    I'm loving mine. It's worth mentioning for PC users that since the update you get more granular controll over the trigger stops using the app. Instead of 3 levels you can set it from 0-192 which I think is around 1/5 of a degree each step. The trigger vibrate is actually a force feedback. Currently playing Snowrunner and the difference in tension between the left and right trigger feels like the difference between a brake and accelerator with the right trigger giving feedback everytime the gear changes.

    I have a question, I see in all the reviews the input latency being praised of this controller, but on the gamepadle website, the cable latency for the flydigi apex4 appears to be twice as high as the dual sense. Is this correct? What are your thoughts on that? Because when I see youtubers testing with xinput, the flydigi apex4 scores better every time?

    @@AtlasStreamTTV Apex4 does not support gyroscope when playing mw3 like the Ps5 controller. Therefore, you will have to download the Flydigi Space software to enable the controller's gyroscope function. And the interesting thing I discovered is that when using the apex4 controller, when opening the controller's gyroscope, the game's aiming assist feature still works (with other controllers, when opening the gyro, aim assist will not work). it's worth buying, you just need to get used to it and learn the sensitivity of your gyroscope.

    Personally dont like this controller . Triggers in lock mode via app , give way . Rear buttons are the worst postioned buttons , i had issues with face buttons getting stuck . They have a fair bit of wiggle . Its heavy and latency is wors then a stock xbox one controller . Latency comes in at 6.8ms wired and 7.2 wireless . The best thing is the 1000 resolution sticks they feel great and are precise . But quite a few reports of crunchy sounds . Over priced and not fantastic

    When I first started getting use to the controller, I continually pinched my finger between the housing and trigger. I don't anymore though the face buttons stick out a lot, are pretty hard and not very flush so kind of uncomfortable. My main issue is that the stick and dpad are close together and I accidentally press the dpad all the time.
