hey guys this is Austin so there are a ton of different controllers to choose from but which one is the best find out I gathered a few of the best ones around and to start with we have the PlayStation 4 Dual Shock 4 this is a big improvement over the last generation however there are a couple other options that you might want to look at including the Xbox one elite now this is a control that honestly I think is probably one of the best that I've ever tried you have customizable things like the d-pad you can adjust how the sticks are there's a lot that you can do even with paddles on the back however we can even take it a step farther if you really want to get on that customization game Xbox has a design lab option so essentially what this allows to do is take a standard Xbox one controller which is already good and pretty much customize it however you want and by customizing however you want I mean give it a different paint job you actually can't get all of the extra buttons and stuff from the elite money unless you get one of these but that's really you designed it we built it well let's see what I actually designed alright it's orange so this is the masterpiece of a controller that we made it's got that whole creamsicle vibe with the orange get the orange grips and the white everywhere well you have a little bit of grey on the thumb sticks as well as the buttons and if you want to take it one step farther you can add a message to the controller so I added my gamertag also my twitter and my facebook and my history on to Felicio checking out what's in the description but on top of that you can also get on your controller and of course since this is a standard Xbox one controller it comes with double-a batteries because I don't know Microsoft hates rechargeables I have no idea if you really want to take things to the next level you can get a scuf controller now this is the version for the Xbox however there also is a ps4 version did you order this controller I don't know if I actually know what this controller looks like this is so this is a Ken's special right here I picked out the awesome creamsicle look of this one this scuf controller I have no idea what it looks like oh no oh no Ken what is this what is this can we okay so it is the ugliest color all time mmm good that is yeah okay um so if you want to scuff controller that looks like this your boy can all hook you up I guess do you see that scuf controller its red and black why don't you get one of these look what look you know what this feels like this feels like when you go in to like Subway and okay what options would you like and you have that moment of panic of like I want anchovies and spinach and Bologna and the the sweetbreads and then you get this and then you wonder where you at roughly I should you like the texture on the back of this thing it's very you know it feels almost like a like a truck bedliner if you ever felt one of those like kind of rubbery things um that's definitely not going anywhere something else you get with scuff are paddles so this is one of the things you can customize before you order the controller so we went all out and got all four but these are mapable to say like your face buttons or basically whatever you want I believe I mean to be fair this is like by far the most expensive controller here so what expect it to be cool but this is Larry what's cool is all of these controllers will not only work on the console but also for PC so on the Xbox one side of things they all work out of the box if you plug them in via USB in the newer ones such as the Xbox one design lab controllers have Bluetooth built in if you don't want to use bluetooth you can also pick up the adapter so this is just a little USB wireless adapter for the Xbox one so even with some of the older controllers that don't have bluetooth plug this into your computer and you're good to go the same thing applies for ps4 so if you pick up the DualShock 4 adapter for PC it actually works for Mac too if you want to do that for some reason then you should pick up this guy plug it in and you're up and running with the DualShock 4 now that's what you want the advantages of the DualShock 4 is that it's cheap so right now it's around $45 or so but you usually can find them for around 50 and that's cheaper than much anything else here and of course you can get a standard Xbox one controller for about that price Lucian's you get into the custom options it gets pricing so the design lab controller is $80 now that does give you full customization of all the colors and buttons and everything and from $90 you can get your name engraved on it so it's not that much of a price premium however when you get up to the elite it gets pricey this guy is a hundred and fifty dollars mind you it does come with this carrying case which not only is a nice place to store your controller but you also get a ton of different options for it so for example you can add your paddles which just pop right on here and what's cool is all these are completely magnetic so if we want we can get all of our paddles and with the Xbox one elite you actually have a button right up top here so you can slide between two different profiles so that's easy and on the Xbox you can actually select tons of different profiles and have them saved so for example we can have a custom controller set up for say Forza even one for Call of Duty one for battlefield whatever you want the idea that everything on the elite controller is based on magnets is really cool too so if you want say a domes thumb stick you can easily swap that on or if you want something a little bit taller it just pops right on you're good to go and like I said earlier the scuff is definitely going to cost you so if you just want more of an aesthetic build some kind of like the design lab you're talking about and around $120 range however if you really want all the bells and whistles with the custom grips and the paddles and all that kind of stuff this thing is gonna cost you the big question though is with all these controllers here sure it's nice to see which one looks the coolest but which one is actually the best one for gaming can you gonna like make it Pier at a rate yeah just a bruise right there this is gonna like you ignore all like my mouth noises like add actually like a cool sound effect and then like as I wave my hands I got a puff of smoke and then the computer peers got that so to start with we have the design lab controller now even though on the outside this is a custom controller on the inside it's pretty much exactly the same as any other Xbox controller because of that it's solid so while sure it doesn't have some of the cool paddles of the yeah illipe what's cool about the design lab controllers is that since they're all based on the updated Xbox one controller with bluetooth and the headphone jack it means that while you can still use this with the PC and the standard wireless adapter if your computer has bluetooth you can just pair it right up and it's going to work right out of the box next we have the elite controller so they're actually a couple of advantages to this and one of the more subtle things is just the feel of the controller so it's a little bit heavier and I really like the slightly kind of that's a grippy sort of texture but it's like a very soft rubber um it doesn't sound like it would be good on a controller but it actually feels nice next we have the scuf controller so this one's a little bit more of a mixed bag on one hand it feels solid so I like the grip and the way the thumb sticks our way it actually is really nice however the thing is you're paying a lot for this and honestly it doesn't really feel that much different than another Xbox controller the thing is I prefer the way the elite controller does customization so say I'm playing horizon 3 right now and I only want two paddles well so easy just taking them off or say swapping thumb sticks out whereas with the scuff what you order is pretty much what you get last but not least we have the dual shock for now if you're on a PC you actually have a lot of choices how are on the ps4 it's pretty much this or a scuff now on the PC you can get the dual shock for to work and of course it's not a bad controller but it's going to require some work like the Xbox controller if your computer has bluetooth you can pair it that way and otherwise you can pick up the wireless adapter or use a USB cable however unlike the Xbox controller it is not natively supported in Windows so what that means is either you have to rely on a couple rare games that actually natively support it which is not easy to find or you need to use a program such as ds4 for Windows now that's going to let this emulate an Xbox 360 controller and as you can see it works just fine once you get it set up but it is not as smooth as just plugging it in and getting it going like the Xbox one so what is the best game controller now if you hadn't noticed it didn't include every controller of all time and that's for good reason these are my favorites however if I had to pick just one it would be the standard Xbox one this is controller I feel like is a really nice sweet spot of something that's nice and comfortable to use it has a lot of cool features this works pretty much everywhere that you want to gain if you have a little bit more money to spend the elite controller is a good option but my biggest problem with it is that while I do prefer to the Xbox controller it's triple the price and honestly it's hard to justify so I'm curious what's your guys's favorite controller definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below and of course if you guys want to check out any of the ones I took a look at in this video the links will be in the description anyway guys thank you so much for watching and I will catch you in the next one
