Review on Get The Ultimate Gaming Experience With OUBANG Ymir Elite PS4 Controller With Turbo And Back Paddles by Israel Thurow

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good PS4 replacement controller

Overall, this Oubang PS4 Game Controller has some nice features and a couple minor issues.Pros:-bigger controller: the controller reminds me more of an Xbox style controller. wider and thicker than a stock Sony PS4 controller, but without the offset joystick setup. It’s easy to grip and hold.-textured bottom plastic: the top piece plastic is nothing to write home about; it’s a milky generic smooth plastic. The bottom piece though, has a nice cross-hatched pattern that makes for an easy and comfortable grip. The tapered ends of the controller handles also are long enough to grip well.-rear programmable buttons: I have some hand nerve damage, so I use the Sony Back Button accessory with my stock PS4 DS controller so I have buttons on the underside of the controller. This Oubang controller has two buttons on the underside that you can program, making it functionally equivalent to the Back Button setup.-USB C Charging port: yes! quick and easy charging with a cable everyone has!Cons:-rear buttons are too short: they work well, but only the very tip of my fingers can reach them, and I have large-ish hands. Ideally, these rear buttons should be longer for easier access.-battery rattle: at least I think it is the battery. tilting my Oubang controller lets me hear -something- sliding around inside the main section of the controller. It’s not the vibration motors, so the only other thing it could be is the internal battery. It should have a fitted spot for it, or at least some hot glue to keep it from rattling around.NOTE:The instruction manual is well done but confusing. it’s printed on both sides with essentially the same instructions? I finally figured out that based on the rear nameplate, I needed to follow the setup for the "Ymir” device layout. but then it also says "Ares” on the page, which is a different rear panel setup on the other side of the printed docs.Also the instructions for programming the rear buttons is a little whack. here’s my attempt at making it clearer:1. Long-press the Turbo and either the M1 or M2 button for 2s, and the RGB lighting around the Touch Pad will flash GREEN 2 times.-in the original directions, they say "press Turbo and M1/M2 button” which makes it seem like you need to press all three buttons together; instead, it should be Turbo & M1 or Turbo & M2 for programming.All in all, these are very minor issues for a good working and reasonably priced PS4 controller replacement; do give it a look!
