Hall effect sensors should be the norm for newly released controllers, much more reliable, better accuracy and prevents e-waste.

Definitely gonna have to try this. It's infuriating how all the other controllers are designed to quickly wear out so you have to buy more.

Every Console controller should’ve already been using Hall effect sticks without question as these are billion dollar corporations knowingly using defective sticks and they’ve been doing it for years and what’s sad is the Sega Dreamcast already had these Hall effect sensors almost 30 years ago when everything was made to last

Till PS3 and XBOX 360 times I never had issue with stick drift. Sticks get broken replaced everything else but never a stick drift. PS4 and Xbox One era started this crazy stick drift phenomena.

Went into my archives and found my 1st ps 1 and 1st ps 2 controllers, , still work as new no stick deift, no drifting or weird deadzones.. 😉 They don't make em like thwy used too..

I've been using Hyperkin's new Xenon 360 controller since its release and have not experienced any stick drift. I absolutely love this controller, almost an exact replica of the old school 360 controller.

Built in deadzones are the reason the thumbsticks performed so well. You gotta put the thumbsticks in raw mode on the software to get the actual accurate results

Hey great video. The G7se has built in deadzones which needs to be disabled through the nexus software. Once disabled and the raw mode enabled, the sticks will show resting position like the standard, also the error rate will be around 10% instead of .5%. In my review I found them to work best in raw mode and a lot of commenters agreed. I personally never had stick drift in 20years(so so lucky) I did, however, have had issues with bumpers and buttons.

Controllers with hall effect joysticks should be the standard for the next generation of consoles. Instead of adding all the haptic feedback features on the dualsense (they're cool, but they aren't priority number 1), Sony should've put hall effect joysticks in them

[dana_padrino]

This video and many like it are completely misleading. The reason the gamesir has such great numbers with that tester is that by default the gamesir has a 5 point dead zone and the circularity is set through software adjustments. To actually test the gamesir correctly, you have to change the stick inputs to “raw” and remove the dead zone adjustments in the gamesir software. if you do that it’s still a great controller and often better than stock Xbox but not by the numbers shown in this video. I still think this is the best controller you can get for a reasonable price ( and has Hall effect sticks!). it’s a great controller I’m not knocking it. I just don’t like being misled.

Love this. Racing pedals switched away from Hall sensors years ago!

Ordered one of these yesterday for my birthday. Can’t wait to get my hands on it! I’m currently using a stock Xbox Series controller from Microsoft and it’s my fourth controller I believe. I’ve had issues with stick drift and my current controller likes to disconnect because the usb c cable is not very secure and has a lot of play. I was going to get an elite series 2 core controller but discovered this, so excited to get it 😊

One thing I’ve noticed with these cheaper controllers is an issue with audio quality output through the mic. How does it hold up in that regard? Does your voice sound as clear to other players compared to the default Xbox controller?

[voidmantis]

loved it so far, cant comment on the dirability yet . I love how the cable fit in in the hole so the plastic protect the plug, my last controler fall on the ground and the cable plug break inside the controler . I assume its not gona happen with this one .

Just bought this controller because my Scuf decided to crap out. The sticks on this $45 controller feel better than any other controller I’ve ever used.

I don’t need four back buttons/paddles - even when I have them I only use two.

This controller definitely punches above its weight, and I’ll definitely be holding on to this for a while until I’m ready to buy another SCUF controller.

Ive been looking at this controller constantly for almost 2 weeks, finally decided to buy one today with Kontrolfreek FPS Galaxy white Thumbsticks. Thank you for this video and imma sub to you man. Keep making these fanatics video

I have the G7 SE. What a huge difference it has in the way the sticks feel. Way smoother than my Xbox controllers.

Bought this yesterday and it arrived yesterday. I play on pc and have been using DS4s with the sony back button and decided to give this a try because the DS4 is still $60-65 haven’t tried it yet but from the reviews Ive watched, the latency is good, the stick drift can happen but takes a while and hardly noticeable. And the smaller feel in my hand and the longer handles feel better for my smaller hands and the buttons sit right where my middle fingers rest. Problem is im used to my paddles or buttons being used by my ring finger so it’ll be frustrating re-learning that. But im going to be plugging it in here in a couple hours and getting it set up. I’ve heard of people having problems with it disconnecting and reconnecting during games but that seemed to be a small handful of people. If this thing feels good it will be the best controller made for its price.

Just ordered this controller i can't wait to aim assist kids in Apex legends

[gaigerodriguez]

Thank you very much I've been looking for a video like this so I can use the back buttons
