Got mine finally, and it's an amazing controller indeed! The only few things I don't like are: 1) with BT/XInput mode remapped keyboard keys won't work 😣(only cable/dongle!), 2) there is no button combination to switch/adjust turbo speed, turbo button, change Macros, vibration intensity, swap square/circle stick modes on the fly, and you must configure them with software only (controller fw 6.9.3.3). Hope to see some fw updates... Absolutely recommended in the end!

[@elishaduncan2479]

Great review mane i love those controller for flydigi i been playing with it for a while now and it's up there with the best of the best.

[@Musab_StreamsTTV]

The dpad is actually removable, but it does take a lot more force to get it off. I got my controller on Saturday the 21st of December and immediately went to tweaking the rings, pulling off the dpad carefully and it just popped off and clicked back in place after i dropped the dpad back into its slot. I may pick up more but in the meantime the default is good enough.

[@Adam-pk7go]

Im very glad i found this, trying to get full details on the the stick accuracy, latency, and software is very difficult. Thanks for the comprehensive review

[@goobatroopa_]

This is a fantastic review. Great job demonstrating the stick rebounce with slow mo visual on controller + testing screen. I don't think the function settings transfer to switch mode. At least the rebounce algorithm doesn't work as the rebounce is consistantly there when tested on the switch stick tester. I love the Vader 4 but if you're getting a controller only for switch there are more suitable options.

[@idan1242]

the features this controller has is top notch value

[@DmitryCee]

It's here! Great review as usual! Especially the teardown part.

[@poopie5719]

I love this controller, recently got it and modified it with taller flydigi sticks, grip tape on practically everything, skull % co. Thumb grips, and replaced the dpad with whe white apex 4 one since I have the assassins creed version and I think it looks better like that, also I added a paddle mod to mine and it just makes the back buttons so much better and I recommend adding metal back padles for the vader 4 specifically (the best controller I’ve tried)

[@kratos21491]

Haha Just like others was waiting for this one. Thanks a lot man.

[@J0rdan912]

Hi VK, I see a debounce option in Flydigi software that removes constant jitters and running numbers, making it always rest at perfect ~0.0002. But my PS4 and PS5 controllers with stock joysticks, always had that "jittering" and it's always constant running numbers on gamepad tester website, just like at 13:50, never resting at ~0.003 or whatever it's supposed to be for PS controllers, tho sticks works perfectly fine. Can you tell what is it? Is this normal for PS controllers or I have some faulty controllers? Should I worry about those constant micro-jitters and movements?

[@VKsChannel]

Yeah this is normal and some consoles will even filter this noise I think this is the case for the ps5

[@maybebutwhatever]

2:24 they actually change texture of the grips. Now it's similar to xbox series gamepads which is awesome. Finally a flydigi gamepad that's feels nice to hold. For me it one of the best things that changed 😁

[@t1czer]

I remember my Razer Onza and Razer Sabertooth. When Saber died i looked for something to replace it and got disappeared with what Razer sells now. Tried Microsoft gamepads and they sucked too... For now i have some cabled controllers with 2 extra buttons (i need them). Now I'm waiting for Vader to see how it feels like.

[@Hoodzerino]

Something to mention: The usb stick that comes with it, uses 2ghz wifi. It actually blocks all wifi signals around it, when you connect the controller. Keep that in mind. I had to send mine back unfortunately. Loved the controller tho!

[@slargo83]

Weird, it's supposed to use digital hopping to pick an open frequency

[@MrDoordude125]

I have a question for you. Any chance you know if the Vader 4 pro can use 1000hz polling rate while in Dinput mode? The controller can switch between Dinput and Xinput by holding the circle button next to the home button along with either the X or A button for 5 seconds

[@victorjosehidalgodelahoz3941]

Thanks for this. But, do you know if it can be paired with the switch and a pc (by bluetooth) without having to re-pair when changing device?

[@VKsChannel]

Yes it can, each switch position bluetooth/switch holds pairing memory with 1 device

[@xlFINESSINlx]

What settings are recommended for shooters like rainbow six which has no aim assist at all? 12 bit or lower? And any other settings that will help with gun control? Please and thank you.

[@OhKaiizer]

Hey, thanks for your in depth video. I was just wondering how sensitive the tension adjustment-rings really are. At 3:05 it looks like you can really not change it on accident that easily because its quite tight and you even used 2 fingers for "ease" of turning. i dont want to "speculate" tho and was wondering if you could tell me a bit more about that? Thanks!

[@VKsChannel]

On the more loose its easy to move but if you tighten it just a bit it becomes hard to move by accident

[@mrshavartv]

How do the back buttons feel!????

[@Chonkeeartist9001]

Flydigi needs to have their controllers compatible with real PS5 games already. Just make them work, I could live without adaptive triggers but having NOT to deal with analog drift is already an improvement. Please Flydigi, do your magic! 🙏🙏🙏

Received mine yesterday and it is by far the best controller on the marker, it is awesome, having used the Elite 2 for years and trying the Razer Wolverine (sent it back) the Vader 4 Pro is truly a masterpiece of a controller, its taking some time to get used to the rear buttons having used the Elite series but I have only had it a day and already I think the positioning is better, the triggers at the mouse click mode are super responsive, the stick tensioners are far superior than the Elite 2

a well do review . since this is a new design we can't tell how longs the sticks will last , but even the desing flaw on the apex , i think this one seem it will last less or at least will change over time , cuz friction is relaying on lupe and over time this might become an early point failure , but we´ll never know now , that is still early .

Aliexpress. It's a chinese product, you are just getting upcharged if you buy from more 'local' sellers elsewhere. But wait a bit for the hype to die down.
