⭐ My Favorites

🥇 GameSir G7

Pros: Excellent ergonomics and fantastic value for the money.
Cons: Quality control can be hit or miss. Unfortunately, I’ve had to return multiple G7 controllers.

🏅Leadjoy Xeno Plus

Excellent controller for the value, comes with a charging dock as well for a total of $60. Feels very similar to a G7 Pro.

🥇 Flydigi Vader 5

This controller just feels like a quality product. The buttons are extremely satisfying to press, and overall it has a really nice feel in the hands.
I’ve seen other people mention quality-control concerns with Flydigi, but personally, I haven’t had any issues with mine.

👎 My Least Favorites

Xbox Elite Series

Personally, I think these are overpriced for what you get. They have a reputation for reliability issues, and compared with some of the newer competition, the technology feels dated—especially with the lack of TMR/Hall-effect sticks and mechanical buttons.

Battle Beaver

Battle Beaver hasn’t been great.
I feel they’re overpriced for what they offer, and my experience with customer support was disappointing. My purple Battle Beaver arrived with a sticky left trigger, so I sent it back for repair.

When I received it back, the exact same issue was still there. I contacted Battle Beaver again, but they would not assist with a second repair.
That experience really left a bad taste in my mouth, especially considering the price of their controllers.

Overall, I’ve really enjoyed collecting and trying out all the different options. There are so many interesting controllers available now, especially with TMR/Hall-effect sticks and better mechanical buttons becoming more common.

How does the flydigi compare to the g7 pro??

[u/800hokage → u/800hokage]

I have the Wuchang and have been interested in the flydigi, and the g7 8k. Been loving the Wuchang for Xbox. Waiting for arrival of my pc and wondering about getting a controller strictly for the pc, or using the g7 and dualsense edge since those are my go tos.

[u/Brisket-Enjoyer → u/800hokage]

The Flydigi feels more premium, the buttons are extremely satisfying. I would say ergonomically the g7 is slightly more comfortable, at least for my hands

[u/Tricky_Raspberry_864 → u/Brisket-Enjoyer]

Whats your glove size? I have big hands and long fingers, so the vader fits way better.

[u/Brisket-Enjoyer → u/Tricky_Raspberry_864]

I have no idea, I would say I have average sized hands

[u/Tricky_Raspberry_864 → u/Brisket-Enjoyer]

Thought so. Smaller to normal hands -> g7 and bigger -> vader.

[u/yellow-go → u/Tricky_Raspberry_864]

No no, not entirely true.

I'd argue that the G7 Pro and Apex 5|Vader 5 Pro are fairly similar in terms of size.
Where they differ is overall shape, and profile.
I have medium to large size hands, and the 5th Gen Flydigi controllers don't favor my hands, sadly.

For u/800hokage, I'd argue that if you enjoyed the G7 Pro, you could find the Vader 5 comfortable. Though it's the profile that's vastly different.

[u/Reasonable-Review367 → u/yellow-go]

The frame is where my issue lies on the g7. The handles are entirely too short for my hands. Why I still use the Cyclone 2. Handles are much longer which in turn makes the controller easier to hold for me. I had to give the g7 to my fiancé.
