FLYDIGI Vader 4 Pro Controller Force Adjustment Lever Joystick, Hall & Micro Triggers, 1000Hz Report Rate, 4-Motor Stereo Vibration, 800mAh, Multi-Platform for PC/NS/Android/TV (No Xbox/PS)

Pros: amazing functionality at its price point. The easy to reach dials for joystick tension. The attention to detail on the handles portion and buttons with the textured feel. The long (or short) press of trigger buttons. Not too heavy and the mechanical type buttons have a satisfying feel to them.Cons: there is not a really good charger stand available. I searched online and found they did have one made, it was just terribly rated and not really worth the money. There really isn’t an innovative or secret way to store the dongle.Overall: great product, I’ve been using cheap controllers for my gaming and I wish I didn’t know what I could’ve been missing with a quality controller. It does look kinda lame just sitting there on the desk plugged in. Wish they offered a charging stand with the product. All good though! Their bare bones approach just really highlights their product quality and value. I do wish they specifically advertised they had a two button slide toggle on the underside of the controller, I almost didn’t purchase these because it didn’t explicitly say it (or show it)

I will start of by saying, while this controller came out of nowhere and was just randomly recommended by Amazon, it lived up to the expectation after I looked into the hype around this controller. While this may look like another AI slop name and temu like listing with spelling errors on Amazon, it is better quality than the last Razer Pro Wolverine V.3 controller.I have been collecting a lot of controllers over the past few years because I think it is a pretty fun thing to collect and useful whenever one breaks. I've collected officially licensed Sony and Microsoft controllers along with Razer controllers. The Razer Wolverine V3 seemed like it was going to be the perfect controller and then it came out. At first, I loved the weight and they fixed the back buttons from the previous Wolverine model. But then the problems became too obvious. The sticks were too tight and characters in games would slow down if you have the stick in a corner. The buttons were too hard to press down and would just hurt your fingers after awhile. The controller would randomly disconnect while wired or wireless. So with those things mentioned, I was skeptical but it seemed that this controller didn't disappoint reviewers like Razer did.I've only had this controller for a few days but already I love it and the app you download to really mess with it's features. You can tell this controller was made by people who not only know what they are doing but also wanted to make a great controller. The rotating pressure on the thumb sticks is a new idea and you can feel the difference. I have my left stick looser and the right stick tighter. This makes playing fps games feel better than with other controllers. The face buttons are soft and have that nice soft mechanical sound. The weight is just like the Wolverine V3 and I like that weight to a controller. I'd also say it is about the same size of a standard modern Xbox controller so it feels fine in large hands.There are a lot of features that I could mention but I am going to wrap up this review with the one negative I have and that is the back buttons. They are not like the Wolverine controllers. Flydigi decided to be unique. They do have 4 back buttons along with 2 extra face buttons, which is nice and you can map any of them to be what you want in their app. So with the Xbox Elite and Wolverine V3, I use both my middle and ring fingers to press the back buttons. With this controller, it's best to just use your middle fingers for the back buttons because they are so close and small. It is not a huge problem, but something you have to get used to if you like paddles that other pro controllers use.My review may change because while it leaves a great first impression, now it's time to see how the durability is. If I don't have this updated and it is way past July of 2025, then this controller passed on that too. Oh and one last thing, for fighting game players out there. Pro controllers care more about fps games than fighting games but I'd say this controller is good for fighting games. I only played a few rounds but since it is close to the standard Xbox controller's d-pad and has two mappable face buttons, go for this controller over other pro controllers if you play fighting games.

As an older gamer who's been around the block, I can confidently say: the Flydigi Vader 4 is absolutely worth the money.First off, battery life isn't an issue because it doesn't require constant charging. The controls are extremely responsive, whether you're playing wired, over Bluetooth, or using the included dongle on PC. No matter how you connect, it just works. I do recommend the dongle for responsiveness.What really impressed me are the programmable buttons. There are so many of them, and they're ridiculously easy to set up. I don’t usually mess with customization, but this made it simple enough that even I dove in.This controller honestly reignited some excitement in me. It's got me thinking about starting a YouTube channel for product reviews—even though I have no clue where to begin. But I do know gaming, and I do know quality when I see it.And this is quality.I'm already planning to grab the Apex 5 when it drops. But for now, the Vader 4 has definitely earned its place as my go-to controller.

The FLYDIGI Vader 4 Pro is one of the best-feeling controllers I’ve ever used. The ability to adjust joystick tension is a total game-changer. It gives me the control I’ve always wanted, especially for FPS. The build is solid, and being able to customize the trigger travel is great for quicker response during gameplay. I’ve been using it on PC, and it performs flawlessly.The only thing holding this back from being a 5-star controller is the software. The configuration tool on PC feels clunk. It works, but it doesn’t match the polish of the hardware.Still, this is a top-tier option if you care about performance and customization at a great price!
