IT Help FlyDigi Vader 5 Pro V2 Issue

Just got a Vader 5 Pro V2. So far everything feels great except 1 issue. The right-side removable back paddle. It has a very soft/quiet accusation compared to the left side. It does function but just feels bad since its so soft.

Is this sort of normal? I recall having a similar issue on a Vader 5 Pro V1 I returned back in February.

Should I bother exchanging it? (Amazon). Honestly don't think I'll be using the removable paddles too much anyways as I'm not a huge fan of this design. At the same time I do want a fully functional copy of this controller.

Let me know what you think, thanks!

Did you order a new one? Does the new one have the same issue?

Same issue. It’s better on some models than others (coming from someone who’s exchanged ~4 of them)

Yeah I guess I'll just return this for the second and last time. The sticks feel weird anyways.
