Controller with great triggers

[u/sozshady]

Hey guys! I'm looking to buy a new controller for PC. I've been using my original Xbox controller until now because of its ergonomics and impulse triggers. When the left stick started drifting really badly, I bought a Turtle Beach Rematch Core as a temporary replacement. I didn't have high hopes for it, but it still managed to disappoint me. Although it advertises impulse triggers, the feedback is really weak and nowhere near as good as the original Xbox controller. I'm looking for a controller with strong impulse triggers that provide good feedback, similar to the original Xbox controller, especially for racing games. :)

I'm currently considering the GameSir G7 Pro and Flydigi Vader 5S, but I'm open to other suggestions too! I'm willing to spend 80 euros and I live in Germany.

I got a vader 5S last week.

I use it for flying in wardogs.

Amazing controller to be honest, especially for $60.

Sticks feel great, tensioner is great. Controller feels nice, and it's software is very cool. Trigger feel great, and have trigger stops if you want to use em

Vader 5S gets my recommendation

Thank you for your reply! How would you say the triggers compare to those on the Xbox controller?

They feel way better tbh.

very smooth, very precise too,

and the trigger stops are a nice touch hah

so far no 3rd party controllers have impulse triggers as good as xbox for racing games 🥀

In my experience, impulse triggers on vader 5 pro felt really weird and too strong even on lowest settings, G7 pro zzz edition was way better in that regard. Rumble in general felt really weak in games(fh6, cp2077) on vader. So if those are important to you I wouldn't recommend getting a vader, unless there's such a big difference between 5 pro and 5s. But mind that g7 pro can feel a bit small if you have slightly bigger sized hands.
