The market for Xbox controllers is fierce, with huge choice at every price point. From official Xbox offerings to licensed accessories from third party manufacturers. I've tested a lot, so I'm always looking for what makes a controller really stand out in its respective price bracket against its competitors. The HyperX Clutch Gladiate RGB pits itself against controllers from GameSir and PowerA to name a few, and unfortunately it does nothing to blow my mind and make me want to pick it up over those other brands.
The extra features like trigger locks and remappable buttons are nice to have, but not enough to keep me using a controller that just doesn't feel satisfying to use. It's not bad, but it's not great and unfortunately for HyperX there are just other brands doing it better right now.
