are very very responsive and overall the controller feels very solid. It takes some getting use too since ive been playing with microsoft xbox controller for years. The feel isnt the same, but im not saying that as a bad thing. Everything is customisable on the app on xbox. I had a small issue with the trigger not registering once but it was on instant trigger so might be bit buggyOverall, id say if you dont mind the wire, its a very good buy for the price. 4.5

Great bang for the buck Hall effect / mechanical controller

I think this is the cheapest hall effect controller you can get on Bolo. Bonus with the mechanical face buttons, the clicks are so satisfying and it's good to know it'll last longer than normal membrane buttons. Goes well with my mech keyboard. The controller has heft and the build quality is great. Love that it has 2 extra mappable buttons under the controller, useful for fighting games or racing games where you up/down shift. RGB lighting can be a turnoff for some, but I like it, goes well with my RGB set up. Windows detects it's an xbox controller, and I have yet to test it with switch games on the PC. But I hope it works.

Excelente custo benefício

Chegou em 19 dias corrido pra mim no interior de SP, o controle é bonito e bem construído, ele é muito leve, os analógicos são muito precisos mas eu não sei se realmente ele tem uma durabilidade elevada, comprei pra jogar warzone e em alguns momentos principalmente nos menus da pra perceber o analógico com um movimento muito sensível às vezes fica até difícil controlar e tenho que usar o d pad, e isso me deixa receoso quanto a durabilidade, pode ser o fato dele ter uma zona morta bem baixa o que deixa ele bem sensível mas no game em si ele se mostra absurdamente preciso até o momento, os botões de trás são quase inúteis pra ser sincero eles são muito mal posicionados eu tenho o elite series 2 que tem excelentes paddles e péssimos analógicos e esse é o oposto os botões traseiros dependendo da pegada e do tamanho da mão mais atrapalha do que ajuda, os botões normais eu não curti tanto, talvez o g7 se que é membrana seja até mais confortável o micro switch desse t4 pra quem joga claw e deixa o dedo mais próximo dos botões vc aciona ele meio sem querer pq ele é mole e não retorna bem fica meio que pressionado sei lá não é bom igual o original do Xbox, os gatilhos são bons no modo normal mas no modo rápido é horrível pq qualquer oscilação no botão ele desarma ou seja se estiver atirando e vc diminuir a força da pressão do dedo ele entende que vc tirou o dedo e para, já no modo normal ele é muito bom, no geral ele é muito bom comparando com o elite series 2 que é um controle premium ele só perde na questão dos botões traseiros que são mal posicionados em relação aos analógicos ele ganha fácil os botões normais é parecido, espero muito que ele dure bastante fiquei feliz com a compra e recomendo principalmente pelo preço. (Agora quero testar o g7 se que tem compatibilidade com o Xbox)
