Keep in mind, though, many online games consider using these optional mods to be cheating. In single-player games without any online scoreboard, sure, use the mods however you like.

Taking this even further, MegaModz offers a selection of individual mods and packs which can dramatically change your play style, with some undoubtedly giving you a leg up over your online opponents. These kinds of settings would typically be frowned upon as it's essentially giving you automatic button mashing at the perfect interval by pressing and holding one back paddle. The shortest time you can select between a press is 50ms and the longest is three seconds. This is simulating a rapid press and can be further customized by changing the timing in seconds, milliseconds, and 10s of milliseconds. Where it gets interesting though is with the sub-mode option, which allows you to have that remapped button continuously pressed and released repeatedly so long as you're holding the back paddle. Generally, these straight remaps are considered fair for online and competitive play, as they are only triggering a stock button. The controller's modchip handles everything and you do not need to make any adjustments to your settings in-game. In addition to being the easiest and most intuitive to set up, I also found it the most useful overall. The most popular type of mod is a set of customizable rear buttons or paddles. I do still need to refer to the manuals to figure out what the color-coded LEDs mean as far as telling me which mods are enabled and which button is mapped to each back paddle.

That said, having used this controller for a few weeks, simple changes like enabling or disabling mods and remapping macros that I frequently use are easy now. Having some kind of app to switch and configure the mods from your phone would be a great addition. However, at times it felt like homework and took a lot of valuable time away from actually playing my games. I really appreciate the level of detail and explanation offered by Megamodz, because, with patience and determination, I was able to learn a lot. There is a big learning curve that at times can be frustrating and take away from the whole point of using this controller - making things easier.įurthermore, each mod has its page dedicated to explaining how it works and how to change its various settings.
