Shoutout to www.youtube.com/@boombaka for telling me about the Flydigi products in the first place. Check out his channel for some gyro gaming content! THERE WAS AN ERROR IN MY TEST! The polling rate of the Vader 3 Pro is in fact 500Hz, as long as you use the "Dongle Mode" with Wire or Wireless. My test at the end was in "Bluetooth Mode" with Wire and Wireless, hence the lower than expected results. Also, I'm relatively new to the product review scene, so please let me know what you thought and how I could improve! Thanks for stopping by!

Nice video. I been contemplating to buy this and decide to see a few review on it.
Vader and Gulikit have the feature of recalibrating the center position of the sticks (in the case of Vader, you need to recalibrate the entire sticks and triggers, but the center position of the sticks will also be calibrated). Use it wisely and then the dead zones can be further reduced. It's just that if the sticks are not centered correctly and a dead zone is set, for the camera or cursor to move in different directions, unequal physical movement of the stick itself will be required, this is not great.
@Tuuvas

Nice, thanks for the tip! I can confirm the deadzone is even tighter now after calibrating my thumbsticks and triggers by holding Start+Select+Dpad-Up to start calibration.
Awesome review. You sound like sort of like ETAPrime (very soothing voice).

Thank you Sega, the Dreamcast Controller used a Hall Effect thumbstick, Sega invented it.
@caleasthetic
10 ай бұрын
Sega invented it? First of all The Sega Saturn had hall effect sticks first (although nobody seems to remember because the console was not as popular). Second you say Sega invented it. I know you probably mean that they inveted hall effect use for thumbsticks? But in that case you would say that they implemented it on controllers, and not invented. After Sega had used them everybody else went with cheap potentiometers instead. Eventhoug companies that are small (like gulikit) can implement hall effect stick cost effectivly in a cheap controller. Look at flydigi. the have a controller called the vader 3 pr( $80) it has hall effect sticks, hall effect triggers (with a trigger lock that slides in a mechanical mouse switch). mechanical face buttons, and 4 rear buttons. Maybe the build quality is not up the same level as controller like the dualsense or the dualsense edge. But it does have more features. I have both a vader 3 and a vader 3 pro. plus i got theire older apex 2 controller. wich also has mechanical face buttons and triggers ($95). But it lack the hall effect stick. But the upside is that it is completly remapable in rewasd. So i can put unique button inputs on the back instead of copies from buttons that are already avaiable elsewehere on the gamepad.

@Tuuvas
11 ай бұрын
Yeah I literally just saw the pictures of the king kong 3 literally right before seeing your comment lol. It looks great, and initial paper specs are promising. I'm definitely curious. As for the dpad, it's clicky and tactile; however it's possible to press all 4 directions at once due to lack of a center pivot point. This is not ideal for things like fighting games as you'll find yourself accidentally pressing inputs you didn't mean to. That said, it's not a deal breaker. Just something to consider.
Even with slight drift 0.0 dz is worth using especially with this because the drift will be consistent compared to overtime with an alps 0.0 becomes more and more unplayable
You know what, I actually ended up re-buying a second Vader 3 Pro and giving it another chance and guess what? Now I love it. Turns out I *did* receive a bad early build, because all of my complaints about "rattling buttons" are completely gone now. Of course I still dislike that my early buy didn't turn out well, but whatever, shit happens. Now I'm using this new Vader 3 Pro and I am loving it. Zero rattling, and an excellent controller.
Very nice ! Brother, is there any configuration that can be done directly on the controller, without needing the software ? Thanks
This is great stuff!
Does the controller save the app setting changes, so you can just use it with Bluetooth AFTER having reprogrammed it via dongle or cable as needed? Except for keyboard keybinds, as you mentioned.

Just a heads up - the Amazon link contains the Vader 3, but it shows the "non-Pro" version by default even though I specifically chose the "Pro" version before generating the link. If you do buy the controller, make sure it's the Pro version if you want Hall Effect thumbsticks. Otherwise, the non-Pro version is the same but without Hall Effect thumbsticks and without impulse triggers for individual trigger rumble. As for layouts specifically for the Vader 3 Pro? Nahhh lol, it's far too much work to account for so many different types of devices. Maybe I'll do a "this is my favorite config" video and showcase the Vader 3 Pro again, but that's probably as far as I'll go.

