Frequently Asked Questions

What's the current code Expel discount?

Discount code "Expel" is 20% on carts over $200, and 30% on carts over $300.

However, depending upon the current sale on the Aim Controllers website, the discount percentage may change.

The current "No Limit" sale allows you to build your own XBOX, PS5, or PS4 controller with as many upgrades as you want, and pay only $209 (plus shipping) with code Expel. This sale ends at the end of April.

Why isn't code Expel working?

Depending upon the current sale on the Aim Controllers website, the discount code may work differently, or not give any additional discount.

This only happens during very large sales. Just use code Expel to give credit for the referral on the controller, please.

How long until I get my controller?

Without choosing the "Speedy Aim" building / shipping option, it may take upwards of 21 business days for the controller to be built, as well as 5-7 days for shipping, depending upon your location.

This is due to all controllers being hand-built, and meticulously crafted to your specifications. You may find "Pro Controller" default options ship faster than fully custom controllers.

Recommended PS5 Custom Build?

If you'd like to go above and beyond the PS5 "Pro Controller," this is what Expel recommends:

  • Front Shell Panel: Expel

  • Share / Options: Red

Does Expel recommend "Hall Effect" sticks?

While Hall Effects in theory are an awesome advancement in controller technology, Expel does not use them in his personal controller. Nor does he recommend them because of how they work.

Hall Effects are built with magnets that are meant to perfectly align your analog sticks at all times. However, they can easily be misaligned by any outside magnet strong enough to pull the ones in the controller.

This can often happen during shipping, or even with a nearby magnet on your desk or gaming area. Due to this, it can cause multiple issues with your aim, and is not really worth it.

This isn't to say you shouldn't upgrade to a controller with Hall Effects, but just know the downfalls of the technology.

Additionally, they're much more sensitive, requiring you to almost half your normal sensitivity to stay on par with your previous aim.

Recommended XBOX Custom Build?

If you'd like to go above and beyond the XBOX "Pro Controller," this is what Expel recommends:

  • Front Shell Panel: Expel
  • Action Buttons: Black
  • D-Pad: Black
  • Share / Options: Black
  • Left Base: Black
  • Right Base: Black
  • Left Stick: XONE Black Small
  • Right Stick: XONE Black High
  • Aim Grip: Black
  • Spider Action: Black Remapping Spider Action V3
  • Smart Bumpers: Yes - Up to You
  • Vibration Motors: No(-50g)

Can you use PS5 controllers on PS4?

PS5 controllers do not have off the shelf connectivity with the PlayStation 4. For PS5 controllers to work on PS4, a Bluetooth adapter is required.
