This is the ULTIMATE showdown of game controllers that we missed in our last video; we’ve got over 20 remotes and we’re trying to find which is THE BEST! What has the lowest input latency? Which has key features like Hall Effect Sticks and Triggers? Which feels comfiest? Which is the best for the budget? We’re covering it all, and including a handy tier list.

Dave pick is goated
Yeah I could see this guy blackmailing people
I am the opposite. I really dislike the wide shape of e.g. the xbox controller. The 8BitDo one is closer to the Switch Pro-Controller which is my fav shape.
Now do one with playstation layout controllers please 🙏
Why no circuit board foliage for the PS5 controller ? Having the same skin for console and controller would be nice
meanwhile that easysmx in my country is 80 dollars 🙁
No love for Gulitkit?
13:36 my brain actually broke watching that HAHAHAHA. that is so cool!
Help! I need a new Xbox style controller for PC that costs less than an Xbox Controller and is built to last, particularly the sticks! It also need Wi-Fi and a long lasting rechargeable battery. PLEASE recommend me something and if possibly tell me where to order it in the UK, but that's not essential because I can probs find it myself. REALWORLD long term use recommendations only because of the long lasting sticks and battery please and thank you very much!
easysmx was my first controller. I had their old wireless model for 20$ and lasted for 3 years. Looks like they have improved with their recent models.
Hmmmm… It is time I retire my trusty & excessively well used xBox 360 controller… So this video went up at a good time.
I'm still using the OG black wired Xbox 360 controller, but some time ago I noticed I'm using it less and less because of the input latency. and I didn't bother until now to search for a new one because I was afraid of the price (10 years ago the Xbox one controller was 70$ and it was kind of shit and unreliable).
I'm very much surprised that in this day and age of unchecked inflation and enshittification, game controllers actually seem to be getting better AND cheaper. 10 years ago, a 30$ controller was pretty much E-waste you bought for your little brother to destroy.
after watching this video, I bought both the EasySMX X20 and 8BitDo Ultimate 2C. I Would have gotten the Apex 4 Pro, but for the life of me I can't find a single (trustworthy) seller who ships to my country.
why no game sir g7/g7se
I picked up the Vader 4 Pro and it's easily the best controller I've ever used. While there are quite a few I haven't used in this video, I have used a solid number of them, and the V4P wins out above all of them in my experience. I've not used the Apex 4, but at half the price, the V4P is incredible — and its D-pad is excellent, so it makes me wonder how the D-pad on the Apex 4 is different such that it's deemed to be bad.
I'd put every of these straight into F tier😂
wow, why the dunk on the razer……
Hi, I miss test the control pad on classic street fighter games, if you dont get a easy hadouken the control pad is not good
Hahaha I had no idea this market even existed. I'm still to this day rocking a wired X360 white controller. It's working perfectly and the wire is super long. Xbox 360 controller for life !
Too long to get what you want: Buy Flydigy Vader 4 pro, that's the best P/P controller right now. If you got a bit redundant money, apex 4 also worth
Linus: you're in for some big surprises… LIKE THE SPONSOR OF OUR VIDEO
Didn't happen 🙁
So happy to see my opinion of fly digi controllers confirmed in the video and comments here. 3rd party controllers in general have come a really long way in just the last couple years. I still remember looking tirelessly for ANY controller with hall effect sticks and rear paddles, not more than 3 or 4 years ago. Now its pretty much standard.
Im surpriesed there is no Guilikid king kong 2 in there
Nah, I'm good. My Hall-swapped Dualsense has been really great
Cyclone 2 is a great controller
