CODLOCKERTwo different things get called a “controller” in pro settings lists, and mixing them up makes the numbers misleading. Marius is a board fitted inside a controller: it is what gives the pad native 8 kHz polling. Battle Beaver, SCUF and Demonwork are builders, and a builder is who fits that board. A Battle Beaver pad with a Marius board in it is both, not one or the other. Counted properly, 22 of the 45 tracked setups run a Marius board, and Battle Beaver is the most represented builder at 14.
Who builds the pads
Marius is not on this list because it is a board, not a builder. Boards are counted separately below.
| Rank | Builder | Players | Share |
|---|---|---|---|
| #1 | Battle Beaver | 14 | 31.1% |
| #2 | SCUF | 9 | 20.0% |
| #3 | Sony / DualSense | 4 | 8.9% |
| #4 | Demonwork | 1 | 2.2% |
| — | Not confirmed | 17 | 37.8% |
Polling boards
Twenty-two of the 45 tracked pads run a Marius board, which is what takes a controller to native 8 kHz polling. Eight of those are confirmed Battle Beaver builds. Seven belong to OpTic Texas and FaZe Vegas, who are both sponsored by Battle Beaver, so their Marius pads come from them. The eighth is Cellium, confirmed separately. For the remaining 14 the board is recorded but the builder is not confirmed, and the site says so on those pages rather than guessing.
