Nice, I've been looking forward to your take on the Vader 3 Pro! Thanks for covering it too!

THE review I've personally been looking for A LONG time, gonna watch the video rightaway ... 🙏

just wanted to say, thanks for recommending this! I've been using it for racing sims, and I love the precision of the trigger motors for subtle feedback. it's great for feeling the exact moment the brakes lock up

Hey, love the channel, great stuff. How do you connect flydigi vader 3 pro to the brooke wingman xe2. Thanks in advance 👍

Love your brutally honest review! scanning your vids as my guide for to be purchase controller.. thank you sir!

Not sure if you touched on this but what is the tension on the thumbsticks compared to PS4? I feel like they are pretty loose and I was debating desodering and replacing the springs with my old PS4 controllers for more tension.m if thats even possible.

I have the zoro edition it is one of the best controller I've ever used. The feels and the response are great for daily use, the only downside for me is the software. Overall 9/10

@@McVerdict Vader 3 Pro, or any hall effect controller really, doesn't have as good joystick tension. I suppose they are using lighter tension springs for whatever reason. The Terios Winkey is probably the most stiff Hall Effect controller I've used. It's decent, feels kinda cheap, but works well.

Thank you for this great in-depth review man, was also fun to watch. You clearly earned my Like and sub!

Not knowing if works with XE2 was the only thing keeping me from buying this controller. Thanks! Did you get the chance of testing the motion with a PS game? And how does it connect to the adapter? With the dongle?

Just got this controller a few days ago. It's excellent for the price (just £40 now!). It's better than my GuliKit KK3 which cost twice as much. Infact i prefer the V3 Pro to my Elite Series 2 and that cost 4x as much. This has the absolute best D-pad. All the buttons feel great (apart from C and Z which lack mechanical switches). The triggers feel FAR better than the KK3 when they're locked. Also love how this connects in under one second when using the dongle. There's no waiting, you can just immediately start playing, unlike my other controllers which all have a delay, especially the KK3 which doesn't even connect roughly 1 in 8 times. I get 480Hz polling rate with the dongle (just over 2ms) and exactly 500Hz with the cable (exactly 2ms). You can't go wrong with this controller.

the dongle start up is really fast under 1 sec. normal xbox controller usually takes longer!

Hey, just a quick question, I see on the web site that the dock has "enhanced wireless". Does the dock replace the dongle when in use? Thanks again for a great review, I did purchase both but the dock is taking forever to ship.

Thanks for the much detailed review, As an owner of this controller I have a few things to point out: 1. My dongle has the "Flysync" text printed on it. So its not exclusive to the Apex 3, perhaps just random. 2. Aliexpress delivery was quite fast, at least for me personally. Ordered mine for $58 (Shipping included) to UAE and it arrived in 5 days. Even though the ETA said 3 weeks. 3. The placement of the inner back buttons (M3/M4) are a pain in the ass. They feel very unnatural and uncomfortable to press, unlike the outer ones. 4. After each firmware update, you need to calibrate thumbsticks/gyro. But more importantly you have to calibrate the triggers as well when you do the thumbsticks (just press them fully a couple of times). The app mentions only calibrating the thumbsticks. If you dont you may face issues with the trigger button functions and hairpin/analog modes. 4. Battery level seems much higher than 8 hours, I have been playing on it for a couple of days without having to recharge. 5. I wish the battery level was shown in software, or as a Color of light on the RGB at the front as response to a command or a button combination.

hey could you perhaps share the link from where you bought it?

25:59 You can use the control via Bluetooth in PC (I have this control and I have used it in this way). Once connected to PC, you have to set it to x-input or d-input (read the following). 25:08 The control have three main modes: Dongle, BT and NSwitch mode (think of each as a different profile) and when you connect it via cable you keep the same mode selected but the data is transmitted via cable instead of wireless (and you don't use the battery). 14:01 The controller does support d-input and x-input in dongle or BT mode (and you can change the d-input/x-input on the fly). Connect the control (dongle or BT mode) and you can switch from x-input to d-input by holding down circle + A until it vibrates and the color of the led changes (The white light should turn blue). To return to xinput mode, without disconnecting it, press circle + X until it vibrates and the color of the led changes to white . The difference is that in dinput it appears as 2 devices at the same time: a vader controller with all the extra buttons (c, z, the back buttons) and a second device (vader mouse) which is the gyroscope (you activate or deactivate the gyroscope with the circle button). NOTE: you can also connect the controller in NSwitch mode to a PC (for example to use it with emulators). Open Bluetooth settings on Windows, then add a new device, turn on the controller with the back switch set to NS mode, then hold the Home button until the small blue LED flashes faster (then release the Home button), then wait for it to show up on the Windows search list and click on it when it shows up as a NS Pro Controller.

Great review

I got the One Piece version of this for a dedicated controller to use with my ROG Ally but it ended up just taking over everything. I have the dongle in my main rig/desktop and set the middle bluetooth option to the Ally so I can switch between the 2 on a dime. The Elite 2 does feel better in my hands but I enjoy the feel of the buttons and sticks of the Vader 3 so much more that my poor Elite's just been gathering dust. If the Vader 3 had an inverted option for it's gyro it would be absolutely perfect.

