to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":195.76,"end_s":202.48,"text":"for example i've got a first generation elite controller here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":199.76,"end_s":207.92,"text":"and compared to this it is very obviously designed for someone

can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":209.36,"end_s":215.84,"text":"see this is a larger controller and one of the key features is

at","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":217.519,"end_s":222.72,"text":"this if i'm holding this in a comfortable position where i can actually reach the menu buttons on

i","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":237.04,"end_s":243.519,"text":"don't think you're going to be finding those that useful as for the feel of the rest of

can","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":245.28,"end_s":254.159,"text":"really hear that sound really like the feel of those

either","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":278.56,"end_s":283.04,"text":"there you go flip this switch right here and put it in like kind of a hair","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":281.919,"end_s":286.479,"text":"trigger mode or you can flip it back to the regular","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":285.36,"end_s":290.479,"text":"position and unlock the full travel the idea here","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":288.639,"end_s":294.72,"text":"being that if you're playing a shooter or something like that you want a shorter travel so that it

immediately","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":304.639,"end_s":309.68,"text":"but we'll see we're going to fire up some games here before we do that though i","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":308.32,"end_s":315.919,"text":"should probably have a look at the rest of the accessories that are included in the

a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":323.44,"end_s":330.32,"text":"rubber o-ring to keep it from accidentally slipping off while you're playing it would

the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":332.96,"end_s":337.44,"text":"convex top it's got the same really nice","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":336.08,"end_s":340.639,"text":"feeling

new uh","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":344.24,"end_s":349.759,"text":"a new module so it only comes with the concave one that's the default so what","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":348.16,"end_s":355.84,"text":"that means is if these are actually your preference you're probably going to have to buy them separately","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":352.56,"end_s":358.319,"text":"cable suitably adequate","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":355.84,"end_s":362.88,"text":"carrying bag there's a phillips head screwdriver with a","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":360.08,"end_s":365.68,"text":"pokey thing oh interesting i think i figured this out","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":363.759,"end_s":370.4,"text":"so you put that in there and pop out the module","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":367.28,"end_s":373.759,"text":"and then if you wanted to swap out","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":370.4,"end_s":375.759,"text":"say for example uh oops","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":373.759,"end_s":380.8,"text":"you got a lefty loose seat there you go if you wanted to","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":377.44,"end_s":383.44,"text":"swap out a trigger then you could do","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":380.8,"end_s":387.919,"text":"that as well those are swappable too neat this is why","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":386.319,"end_s":392.0,"text":"it's always fun to unbox things when you haven't actually like","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":389.84,"end_s":396.8,"text":"done any research on the product i get to discover the features with you","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":394.639,"end_s":400.8,"text":"okay well that's cool personally i would like something more grippy here so","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":398.479,"end_s":405.84,"text":"maybe that's an accessory that they sell my","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":401.52,"end_s":408.56,"text":"lord this thing is expensive hot diggity","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":405.84,"end_s":412.08,"text":"definitely feels premium like it's this is a first gen elite controller by the","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":410.08,"end_s":418.08,"text":"way but it definitely feels more rigid in spite of being larger","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":414.08,"end_s":420.4,"text":"but wow it ain't cheap","speaker":null,"is_sponsor":0},{"start_s":418.08,"end_s":426.639,"text":"and it's not even

