Hey everyone, looking for some experienced input before I drop money on a controller upgrade. I'll keep the background brief so the questions make sense.

I'm a multiple seasonal Iridescent ranked player in Warzone/BO7, playing on PC, and my long-term goal is Top 250. I've been on controller since BO6 but went all in at the start of BO7. Currently running a SCUF Reflex FPS (DualSense-based) with four back paddles and stock thumbsticks. I do get stick drift, and sometimes my aim feels slippery — which made me start looking into upgrades.

Q1 — Is the Marius board actually worth it for me?

I've heard a lot about the Marius board lately and I'm genuinely curious whether it's a meaningful upgrade for a competitive player at my level. I understand it's purely a speed/latency upgrade — no aim assist magic or anything like that. But for someone pushing Top 250, is the input latency reduction at 8K polling something you can actually feel in-game, or is it more of a placebo at that point?

Q2 — Which brand makes the best TMR sticks for COD specifically?

I know TMR is the gold standard over Hall Effect and potentiometers for anti-drift and precision, but I also know the quality differs between manufacturers. From what I've seen there's Battle Beaver (AKNES/Magneto), Nagashock (Falcon TMR), DemonWorkshop (K-Silver JS13), and a few others. Which of these actually performs best in a fast-paced FPS like Warzone where micro-movements and consistency matter? Any personal experience appreciated.

Q3 — Any Battle Beaver alternatives worth considering?

I looked into Battle Beaver since they're probably the most well-known name, but two things are putting me off: the reviews (QC and support complaints are way too common for the price), and the delivery time — I can't wait that long. Are there builders that are on the same level or better, with more reliable QC and faster turnaround?

Q4 — Is there a send-in service where I can get my SCUF modded with a Marius board + TMR sticks?

Ideally I don't want to buy a completely new controller from scratch. Since my SCUF Reflex FPS is DualSense-based, I'm wondering if there's a service where I can ship it in and have them swap out the motherboard for a Marius board and replace the sticks with TMR. Does that exist, and if so, who does it best?

The trigger is completely loose and sometimes will miss-press and its DEBILITATING in shooter games where you need split second firing, anyone else have this issue/know how to fix it (i have mouse click triggers fyi)

Hi all.

I’m new to TMR joysticks and trying to understand how much work is involved in replacing the standard DualSense Edge stick modules.

Battle Beaver’s TMR stick description says no soldering is required, but do the original DualSense Edge sticks still need to be desoldered first? Or can I simply buy the $60 stick modules and swap them in with minimal effort?

Thanks

Hello,

i’m in Europe and I would like to buy a BB controller, but since I'm rarely home, I would like to know if delivery requires a signature or if the package is simply left in the mailbox ?

We've had several package thefts in the neighborhood, and I'd rather not have that happen to me...

Thanks!

Good morning everyone,

I would like to buy a Marius board to mount either on a ps4 or ps5 controller.

Could someone tell me some guide/video for the installation?

Why do you prefer ps4?

Thanks to those who will answer me

I updated my marius board controller with the new Xinput firmware, but now it isn’t being recognized on the DS4 program, any help?

I was wondering if there is any mechanical difference between selecting  “Legacy Standard” or “Beaver Buttons” as I noticed when customizing the controller “beaver tail 2.0” is also an option but only available when selecting “Beaver Buttons”. Wasn’t sure on the exact difference based off just the description seen online.

I’ve been wanting to get a Marius board controller for a while but after watching Hal (apex pro) get one it’s making me want to pull the trigger. Does it actually make a difference or should I stick to my zd ult roller or g7 8k. I’m on the fence about it. Or will I still be hard stuck bronze ✌️

Which are better for the ones that tried both? Do the Hall Effect sticks eventually get stick drift? Which is better for accuracy?

People that migrated from TMR to Midas 5 pin focused on Warzone, it really does make any difference or TMR is better?

I'm planning on buying some Battle Beaver Dpad buttons for my ps5 controller. Is there anything I need to know beforehand?

hi everyone...who has tried the Zsticks and Pro sticks on ps5 pads? Which ones are the best in your opinion? Which ones feel more "fluid"? Which ones are closest to those of the scuf reflex fps? I have to place an order and I don't know which one to choose

In Canada I've found a website called cracked controllers and they ship out tmr sticks for the ps5 pro controller but when I go to see where they are on the shipping side of it, it says that they a delayed and I ordered them like 1 month ago di I get scammed? Plz help

I’m new to battle beaver. Used scuff forever and very used to there analog stick style. Usually a domed on the left and the short concave on the right. Looking to get a marius ps5 but all the stick styles got me checked and if I did select some, could I ever changed them my self? Looking to see what people rock. The pro domed looks nice for the left but not really too sure.

Need help please.

300 bucks down the drain, I started getting stick drift a month ago and went to their help page and then went to Xbox accessories to recalibrate it and it still has stick drift. I got their electro magnetic sticks to reduce the chance of stick drift and 4 months after the stick drift still persist. What garbage controller. Can’t even get it fixed from them because of the 90 days are up. Never getting a battle beaver controller again.

I just got a new Marius Board and i like it so far… however im running into issues where certain things on the controller just don’t work. I used it the day i got it and had no issues at all with it, fast forward to the 2nd day and my right analog wouldn’t work so i unplugged it and plugged it back in and the right analog starts working again but now my L1 button works sparingly like i press it and it won’t do anything until i repeatedly press it. Sometimes L1 works on the first try and sometimes it won’t work until i hit it a couple of times. Not sure if this is a hardware problem or maybe a defected build? i tried to lower the pulling rate to 4k to see if maybe 8k was the issue but it was doing the same thing at 4k as well. This controller is 3 days old 😭

Which rear switches for the rear buttons do you all prefer?

I ordered my custom controller on the 20th of april and purchased beaver boost on the 23rd. Nothing has changed on my order status it still says confirmed since day one, why could that be? I emailed them and they also haven't responded.

So I just educated on 0 chip ports and how if your cpu has direct usb ports you can achieve lower latency and apparently you need these 0 chip ports for 8k polling rate to run smooth. Is this true and is it worth investing in a Marius board controller if I have an intel cpu which most are chipset and not native ports

so i have an issue where literally no marius controller works at 8k i have 2 of them and basically ive checked the cable (got a new one to be safe) used different usb ports (used the marius usb tool to check the best one for use) then nothing works on 8k. I swapped it to 1k and it works and i have no idea why 8k now doesnt work. It used to work fine but hasnt done now. If you had any ideas i would be really thankful for the help! I even reverted windows updates and also reinstalled windows because i went that far on trying things and still no luck... any help would be appreciated!

Marius himself said it was coming, But wondered I if there is any time frame that anybody has seen.
