Title: Almost as good as the Wolverine Ultimate, 10x better than the V2 Chroma
Review: Review based mainly on Rocket League play.tl;dr at the bottomI took the dive into pro controllers last year with the brilliant Wolverine Ultimate Edition. The only issue really was stick drift. I sent it back and they replaced it with the Wolverine V2 Chroma as the UE was out of production (despite it still being sold in stores?).My word I hated the V2. The ABXY buttons were a mix between membrane and mechanical, the sticks were too soft in tension and were only held in place by magnets resulting in very subtle, but noticeable stick movement gliding across the magnets, which ruined the experience coming from the UE.So I gave them away and bought the Thrustmaster hoping for something similar to the UE, and found it.The ABXY buttons are mechanical and clicky, and are flat instead of domed which I actually prefer. Very reminiscent of the UE.The thumbsticks are screwed in place, so you have to unscrew them to swap. While some people might find this cumbersome, it holds the sticks in place firmly. The tension isn’t variable, but it’s slightly stiffer than the V2 in my opinion, as I don’t have a V2 next to me to compare directly.The convex thumbsticks are flatter than the V2, and also have a nice rim (heh) to them so when you’re maxed out in a direction it minimises thumb slip (more on this).The braided cable is high quality, not much else to say.I’m neutral on the back buttons. My hands are fairly large, and my ring fingers on both hands can reach the back buttons easily. I’ve seen videos of people complaining that the back buttons are hard to reach, but they’re using their ring AND little fingers to cover all 4 buttons. This isn’t how they’re meant to be used. Much like using your thumb to hit 4 buttons, ABYX, the back buttons are meant to be used by your ring fingers. If you have small hands, you will struggle with this controller and the back buttons.Lack of RGB is also a neutral point for me, as I’m never looking at my controller when I’m playing, and given the cost, I don’t display my controllers and put them back in their box/case after use.Now, the cons.The Wolverine UE/Chroma V2 had 2 extra shoulder buttons/bumpers which is a genius idea, as the index fingers have access to 2 extra buttons (bound to face buttons)) without having to move. Thrustmaster hasn’t implemented this in their design despite having the space for it. During my time of play, I have noticed that these buttons aren’t there, but I haven’t missed it too much. It would be a nice addition, though, if they ever upgrade.This is a very slight niggle, but it’s because of how I grip the controller. My hands get sweaty, and the plastic sides don’t help, so my hands do slip sometimes. I end up gripping the controller a little tight on the right side, and the panel does move ever so slightly. It doesn’t come off, but I feel a tiny click sometimes, but that just tells me I need to reposition my hand and it stops.The thumbsticks, while they feel good and perform well, my thumbs do slip off the sticks, albeit rarely. I’ll quickly wipe the thumbsticks with my tshirt and my thumbs on my jeans and I’m good to go.Also, get the warranty. I did have issues with my first one, and Amazon sent out a replacement straight away. It’s £20, who cares.tl;dr very, very close to the Wolverine UE in quality, some niggles, but so much better than the V2 Chroma.

Title: Don’t bother buying this
Review: Before you buy this particular controller and spend hours and hours on the Xbox, buy another 50 spare sticks as the sticks wear out around every 2 months, stick drift is terrible even after using a bespoke app to resolve it, the issue comes back. We got fed up buying replacement sticks so went back to a Microsoft controller, still working fine months later.

Title: Good controller but got stick drift after a few months of use. Back buttons are not great either
Review: The controller is high quality, very nice face buttons and although the paint started to wear off after about 3-4 months of moderate use. Comes with two pairs of analog sticks (concaved and domed), which is nice. The cable is unfortunately micro usb but there is a deep indent on the controller for the cable to plug into which makes it really secure and it makes the cable unlikely to break. There is a software for customising dead zones and the back buttons which is easy to use and gives a lot of options. I like the size and shape of the controller but it is on the bigger size so it might not be suitable for anyone with smaller hands, especially if your planning to use the back buttons which are really badly designed and are difficult to reach. You can’t really use the top pair of back buttons as your fingers almost always slip and hit the bottom buttons, so I have just been using the bottoms ones as they have slightly better grip. One of my biggest complaints about the controller is that the sticks started drifting after only a few months. I don’t know if I just got unlucky or if they designed the sticks to fail quickly so you have to keep buying replacement sticks which are not that cheap. Over all its a good controller but the back buttons are almost unusable and the replaceable sticks start to drift

Title: So good until it isn’t!
Review: I use this controller mainly for rocket league – came from an e swap s after 3 that all failed :(.The x pro is near perfect imo – the sticks are so good. The bumper buttons seem to be a lottery of durability. I would trade the bumpers to be the soft mashable style button (like a DS4) rather than the mouse button like click if it meant that they we’re more reliable but hey ho …. thrustmaster if you’re listening, please release a refresh of this minus the issues.So a great buy but either make sure you buy extended warranty or buy from a great seller like amazon that actually support their customers!

Title: Too expensive
Review: Nice Joypad didn’t have a problem with it, it worked great, the detachable modules are nice, but when you see how much a replacement cost, everything for this joypad feels like a cash grab, the buttons underneath are kind of hard to use as they are in a rubbish position, I also think for what it is I think its way too much money for a joypad.

Review: Es un gran control, en tamaño y funcionalidad. Es muy cómodo y llamativo el qué puedas modificar las partes a conveniencia. Para mi es perfecto para poder usarlo con configuración de playstation ya que jamás me ha agradado la de xbox especialmente para FPSs. La desventaja es el tamaño ya qué no entra en estuches convencionales y es alambrado estrictamente. Si eres de mano grande, ejemplo, te acomoda el tamaño de un dualsense, este te será muy útil. Recomendado.

Review: Excelente produto, joguei por muito tempo com o controle elite series 2, me atrevo a dizer que está no mesmo nível, quiça melhor. Pra que não tem problema de o controle ser com fio, então creio ser uma excelente escolha. Poder trocar os analógicos sem tem que abrir o controle é muito bom quando precisa resolver problema de drift que infelizmente é o mal dos controles. Enfim, to satisfeito. Ah, a foto já está com o up grade dos acessórios que comprei azul, mas os originais são pretos.
