WEBVTT 00:00:00.080 --> 00:00:06.160 it's been a while since the controller has caught my eye like the thrustmaster 00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:11.040 e-swap x pro controller and maybe i'm just getting you know caught 00:00:08.480 --> 00:00:16.800 up in the xbox series x series s hype but this thing looks pretty freaking sweet 00:00:14.799 --> 00:00:20.000 compared to their last generation model it's got upgraded analog sticks which 00:00:18.800 --> 00:00:27.119 supposedly have better like resistance sort of 00:00:23.359 --> 00:00:27.119 whatever that means that 00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:35.680 better physical resistance improved re-centering positioning 00:00:32.399 --> 00:00:38.320 and double the lifespan so 00:00:35.680 --> 00:00:40.879 uh we'll get to that in a second first things first you got your quick start 00:00:39.840 --> 00:00:45.200 guide a little thing for their thrust mapper 00:00:43.760 --> 00:00:49.039 so this is their software that allows you to set up profiles you can 00:00:47.200 --> 00:00:52.000 remap the buttons to the ones on the back on the fly 00:00:50.559 --> 00:00:54.879 so you're not required to use the software but hey it's an option if you 00:00:54.160 --> 00:01:01.920 want it and then of course one of the big features of this guy 00:00:58.320 --> 00:01:05.119 is the modular uh there we go 00:01:01.920 --> 00:01:07.439 modular analog sticks and d-pad 00:01:05.119 --> 00:01:10.140 sort of pieces here so what this allows you to do 00:01:08.400 --> 00:01:11.840 is set up more like a 00:01:11.840 --> 00:01:15.759 we go dual shock style two analog sticks 00:01:14.880 --> 00:01:21.200 here d-pad over here or i mean i guess 00:01:19.040 --> 00:01:25.600 if you were like you know totally demented 00:01:22.240 --> 00:01:28.479 you could put uh a d-pad over here 00:01:25.600 --> 00:01:31.280 and then two analog sticks over here and given that you can actually buy 00:01:29.759 --> 00:01:37.759 additional modules i don't think anything would prevent you from done oh yeah 00:01:35.920 --> 00:01:41.600 of course if we're gonna cover a modular controller we gotta 00:01:39.119 --> 00:01:45.520 we gotta get a get a module here you could even go 00:01:42.799 --> 00:01:49.520 three analog sticks if you really wanted to so this 00:01:46.159 --> 00:01:52.960 is the sx nxg so nxg i think is 00:01:49.520 --> 00:01:55.280 next gen mini stick module and it comes 00:01:52.960 --> 00:01:59.680 with a whole lot of nothing while 00:01:57.280 --> 00:02:03.439 theoretically you could get modules with different characteristics 00:02:01.119 --> 00:02:07.680 there's nothing on here that indicates that 00:02:04.159 --> 00:02:08.399 that's the case um but for whatever 00:02:07.680 --> 00:02:13.440 reason this one has a different part number than the ones that were included 00:02:12.080 --> 00:02:16.959 i mean i have seen that before where there's different part numbers for like 00:02:15.360 --> 00:02:22.879 the replacement one versus the one that comes with it i don't know i don't understand why that's necessary but it 00:02:20.319 --> 00:02:27.120 seems like that might be the case here there you go the 00:02:24.080 --> 00:02:28.400 the three analog stick it's like having 00:02:27.120 --> 00:02:34.959 a third nipple it's like there's nothing wrong with it it's just not the usual 00:02:32.720 --> 00:02:39.440 uh configuration that's all initial impressions 00:02:35.840 --> 00:02:41.440 actually d-pad feels pretty darn good 00:02:39.440 --> 00:02:45.120 like if i was playing a retro platformer or something like that 00:02:42.480 --> 00:02:49.120 i could get very comfortable with this i like the ergonomics of 00:02:46.800 --> 00:02:54.480 the i don't know i don't know what these are called but the 00:02:51.280 --> 00:02:56.239 you know judy boys at the bottom here 00:02:54.480 --> 00:03:00.879 actually kind of reminds me of the dual sense to be perfectly honest with you 00:02:58.560 --> 00:03:05.599 uh on that subject no you cannot use it with a playstation 5. it is 00:03:02.480 --> 00:03:09.040 xbox and pc only but it's of course 00:03:05.599 --> 00:03:12.640 xbox series and then also xbox one 00:03:09.040 --> 00:03:15.280 the xbox one series as well 00:03:12.640 --> 00:03:18.159 um but what i will say is that compared to 00:03:15.760 --> 00:03:22.480 for example i've got a first generation elite controller here 00:03:19.760 --> 00:03:27.920 and compared to this it is very obviously designed for someone with 00:03:25.120 --> 00:03:31.680 longer fingers bigger hands like even with this in the background here you can 00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:35.840 see this is a larger