The BINBOK Ultra Pro controller retails for $56.99 in the US .
The controller, made of durable, scratch-resistant plastic with rubberized grips, features a wide center front shell.
This is the first controller I’ve had to look at the instructions for more than once.
I studied the instructions several times when wanting to switch the controller from my Steam Deck to the Switch.
Though I’m sure, this comes more naturally with daily use.
I do wonder if they could have simplified the design somewhat.
There are a total of 25 details for the instructions to point out on this controller
Holy buttons Batman!
Stay with me here; I’m still talking about a controller, I promise.
The BINBOK Ultra Pro controller excels in the comfort category.
You simply need to choose which you prefer.
Depending on the game, one jot down of trigger might be better suited than the other.
These buttons are clicky and tactile, giving you clear feedback and fast activation.
They are also durable and reliable, using microswitches instead of rubber domes.
With a wide centre, and dull grey and black colorway, this isn’t the most attractive of controllers, even with the RGB lighting.
The mechanical ABXY buttons are a standout feature of this controller.
If you like your buttons clicky, you will love them.
The dead zone mode reduces the input delay and makes the sticks feel more responsive.

Lastly, the 8BitDo Ultimate controller is $49.99 with an additional charging dock.
While aesthetically pleasing, it only adds rear buttons as extra features.
The BINBOK stands out in terms of comfort and functionality, making it a preferred choice.
The BINBOK Ultra Pro controller has grips that rival the comfort of the Xbox Elite Series 2 and Core controllers
Don’t let its looks deceive you; it feels great.

The mechanical ABXY buttons are a delight, even if they are Nintendo layout…
The GameSir T4 Cyclone Pro has the Hall Effect joysticks and comes in cheaper than the BINBOK, but it’s missing some other key features
BINBOK isn’t a brand I’d heard of before, but it’s one I’ll be paying attention to now.
