Purist 134 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Why do companies keep making all these 3rd party controllers that are expensive as fuck. Do they even sell that much? 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Remij 4,670 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Not even going to lie... this looks sick as fuck. And it's for PC as well. I'm probably going to pick one of these up. Hopefully the build quality lasts Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yea I've heard they're pretty good. Also, I'm extremely hopeful, because at first I thought the hand grips were rubber on the back, but they're actually textured plastic.. which means that there's no adhesive to loosen and rubber to peel off Looking at the shape and ergonomics, it looks like a solid mix between the Switch Pro controller shape, and Xbox One controllers. $270 CAD though.. This is the RTX of controllers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This is the RTX of controllers Eh that adhesive peel problem with the Elite is overblown, the same thing happened to my Deathadder on the side grips. You know what I did? Super glue, they haven't moved in years. Edited March 22, 2019 by DynamiteCop! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It's overblown and easily correctable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Glad this controller doesn't They're not using shitty adhesive, they're using adhesive which doesn't actually bond the materials together so the device can still be easily taken apart or repaired by use of a heat gun. Super glue 'permanently' bonds the materials together which is exactly why they don't use it or some form of epoxy. Using rubber is self evident, you get better grip than plastic regardless of surface texture and it's more comfortable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And if you have to use super glue to "fix it"... then you're already "fucking up" your controller. Shitty adhesive, shitty idea. Spending $200 and dealing with shitty rubber grips that peel off after 6-12 months (conveniently after their warranty expires)... If they're going to use rubber, these premium controllers should have 2 year warranties where they send you a brand new one if you have any issues regarding it. Textured high quality plastic is better. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