Thanks dude great review

which one do you recommend to use in forza and similar games. vader 3 pro? apex 4?

Got this a week ago thanks to this review and I have to say this is my favorite controller EVER! Works amazing feels amazing looks amazing !! Giving this a 9/10 only because I couldnt get the Dongle to work for me at all . Ended up just using bluetooth and it runs amazing! Also i wanted to copy you and get those same Blue Kontrol Freeks but they are out of stock everywhere :/ Other then that its a amazing controller. I ordered it on amazon at 11:55PM got here at 8:30AM the next morning with Prime shipping!

How do you remove the left and right joysticks? Do you just pull, planning on adding thumb grips.

Nice ! Bro, did you update the firmware ? Any good results ? Thanks for the video.

Hey it looks like the first latency reading is the longest and really messing up the average. If you were to exclude that initial outlier. Would it probably be around 2 ms latency 500 hz?

This or the Apex 2 used to be my daily but I've recently changed to Beitong Zeus 2. Would be interested to see what you thought of that pad. Best software out of the Chinese ones imo.

The Apex 3 has the exact same D-pad, and it has a good stack of cons when compared to this one. It does look super shmexy, but if I were you, I'd stick with the Vader 3.

How did you find the extend thumb grip for the controller?

For me default c and z are for comfortable if you get used to it. Because you can use those instead of clicking on the stick which sometimes may push the stick a little to the left or right

20:53 what is masked value exactly means for trigger vibration ? i tested that lower ( or zero ) actives trigger vibration in any range of the trigger , and higher values ( let say 127 and above ) make the trigger not vibrate if i press too hard( to the end). it is just a filter to cancel the trigger vibration when i passs a % of trigger range?

I just ordered one, I will mainly use it for fighting games, I love the D-Pad on my Xbox Series controller, anyone can tell me if the D-Pad on this one is better, equal or worse than the Xbox Series controller for fighting games?

Can you remap the back buttons on STEAM Input?

Great review, I pretty much agree with most of what you said, just a couple notes as someone who's used this controller for about a month now: 1. Got a link for those specific kontrol freeks you used? I bought some PS5 kontrol freeks and they wouldn't stay on the thumbstick no matter how hard I tried 2. Flydigi seems to directly sell this controller via Temu. That's where I bought it for 65$. Doesn't seem to be in stock anymore but shipping was only a week and I don't have any QC issues. 3. You mention a couple times about using reWASD to bind C and Z to PC functions like volume control, but from my knowledge reWASD currently does not support the Vader 3 or 3 Pro. reWASD only sees the standard buttons on the controller, it doesn't see the paddles or the C/Z buttons. I do have a workaround that I use, see below. My work around for this is to have both the Flydigi software and the reWASD software open at the same time. Map the extra buttons to keyboard keys in the Flydigi software, and then map those keyboard keys in reWASD to whatever you want. Obv there's no reason to do this if you're just doing simple remaps, but it's helpful if youre trying to use all the reWASD specific features. The Flydigi software does warn you to not use reWASD however. There's one major bug where if the controller falls asleep while you have reWASD enabled then all controller support just breaks. Like even if I plug in a different controller my PC still won't recognize it. Only way to fix it I found so far is to just restart your PC. Probably something weird going on with that custom controller driver that gets installed when you set up the Flydigi software.

Wonderful video as always; I appreciate your information delivery, timestamps, and humor! One thing - apparently it's by design that the C & Z buttons are membrane dome instead of mechanical. As you said, you never hit them on accident. They're more difficult to actuate (since membrane dome requires bottoming out) which is the same reason why mechanical keyboards cause less typing fatigue over time. I saw someone call that out on... reddit ;)

I don't have a PC right now water hit it. I really want the Apex 4 Pro but moneys ti as, suffer to pay for the Apex? Or bite the bullet and nget the Vader 3 Pro for now? How can I assign the back buttons on Android tablet? Does the Game Center software do that? Button assignments? Could you do a video explaining the Flydigi Game Center software. This will be my first controller for Android so I look at your advise and Pugh's is it? Yeah I respect both insights

Will this work in ipad pro m2?

hy i have a qstion can u plug 2 controllers in the ssame pc ?

Does the gyro aiming functionality work on xbox?

I feel like I need to scream this from a mountain top, it honestly may be worth a pin. A USB extender, hub, or splitter will fix the connectivity issues this controller has with the dongle. I bought this controller a few months ago and for the most part it's been fantastic. However I started to notice that if I wasn't right next to the dongle (within 3 feet or so) I would lose connectivity randomly until I moved the controller back toward it. It was happening A LOT and driving me crazy (it even had me looking at other gamepads) until I came across the fix on another video. Any kind of USB extension, splitter, or hub will act as an antenna to amplify the signal of the dongle. I have not lost connection once since I started plugging the dongle in through a 8" USB splitter cable.

I tried it but sadly left thumbstick is not great calibrated. I need it for Trackmania and most of time it is steering by itself from 1-4%.. have to return it

This one have worse connection than the Vader 3? I wonder if the Vader 3 you tested back in August was a fluke? As in, you won the silicon lottery and got one with a super fast connection? Even the Apex 3 have terrible latency based on your testing. I need a super fast controller but I want the Xbox layout. Maybe I should just learn to adapt to the PlayStation layout again lol.