controller and one of the key features is these 00:03:33.519 --> 00:03:39.040 remappable buttons on the back here but to be honest with you like look at 00:03:37.519 --> 00:03:42.720 this if i'm holding this in a comfortable position where i can actually reach the menu buttons on the 00:03:41.760 --> 00:03:46.480 top i can barely reach these ones with my 00:03:45.360 --> 00:03:51.440 ring fingers and my middle fingers are not really able to do much of 00:03:49.760 --> 00:03:55.200 anything here like i have to go and put my hands at this unnatural angle in 00:03:53.360 --> 00:03:58.319 order to reach these so unless you've got longer hands i 00:03:57.040 --> 00:04:03.519 don't think you're going to be finding those that useful as for the feel of the rest of the 00:04:00.720 --> 00:04:07.360 buttons abxy really nice you can actually you can 00:04:05.280 --> 00:04:14.159 really hear that sound really like the feel of those switches 00:04:10.400 --> 00:04:17.680 easy to press nice and tactile 00:04:14.159 --> 00:04:20.639 i'd say the presses on the analog sticks 00:04:17.680 --> 00:04:24.000 are normal nothing really stands out to me about them 00:04:21.759 --> 00:04:24.000 wow 00:04:25.600 --> 00:04:30.960 those have to be among the loudest shoulder buttons i have ever heard 00:04:31.680 --> 00:04:37.040 all right so the triggers on the back 00:04:35.120 --> 00:04:40.320 they've actually got two different modes so you can either 00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:43.040 there you go flip this switch right here and put it in like kind of a hair 00:04:41.919 --> 00:04:46.479 trigger mode or you can flip it back to the regular 00:04:45.360 --> 00:04:50.479 position and unlock the full travel the idea here 00:04:48.639 --> 00:04:54.720 being that if you're playing a shooter or something like that you want a shorter travel so that it can 00:04:53.360 --> 00:04:58.080 respond more quickly and bounce back more quickly and if 00:04:56.639 --> 00:05:03.039 you're playing a racing game then you want to unlock the full travel for finer control of the throttle in 00:05:01.280 --> 00:05:05.120 practice i'm not sure if i feel like it makes much of a difference immediately 00:05:04.639 --> 00:05:09.680 but we'll see we're going to fire up some games here before we do that though i 00:05:08.320 --> 00:05:15.919 should probably have a look at the rest of the accessories that are included in the package 00:05:12.240 --> 00:05:18.560 we've got these little convex 00:05:15.919 --> 00:05:20.960 joystick toppers quality of them feels really nice 00:05:19.360 --> 00:05:24.639 so you just thread the old ones off there's actually what looks like a 00:05:23.440 --> 00:05:30.320 rubber o-ring to keep it from accidentally slipping off while you're playing it would sort 00:05:27.680 --> 00:05:33.759 of act as kind of a thread locker i don't think that i'm that into the 00:05:32.960 --> 00:05:37.440 convex top it's got the same really nice 00:05:36.080 --> 00:05:40.639 feeling rubberized grip something i thought was interesting is they don't provide you another one of 00:05:40.080 --> 00:05:46.320 these convex tops when you buy a new uh 00:05:44.240 --> 00:05:49.759 a new module so it only comes with the concave one that's the default so what 00:05:48.160 --> 00:05:55.840 that means is if these are actually your preference you're probably going to have to buy them separately 00:05:52.560 --> 00:05:58.319 cable suitably adequate 00:05:55.840 --> 00:06:02.880 carrying bag there's a phillips head screwdriver with a 00:06:00.080 --> 00:06:05.680 pokey thing oh interesting i think i figured this out 00:06:03.759 --> 00:06:10.400 so you put that in there and pop out the module 00:06:07.280 --> 00:06:13.759 and then if you wanted to swap out 00:06:10.400 --> 00:06:15.759 say for example uh oops 00:06:13.759 --> 00:06:20.800 you got a lefty loose seat there you go if you wanted to 00:06:17.440 --> 00:06:23.440 swap out a trigger then you could do 00:06:20.800 --> 00:06:27.919 that as well those are swappable too neat this is why 00:06:26.319 --> 00:06:32.000 it's always fun to unbox things when you haven't actually like 00:06:29.840 --> 00:06:36.800 done any research on the product i get to discover the features with you 00:06:34.639 --> 00:06:40.800 okay well that's cool personally i would like something more grippy here so 00:06:38.479 --> 00:06:45.840 maybe that's an accessory that they sell my 00:06:41.520 --> 00:06:48.560 lord this thing is expensive hot diggity 00:06:45.840 --> 00:06:52.080 definitely feels premium like it's this is a first gen elite controller by the 00:06:50.080 --> 00:06:58.080 way but it definitely feels more rigid in spite of being larger 