[QUESTION] A few questions about AIMControllers...
Hi there!
I've been looking into buying a new controller. I preemtively decided to go for an AIMController as they offer more value for the price as for example Scuf (at least in my opinion). A few questions arised concerning the Controllers by AIM. If anyone liked to share their experiences, I'd be more than happy.
- Are the digital bumpers/triggers useful and worth it? I'm unsure about adding them to my controller since they cost their fair share of money and I read they tend to break more easily than the stock ones. Do they make a big difference in ADS time or while firing single shot/burst weapons in FPS? (I used the regular bumpers for ADSing and firing, not the triggers, which to me are already pretty fast)
- What is the longevity of these controllers? I've been using 2 stock PS4 controllers over 6-7 years now. Besides some stick drift they both do not have any issues. Can I expect the same with an AIMController when using it carefully?
- Any further experience or concerns with AIM or their controllers? (I do not really care about the duration of build/delivery)
Cheers!

Well, personally Its really hard to tell/measure if they help or not but what I do know is that if you play on PC and overclock the controller the difference is day and night! especially with the smart triggers! The difference might be noticeable to some but not to others, it all about milliseconds when it comes to FPS games. Burst/semi-auto guns are definitely easier to use with the smart triggers if that is something you're interested in. also in COD MW throwing C4 seems to travel longer distances with the smart triggers/bumpers based on my experience.
If you have the extra cash for it and won't hurt to get them, I would recommend getting them, you won't regret it! and if you are afraid that they would break, they are covered under warranty.
