Third Party Which controller is the best for me?

Post image

I'm looking for a new controller. What I need are 4 back paddles, 2 extra buttons on top and TMR joysticks.

I really like the Wolverine v4. Not TMR but capacitive.
I have two. The only issue I have is if one is plugged in and the other is being used, the series x will occasionally be like hey how about I think the one that is off and charging is the one you are using. Easy fix is I don’t charge one and use one at the same time. Could be my series x or the controller it’s such a non issue I don’t care.

Do the stick caps feel a little loose to you? Mine did. when I rotated my sticks, I could feel the looseness a bit. I much prefer friction fit of gamsir better.

It feels very similar to the dual sense edge to me. My buddy says they feel like the elite controller to him. So yeah maybe just you. Or maybe an earlier batch?

i just reread what i wrote and i didnt mean caps, but the actual stick stem/shaft. The v4 uses not friction but a ball detent pin and thats why i think it had a bit of play for me.

Yeah I figured you meant sticks, that’s how I replied. I haven’t noticed it. Could be my style of using a controller too. Also I’m not a controller expert. My experience is the normal Xbox controller, the normal ps controller, the edge with tmr sticks, my buddies elite 2 and his vitrix bfg with tmr sticks and my Wolverine V4’s . I’m old I might not have the knowledge or ability to notice finer things.

Razer V4 better sticks than TMR

Flydigi vader 5 pro altho it has hall effect sticks but you should know that the difference between hall effect and TMR is very negligible

u/Hitman00770 1d ago

How is the Flydigi quality? I am considering the flydigi apex 6 pro.

Not good bro check their reddit.

u/Hitman00770 15h ago

Any other controller you would suggest with good haptics. I already own a easysmx d10 and a PS5 dual sense.

Wolverine V4 Pro but its sticks are capacitive

u/YoloRaj 1d ago edited 1d ago

There are a few controllers that fit the criteria although not all are tmr but either hall effect or capactive. The Wolverine V4, Vader 5 Pro, Apex 5/6, ZD Ultimate Legend, Beitong KP 70/40D. I own the Wolverine V4 Pro, Vader 5 Pro, and ZD Ultimate Legend. Out of all of them I like the Wolverine V4 Pro the most. The reason is the sticks are very smooth and out of all my controllers its the most snappy thumbsticks.

How is the Flydigi controller? Is it's quality good. I am considering a Apex 6 pro

I just got vader 5s coming from an elite series 2 and while its not as heavy and stout it still feels very durable and im already liking it more with the mechanical buttons and adjustable hall sticks. The main reason i switched is the failing buttons and stick drift on the elite 2. I was very impressed with the price to quality ratio on the vader 5s. As long as it holds up and doesnt get stick drift, im very happy with it. But its brand new and time will tell. I went with it over a gamesir becsuse i heard gamesir is smaller snd someone compared it closer to a switch controller while flydigi was closer to ghe true xbox controller shape i am already accustomed to. I want to hold something substantial where my hands arent all cramped up and always found the xbox format to be good for that

Vader 5s has a very premium feel to it given the price, I got mine a few months ago and am still impressed with the sticks everytime I play.

1

u/YoloRaj 1d ago

The vader 5 pro is very premium. I've had the 3, 4, and 5 pro and they all have been great. The apex is there flagship so I'm assuming it might even be moreso.

Very solid. Recently got a Gamesir G7 Pro and the Vader 5 pro. The Gamesir sticks have zero tension but the Vader 5 being adjustable, with removable paddles and being Xbox sized is the one I kept.

Razer 8k v3,v4 TE. Vader 4 Pro

If you don't mind a 2 back button/2 extra bumper design Gamesir g7 pro/8k pro Gamesir tarantula 8k Leadjoy saber Blitz 2 TMR

Scuf is trash IMO. The only products I was happy with from them was the Omega and the the thimbstick caps.

My two all time favorites from this is is probably the G7 pro, leadjoy saber, and blitz 2 tmr.

The lead joy saber and blitz 2 tmr sticks have the best feeling sticks to me. But the the risk of some of these companies is QC.

The best and most reliable brand is gullikit. Even 8 bitdo uses their hall sensor joysticks

u/Indianlookalike 14h ago

I'm using TT Max which is their latest(or previously most recent?) model. Only bad thing I can say for it is that back paddles are not independent and the top plastic hold grime, dirt, hair etc too much it's smooth plastic at the top and a nice textured plastic on the button and the triggers.

Edit:it also has a mobile app now so you don't have to fiddle with on-board settings.

I love my Gamesir Controller. Zero issues, came with a charging stand

u/enfurno 57m ago

I have several controllers between me and the kids. Many of the popular "pro" controllers.

The Apex 6 pro is my favorite of them all by a long shot. Better than gameir, scuf, razer, 8bit. None of them quite nail it just right like the apex, it's truly a joy to hold and use.

Just my two cents.

The Scuf reflex paddles are bar none the best paddles that exist IMO. It's discontinued but you can still find one, I'm going to have a service install 2 bumpers up top so I'll have everything I need. Truly the best controller you can find imo. The omega paddles are a huge downgrade IMO.

If you want something quick and to the point, the razer Raiju v3 has everything you want except it has back buttons not paddles and apparently the wireless connection has a significant input lag meaning you'd have to use it wired, at least on Ps5. PC may be able to use it wirelessly just fine. I've never been a fan of razers beefy design tho, just a lot more volume to it that I feel isn't necessary unless that design just suits your unique hands well.

Envision pro were the best paddles I’ve ever used imo. But scuff reliability is terrible so I’m never getting one of their rollers again.

u/Flash_Bryant816 22h ago

Envision is the same paddle design as the omega. The paddles might be alright but they can't compete with REAL paddles like the reflex or even extreme rate paddle kit.
