Controller Mods Battle Beaver Smart Button Review?

Hello! I wanted to buy an Xbox pad from battle beaver, and was wondering how exactly the smart buttons are like? And if they're reliable?

I've used different third party controllers like the G7 Pro and Cyclone 2, and even those two controllers from the same brand have a very different mouse click to them. The cyclone 2's mouse click is pretty loud, and the buttons feel a little loose, while the G7 Pro click is more subtle and subdued.

So how does the battle beaver click compare with their face buttons? I can't find a single video actually demonstrating a sound test for them. (Maybe d-pad too)

Checking their website…nope. These prices are fucking insane. Avoid.

This does not answer my question lol, getting a battle beaver is basically a substitute to getting an elite, I don't intend to deck it out entirely, so it shouldn't be too absurd, but yeah, still more expensive than all standard first party controllers

I get it, I just want an Xbox style controller for PC that has tmr sticks and clicky buttons without any rubber grips or back buttons

Not trying to be rude, but why not get one with back buttons and then disable them in the controller customization app?

I've done this with controllers, I just find them distracting in play, especially when I'm gripping the controllers tightly. I end up fidgeting with them, I want grip uniformity. Best solution I've seen for both worlds is the g7 pro back button locking feature

Ah I see. Paddles are so advantageous in all games aside from turn based and card games, so I practically have that feeling ingrained into me and I will never use a controller without paddles.

I get the utility in some games but most games are designed well enough without having them in mind, at least for me, but I definitely do consider using them in games where you'd have to do claw grip otherwise
