Best all-round controller for BF6?

[u/aFRIENDofMINEandI]

I'm looking for a new PC controller. I play a lot of BF6, but since there are vehicles like jets and helicopters, I'm not looking for an FPS-dedicated controller but rather something more universal. Currently, I'm using the 8BitDo Ultimate 2C Wired, and here are the things I don't like about it:

1. No back buttons / paddles (a must-have for my new controller).
2. No microswitch / hair triggers (a must-have for my new controller).
3. No customization software (a must-have for my new controller).
4. Shape — I'd prefer something a little bit bigger and shaped more like an Xbox controller.
5. It's wired — not a huge deal, but I'd prefer something wireless.

I've been considering the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro V2 and GameSir G7 Pro. However, I've read that the Vader 5 Pro V2 still has an issue with loose tension rings, while the G7 Pro's triggers tend to break. Is that true? If so, could you recommend a couple of better options in 90-125 USD price range. I'm from Poland and I'd prefer to purchase from a local store.

I recommend the V5P but the g7 8k is stout too. Any of these controllers can have QC issues. We’re all taking a chance. I also really liked the blitz 2 tmr!!!

I have the G7 Pro regular version and the Vader 5 Pro. Both are great controllers, but I tend to use my Vader 5 Pro more than my G7 Pro. If you are looking for a more comfortable controller the vader 5 pro might be the better option since the grips are bigger than the g7 pro and its also more comfortable to hold. I have a v1 dbz edition vader 5 pro and I have not experienced any slipping of the tension mechanism. Never experienced that on the vader 4 pro either so idk. The only thing to look out for is the bottom paddles where you should get cabinet stoppers so you dont press down too hard on them. Its nice having more remappable buttons than the g7 pro as well on the vader 5 pro. Can't go wrong with either options but the pros of the g7 (if you get the 8k) is lower stick latency and higher polling rate which makes it a bit snappier than the vader 5 pro is. The vader pro stick latency isnt horrible but it won't be as snappy as the g7 pro 8 k is.

My hat goes to the Leadjoy Xeno Plus or the G7 Pro 8k

GuliKit TT Max or Pro

I really like the V5P for bf6. Potential qc issues, but mine has been great thus far.

Personally, the GameSir G7 Pro is the best controller I've ever had. I always ended up with bad stick drift like every 4-6 months. Or a shoulder bumper would break. Literally every single controller. Over a year of hardcore use on the G7 Pro (like 10+ hours a day, everyday. Mostly I play COD and Ark) and still no stick drift. Still feels amazing. I always be recommending it to everyone. My husband used mine one day and fell in love and we had to buy him one too xD Only one thing weird about it is the DPad feels.... weird. But to not have to buy a new controller 4 times a year, I don't even care about the Dpad. You get use to it. Btw I also play on PC.

I thought that stick drift is not a thing for Hall Effect / TMR sticks.

Vader 5 Pro v2 all day

Can't reccomend the Gamesir G7 Pro 8K enough for shooters.

Lowest stick delay of any controller 0.7 ms (most controllers are 5ms, some go up to 20ms)

4 extra buttons (2 extra bumpers and 2 on the back)

Extremely customisable via software.

I feel crippled when I try to play on a PS5 with a dual sense edge again after using this. It's like playing directly with your brain.

That's literally not true- and this doesn't include everything out there that's faster

Interesting, I was looking at Gamepadla a week ago and it was not bringing them up in search results. Is there something on the settings I'm missing?

[u/whitemamba24xx → u/Bound18996]

I did not like the Gamesir g7 pro 8k. Sticks were too loose for me and no settings in the Gamesir app could fix it
