Collective Minds Strike Pack F.P.S. Dominator Controller Adapter with MODS & Paddles for PS4

Ever think people buy positive reviews for their product? I think someone is doing the opposite for this one and putting negative reviews on here.I first looked at a Scuf controller 5 years ago. I filled out what controller I wanted and almost laughed when I saw the price was $180. How did it cost $130 for them to just put a couple tiny plastic paddles on the back of a controller?I never bought one and refused to because that price was ridiculous. So I see this Strike Pack a couple months back. I read reviews for a couple weeks and watched videos and finally decided to order it.It came in the mail and I set it up and plugged it in. It didn’t work. Long story short I fiddled around for an hour and realized the USB wasn’t even fully plugged in to the controller.I read some people say that you really had to PUSH HARD on the USB until it clicked a second time, but I underestimated how hard you had to push. So I really gave it some elbow grease, it snapped in, and ouilla it worked.It took 30 seconds to sign in and map the buttons and I was off.The game I’m playing is the one everybody is sick of hearing about, Fortnite. But the very first game I was able to jump around and build and shotty at the same time without moving my thumbs. It was amazing.Now here we are a couple months later and I’m twice as good as I was then. I’ve won a bunch of Solos and have no problem outplaying most people because I don’t have to move my thumbs around. This thing has worked amazing and it’s incredibly cheaper than anything else like it out there.I didn’t want to write the review because I have an advantage over everyone on console by using this thing. But at the same time I hate that Scuf has a monopoly on modded controllers and charges 400% of what this thing costs. And it’s also odd to me that the negative reviews on here will end up saying they should “Just buy a Scuf” instead.So if you’d rather spend $40 instead of $150+ I’d say give this thing a try. You won’t regret it

I think there are some people who gave up too easy when trying this product. I have purchased 2 scuf controllers ( current gen and previous gen) both had glitches within 24 hours of opening. Had to send first one back for repair after using for 2 days. 90 day Warranty expired before trouble resurfaced. 2nd scuf started glitching after 3 months also.I can't speak yet about the reliability of strike pack, hopefully it is better than scuf. For the price, I think the performance & value are exceptional. Admittedly the click-on attachment has a little play to it, so the paddles don't feel as solid & high quality as the scuf. However, the ergonomics of the strike pack design are superior in my hands. Comfort is very personal, but i think if you haven't already played on a controller with paddles you should give it a couple weeks to get used to it. Also, i found that i had to change my grip a little to use the scuf & it was uncomfortable after playing for seen hour. The strike pack paddles are in the perfect spot for my middle fingers, no adjustment of grip necessary for me. If you play with middle fingers always on L2 & R2 it might be tough to reach paddles with ring fingers.I did run into a little trouble with initial connection. A few tips...Usb plug can be difficult to get all the way in, don't force it but make sure it's all the way in.I have the best luck initially pairing a controller by first turning on the ps4 with the button on the front of the ps4, then turn on the controller, choose your login name with x button, then plug in controller, then push ps button. You should see your name choice screen again. Now choose your name again. You should be paired. After that, assigning buttons is cake. I don't mess with mods.I usually don't bother with writing reviews, but i feel this product is genius terms of it's design & function, & i hope this product can bring scuff some serious competition.4/1/17 Update... I've broken 2 of these units since November. Still love the concept and pricing of this product, and think it's great for introducing people to shortcuts on the back of the controller. However, if you play fps games everyday, the paddles probably won't last long. I just bought the Nacon revolution pro controller... So far it is superior to the strike pack.