Hi, thanks for the review and I'm finding myself wondering what the build quality of the flydigi is compared to standard mainstream controllers? I did watch another video and it said that the nonpro is made of three fairly cheap feeling plastics of differing levels of quality and wondering if you share a similar sentiment?
@Tuuvas
10 ай бұрын
Yup yup, I saw that in Gamer Heaven's review. He's got WAY more experience with a number of different controllers, so I would respect his opinion way more than my own. That said, regarding mainstream controllers like Xbox Series S|X or PlayStation DualSense controllers? I personally do not find that they feel cheap. Based on that, I'd say the Flydigi Vader 3 Pro is on par with the Xbox Series S|X controller feel-wise. Then it exceeds Xbox when you realize there's also microswitch buttons, hall effect thumbsticks, and extra rebindable buttons.
The thing that bugs me it still polls slower than my dualshock 4 in bluetooth mode :( I just tested DS4 and it avg: 7.38ms @ polling rate: 135.36hz // For comparison: King kong pro 2 bluetooth mode was AVG: 29.53ms @ Polling rate: 33.86hz UPDATE: Just saw your pinned comment about the polling rates.

Hi tuvaas, do i need necessarily the steam edition of dcs to have "clickable" buttons in the cockpit? I noticed i have also other problems, i set up my gamepad like you and verified multiple times, for example i can't shoot the cannons with the left bump neither if it's correctly selected, i have to switch to ground attack mode and then fire it with the right bumper, can't understand why!

"Clickable" buttons in the cockpit is only available in "High Fidelity" modules like the F/A-18C, Ka-50, AV-8B, AH-64D, etc. But aircraft like the Su-25T or any found in the Flaming Cliffs 3 pack are "Low Fidelity", meaning no clickable buttons in the cockpit. It doesn't matter if you're using Steam Edition or not for this. It's all about the specific aircraft you're using. As for your cannon issue, that's exactly how the Su-25T is designed to work. You cannot use the cannon unless you're in a combat mode (ex. Air-to-Ground mode) and select the cannon.

For the switch mode you are limited to copying already existing inputs to the back buttons. With rewasd and the flydigi spacestation) you can bind uniuqe inputs to the back butons. So right now, because of the lack of rewasd support i use the switch mode and just create a back button profile on the pc app in the switch mode. This works the same as any other gamepad that has programable buttons. you can only copy already existing inputs. With rewasd i normally use the face buttons for weapon slots and i tend to bind the face button actions to the back buttons. so i can switch to 8 weapons on physical buttons (no weapon wheel needed). and i can jump, crouch slide and interact with the keys on the back.

Hall Effect thumbsticks will not get drift in the same way potentiometer thumbsticks would. The only way hall effects would is from their recentering spring going weak

Vader 3 Pro for me. The only interesting thing to me in the Apex 3 are the force feedback triggers. But I'd rather have more buttons for a lower price than less buttons for a higher price.

@baarg8672 I have both and Vader 3 Pro is still my preferred way to play. That said, the Vader 4 Pro is coming out soon and is looking to be a great combination of the Vader 3 Pro and Apex 4. It has all the buttons of the Vader 3 Pro while also gaining new thumbstick tension adjustment similar to the Apex 4!

Too expensive. I just want a great controller like Logitech F310 but with hall effect instead of potentiometers. The F310 is so good except for the fact that it gets stick drift and breaks every 3 months or so because potentiometer controllers fkn sucks.

Yeah.. I made sure to update everything before recording, so I'm not sure what's up with that. It could be because I was forced to use the "Bluetooth" mode switch on the back in order for the polling rate checker to detect the controller. It's possible it gets to full 500hz on "Dongle" mode wired/wireless compared to "Bluetooth" mode wired/wireless
