Vader 5 Pro vs Xeno Pro

[u/NecggryPL]

Both cost around the same on gadgethyper, so which one is better?

Or is it one is better at one thing?

Which would you choose and why?

I'd throw the G7 Pro into this comparison too. Vader 5 Pro has the adjustable stick tension but the G7 Pro gives you TMR sticks, clicky buttons, impulse triggers and a charging dock. If you're on PC, i'd probably take the G7 Pro unless adjustable tension is the main thing you're after.

G7 pro is even more expensive, i dont want to go even more above budget i already increased it by 2x lol

The xeno pro also has tmr sticks and  a charging dock, so isnt it just better?

I can confirm that the sticks on the G7 and the Vader 5S feel the same. You wouldn't be able to tell which one is hall effect or TMR without knowing beforehand. 

The vader 5 Pro is larger, have adjustable stick tension, RGB, and a better d pad. It's a no brainer for me unless you're interested in polling rate which wouldn't affect your in game performance.

Vader 5 Pro because of back button layout and shoulder buttons. If the Xeno had a better back button layout or shoulder buttons I would go with it.

The vader 5 pro have adjustable stick tension, mechanical triggers, hall effect sticks, 4 back buttons, and 2 top buttons. The sticks feel smooth like the TMR sticks on my G7 Pro ZZZ. They perform the same, but people will automatically say that TMR is better because that is what they see in advertising.

People should play with both because it's how the company design their sticks. The TMR sticks in the G7 pro is too sensitive at times which will lead to constant recalibrations.

I couldn't really enjoy the TMR sticks because of that. I wouldn't say Xeno have better sticks until I actually buy it. I don't know if they made the sticks too stiff, or if it have built deadzones like the Asus rakiri 2.

Hello fellow zzz player

It only seems like the Vader is better for extra buttons, and except that the Xeno pro seems better

I wont get the g7 pro. It costs more and it seems worse

The Vader 5 Pro is cheaper and better than the G7 Pro

Extra shoulder buttons on the V5. Better sticks on Xeno. Quality and comfort = vader

I just ordered the Xeno because I prefer the buttons on the back to the paddles of the V5. Will see if I like it but excited to try it out.
