![]() ![]() At the time of writing, the controller is £137.50, or around $150. The price of the TCP Pro is where this controller really stands out. None of the thumbsticks that come with the TCP Pro are domed or have any real difference in shape other than small cosmetic patterns, though the more expensive TCP Ultimate does come with domed sticks should you want them. ![]() I know that AR players often prefer larger sticks, especially on the left stick, and fortunately there’s nothing stopping you opting for different heights on each stick should you find that comfortable. I preferred the short sticks but I predominantly play in an SMG, objective-heavy role in FPS games. There are short, medium and high thumbsticks. ![]() This is fancy marketing speak for saying you can change the height of your thumbsticks, i.e. The TCP Pro also comes with three sets of customizable thumbsticks, and this is dubbed the ‘Interchangeable Analog System (IAS)’ by The Controller People. ![]() I was very impressed with the ClickSticks initially and I used the controller for 2-3 weeks before this happened, with no issues whatsoever up to that point. I contacted The Controller People about this issue and it turns out that all it needs is a 0.7mm Allen key to tighten it back up. Unfortunately, the cover on the right ClickStick had issues sitting in place properly after I put it back on and it led to issues with the button failing to register. I also pulled the ClickSticks off and put them back on just to see what was underneath. I gave the ClickSticks a few hard squeezes, nothing that would intentionally damage the product, but just enough to put it through its paces. Part of my review process is to give products a little bit of a hard time – I pull things, twist things, flick things and bop things – just to make sure nothing will easily break.Īs I only test for a few weeks, I always want to make sure that products can last for a few years if I’m going to recommend them. However, I did come across a problem during routine product testing. In fact, I’d say they were the best back buttons I’ve used on a PS5 controller to date. When I first started using the TCP Pro, I was surprisingly pleased with how comfortable the ClickSticks were to use. The ClickSticks can be mapped to any button on the controller that you like and it’s extremely easy to map – or remap – any time you wish. That’s my polite way of saying they’re quite ugly – but they’re there to do a job, in theory. I don’t think I’m offending anyone when I say the ClickSticks are designed for function and not form. With the TCP Pro, the back buttons stick out quite a bit – so much so that they’re called ‘ClickSticks’ by TCP. However, back buttons alone are far from a unique design choice these days the majority of pro-level controllers feature buttons or paddles on the rear side. The main selling point of a controller with back buttons is usually, well…the back buttons. The good news is that they don’t have any pre-travel or post-travel, meaning you don’t have any distance to press the button in before it’s activated, and it doesn’t continue pressing in after it’s activated either, which leads to a very responsive feel. On the TCP Pro, they feel a bit like a mouse click in terms of the distance that they need to be pressed in to activate, but they don’t sound like them. On the Battle Beaver Pro Pick, the triggers feel and sound like mouse clicks. Whilst some competitor products also feature this on the L1 and R1 buttons, the TCP Pro opts to go with it on the back triggers alone – and the more expensive TCP Ultimate is the same.įor me, it feels a little strange that the L1 and R1 now press in further than the triggers, but it’s nothing that I couldn’t get used to in a short matter of time.Īs for the sound of the digital triggers, it’s not quite got that super-satisfying, mouse-like crispness. On FPS games, this means it’s much quicker to start firing as you’re essentially removing a chunk of input delay. Instead of having a range of motion when pressing L2 and R2, the digital triggers click in like a mouse would. The TCP Pro is a PS5 controller with ‘mouse click’ triggers. ![]()
