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

I'm really pleasantly surprised with it. I wasn't expecting much from it given the low price compared to other high end controllers with similar features like SCUF.Gyro is really good, no drifting and it feels tight and accurate. All the features on the listing work pretty well.4 remappable back buttons, adjustable tension in the joysticks, toggleable click on triggers, and an extra 2 face buttons. It's pretty great!I like the mechanical buttons, but some may not like that feeling/sound.The software for remapping works pretty well too, easy to use.I'm really happy with it!

The second one of these I have bought. After 7+ months of heavy use on the first one the M4 button broke so that's something to be aware of. Paid for a 2 year protection plan this time around. 3D printing may be utilized to salvage the other one, if I cannot get an OEM from Flydigi.

I can’t tell you if the Vader 4 Pro is truly the best gamepad on the market, but I can say that it runs circles around the Xbox Core controller that most users will probably be comparing it to.First is the extra buttons. The four underneath are easily reachable, which isn't always the case with these specialized gamepads. They also don't click loudly, nor do they require much force to press -- both of which are problems with the Aim gamepad’s paddles, IMO. Then there are two extra face buttons, conveniently located. They are mapped by default to L3 and R3.The extra buttons were of immediate help to me, actually. You see, in Assassin's Creed Shadows, you have to hold the R3 button down to use Eagle Vision. Holding down the Z button feels much better. The ABXY buttons are also mechanical, which should help with durability. They make a light mouse-like click when you press one of them, and they require much less force and have much less travel than the usual membrane buttons that you see here. The 8-way D-pad is also quieter than the one on the Xbox gamepad.I also really appreciate the tension dials on the analog sticks. You can adjust these in-game to get the exact amount of resistance that you prefer. Speaking of analog sticks, they also offer up to 12-bit accuracy. Between that and the 1000 Hz polling rate, aiming and movement do feel smoother than what is possible with an Xbox gamepad.I also find the Space Station app pretty easy to use. Most of the settings have detailed explanations — but what I like best is that I didn't need to fiddle very much to begin with. The V4P works great right out of the box. It also already had the latest firmware, according to the app. And despite it coming from a company in China, all of the app text is written in pretty much perfect English. I actually handle this kind of copy in my day job, so I can tell you that they went the extra mile here.For those who want to fine-tune how the V4P behaves, there's just a nutty amount of settings. For example, you have 100 increments of trigger vibration, and you can adjust the amplitude for each one. You can also adjust how quickly a game responds to different levels of trigger pull. You can also fiddle with the sensitivity curves of either analog stick. Or you can make one of the sticks act as a mouse pointer. And of course you can tune dead zones. And the V4P can store up to four different configurations, swapping between them with just two button presses. The list goes on.The 800 mAh LiPo battery sounds small on paper, but users report at least 10 hours of usage per charge. That should be enough even for a marathon session, as long as you remember to plug it in after. If you're playing on PC, then you're probably sitting right next to a USB port anyway.Overall, I feel like you get quite a lot for the price: lots of additional well-designed buttons, high accuracy and fluidity for the analog sticks, and loads of optional configuration in the app. You would be hard-pressed to find a gamepad this featureful elsewhere for anywhere near this price. If you are missing rubberized grips, you can actually order an inexpensive third-party set right here on Amazon, from an outfit called Talon Games. You can even use this gamepad with an Xbox, via the Mayflash Magic-X wireless Bluetooth USB adapter, also sold here on Amazon.I'm not sure what the other reviewer is referring to about the digital trigger setting. I don't notice any particular extra force needed to get a click in that mode, nor do I experience a significant amount of travel. And I guess that the analog sticks are slightly taller than normal, but I honestly wouldn't have noticed if someone hadn't mentioned it, and I've played thousands of hours with gamepads over many years. And my hands are towards the smaller end of the spectrum.

Best “bang for your buck” controller you can buy. While everyone has preferences, I guarantee you will enjoy this controller for everything it’s worth. The stick tension adjustment is awesome, and I love the fact that it’s grips are thicker than a normal Xbox controller so your hands are comfortable holding during long gaming sessions. The extra buttons are cool and quite useful without being in the way, but I don’t use them often.Please note: my controller I bought March 2025 came with the latest firmware. People have said this controller has stick latency issues, but the firmware fixes that. This controller is incredibly responsive, so please note any data about its latency may be out of date.

Decent controller. Everything is good except when I switch the triggers to clicky mode the right one is nice and clicky but the left one is mushy and thuddy. I think the quality control could be improved. But it's usable and still better than my Xbox series S controller. 🎮

10/10 would recommend. Amazing features for the price pt. I was immediately better at Marvel Rivals. I was using regular xbox one controller for 60$ before. This is smooth as butter. The keyboard clicks in every button is awesome. Extra buttons. Customizable triggers, sticks, lighting. The flydigi space center app let's you customize even more and map buttons. No more AA batteries. I feel like I've been living under a rock. The guy who says the triggers are hard to pull must be weak. I notice no difference on stick height either. 80$ is worth it 👌 real person, no bot.
