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!

For the price, it's very high quality (was on sale). The build quality of the controller is solid with a nicely textured grip. The a/x/b/y buttons feel tactile and comfortable with slight pre-travel. The most outstanding feature on the controller is the built in tension adjustment for the joysticks. It's easy and intuitive to use. Although the joystick tension will not be the first thought that comes to mind, it's pretty unique amongst the controllers that I've had, and it allows for the luxury to individually fine-tune the feeling of your directional input and your aim. Lastly, there are four remappable back buttons that I use for the joysticks and a/y keys. They are easy to reach without interfering with my grip on the controller. Overall, I'd say this controller has great value for its worth.

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.
