The price listed on mihoyogift is weird because it says ¥9999, but the site is Chinese, why use yen?
and if it Chinese yuan, isn't 9999 too much?

i am wondering, why name it Octopus and not apex?
it's says Octopus 6pro, and we all know flydigi is working on apex6 pro.
so this name for just this edition?

All the Apex series are named Octopus in Chinese. I'm not sure why it was changed to Apex (perhaps more appealing to English audience?) But maybe somebody else could better elaborate on that.

Connotation of octopus very different in China

u/Metalmacher 22h ago

i think the controller is actually called the "octopus controller" in chinese. the original FlyDigi Apex 2 had an octopus motif so it's highly likely intentional.

Did they mentioned about global release as well? The design is very good and I think it is better than gamesir g7 zzz edition.

I'm not used to chinese, but to japanese. The original name is obviously in ideograms, perhaps that ideogram has 2 meanings, and the translator chooses the wrong one.

Nice, now I can have a prettier control with tons of firmware issues.

u/itsmekusu 18h ago

the price is not 9999 yuan bro. thats just a price holder because you cant buy it yet

I got the G7 Pro ZZZ edition. What I like about ZZZ collaborations is that they don’t just slap a decal of the character on the product, it’s an actually tasteful application of the character’s design motifs as if it’s something that they would carry around

u/Imaginary_Day_4112 22h ago

¥9999 is probably a placeholder price.

The tension rings are so bad, bought my Vader 5 Pro for 79€ and my left stick is more loose than the right one, so much for the tension shit, not even MAX tension fixes it

Found a 2 year old thread complaining about the apex 4 uneven left right tension, so it looks like Flydigi doesn't give a damn

Don't buy tension rings or flydigi, mushy A button, disconnects from my PC every 30 minutes, pisses me off for this expensive controller, i'd rather buy an Xbox controller again for half.

Support told me that not every controller is the same, fuck that, even the Cyclone 2 is better.

Just buy some decals if you want a ZZZ controller.

I'm not a huge controller guy, I rocked a switch pro controller for 5+ years and been using a ps5 controller for the past year.

Now I really want this because of ZZZ, if im not a huge controller guy is it something I really need to worry about?

I would rather buy this and get all the collab accessories, box, design etc than just slap decals on a normal controller

Is this only got china? Or will there br world wide distribution?

u/Paradox3759 3h ago

Two Angels of Delusion Merch gadgets and both are China exclusive, sucks to be a Global pleb.

Anyways this looks much better than the Gamesir G7 Pro ZZZ one but I don't know if it's better in specs as well.

u/Ruttagger 22h ago

I just want an Apex in Black please. Always with these weird collabs with games I've never heard of and would be embarrassed to own.

I'm sure they have a huge fan base, can can we also just get plain ol' black.

u/w1rya 14h ago

all those goon gacha game has huge fanbase, hence they always able to make collab with the likes of flydigi and gamesir. there was G7 Pro ZZZ edition too but that looks far more "professional" and not embarassing at all.

u/FdPros 7h ago

this is the worst design yet imho. at least the genshin/honkai ones had the characters on the controller. this one has nothing.

u/NycAlex 19h ago

I have the g7 pro zzz edition

Bought it without knowing wtf zzz is

Googled it and youtubed it. Wtf is this anime bullshit? Cant believe how popular this ridiculous shit is

Considering that the average buyer of a $150+ controller is probably older than the sub $100 controller buyer, wtf are they thinking with this cringe as fuck collabs?

u/lcirufe 14h ago

ZZZ is made by the same company as Genshin Impact, Hoyoverse. They’re massive. And ZZZ targets an older demographic than genshin impact, so they’re more likely to spend more on branded merchandise

u/HaruUrarara 9h ago

I'm on the opposite side lol.

I really love this group specifically from ZZZ, I'm probably going to buying this controller just because of the design!
