Vader 4 Pro Controller Review English - Flydigi

i review the controller

[@n64slayer]

Little known fact about the bindings on flydigi controllers, if you bind your button to either scroll wheel up or down and change the mouse binding to an action it will act as a 1000 cps auto clicker and it much faster than using the turbo function

[@wybuchowyukomendant]

I played on my v4pro for some time now and honestly, it might be my fave controller of all time. I used to have one controller for new games, and one for retro, because the left analog never was good and precise enough, but now it`s whole different story.

[@wilazn]

Finally. A US review. Why would you play the left stick at max? It's usually the moving stick so you want it lose. You want the right stick tight for aiming.

[@UmbraNoti]

I play trackmania and elden ring mainly, but I just really prefer the high tension sensitivity on the left stick as well as the right

[@wilazn]

Ah gotcha. Makes sense.

[@smalle]

I set the start zone curve on the left stick of my Vader 3 at like 15% so you can actually walk in Elden ring instead of immediately jogging. Before, a quarter of your stick range wouldn’t do anything and then boom, you’re jogging. I just have it set that way for Elden Ring. Oddly they didn’t completely butcher the right stick like this in the game though, just the left. Loose may feel better if you try this.

@@UmbraNotican you pop the directional button on the vader 3 pro? Or u just damaged urs I know the thumb sticks are removable

[@UmbraNoti]

@@willy7968 pop em off, do like i did, pull it from the up direction.

[@Krypterium]

i like the way u test it in a pretty picky way which is very gd and honest

[@UmbraNoti]

thanks

Wish I saw this video before I got my Vader 3 Pro, seems like Vader 4 Pro is what I wanted out of a controller for not much of a hike in pricing. Tried to use a program to overclock my V3Pro to 1000 polling but it's stuck at 500, also doesn't seem to have that Circularity Algorithm option. Can't understate how much I appreciated this video, watched it with a mate, he purchased the Vader 4 Pro right after.

[@UmbraNoti]

haha that sounds fun, glad you got a kick outa it

[@thearbitar123]

thats so strange i was watching with a mate as well, just got this controller on order cant wait

[@drconflict629]

The V3P is still a really great controller as a spare man. Don't feel bad, I have both as well.

[@feintexp-2530]

Then just sell your Vader 3 Pro

[@guap0954]

Can’t wait till mine arrives. Great review!

[@skengasaurus]

8:28 Love that you're confirming, and the resolution in decimal is just 2^(bit depth)

[@StardustLegacyFighter]

I was a bit worried my left analogue tension ring was broken, as it had a lot more play than the one on the right analogue stick. However, judging from your video, that seems like completely normal behaviour. As long as the adjustment ring doesn't start moving by itself and fucking up the stick tension, it should be fine.

[@Gidrah]

Nice review. Got mine and a grip on order super excited. Gonna take out the rumbles and set the tension close to the PS4's. Software options seems a little overwhelming but otherwise looks solid.

[@TheGlobuleReturns]

Having a higher KF on your left stick is blowing my mind rn

[@XxAtomic646xX]

the only good review of what ppl care about the adjustment rings and sticks being removable nice

[@Threewlz]

Quality review, lot of info there, tank you very much sir

[@tobybuckle7818]

I didn't know you could get so much depth out of a controller

[@UmbraNoti]

I go hard on controllers lmao

[@amr-OH]

glad to finally see a review for this. weird question, can you plug this in as a dinput controller so you can map the extra buttons independtly in games?

[@bigsteve0001]

Great review, thanks! Very tempted to upgrade after watching this. Random question, what size KontrolFreeks do you use and did you have to adjust the sticks to get them to fit?

[@UmbraNoti]

I use the ps4/ps5 size. And yes I had to trim off the edges of the thumbstick grip to get them to fit.

[@hardtobearit]

@@UmbraNoti the older 3 prong ps4/5 ones will fit naturally. but they moved to a 4 prong and it wont fit without modification

[@bigsteve0001]

@@UmbraNoti thanks, yeah I've got both Xbox and ps4 ones and had to trim the rubber on the sticks, was going you found one that fit!

[@bigsteve0001]

@@hardtobearit interesting, I've got some older PS4 MW2 3 prong ones and they didn't fit, seems like a lottery!

[@stevenluu7508]

Are the settings saved directly onto the controller or do I need windows app active at all times? Thanks in advance!

[@euuIgor]

Great video. If you were to buy only one, would you choose the Apex 4 or the Vader 4 Pro?

[@TheSeamusf]

I would also like an opinion on this. I see the apex 4 on sale for €95 and the Vader pro 4 for €75. So little in it not sure which to pick

[@UmbraNoti]

vader 4 pro. i love the trigger stops and the joystick more. also the stick resolution is better and the L3 R3 clicks are better than apex 4

[@euuIgor]

@@UmbraNoti that's interesting, thanks for the info. I got the Apex 4 for an excellent price so it was a better deal for me than the Vader 4 pro.

[@feintexp-2530]

@@euuIgor Did you got the standard one or the Assassin's Creed edition?

[@euuIgor]

@@feintexp-2530 I got the standard one

[@n64slayer]

Are the joyricks just as smooth or smoother than the apex 4? And do you know if it still uses bearings?

[@UmbraNoti]

smoother

[@yesmydark5484]

Does anyone have weak vibration in nintendo switch mode (d input) like my v4p? I even max the vibration but it can't vibrate strong compare to the pc mode (x input)

[@mkatakm]

Thanks bro 👍

[@MarckD1989]

Thanks for the review!

[@astreakaito5625]

Hello, nice reviews, any idea if that controller brand handle DS4W fine? Most nobably for gyro functions? I don't want to use their dedicated app unless the settings save into the controller without a need to leave the app running

[@UmbraNoti]

you dont need the app running afaik, atleast for the settings i've changed, i've never used gyro tho.

[@GOATGamerProSticks]

Can raw circular mode be tailored to about 10.9% over the line like standard pad stick 🕹️ response curves. Otherwise you may have to alter all your settings on a pad type basis 🫣🤦🏼‍♂️. RAWS great for range but in some games it may fast scroll 📜 menu skip unwanted. And capped to circle ⭕ 0% is too aggressive & sometimes diamond draws in the diagonal circularity readings seen on Gamepadla at 80% restricted tilt tests.

[@UmbraNoti]

are you ai?

[@GOATGamerProSticks]

@@UmbraNoti No 👎🏼 I'm human 🕺🏼.

[@somebody22222]

19:43 I think I have the same issue, but I want to confirm. With the trigger stops engaged, did the mouse click have some pre travel and then the click? So it wasn't smooth like a regular mouse click?

[@UmbraNoti]

it has about 2mm of angular pretravel

[@SolidOny]

Great review

[@zxcytdfxy256]

Is there any way to get better circularity on the apex 4 or vader 3 pro? I got both and flydigi space station doesn't give me the circularity algorithm option.

[@UmbraNoti]

not within the flydigi app, the new circularity software only seems to be for the vader 4pro

Does the headphone jack still work at 1khz

no headphone jack

It's a PC controller, so it makes sense to skip the audio jack to save space, as most ppl would connect their headphones to their PC anyways.
