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

I was very skeptical that an off brand controller could be anywhere as good or better than the OEM xbox controller, especially for the same price ($55 as of Nov 25). Boy was I ever wrong. This thing destroys the cheap oem controller by leaps and bounds. I will say I don't think this controller works with a console, as I'm using it on a PC. Build quality is great, no creaks or unappealing noises. Everything feels and looks premium. Buttons: Love having short stroke clicky mechanical face buttons. Bumpers feel a lot nicer than OEM and quiet. The two extra buttons below the face buttons are normal (not mechanical), but you don't use them as much so it doesn't matter. This goes for the start, select, home and function buttons as well. Triggers: Never had any adjustable triggers before but man are they nice. Very nice travel and smooth on the long travel mode (No annoying noise either). Very fast clicky buttons on the short travel setting. Thumbsticks: Adjustable tension is amazing and I don't think I could go back. It's so easy to dial in your resistance to whatever your heart desires. They also feel like they have more travel than an OEM controller as well. I feel like I have to make more exaggerated movements, but that also equals more fine tuned control. The rubber grips are great and work well. I installed the software and that was easy and very customizable as well. Really I don't have anything to complain about with this controller. I would totally buy this over any other cheap/oem controller for sure. Flydigi has gained a loyal customer!

An amazing controller with accurate triggers, sticks, and switches. The mechanical buttons have a very audible click, but if that is not a problem or even preferred it's an incredible value for features, accuracy, and overall performance. This controller is packed with features you usually find on controllers that cost much more. Pros: - The hall effect sticks are great. They're smooth and the tensioning mechanism is incredibly useful, I personally like to have more resistance on the right stick (around 3 from max) for first person games, and less (around 3 from min) for third person games. - One surprising feature is the switchable triggers. You can flip a switch on the back and they become clicky like a mouse button. It's perfect for shooters or any game where you don't need a slow/analog trigger pull. It also helps me rest my fingers on them without accidentally pressing them since they provide a bit of resistance required to click on them. - The extra buttons are handy and let you have a comfortable controller grip instead of a claw grip while still having the versatility of simultaneous inputs and movements/panning. You get four buttons on the back which can be bound to any functions, and the extra two buttons on the grips are natural to hit (I prefered binding the right grip button to 'interact' and left to 'sprint/movement modifier' so I could move the camera, change movement, and sprint with a natural grip. The two extra face buttons by the right grip are by default bound to pressing the sticks down, useful if needing a precise actuation of those buttons but I did find myself using those somewhat rarely. - It connected to my PC quickly with the dongle it came with. The app is easy to use and lets you change everything, the button layout, the lights, the vibration. You can also rebind buttons like swapping the A/B/X/Y buttons to match the Nintendo layout (which I did prefer in some games). There are profiles available to quickly switch entire controller configurations. - Battery life is reasonable. I get about two weeks out of it playing an hour or so a day. There are controllers with much bigger batteries, but this controller can also be used while charging with a USB-C cable so it's more than adequate. Small Cons: - The controller is clicky (also a pro because it is precise). The buttons have mechanical switches, so they make a sharp click every time you press them. Great for mechanical feedback, but I can see how it could annoy those around me. - The main A/B/X/Y face buttons on mine have a bit of shifting / travel at that top that feels 'squeaky' Overall: My favorite controller, great value, features, comfort, accuracy and perfromance and its compatible with the PC, Android, and IOS.

I've had this thing for a few months now and honestly? It's pretty good for the price. Been using it mainly for Devil May Cry 5, Battlefield 6, and Killer Instinct on PC. **The Good Stuff** The buttons feel amazing — like, actually responsive and satisfying to mash. And that tension dial on the analog sticks is chef's kiss. You can literally twist it mid-game to tighten up the controls if you need more precision or loosen them for faster movement. That's actually genius and I haven't seen many controllers do that. The back buttons are super useful too — I find myself remapping them for different games depending on what I need. And the trigger modes are honestly one of the best features here. I switch between different modes depending on what I'm playing (precision shooting in BF6 vs rapid button mashing in Killer Instinct) and it actually makes a noticeable difference. The build quality feels way more premium than a standard Xbox controller too — like, noticeably better materials and construction. **The Annoying Part** The 2.4G wireless range is hot garbage though, not gonna lie. I've got a 2-story house and the connection drops even when I'm directly above my PC on the second floor. Not ideal if you're trying to game on a different display upstairs without interruptions. There's a lot of WiFi interference from other devices in the house that seems to mess with the dongle. I ended up just connecting it wired when I'm doing intense gaming sessions to avoid the disconnect spam. **But Actually Works Great on Bluetooth** The Bluetooth connection though? Solid. I use it on my tablet with Moonlight streaming from my PC and it's been rock solid. Way more reliable than the dongle. **Bottom Line** Good controller with responsive buttons and that awesome stick tension feature. Just skip the WiFi and go Bluetooth or wired. If you don't mind the connectivity workaround, it's definitely worth grabbing.
