Tuact Venom X Plus Supreme FPS Mouse Controller Combo

I basically bought this one for my PS4. I hate playing shooters with controllers as I am used to mouse and keyboard thats why I avoided playing these games on consols yet. I decided to give this little tool a chance as I could get it for a good price.Setting it up is easy peasy and there is enought information about how to set it up available online. You really want to check some of the youtube howtos here. Mouse and "Nunchuck" are a little bigger than expected but this does not affect the awesome game experience.When I used it first to play FarCry4 I was not fully pleased as there was a slight lack I could not get fixed by changing the settings. However as FarCry4 works great with the controller for me it was not a bad thing (I did not primarily buy the Venom X for this game).When I played Wolfenstein and Battlefield 4 with the Venom X I noticed its full potential as these shooters are basically not aim assisted. There was no lack at all and it felt like playing with the standard devices of a computer. I did not really change the Venom X standard settings for these games (just increased the mouse sens). Setting the Venom X up for these games took me less than 2 minutes.Just a note: You can connect and disconnect the Venom X to your console at any time. There is no need to restart or turn it off.

It's nice when it works, but not for long. My first 2 Venom-X controllers each lasted about 6 months (weekend gaming). My 3rd was defective on arrival (due to manufacturing defects). The Venom-X gets 1 star, due to:(1) poor quality (made in China);(2) poor quality control (shipping defective units);(3) poor customer support (Tuact's Venom-X forum moderator "Skrilla" is corrupt and deceitful, if I'm being generous);(4) Tuact's idiotic business model, in which the sellers are responsible for handling warranty claims (authorized sellers can simply refuse to honor your warranty, as I discovered with "MonsterPrintz")....It's a part-time job, swapping parts, trying to maintain 1 working unit from my pile of Venom-X junk. The Venom-X is a money pit. To get a replacement silicone button-pad from Tuact, worth maybe $1 and weighing less than 1 g. (0.035 oz.), they quoted US$25.00 for the shipping alone (China to USA). Be careful with do-it-yourself repairs, which will void the warranty; if you break something, you'll pay dearly for it....The wand and mouse tend to fail a lot, but if you replace the wand with a keyboard (which I refuse to do), and if you replace the Venom-X mouse with a decent gaming mouse, then you might be OK (by using only the Venom-X transceiver box). The fewer Venom-X components you have, the more reliable your controller will be....My advice to Tuact:Make the wand more robust and sell replacement wands separately (on Amazon). In your Venom-X forum, get rid of Skrilla, he's ruining your company from within. Regarding the warranty, change your idiotic business model to get the sellers out of the loop. Sell replacement parts (e.g. button-pads) on Amazon, like other manufacturers already do, so we don't have to pay $25 to ship a small piece of rubber from China whenever something breaks.

The seller shipped immediately. The product works as expected for this type of product. The ability to add a PC mouse and keyboard and map the commands is nice with a few extras such as turbo and sensitivity tweaking. Overall this is a good product. The only drawbacks are the limited functionality of the console. Commands are very limited within the game software so you don't have a full range of button mapping. Also, the analog inputs for the joysticks are hard bound to the mouse's X/Y Axis. Also, the requirement to remove the device from the console, flip a switch and, plug it into the pc, then load software, and THEN begin mapping commands. Once, you are done you have to flip the switch, plug it out of the pc, then back into the console. It's a ton of work to get this thing working properly. In the end, I regret not getting the XIM4. The XIM4 It's simply a better button mapping interface through smart phone than the Venom X. Not to mention adjusting sensitivity is just as tedious on the Venom X. One consolation for the Venom X is the joystick/chuck which comes with it. It's nice to have for those more comfortable with a joystick for the left hand. If you prefer a console over the PC, but still like the mouse feel, this product finishes as a strong #2 option.
