EvoFox Elite X Wired Gaming Controller for PC with 2 Programmable Macro Back Buttons, Adjustable Dual Vibration Motors,Turbo Mode,Analog Triggers, High Precision joysticks,Low Latency Plug and Play,Translucent Shell Controller for pc

PRODUCT TYPE This review is for the wired controller. The wireless one seems to have some problems with low vibration and poor connectivity, so I didn't bother to go with it. FEATURES Triggers: They don't jump from 0 to 1. They're mostly linear from 0.00 to 1.00. Turbo: Unlike some controllers that offer turbo button but don't function properly (looking at you, cosmic byte interstellar), turbo is pretty consistent here. However, there's a slight mistake in the manual where the instruction to clear the turbo was turbo+clear+button but the actual combo is just clear+button. Apparently turbo speed can be adjusted with turbo+dpad buttons, but I'm yet to try. Macros: There are two under-buttons that can be used to store and trigger macros. But the macros live only until the controller is plugged out, they're probably stored in-memory which is erased upon power loss. Macros also have some limitations on this controller. Two buttons can't be used in combination (ex: RT+A, LB+Y, etc.). Even though DPAD buttons, AXBY, LB, RB, LT and RT can be used while creating a macro, only 8 buttons are allowed in 1 macro. Vibration: Its vibration strength is quite decent. You have two very small buttons underneath the controller that can be used to increase, decrease, or even turn off the vibration. This is a great feature and would be nice if more controllers adopted this approach. An extra treat is that since the material is a bit translucent, you can see the motors spinning when the controller vibrates. Compatibility: It has both X-Input and D-Input modes, for legacy support. I've tested it on Windows 11 with X-Input in Forza Horizon 5, NFS Unbound and Ryujinx emulator.. no issues encountered. BUILD Its a plastic build that's sturdy enough. Its material is translucent, so you can see the motors spin during vibration. But its not translucent enough to make it look like a novelty toy. The type-c cable locks in to some extent, so it won't easily come out if pulled accidentally. But a deliberate pull will still get the cable out nontheless. The triggers seem sturdy too and have a good feel to them. LB and RB buttons make a mouse type click sound when pressed. Its almost as loud as a gaming mouse click, something you might wanna consider if you have others living in your room. DPAD is quite firm and feels soft but solid to press. AXBY don't feel cheap either, but makes some sound when pressed. Its to be expected as almost every controller does. Analog sticks feel strong and have good grip over them. Gamepad testing showed around 5-6.5% of error after testing a few times. PRICING This item's launch price was 999, I was a bit hesitant to purchase it for 1199, which is a 20% increase just after 3 months of launching. However, considering the alternatives, it still is a good deal. CONS The indicator lights in the middle stand out of your room is dark. It'd be nice if we're able to turn all the controller lights off with some combination. Especially since some controllers already offer that functionality. Its body lacks rubber grip. The matte finishing helps to an extent but, rubber grip is almost necessary for longer gaming sessions. But in terms of hygeine and odour, plastic can be easily sanitized, unlike rubber. To each their own for picking here. SUMMARY This is overall a great controller with lots of features at this price point. Even with a couple of compromises here and there, it's still the best in the market in 1k price segment. I'll try to remember to update this review if the controller fails in the future.

It works fine, vibration works fine, easy to conenct and disconnect, wire is very long so it's comfortable to play from any reasonable distance. However, the buttons sort of get a little stuck from time to time. It's a little annoying to manage during battles. Otherwise, the controller is great, and this might be this particular one's issue.

I’ve been using this gaming controller for a while now, and honestly, it’s been a great experience. The build quality feels solid and durable, and the buttons are very responsive, which makes gameplay smooth and enjoyable. The grip is comfortable even during long gaming sessions, so there’s no hand fatigue. What I really liked is how easy it was to set up—it connected quickly without any issues. The joystick control is precise, and the triggers feel very natural while playing racing and action games. Overall, it offers excellent performance for its price and definitely enhances the gaming experience. I would highly recommend this controller to anyone looking for a reliable and budget-friendly gaming accessory.

First of all the people who say they got stick drift either did not take care of it, even the most expensive controllers get stick drift due to dust, that or they probably got a bad batch ( which is very rare ). Now the controller is feature packed and has great quality, you wont feel its cheap when holding it. And its been about 6 months since i bought it. Things i liked: - back buttons - turbo button - settings to control vibration intensity - dual mode, really great for older games and emulators What i found inconvenient: - The buttons on the controller feel a little loose and out of place, which for most is not a problem but i pdrsonally feel that it ruins the overall experience.. In essence this is a very great and value for money controller, and if you are on a budget and want a buy and forget experience ( just take good care of it, keep it in its box hehe ) then its perfect. Would love to see what else evofox will come up!

Writing this review after 1 year of purchase, let me be very clear, I'm a casual gamer and i used this controller less then average gamer, i was very cautious using it because of the fear of stick drift, i handled this control with good care like not exerting too much pressure on thumb sticks not smashing buttons force fully and all, but even then the i got STICK DRIFT like extreme DRIFT so much so it it's practically unusable at playing games, it's D-pad up button is also showing weird characteristics like sometime the button becomes stiff and i had to press a bit harder for it to register action. i suggest not to buy this controller because of aesthetics instead buy any other controller with better reliability, a controller with at least Hall-Effect sticks. spend 200-300 more if you had to or else you will regret later just like me. ps- The connecting cable that come with the controller is absolute pathetic piece of junk, it stopped working after a week and i had to order another cable for playing.

The controller is good but there is a big problem sitck drift its very frustrating for me its good i mean but the sticks could be more durable and should have more a low possibility of stick droft.

Get's the job done, value for money at this price

Have been using for months..the controller is good. But, the type c cable which comes along with it stopped working after few months, had to replace it.
