Cuda, 8BitDo released an updated version of their Ultimate for Xbox, that now includes detachable cable and hall effect sticks.

[jacenchrisbaker]

All Gamesir has to do is make a 4 back button, clicky trigger, hall effect controller with their level of quality, and they immediately put a dent into the pro controller/custom controller market. That breaks the 'meta', and I think they will actually do it at some point.

[DennisxDaring]

Glad to see you get back to it. Please know that we want you to be great and we belive in you.

[Argosh]

Me not even owning an xbox or a ps, or even actually playing games with controllers still geeking out about your content 😂

[Nickentowd]

was not ready to watch cuda standing up

[minwktw]

Your review of the g7 se convinced me to get one and I couldn't be happier with it

[douglepong]

I bought the Gamesir T4 Kaleid because of you man. Nicest controller I ever used thanks to you.

[CheersToYou]

Too bad PS5 can't get this amount of love from you, Cuda, seeing that PS5 doesn't allow as many 3rd party controllers like Xbox does.

[Bruvv]

Love the videos met you a few years ago not sure if you still live in the neighborhood or not but your a cool dude

[deathabrahamism]

More than happy to be seeing these types of comparisons. Bonkers this video has been 3 years in the making! 👍

[nextggz]

I love my Gamesir G 7 SE. It has been the best controller I've ever used since the Razer wolverine TE. All recommended by you. Keep up the great work.

[xKHASx]

Great videos and vibes! The GameSir G7 has been my go-to since last year.

[misterspeed]

If you're playing on Windows 10, the Gamesir G7 SE can only go up to 500hz/2ms. To use 1000hz/1ms, you need Windows 11. I'm not sure about any other OS or the regular G7. I still highly recommend the G7 or G7 SE, depending on your preference. I'm using the SE on Windows 10, and I love it. Thanks for making these vids vCuda.

Yessssir glad to see you uploaded bro 👊🏾 hope you feeling a little better and remember WE ARE HERE FOR YOU !

Great video and keep talking to us, see you soon ! 👊🏾❤

[SonicCraft]

I'm curious about your thoughts on FlyDiGi controllers (Vader 3 Pro, Direwolf, Apex 3/4, etc.), do you have a video about those in the works?

[trickedsyco]

Bro said “the titanics customer service is faster” im crying 😂

[jamestoth]

You're the only one I found that actually made a video specifically for what I was searching for liked and subscribed

[tnep]

Just got the g7 se a couple days ago. Absolute game changer

[mvpgigasimpakaHoltzmen]

Yo bro thanks so much this’ll help me pick me budget pro controller. Cheers mate

[Triro]

Glad to see you back vCuda.

Also I don't know how long ago this was filmed. But I think Gulikit's KK3 should've made this list.
