@danielzh can you make a Call of duty settings video with this controller??
Danial ZH I feel like this would be a great improvement over my series 2 elite that has 8 ms latency compared to this 1 ms. That is unreal. I actually find myself in game warzone hitting buttons twice or moving too quick for my game/controller to react. Will I notice a difference in input lag with the apex 4? How about the software for apex 4? How easy does it integrate with windows?
@DanielZH
Ай бұрын
Hi, 7ms is mostly noticeable in games such as COD, xDefiant, but not as much in OW2, and Halo, because you have much more time and health, about the software, it was a little buggy for me, I needed to download 3 older versions and that worked fine, maybe it was just me, but you should keep that in mind too!

@@DanielZH wow thanks a lot man.
Hello, I have a question. You mean it's better to turn on hdr to reduce the delay speed when using DualSense Edge, right? In the last video, I thought that steady-5 felt like DualSense, so I changed it like that, but is there much difference between the default setting and stable-5? I'm playing Red DeadReception 2. It's not a detailed game like Call of Duty, but I can adjust the dead zone. I set the dead zone to -3 because the blue color of the graph curve is out of range even if I don't touch the DualSense Edge. The blue line shouldn't be out of range, right?
As a pc player, this controller is a game changer.

I bought one after having the Vader 3 pro for a bit. The Apex 4 is the best controller I have ever used. There is a problem though. My Apex 4 left stick cracked in about a month. I am not an abusive user in any way. Others speak of having the same problem. The plastic around the blue billet cracks and renders the stick unusable. Still, while it lasted, it was the best I have used.

Thanks, I tested it for a few days and since Hall effects are more sensitive, I use a bit higher slope to match Analog sticks, in console with PS5 controller I use 0.31 for linear but here I used 0.80.

could you help me ? I still play with my xbox 360 controller and I want to change it, I only play RPGs and action games (god of war, ghost of tsushima, final fantasy), nothing competitive, do you recommend an xbox core controller or this one ?
@DanielZH
Ай бұрын
Hi, if you play RPG and story games mostly, choose a controller that is more compatible and comfortable to you, this delay and speed in the controller is mostly important for competitive players, and is not noticeable to many. I would go with a controller that is comfortable and worth the price and having features I need, in case of this one, I don't think if its necessary, but if you like it, it's a good one!
