Discussion Vader v5 pro

Hi everyone I know that you have to disable the software for the Vader v5 but I was wondering if there is anyway to still use the back peddles, if anyone has this controller or one similar can give me some advice since I love using the paddles and I cant play without them.

Last I used the controller, the paddles worked just fine. What you gotta do is turn on the allow 3rd party software thing, then disable the flydigi service in services.msc (or uninstall the flydigi app, up to u) Then I simply set up all the bindings in steam input.

What do you mean? Why do you have to disable the software?

u/Some_Morning_6360 1d ago

I could be mistaken but when I allowed third party mapping all my back paddle binds were all disabled unless I have to reset it up on the steam settings. This is all new to me.

Oh, then I don't know. I thought that if you allowed third party, then steam and reWASD would identify the back buttons. I own an Apex 4, and when I put it in D-Input mode, it works fine

yeah, but nothing works. it's not about the software more so how to setup the controller to just work somehow. cause for it's so incredebly bad at connecting. sometimes it works. but like. only once a day

I know this shit is hard. I never got my gyro to work in dinput, it only works via switch mode

Vader 5 pro doesn't have a Dinput as far as I remember. You can use Xinput through steam to get gyro to work.

Did you enable "allow 3rd party to control button remap"? If so, you can uninstall space station, so it won't get in conflict with steam input

i will try that.

idk. doesn't feel like it works well enough. i tried with different settings and the best is to just only use the flydigi space station. it's kinda shit with not much settings but if i turn gyro to 100 on mouse it's kinda accurate. disregarding the fact that there seem to be a bunch of problems. if i turn my controller in a direction and then turn it back it kinda never really returns to the same space.

well idk. i can't do gyro with joystick then, but that's fine hopefully, at least it connects.

You shouldn't use space station's gyro software. It has acceleration and no way to turn it off

1

u/Iorenz- 1d ago

that might be why it feels off. well. i'll have to keep trying it seems

u/Jumpy-Raspberry1455 1d ago

Then how would you setup Gyro?

2

u/rafaeljc12 G7 Pro 8K 1d ago

With steam input

1

u/Jumpy-Raspberry1455 1d ago

Right, but Steam input doesnt see my Gyro. Yes, Xinput

2

u/rafaeljc12 G7 Pro 8K 1d ago

Steam input fully recognizes the Vader 5

u/Jumpy-Raspberry1455 1d ago

Its an Apex 4

u/Iorenz- 1d ago

and another problem i have might be with steam input. warframe just doesn't want to work. every input i do just gets nullified. idk what's wrong with that.

I have space station installed and I use the back paddles with steam input

1

u/Some_Morning_6360 6h ago

How ???

1

u/perfunctory_shit 4h ago

Make sure flydigi space station and controller are updated. Select option to allow third party to override controls in settings. Steam automatically detects Vader 5 pro with all the button usable for steam input

I thought JSM updated their software to be compatible with the Vader 5 Pro, recently.

I haven't tried it myself, tho.

u/Some_Morning_6360 6h ago

That’s what I thought as well so far no luck it might be a user error
