Flydigi Vader 5 Pro Premium Controller for PC

Really good few tweaks and it’s perfect.

Overall I have really enjoyed the controller. I bought it to compare to the g7 pro and I believe it is better than the standard g7 pro. Buttons, Dpad, and triggers feel better to use and the rumble feels more fleshed out too. There are really two things that if implemented would make the controller perfect getting tmr sticks would be first as other third party controllers at this price point often have them as standard, but for now the tension rings really make up for the sticks.. The other factor is the removable back paddles. although i have the improved batch I don’t use them that often because you can bend it a little by pushing a bit hard you can bend them and I don’t want to strain the mechanical parts inside if they could be put into the controller like the first two it would put me more at ease to use them or a limit to how far the paddles can be pushed would be great too. As for connectivity and it has had no issues and is pretty straightforward. The build quality is premium and I have no real complaints about this controller. I would say it’s absolutely worth the price and would recommend if you are interested.

Flydigi Vader 5 Pro Early Impression: Quality

This review is early, as I've only had this controller for 21 days. I point this out to say that I cannot comment on the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro's long-term quality. I gave this controller a try to see if it will hold up as long as the Razer Wolverines, to which I switched from Microsoft controllers after having 2 XBox Elite controllers die right around the 1-year mark. Razer controllers have lasted at worst 3.5 years and at best I have one that's at 6 years and going strong. The Flydigi Vader 5 Pro feels high quality. It has those wonderful, mouse-click switches under the buttons like the Razer. The triggers feel smooth and solid on the long-pull setting, and unique to Flydigi, when locked into short pull, the triggers get that same, wonderfully satisfying and responsive mouse click! I also love the extra buttons! The Vader 5 Pro's 4 underside paddles, 2 front buttons (a must for reassigning the stick press functions, in my humble opinion), and 2 extra programmable buttons near the A, B, X, Y buttons set the Flydigi in a class of its own in versatility! The rubberized grips feel similar to the XBox Elite; they feel very grippy, comfortable, and quality. Overall, based on initial experience, this is the nicest controller I've ever used. While I can't speak to it's long-term performance, at first use, the quality and functions of the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro have made potentially made this my new go-to controller.

Love my Vader 5. Feels just heavy enough in the hands, textured in the right places. The dpad is perfect for fighting games. I find myself looking for controller games just to have an excuse to use it.
