FLYDIGI Vader 4 Pro PC Controller Force Adjustment Lever Joystick Hall & Micro 2-in-1 Triggers 1000Hz Report Rate Stereo Vibration 800mAh Multi-Platform Controller for PC/NS/TV/Android/Laptop

I am a mouse and keyboard player, but I decided to give controller a go a couple years ago. I looked and looked before finally settling on Scuf last year. It’s meh, honestly. I’ve tried so many “high end” controllers looking for one that feels high end.When I took the Vader pro out of the box, I immediately noticed how it feels like a high end, quality controller. The feel of the thing set a high standard. Using it didn’t let me down. The sticks are BY FAR the best ones I’ve ever used. The tension adjustment is amazing, and I love being able to fine tune my controller this way. The software is easy to use and remapping buttons takes a second.The internal specs of the controller are the best I’ve ever used. Joystick accuracy is 12 bit, which means your fine movements are perfectly reflected on screen, I.e. your stick goes where you want it. You gotta try it. For reference Xbox elite 2 is 9 bit and Sony PS Dualsense and Dualsense Edge have 8 bit. The feel is unlike anything I can describe. You have to kinda relearn a bit because your brain has adapted to the imperfections of the previous controller and poorer accuracy. Once you get used to it though… omg so satisfying. It feels like aiming with a mouse. No BS.Buttons feel clicky and satisfying to the press. Similar to the scuff. The back buttons are in an okay spot. I have adjusted to them fine. This is one area I prefer the scuf envision pro, back button placement. Not a dealbreaker by any means and I think I just got used to scuf. I am adjusted know and barely remember scuf lol.CONS:- It’s kinda small… I am a big guy with big hands and at first I didn’t think I would be able to play with this controller, despite loving everything else about it. In the last couple days uve actually started to notice that the size isn’t bugging me anymore. I’ve adjusted. Give it a chance, but it is small.-Xbox stick layout. Some may disagree with this being a con, but my brain loves the symmetry of the ps5 layout. As with the other things, I've adjusted and barely notice anymore.Overall- this is the only controller I’ll use. I’ll always be on the lookout for something better but honestly I can’t imagine how you beat this other than making the same exact thing a little bigger with ps5 button layout.

Im not smart enough to give you a comprehensive review of this controller. So id suggest you look up videos by VCuda and GamerHaven on youtube. both have great deep dive videos on this controller and many others.But for me its the best hands down.(Keep in mind i ONLY use this on PC)Heres my take away after about 4 months of use:-4 re-programable back buttons and 2 more "C" and "Z" buttons on the front.- both joysticks are not just hall effect, but use Flydigi's inhouse special sauce instead of springs that are supposed to never wear out. so no joystick slop or drift.-Adjustable tension rings for the joysticks to set your preferred centering strength.-Quick swappable triggers that go from digital mouse click to full sweep analog. (FPS shooters VS Racing games are an example of why)-every button on the controller is also a Keyboard style short travel "Clicky" Switch.-1000hz response time for wireless.And that not even touching on the surprisingly useful (OPTIONAL) software for it called "Flydigi Space"-lets you set all the buttons on the controller to any controller and/or Mouse+Keyboard input.-Set the joysticks output to a perfect Circle or Square (some games are calibrated for one kind or the other, so being able to choose on the fly is very helpful)-Setting ANTI-DEADZONES for the joysticks to cancel out any games baked in deadzones. (this is a hugely helpful thing as some games have huge default deadzones that you cant adjust)-And all changes applied to the controller are saved to the onboard memory (this means they persist even after you kill the software, and happen at a driver level, so 100% compatibility in any game.)And many more tweaks i cant even remember off the top of my head.This is by far the best controller ive ever owned. it blows every other pro controller on the market out of the water.
