This is the main review I’ve wanted since I subscribed. I thank you whole heartedly sir, I look forward to seeing more vids :)
because of yur durability review on battle beaver in general i jumpd head first n orderd one.. i built multiple to see wut options would b best n now i am waiting 8 weeks lol .. thank yu for yur honest reviews i do much appreciate it
I've been waiting longer. Kind of annoying at this point.
If you had to name this controller what would it be? Definitely looking forward to the giveaway stream for this killer Smartpad Controller! I've linked all of my reviews for the different Battle Beaver's I've tried out here on the channel in the video description. Stay awesome everyone, see you soon 👌
Sleeper, it looks so unassuming but underneath is a killer

azrael .. angel of death 😂
Ghost
Rip-off... $450 for a controller that breaks in the first 6 months and they wouldn't fix it free of charge ... I wouldn't recommend BB controllers at all.
Because of your channel Ive been wanting a BB custom for years. Finally I have ordered one. Prob about 3-4 weeks ago, so I e still got quite the wait. But man, I am super stoked.
Edit: Finally shipped. Wait time was 12 weeks.
It’s been 6 weeks did you get it yet
I bought one recently and trust guys you are gonna wanna take the time and have your buttons placed exactly where you need them...
Another solid review as always my man!
sometimes I wonder how do you not have over 1MIL subs like your videos are so good.
Solid vid as always! Giveaway stream is gonna be hype! 💯🔥
I have always wonder why a gaming controller company has not make a controller with buttons on the back of the controller instead of the front face of it?
Obviously it would be for certain games, maybe all games? But it would be something.
I have a BattleBeaver for my PS4 and I never use the front 4 buttons anymore (I have a BB with 2 buttons on the left and 2 buttons on the right).
I keep both my thumbs on the joysticks and my fingers on the back buttons makes gaming so much easier!
WE need that monitors for nextgen reviews!
would have loved to see a comparison of the smart buttons next to retail
i was wondering if the smartpad controllers came with extreme thumbstick tension for the quick pick controllers because im not seeing that option im only seeing the option on their custom builds?
I ordered a Series x Battle Beaver, I have had scuf, elite and other paddled controllers. Cant wait!
I've been waiting since March for mine so looks like you'll have to.😂
I LOVE U SO MUCH AIR BEAR THANK GOD THERES AN HONEST REVIEW BY U ❤️❤️❤️
Is the latency the same as the regular ps4 controller or do they have the module in it like scuff to lower the latency?
If they make a ps5 one, hopefully they change the thumbstick mechanism so it doesn’t drift in the next 2 days
I’m struggling too return my controller, does anyone have any pointers on the matter? I can’t find a return sheet or how I’m supposed to return it. My reason for the return is that i chosed Standard-low option with soft press on my 4 back buttons, and I would not recommend this, they are too close and too sensitive so u can’t rest ur fingers normally. I would go with the medium - lower option, I have «small» hands though. I have increased tension and it’s just not working for me, the aiming is by no doubt easier too control, but what I didn’t expect is that it is slower in general, i went from 5-5 in sense too 8-8 and it’s still too slow and that makes it impossible too use for me. Extremely hard too snipe as well with increased.
That's the reason I went with the Xbox series x. I did not like how Playstation put limits on what games you can use the battle beaver controller. I love Battlebeaver!
Might be unrelated, but my right stick had increased tension and I’ve dealt with extreme unidirectional drift since the day I unboxed. Hoped it would “break in” and tried to make it work, but should’ve sent it for repair/replacement. I really like the controller and company so hopefully my case was just a fluke.
Any update on this?
Ik this is an old video but have you reviewed cinch controllers or gotten ahold of a ps5 battle beaver?
wait time is a major con.. i spent a good price on my custom and i love it BUT i got it in 12 weeks and when i contacted them they always said it should arrive in a week. In reality u will wait 8 weeks or more which is really really annoying
Always hyped for your videos!
Battle Beaver hands down one of the best out of all them
I dropped my controller from chest high and also completely broke my R2 trigger. What did you do to fix it?
AIR BEAR with yet again... another great video
i dont like how they glue the back bottons they end up losing up. i open mine and it just had like that hard plastic glue on it
Great review bro ✌️
I love my custom dualsense from BB.
try out cinch or nagashock custom controllers
Where are those lights in the background from?
I always wondered have u ever tried to build ur own controller with extreamrate
Indeed I have. Turned out really good
I've built a few, and the Decade Tournament Controller one is pretty nice. Good as a backup if all else fails.
