This controller is amazing, and I’ve been through pretty much all of the paces as far as controllers for Xbox goes. Elite Series 2, Scuf, Gamesir G7, modded original controllers, and even some PC controllers using an adapter. This beats ALL of them. The Elite Series 2 and Scuf are still the best for the “look and feel”, but as for the function, this controller is the best. The buttons are mechanical, which feel amazing to me. This difference means that instead of the button slowly depressing and then at some point making contact and giving input, a very specific amount of weight will make the button go down immediately, potentially giving you a tiny boost in reaction time. All of the buttons are mechanical, except for the home button, remappable buttons on the back, and the thumbstick buttons. Next, the thumbsticks and triggers. They are next level. The part you’re going to notice most is the thumbsticks, as you’ll be able to lower your dead zone in all games to zero or 1 without getting any drift. That is simply impossible on a normal thumbstick, since the standard margin of error for the dead zone of those style sticks is usually around 7%, meaning you’ll get drift in some direction anywhere under that number. Having no dead zone means every single tiny movement on the thumb stick is very accurate, allowing you to control recoil and aim better. Third, the look and feel of the controller is actually really good! As I said before, it doesn’t beat the Elite 2 or Scuf at all, but the clear plastic is surprisingly thick and has a quality feel. The mobo is on black PCB which looks nice. And the lights are an added touch, with a ton of customization, all the way down to making multiple color “phases” for one lighting profile so you can make all sorts of patterns and stuff. Overall, this controller is going to be the #1 all around controller in my books for a while, probably until Gamesir releases something else or maybe if Microsoft actually decides to make an Elite with hall affect sticks. We shall seeThere is, however, one critical flaw. On the current firmware, my controller sometimes turns my Xbox back on when I shut it down. It seems to happen intermittently so there may be a specific thing I’m doing that I’m not aware of, but that means it could probably happen to you too. The only way to stop this loop is by unplugging the controller. Furthermore, when the console is successfully turned off, the controller won’t wake the console up from sleep unless you plug it in. Pretty annoying but a price I’m willing to pay for a great controller. I’m hoping this could be fixed with a firmware update, but we’ll have to see.

First, I should say that I'm not a gamer, but since my son got me addicted to Rocket League, I needed a controller to use that is better than the Switch Joy-Cons. I first bought a different cheap controller, and that worked well. When the Switch had to go in for repairs, I tried using it with a PC, but it only had Bluetooth, so had to be tethered via USB, and it suffered from disconnection problems, usually at the worst time during a game. Then I found this GameSir T4 pro controller, which had good reviews and could go wireless with a PC, so I decided to try it out.It worked great with the PC, using the 2.4Ghz dongle! When we got the Switch back, I tried it with that, and that worked great as well, using the Bluetooth connection. The overall quality of the controller is also better than my old one; it has smooth throttle triggers instead of the clicky ones, and better joysticks, which allows me to have finer control over my gameplay. I found I improved my play just by switching controllers, because I was able to more consistently hit shots that I would normally miss.A few points I should note:- This controller uses different button combinations to pair with the 2.4Ghz dongle vs. pairing with Switch, which are also different than than pressing the L R buttons like other controllers. Not a big deal, but something you have to remember if you switch it between devices.- The position of the A+B, X+Y buttons are typical for a PC controller, but it adapts to the standard Switch layout when paired to a Switch, so A becomes B, X becomes Y, and vice versa. On one hand, this is good for Switch users, except now you can't go just by the letters on the buttons. On the other hand, if you play the same game on Switch and PC, and you developed muscle memory and want to keep the same layout on both platforms, you will probably have to remap the buttons in software. (Easy to do in Rocket League.)- The bottom switches are pretty easy to press accidentally; it takes a little while to get used to it so you don't accidentally press them.- The battery lasts a surprisingly long time.Overall, really happy with the quality and capability of this controller.
