Hi Everyone!

We have received several questions about the button actuation force of the Proteus Controller, and we've been conducting extensive testing to provide you with accurate data.

Testing

Our engineering team has been testing the button actuation force to ensure it meets our high standards for performance and comfort as well as to help users to make an informed decision on whether the buttons for the current version of the Proteus Controller will work for them.

Here are some photos of the tests!

Button Actuation Force Details

Based on our tests, here are the findings:

XYAB Peripheral: 140+/-10gf

Xbox Peripheral: 140+/-10gf

DPAD Peripheral (tactile): 250+/-50gf

One Button Peripheral (tactile): 250+/-50gf

Trigger (LT|RT): 90+/-10gf

Trigger Bumper (LB|RB): 95+/-5gf

User Feedback

We value your feedback, which has been instrumental in our testing process. Many users have expressed a preference for a certain level of resistance in button presses, which we've considered in our initial design. Your insights are crucial for our continuous improvement.

Users have also requested lighter button actuation force options and we are doing R&D around some solutions here, so keep an eye out!

Get Involved

We encourage you to keep sharing your thoughts and experiences with us. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us deliver the best gaming experience possible and we are working hard to provide the best solution we can! 

This information will be added to the website in the next few days.

Please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions and stay turned for more dev updates soon!