has caught my eye like the thrustmaster e-swap x pro controller and maybe i'm just getting you know caught up in the xbox series x series s hype but this thing looks pretty freaking sweet compared to their last generation model it's got upgraded analog sticks which supposedly have better like resistance sort of whatever that means that better physical resistance improved re-centering positioning and double the lifespan so uh we'll get to that in a second first things first you got your quick start guide a little thing for their thrust mapper so this is their software that allows you to set up profiles you can remap the buttons to the ones on the back on the fly so you're not required to use the software but hey it's an option if you want it and then of course one of the big features of this guy is the modular uh there we go modular analog sticks and d-pad sort of pieces here so what this allows you to do is set up more like a we go dual shock style two analog sticks here d-pad over here or i mean i guess if you were like you know totally demented you could put uh a d-pad over here and then two analog sticks over here and given that you can actually buy additional modules i don't think anything would prevent you from done oh yeah of course if we're gonna cover a modular controller we gotta we gotta get a get a module here you could even go three analog sticks if you really wanted to so this is the sx nxg so nxg i think is next gen mini stick module and it comes with a whole lot of nothing while theoretically you could get modules with different characteristics there's nothing on here that indicates that that's the case um but for whatever reason this one has a different part number than the ones that were included i mean i have seen that before where there's different part numbers for like the replacement one versus the one that comes with it i don't know i don't understand why that's necessary but it seems like that might be the case here there you go the the three analog stick it's like having a third nipple it's like there's nothing wrong with it it's just not the usual uh configuration that's all initial impressions actually d-pad feels pretty darn good like if i was playing a retro platformer or something like that i could get very comfortable with this i like the ergonomics of the i don't know i don't know what these are called but the you know judy boys at the bottom here actually kind of reminds me of the dual sense to be perfectly honest with you uh on that subject no you cannot use it with a playstation 5. it is xbox and pc only but it's of course xbox series and then also xbox one the xbox one series as well um but what i will say is that compared to for example i've got a first generation elite controller here and compared to this it is very obviously designed for someone with longer fingers bigger hands like even with this in the background here you can see this is a larger controller and one of the key features is these remappable buttons on the back here but to be honest with you like look at this if i'm holding this in a comfortable position where i can actually reach the menu buttons on the top i can barely reach these ones with my ring fingers and my middle fingers are not really able to do much of anything here like i have to go and put my hands at this unnatural angle in order to reach these so unless you've got longer hands i don't think you're going to be finding those that useful as for the feel of the rest of the buttons abxy really nice you can actually you can really hear that sound really like the feel of those switches easy to press nice and tactile i'd say the presses on the analog sticks are normal nothing really stands out to me about them wow those have to be among the loudest shoulder buttons i have ever heard all right so the triggers on the back they've actually got two different modes so you can either there you go flip this switch right here and put it in like kind of a hair trigger mode or you can flip it back to the regular position and unlock the full travel the idea here being that if you're playing a shooter or something like that you want a shorter travel so that it can respond more quickly and bounce back more quickly and if you're playing a racing game then you want to unlock the full travel for finer control of the throttle in practice i'm not sure if i feel like it makes much of a difference immediately but we'll see we're going to fire up some games here before we do that though i should probably have a look at the rest of the accessories that are included in the package we've got these little convex joystick toppers quality of them feels really nice so you just thread the old ones off there's actually what looks like a rubber o-ring to keep it from accidentally slipping off while you're playing it would sort of act as kind of a thread locker i don't think that i'm that into the convex top it's got the same really nice feeling rubberized grip something i thought was interesting is they don't provide you another one of these convex tops when you buy a new uh a new module so it only comes with the concave one that's the default so what that means is if these are actually your preference you're probably going to have to buy them separately cable suitably adequate carrying bag there's a phillips head screwdriver with a pokey thing oh interesting i think i figured this out so you put that in there and pop out the module and then if you wanted to swap out say for example uh oops you got a lefty loose seat there you go if you wanted to swap out a trigger then you could do that as well those are swappable too neat this is why it's always fun to unbox things when you haven't actually like done any research on the product i get to discover the features with you okay well that's cool personally i would like something more grippy here so maybe that's an accessory that they sell my lord this thing is expensive hot diggity definitely feels premium like it's this is a first gen elite controller by the way but it definitely feels more rigid in spite of being larger but wow it ain't cheap and it's not even wireless that's a funny one to me like what what year is it nice long cable i guess so that's it time to experience it but not until after i tell you about our sponsor for this video the antlion modmic wireless microphone allows you to turn your favorite headphones into a headset it features a 12 plus hour battery that can be charged even while in use and has two modes allowing it to be used in omnidirectional mode or directional mode with a switch on the mic it seamlessly connects with pc mac Linux and ps4 and you can check it out at LMG.gg slash wireless mod mic now slightly less wireless let's go ahead and connect the controller here it's schtick it's gonna be that you can change the color stuff then i guess we might as well do it you know this would also be a good opportunity to put to the test just how easy it is does one of my kids want to come help me for a minute i need you guys to help me pick which color buttons we want to put on the controller okay apparently we're going with blue there you go okay that was it we swapped the whole thing out to a blue themed one now thank you darlings see you later bye-bye loaded up a couple games here to at least try out and see how it goes start with some do maternal so we're going to try out the shooter trigger mode here i can definitely feel a little of the designed for larger mitzness i wasn't really expecting it but oh you know what i wonder if part of the problem is just that i'm more accustomed to the traditional xbox oh okay that definitely helps i mean it's cool that you can just swap that quickly like if i'm playing a you know old-school platform game or something like that i'm like yeah i really want like a nice d-pad right here instead of having to reach over here for it pretty sweet oh wow i didn't even notice this before volume control mic button and okay you got a couple of profile buttons down here so that's pretty sweet as well as the map button so this allows you to remap these without even actually using the thrustmaster software one thing i would definitely use the software to adjust is the dead zone so right now it's a little bit large for me you can see i can move this a fair bit without anything actually happening uh i prefer dead zones to be as small as humanly possible weird when i'm in reverse the rumble feels great but then feels really cheap on the forward i have no idea if that's just my unit but it really doesn't feel that great now when i break and go in reverse it feels great like really deep and then it's just kind of on the gas oops yeah i just suck at racing games feels great other than that rumble issue if i were you i would check out some other reviews and see if they've had the same problem before pulling the trigger so to speak oops oops oops see you later pretty good customizable definitely feels quality the wire's a bit of a bummer and so is the price so whether or not it's worth it to you is sort of your call but it looks cool so you guys can
