Just got the new 6 button PlayStation controller from Razer. I think it’s good overall except for one issue. Are there dead zones on the back buttons? I hit the buttons on the back and a decent amount of times it doesn’t register? I don’t know what’s going on with this, I have the Xbox version of this controller as well and haven’t had this issue. Has anyone experienced this? Is there anything I can do to fix it?
The other day I posted a review of the Scuf Omega after having just a couple days of use out of it. I just want to say that I find the side buttons much more usable now once I’ve gotten used to them and are better than I originally thought although I still do wish they had just done the extra bumper buttons instead. I have been able to use it for constant functions though which I originally said I didn’t think I would be able to
I don’t need any other demographic information, simply just the number of concerts you have been to. I need this for a school project. Thanks
Edit: thanks for the responses, I need another 12 more for the project
Please just make it match the Omega with an Xbox design. I switch back and forth between Xbox and Playstation, it’s difficult to do that with a different controller design and different amount of extra buttons
I map my back buttons to the dpad and then do custom binds in game so that my whole game is the back buttons and the face buttons with no need to use the dpad. I’m confused though because I’ve heard that other people don’t do this and simply put back buttons mapped as face buttons, so do you guys still use your dpad all the time?
The problem with my method is that it messes some things up, for instance in apex legends I can’t crouch or change weapons while looting a death box because my buttons are mapped as dpad directions and it simply moves in the inventory instead. It seems like there is a trade off whichever way you try to do it. You either have to use the dpad when there is a perfectly good face button there because the face button is already mapped in the back, or map the back as the dpad and then face some kind of issue at times like the deathbox looting scenario I referred to
Curious how you guys use your back button controllers?
He’s at 43,440, if he scores 18 ppg and plays 70 out of 82 games that puts him at 45960, basically 46k. What are your guys projections?
Controller is not nearly as big or bulky as I thought it was going to be. Back paddles feel fine, it’s closer to the Xbox instinct paddles than the old reflex paddles. Personally I liked the reflex paddles a little better (but not a big deal) because there was more surface area to hit, especially for the top paddles. The reflex also had a trade off of a weird misfire on the paddles every so often where the functions would switch for some reason for a bit before working properly again. For instance if b was the bottom paddles and X was the top one the top one would become b and the bottom x for a few seconds randomly at times until it went back to normal (this was my biggest complaint with this controller).
I like having more buttons on the controller so every time I see 6 button options I want to try it. I wasn’t sure about the placement of these extra buttons on the side but knew I had to try it first to see how it is. I already know that the extra bumper buttons are good from using Razer controllers. Unfortunately, the side buttons are okay but not great. They are helpful in games where you only use those buttons every once in a while- for instance Apex Legends my main back buttons are crouch, jump, change weapon, grab item/reload. The side buttons are equipping a frag and meleeing. Since these functions are not used that often it works fine. In Overwatch my main functions are crouch, jump, reload, and melee. The side buttons are interact (like taking a symmetra portal) and ultimate. Since I only use those abilities sometimes it’s fine.
In Fortnite however I have a 6 button battle beaver that my main functions are build, edit, crouch, jump, and my extra pair of functions are pickaxe and picking up items/opening chests. Since these are used constantly through the match the side buttons aren’t any good for it. There’s just no what to seamlessly and quickly incorporate the button presses into your match consistently the way you would for a regular pair of extra buttons. These extra buttons aren’t really usable in Fortnite to me. I probably could map one to reload for just slightly increased speed (my reload and pick up item buttons are separated) but there’s no other function in the game that the other side button would be useful for because you just can’t hit it quickly and consistently on a constant basis. Using the face buttons instead would just work out better.
In summary pretty decent controller but would work way better if they just had a pair of extra bumper buttons like Razer instead of the side of the controller placement like they have
Edit: if I played halo on pc it would work fine too- main 4 buttons jump, crouch, change weapon, equip/reload, side two buttons melee and change grenade. It really comes down to how often you will need to use the functions on the side buttons. If it’s just sometimes it will work fine, it doesn’t feel super awkward hitting them or something. If you need to use them a lot though like your pickaxe in Fortnite it’s just not going to work
Edit 2: this same exact controller with an extra pair of buttons at the top like Razer or Gamesir instead of the sides would definitely be the best controller I’ve ever used. With the buttons on the side though it is a reliable 4 paddle controller and you may or may not find the other two buttons useful. In my opinion my 6 button battle beaver controller is still my best controller because all 6 buttons are easily usable regardless of how often I need to hit them
Don’t get me wrong, I think apex is a great game but I personally don’t like making TTK faster and think it takes away from fight dynamics. What are the thoughts of people on this sub?
Hello, as a controller player I try to match my sens across games as well as I can strictly through the feel test. Will Aimlab recommendation for sense take into account what my sens is for benchmarks using one games settings when I switch over to another game? I wish there was a way to get it consistent across games
Looking to buy a gaming pc. How many fps would a 5070 ti, Intel i7 get me for games like Fortnite and apex legends, running at 1440p? Thanks