I build them as a side hussle, made some really nice controllers along with parts from other retailers, the digital triggers are really good but you need to be careful when fitting them or when you press L2 or R2 your L1 amd R1 wont work properly but 99% of the time you wont notice it. The swappable thumb sticks are great too, the back button kits button placement isnt the best, the dual sense kits that are in the pipeline look a lot better
@@aldworth33 True, some parts you have to be careful with. I built two Xbox controllers and made some money off them. The one thing that irks me about the kits - most of the time, the front shells aren't as tight of a fit as I'd like them. It's actually fun making them. I've also made two PS4 controllers for myself
@@mb3939 yeah the ps4 shells aren't 100% either the hard shells arent too bad but the soft touch ones are about 90% as far as fit goes, but obviously you're not paying pennies and expecting premium results. I tell the customers if they want to spend the money spend money it'll be 100% but spend 50% less and get 90% of the product quality isnt bad if you ask me.
You can use a cronus zen to play PS5 games with any controller and KB&M
i would call the controller: battle reaper
Can you bind the back buttons to anything on pc?
im thinking about buying one for sure
That is by far my biggest issue with the ps5 that took me almost 5 months to get... my $200+ custom scuf controller is useless unless I play the ps4 version of whatever game I'm playing... so no 120Hz support cause they don't do variable refresh rate "yet"... so basically between that and the pathetic storage space I paid over $500 for a ps4 with a cooling and storage upgrade that takes up twice as much space on my desk
The worlds smallest violin is playing for you 👌
Poor guy, praying for you 🙏
i ordered one of them, do they work on pc? kind regards
Do these controls connect to other consoles? Can I connect a ps4 controller to a Xbox?
how do u enter the giveaway
I am very confused can someone help me. The smartpad controller you can see him holding has 4 backside buttons. however, the smartpad "shooter" option only has 2 buttons. Is the smartpad controller he is using a customized one or what because that is confusing?
You know you could answer your own question by simply going to the battle beaver website and doing ur own research…
Yes he has a custom smart pad controller. The one he’s using allows for up-to 4 back buttons. The “shooter” option is a preset option,though cheaper, only allows for 2 back buttons with buttons preset to X & O ONLY. I opted for the custom smart pad with 2 back buttons with the programmable chip to have the ability to re map. Hope this helps.
What is the different button option
Can you do some more PS5 controllers. I just took a dive and bought a custom Cinch controller but it would be great to get your opinion on them too as well as modded zone. Great content as always
how does ur cinch hold up especially the thumbsticks??
@@aidenrose1834 it hasn't arrived yet - build time is meant to be 6 - 8 weeks but I didn't opt to change them. There is no option currently to get extended thumbsticks, just change the colour. When it comes, I will get back to you
Yes you can use the Cronus Zen with the PS4 hori controller plugged in, it registers your PS4 as a PS5 controller and you can play PS5 games with your PS4 controller hope that helps. I build custom controllers I wouldn't mind sending one out to you to review.
They should come to Europe the only reason I don’t order one is postage costs and wait time
Will you able to connect the controler to a ps5
Can you add the thumbstick tension to a prebuilt or do I have to customize a while controller
Thats what I wanna know lol
@@mikenojones6861 I called them and they said you can but your have to buy it, receive it, then send it back to be modified. I don’t understand why but at that point you might as well just customize one because it’ll take the same amount of time
I have a battle beaver I definitely would get one again. I wouldn’t get z sticks again don’t like them at all. Also my right analog is very loose already after 3 weeks so pretty sure something is broke or not working properly.
Wouldn’t interchangeable sticks will be best bet as if u get stick drift u just take them off and add whatever 1 u want, instead of just getting it fully in there where u can’t change it, and have to but a new controller?
what placement do you use?
Ay what you know about sonic fox 😏 that’s the goat
Always wanted a controller with back buttons :(
Buy ExtremeRate kit on Amazon. You do it yourself but it’s extremely easy
I heard you can use the Cronus Zen as a PS4 controller adapter without cheating.
Its still considered cheating due to the tos of most games but it can be hard to detect. Just don’t use it in a competitive setting bc you’ll eventually get banned.
no way those back buttons beat Evil controllers back paddles
That’s why I’m checking out Battle Beaver, they look much more low profile, Evil controllers are amazing but the back buttons stick out too far...
