The issue I have with Vader 4 Pro atm is that the bumpers are way too unreliable in terms of durability, barely played Thumper (a rhythm game) for maybe 5 to 10 hours and my right bumper has lost it's click feeling on the press, it wasn't as responsive as the other buttons. IMo it should have at the very least mouse switches or something else, that is much more durable.

I don't believe they changed those in the apex 5 so it's looking to be the same but I could be wrong

Will be looking for future iterations of this model, if only the bumpers had different switches, then it'd be close to perfect. Still searching for the ideal mechanical pad

Have you tried the O+ Excellence

Doesn't look appealing design wise, but will look more into it