00:06:54.080 --> 00:07:00.400 but wow it ain't cheap 00:06:58.080 --> 00:07:06.639 and it's not even wireless that's a funny one to me like what 00:07:02.319 --> 00:07:09.680 what year is it nice long cable i guess 00:07:06.639 --> 00:07:11.919 so that's it time to experience it 00:07:09.680 --> 00:07:15.199 but not until after i tell you about our sponsor for this video 00:07:13.199 --> 00:07:17.039 the antlion modmic wireless microphone allows you to turn your favorite 00:07:16.400 --> 00:07:21.199 headphones into a headset it features a 12 plus 00:07:19.599 --> 00:07:26.000 hour battery that can be charged even while in use and has two modes allowing it to be used 00:07:24.479 --> 00:07:30.319 in omnidirectional mode or directional mode with a switch on the 00:07:28.000 --> 00:07:34.479 mic it seamlessly connects with pc mac Linux and ps4 and you can check it out 00:07:32.319 --> 00:07:40.800 at LMG.gg slash wireless mod mic now 00:07:38.319 --> 00:07:45.199 slightly less wireless let's go ahead and connect the controller here 00:07:43.199 --> 00:07:50.400 it's schtick it's gonna be that you can change the color stuff then i guess 00:07:47.440 --> 00:07:52.720 we might as well do it you know this would also be a good opportunity to put 00:07:52.000 --> 00:07:57.199 to the test just how easy it is does one of my kids 00:07:55.280 --> 00:08:01.520 want to come help me for a minute i need you guys to help me pick which 00:07:59.919 --> 00:08:06.800 color buttons we want to put on the controller 00:08:02.960 --> 00:08:06.800 okay apparently we're going with blue 00:08:10.400 --> 00:08:16.560 there you go okay that was it 00:08:14.080 --> 00:08:20.639 we swapped the whole thing out to a blue themed one now 00:08:17.599 --> 00:08:23.199 thank you darlings see you later 00:08:20.639 --> 00:08:28.400 bye-bye loaded up a couple games here to at least try out and see how it goes 00:08:25.680 --> 00:08:32.399 start with some do maternal so we're going to try out the 00:08:29.599 --> 00:08:38.000 shooter trigger mode here i can definitely feel a little of the 00:08:34.880 --> 00:08:41.599 designed for larger mitzness i wasn't 00:08:38.000 --> 00:08:43.680 really expecting it but oh you know what 00:08:41.599 --> 00:08:46.720 i wonder if part of the problem is just that i'm more accustomed to the 00:08:46.080 --> 00:08:52.560 traditional xbox oh okay 00:08:50.320 --> 00:08:56.560 that definitely helps i mean it's cool that you can just swap that quickly 00:08:54.720 --> 00:08:59.440 like if i'm playing a you know old-school 00:08:57.839 --> 00:09:04.080 platform game or something like that i'm like yeah i really want like a nice d-pad right here instead of having to 00:09:02.320 --> 00:09:09.040 reach over here for it pretty sweet oh wow i didn't even notice 00:09:06.240 --> 00:09:14.080 this before volume control mic button and okay you got a couple of 00:09:12.480 --> 00:09:18.399 profile buttons down here so that's pretty sweet as well as the map button so this allows 00:09:17.120 --> 00:09:23.920 you to remap these without even actually using the thrustmaster software one thing i would 00:09:21.920 --> 00:09:27.200 definitely use the software to adjust is the dead zone 00:09:24.959 --> 00:09:31.920 so right now it's a little bit large for me you can see i can move this a fair 00:09:28.880 --> 00:09:34.640 bit without anything actually happening 00:09:31.920 --> 00:09:41.040 uh i prefer dead zones to be as small as humanly possible 00:09:37.440 --> 00:09:42.080 weird when i'm in reverse the rumble 00:09:41.040 --> 00:09:49.440 feels great but then feels really 00:09:45.440 --> 00:09:50.080 cheap on the forward i have no idea if 00:09:49.440 --> 00:09:53.920 that's just my unit but it really doesn't feel that 00:09:52.959 --> 00:10:02.720 great now when i break and go in reverse it feels great like really deep 00:09:57.839 --> 00:10:02.720 and then it's just kind of on the gas 00:10:02.839 --> 00:10:09.040 oops yeah i just suck at racing games 00:10:07.040 --> 00:10:12.240 feels great other than that rumble issue if i were you i would check out 00:10:10.640 --> 00:10:17.519 some other reviews and see if they've had the same problem 00:10:14.079 --> 00:10:21.839 before pulling the trigger so to speak 00:10:17.519 --> 00:10:24.640 oops oops oops see you later 00:10:21.839 --> 00:10:27.760 pretty good customizable definitely feels quality 00:10:25.920 --> 00:10:31.360 the wire's a bit of a bummer and so is the price so whether or not it's worth 00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:35.920 it to you is sort of your call but it looks cool 00:10:34.399 --> 00:10:39.680 so you guys can check it out at the link down below and make sure you're