I bought a Scuf Impact and once I held it on my hand I regretted it, don’t like the feel and the paddles don’t feel comfortable, I’ll be saving up and buying a Battle Beaver
Once you buy you’ll have have to wait 3 months for the battle beaver to come in
@@xSiMBuH yeah I heard but I’m fine with the wait if the end result feels a lot more comfortable, just sucks none of my friends has a Battle beaver for me to be able to feel it first
Best controller company no questions asked
They have terrible customer support and building time. Company is pretty bad
I was looking for a controller so I could change from my Xbox elite series 2 to a ps4 controller because I’ve heard the ps4 controller works better for warzone
I’ll be buying one of these for sure !
Wooo
Twitch link shows last live last year
Can I use this on Xbox series x?
i think the Cronus Zen allows you to use any controller let alone a DS4 on PS5, but many people look at it as a cheating device since you can load custom firmware to it as well
Yeah if Thrustmaster don't make a PS5 version of the eSWAP I'll have to buy one of these to use my PS4 one.
@Imran A I'm sort of getting drift on my right stick, but I'm sending it back for a replacement as it's within 28 days. I think it's because I put so much pressure on one side of the stick. So with my replacement I'm putting KontrolFreek Galaxy's on both sticks, so that I have good grip resting my thumbs more in the middle.
@Imran A make sure it's the Xbox One sticks as they just about fit the eSWAP.
Why does everyone slander scud I have an impact with digital tap buttons and it is amazing not a problem with it
I love Battle Beaver controllers! I hope I win this beast!!
So excited for giveaway
what are you playing on ps5 anyway
How do i send my controller in
I bought back buttons. Now I have pain in my left little finger.....🥺
I went to 5 diffrent stores and couldn't find a ps4 controller
Thank you for the video
Been on the fence on which to get for a xbox pro controller from either Battlebeavers or AIMControllers. Might have to go with BattleBeavers!
I got major stickdrift after just a month of receiving and using my battle beaver, it’s truly annoying because it truly is messing my gameplay up
I don’t have stick drift but, when I play on linear (apex), I notice the stick drift.
I’ve had my battle beaver for a year and a half
Can't wait for the giveaway!
dont like your own comment
@@master__frog5429 why not
Cool controller
I emailed Battle Beavers since it’s been quite awhile on my order for a custom controller (6 weeks now) and I understand they estimated 8 weeks but still... the wait is unbearable. I’m tempted to buy a quick pick just so I don’t have to dream about how they feel...
Here’s a snippet of what support replied with:
“We are currently working on orders placed on March 10th. We expect your order, placed on April 24th, to reach the front of our queue sometime in July.”
I don’t know how long build time lasts but hopefully it doesn’t go until August.
did u order ps4 or ps5 controller and did u get it yet?
@@aidenrose1834 PS4 (playing on PC), still no email about shipping notification or anything. I think if I ask again, I’ll probably be told which spot in line I’ll be in.
@AIR BEAR just use the Cronus Zen with the PS5 Dongle or a Speciality Controller (PS5 Authentication): guide.cronusmax.com/systems/playstation-5
It's all I use with my scuff.
The cronus zen lets you play ps5 games with ps4 controller according to john glasscock
Expect a 3 month turnaround minimum. Still waiting for mine.
Edit: finally arrives today. We'll see how it is!
If you would of bought a custom controller of me, I would of been ready to post your controller right away as a smaller company just starting out, they should be ready to be sent out right away. I've got controllers ready and waiting to be sent out or purchased from me directly.
air bear would you or would you not prefer this controller for fornite if you don't what battle beaver controller and customs would you prefer for better performs if you could text me back or even or make a video about best performs battle beaver for fornite i would really enjoy that one of you biggest fans
I would love to win that
Built mine but says 8 to 12 weeks wait time due to the fact I want custom built.
I bought aim controller before issues first week, send it back asked for a refund the build quality feels like a cheap PS4 controller of alibaba. I was disappointed I still have my scuf past 6 months still going strong. I wasted my money on aim controller was really upset and they don’t give you a refund even if you hate it, or came faulty they don’t care, thing abut aim controller is they offer lifetime warranty that’s the only good thing abut them, but are very fragile controllers they pay for the shipping return too.
But I know why that is they don’t use original controllers, but for the ps5 there’s no unofficial ps5 controller out there so they can’t go doing that. So if you do go aim controller only go for the ps5 controller.
The one I made was $600 I was expecting sumn like $250-$350
Been Waiting 2 months hopefully i get it soon.
I been waiting 3
I need one 😍
I'm on an 86 day and counting wait so far from BB... So wait times are DEFINITELY a "CON."
I'm about the same. I'm tired of waiting.
