Great video. You are probably one of the few controller channels that have honest reviews. Most other controller channels are basically just free marketing channels for controller companies. With no proper critics of their products. That is why i almost only watch this channel for controller videoes. Keep it up!

If you’re getting the fusion for the paddles, don’t. Had 2 different controllers that stopped working within two months. They don’t offer replacements parts. Also the trigger stops break easily. Note: my paddles were assigned to build and edit on fortnite so it was VERY frequent use.

ive used the powerA fusion for 9 months now. its held up great. no problems with it, of course stuff like the D pad and other things could be improved but for the 60$ price i got it at it’s amazing

[Solder_king]

Your editing is so smooth. Worth the wait for sure!

The Gambit is hands down the best controller I’ve used. Been using mine for nearly 2 years now and have not faced any major issues. Yes of course there’s stick drift but from my experience the controller is super easy to take apart and I’ve switched out the potentiometers on both sticks one time. That’s like a $1 fix for 2 years of use, compared to my previous power a controller where the cheap plastic paddles broke in under 2 months

[hiKidz]

omg, this is the comparison i need… i watched your other videos, but didnt get the direct comparison, i am so happy thanks for the video!

I've had the victrix gambit for 6 months now. So far it looks good, but it may have a problem, if you use the buttons a lot everyday, the plastic paddles have these sticks that poke out to press the little buttons on the controller, these can wear down the actual buttons over time, I took them off to find plastic shavings underneath, probably only have about 4 more months in it.

Your the funniest controller reviewer I love your videos I laugh alot

[jamief]

I like the gambit, but it’s unreliable, I got stick drift within 2 months. Customer service were good and they sent a replacement, but after 6 months the LB button went. I ended up getting the thrustmaster e-swap S, but the thumb sticks that came with it, went pretty quick as well. In all pro controllers are pretty poor atm, the best one I had was the Razor wolverine tournament addition (original), as it lasted 14 months, but the replacement versions don’t have back buttons or look crap.

Have had the gambit for about 1.9 years now, definitely my favorite controller so far as far as simplicity and reliability (price). For reference I have been through the Wolverine te and LOVED that until a piece of the plastic on the M1 button broke. I consistently play Rocket League with my gambit and have had any issues thus far.

[Hazintv]

Always looking forward to your videos brother. Always entertaining

[xMoulah]

As the owner of the three gambits (only paid for one) I can vouch for it as long as your batch is after the first couple runs. I also use the four button attachment fine so don't just right that off as Cuda suggests. The reason i own 3 is because my first one had an issue where the left stick actuated the right stick. Made a claim and the sent me two replacements (don't think they meant to).

[nHench_]

The fusion pro 3 is out and has fixed the paddle issues

[xccelerant]

You need to upload more. I just found your channel and absolutely love your content.

[PCinho]

One question. I just got a brand new Razer Wolverine Ultimate. I tested its circularity right out of the box and both sticks are over 12% average error. Is that normal?
I have been using a dualshock for 3 years and it has 7% average error on the right stick. I really feel the difference while in game, especially while ADS. It feels like I have my sensitivity really high.
Before hand, thank you!

[MrBeavis]

Cool video, you always have valuable information. I look forward to the upcoming videos, keep up the good work man and try to not beat yourself up so much, your doing great in these videos.

[chicosuave]

Great video Cuda! Hope you had a great Xmas

[grandpagibz]

I have tried a shit load of controllers and tbh the 8bitdo ultimate Bluetooth has outlasted any other controller including both elites. No stick drift and 2 buttons on the back. A charging dock. And the app saves to the firmware so the app doesn't need to be running once you save. Best value of anything. Has been great for cod, xdefiant, and anything else I've thrown at it. But the only thing it's bad at is driving games because it's full throttle or nothing.

[connorloughlin]

Is there an actual controller that you'd recommend for fps shooters (with paddles/buttons) that would be the most reliable controller? As in, best reputable controller, I just want something thats not gonna crap out every other month from stick drift after paying 100-200 for a controller. From what I've seen the ones with better reputate (battlee beaver, aim) have a much lower warranty period which kinda sucks. Is it worth just getting the elite series 2 and getting the 3 year warranty? at least that way they can just replace it every time

[shadow_ninja]

I've had the victrix gambit for 2 months and it's still in perfect condition and compared to the elite 2 witch I had for like 1 month and it got the worst drift ever I think it's doing really good
