THE RIVAL PS5 CONTROLLER | Hex Gaming Review

Hex Gaming controllers offers 2 and 4 paddles builds for PS5, XBSX and PS4. This Rival controller with two back paddles is surprisingly well made. Every Hex Gaming controller comes standard with fully modular thumb sticks and the back paddle setup. In this build we went all out on customization, even trying out their fast shot digital press hair triggers and they didn't disappoint. There was no shortage of aesthetic customization options and the controller is beautiful. These controllers are real contenders, using quality parts and superior design in their builds. Also have to appreciate that their builds are readily available on Amazon. Definitely looking forward to checking out there Ultimate build with 4 back paddles. I make absolutely nothing off of any purchases made and have no discount codes for you guys. If you enjoy straight forward no BS reviews then please subscribe to the channel and like the video!

Overall a pretty solid experience with this 2 paddle build. Easy remapping, quality components used and a solid design. True that these builds don't touch some levels of customization that I'm accustomed to from Battle Beaver but I still think they get the job done. Looking forward to checking out the 4 back paddle build and their XBSX controllers! Stay awesome everyone 👏

Bro we missed you and I'm glad you're back. I own both The Hex Rival and the Ultimate Controllers and they're both Amazing. The delivery time is amazing considering it's made overseas and the back buttons are new to me but I got used to them very easily. I have the rubber and it textile grip also and they're both great

3:58 They're durable but at some point, they'll break, and that happened to me. The paddles were unusable at that point.
I think ExtremeRate/Hex Gaming is aware of this and the released an accessory which is, metal paddles. I tried them and they gave my controller a 2nd life
Overall I recommend this controller.

Nice video dude! Now I have to watch all your PS5 controller videos cause this video inspired me to get an Elite Controller for my PS5. 😀 Thank you for making this man 👍🏼

[chrisrocha]

I add the back paddels to my Standard PS5 controler and are really really good, i use the metal back paddles

[PrdigyZRX]

Tbh I got a scuf reflex and I love the new back paddle layout for the ps5 controller ... but definitely a great revision. You should definitely do a review of the scuf reflex

[Outrageon]

Would've loved to had heard his thoughts on dual sense edge

Evil Controllers has the best warranty. PERIOD. Free 12 months and an 18 & 24 month that cover thumbstick drift. Battle Beaver charges $30 for 90 days.

Saw you uploaded super late last night so had to crash but was hyped to watch the video! Turned out to be an awesome vid as always appreciate you covering this company I have never heard of them!

[ParadoxEP]

anyone know if this dude is okay or what happened?? really liked his reviews

[themovementgeneration]

Always a good time when you post. Should be posting more

[johnsharkey]

Great vid as always Boss glad to see you drop another vid hope you have been keeping well 🐻

[loganalvarez]

Awesome video! Glad to see you're back to reviewing controllers. You should do a review on the new scuf reflex controller too!

[dulappen]

What I want is someone to make a new design in terms of ergonomics. The dualsense makes my hands hurt and cramp up. Still annoyed we can't just use our old controllers. Would love to be able to use my scuf impact.

I prefer to just make it myself like I did with my PS4 controller with the extreme rate dawn remap kit. It's cheaper and kinda fun to do (at least for me) and when something goes wrong I can usually identify the problem, buy a part if needed, and fix it myself

[stephenpurvis]

Those back paddles remind me a lot of the ds4 back button attachment. Love the placement of them. Such a nice looking controller though

[WhiteShade]

Dude it’s such a BEAUTIFUL build! Wow! That is a sexy controller. Great reviews as always. If I were to go back to controller (not likely) I would hands down get an elite from any of these companies. That paddle design is pretty good, never seen that before. Love the curve fitting the controller. I’d be curious to see how the interchangeable sticks hold up. Over time I know the plastic connectors can weaken and snap.

[zaneharris]

So I have the remap kit in mine for about a year now. The kit and controller were made really well...except for my paddles. For some reason my right button/paddle broke due to the plastic paddle breaking where the pin holds it in place to the board after 7 months and fully broke off recently. Personally I'd prefer if the paddles were metal or stronger plastic but overall great to use online

no videos in 8 months airbear, whats goin on mayne

[wunones]

Do a review on the new Gulikit Kingking 2 pro! They made their own analog stick with [NO DRIFT].