Im on 80 days they should at least give free shipping
@@kachito_taquito2537 I finally got mine after three months. Controller is great tbh
@@kachito_taquito2537 I agree 1000%! It's a great controller (got it last week finally) but it's not worth what I paid for it. Let me rephrase that... The PRODUCT ITSELF is absolutely worth the money; however, the product + 90 some days of my time, aren't even close to worth that much money. If I had to over again, I'd just buy another POS Xbox Elite v2 because that is WORTH the MONEY to NOT HAVE TO WAIT. You see what I'm saying? I'm willing to pay the premium for MY TIME. Because THAT [time] needs to be factored into the decision. Idk? Maybe it's just me. I'll tell you what though, SONY could dead all of this BS if they'd just get their fkn heads outta their asses and make their own controller WITH BACK BUTTONS!!?
Keeps saying sold out. I'll wait for evil. Plus I'm just realizing this isn't a ps5 controller 😳
Is the controller plug and play with PC?
cool still no reply
If you order your controller today you will get it sometime in 2022
Do they do ps5 pads?
Yessir
👍
I wish i can have a controller i will be very happy
The thing about the Dual Sense being the only controller for PS5 games does somewhat make sense though (even if it is a money grab).
The Dual Sense has two features that are not on the Dual Shock 4 - that being the haptic feedback (which delivers more precise rumble that would need to be coded for) and the adjustable trigger tension (which also has code for it).
For the haptics, it is a bit simple in that if the PS5 could use both the DS4 and the Dual Sense for PS5 games, then the DS4 rumble would be what is primarily coded into the game (and probably the only form of haptics knowing that most devs have tight schedules imposed upon them by their greedy publishers [God of War is an example - they had a tight schedule that did not allow them to flesh the game out as much as they wanted, hence why there are multiple reskinned troll bosses]). This would mean that a key selling point of the dual sense - that being how precise the haptics are - would be lost. The other problem would be that the current coding for the DS4 haptics has the rumble start early due to it being produced by a motor. The Dual Sense uses magnets instead to create haptics/ rumble (it basically uses a type of speaker) and can produce sensations almost immediately - which would be a big detriment for some games if the DS4 code was used.
The adjustable trigger tensions is also something that devs might ignore if the DS4 was also usable. Something similar happened with the Xbox 1's rumble triggers - albeit this was more due to the fact that the DS4 did not have them and thus they were ignored.
Aside from those two differences, the Dual Shock 4 and the Dual Sense are pretty similar in terms of internals (even their thumbstick modules are the same, only the grip itself is different lol).
i never buy a PS4 Smartpad Controller at all before
The increased thumb stick tension for me created really bad stick drift and over all having a more difficult time snapping/ turning on people so for those reason I would not recommend getting tension added
nice. send ps5 controller from Brazil?
Ordered mine on March 26 and I still haven't gotten anything. I'm sure the wait will be worth it but just beware when buying they say 8-9 week lead time but it's more like 12-14 weeks
which controller did u order p4 or p5?
$260+ for a controller that will get stick drift in about 1 yr, nope...
Another one!
Does this controller have thumb stick tension??
Do not get the interchangeable thumbsticks. They’re the same ones on the AIM controllers and they aren’t durable at all. You’re better off with Kontrol Freeks.
Why not if u get stick drift u can just change them out for like z sticks, xbox sticks, or even buy scuff sticks and put them on in seconds. Then have to buy a new controller when u get stick drift, cause u can’t change the sticks?
@@itztune5915 the thumbsticks aren’t the reason for stick drift, it’s the joystick.
The interchangeable sticks doesn’t completely change the joystick just the top half of the thumbstick.
@@Danxiong Wouldn’t u need just a Philips screwdriver to readjust the bottom half in place.
@@itztune5915 no you’d still have to take off the front shell in order to completely change the thumbstick and like I said the thumbsticks has nothing to do with the controller drifting. Learn from my experience and never get these interchangeable sticks. The part that connects the 2 piece together gets loose then eventually breaks.
@@Danxiong So what do u recommend to not get stick drift. Wouldn’t increase tension cause stick drift or will it wear down eventually
I have a battle beaver because of airbear and Everytime I watch a video that is sponsored by scuf I always make sure to say scuf sucks battle beaver all the way!
I would not recommend I got mine less than 2 months ago and it’s already bugging out on me I was waiting over 3 weeks for a controller that I paid hard earned cash for now I just can’t play games for a long time till I can earn cash since I am only 15.
Yes I know I got the Quick ship Ps4 controller type but it still was a decent amount of cash for my age
If i win this in giveaway i will cry
