HEXGAMING Rival Controller 2 Mappable Paddles & Interchangeable Thumbsticks

HEXGAMING Rival Controller

Triggers feel great and springy. Good to have the two extra paddles in the back though my hands feel really cramped continually reaching for them while playing faced paced fps’s online. Seems overpriced for what youre getting but not a whole lot of options at the moment and playstation doesn’t offer an officially licensed pro controller.

Controller are very attractive, hair trigger shoulder buttons, nice clicky back buttons, very high quality build, included interchangeable thumb sticks.
This controller is purely for FPS games and other shooters. Not recommended for games that involve driving
Other: this didn’t affect my rating but this is just a clarification for newbies like me who have never used a pro controller -the paddles on the back don’t act like extra buttons. They can only copy the action of existing buttons (example, the R paddle can be assigned to the X button which is assigned to jump. But you can’t just assign the R paddle to jump by itself.
So happy with this controller. I have had several different ones for the PS4 over the years and all at about this same price point. First from Hex Gaming and to date this is my favorite!!!

HexGaming’s inventions that made the Rival great are still then, too. However, the Fastshots make all four shoulder buttons into hair triggers, giving a competitive edge to those who primarily play online, If named. R1 and L1 both click in at half of a millimeter( as opposed to 1.2 millimeters DualSense and the triggers spark at 2 millimeters instead of 7 millimeters. Especially great for rapid-firing semi-automatic weapons or anything that rewards faster presses.

The Ultimate rises above the starting point of the Rival on the rear paddles. It still has two rear paddles that can be programmed to work with any button. The pair of additional buttons located on the back, in the center between two paddles, are all possible to map using a straightforward procedure that is now more intuitive. Give more options to those who want more at their fingertips, but, in this case, less is more.

Whereas the paddles aren’t rigid enough to press accidentally, These keys cannot be said to be the same. They are too simple to press without knowing since they are in the center, where many people will likely rest their middle fingers. Accidentally pressing these two buttons also appears more frequently when moving around or not remaining still. They can provide extra benefits without getting to be mapped to anything at all. In most scenarios, they are a slight loss or some neutral amount, which is a small problem since these buttons are the most prominent fresh advantage over the competition.

These choices range from tacky and openly garnished (like the Joker plates) to aesthetically pleasing, which these kinds of build-your-own controllers should offer.

The Hex Ultimate Controller still needs to address the two most significant issues with the Rival: the price and the lack of a toggle for the Fastshot triggers. The price seems more like a “necessary” evil in the package since the controller is of excellent caliber. However, the inability to utilize triggers that adjust and the useful Fastshot triggers prevents it from being the “maximum” controller, as implied by its moniker. The additional back buttons are both a pro and a con for the Ultimate, but the comprehensive customizability and robust structure are the best parts of Hex PS5 controllers. They make it a superior Dual Sense and a better option for those who want and will pay for it.
