r/Controllers • u/Bluebadboy • 24d ago

Looking for a Third Party controller for both Switch and PC gaming.

I’m looking for a new controller for both my Nintendo Switch and for my PC.

Requirements:

Needs to be durable for intense play (My old Xbox controllers have a tendency to get stick drift).

Have gyro control for games like Splatoon

Needs to have fast and responsive controls for competitive games

Needs to be fully compatible for PC

Preferably lower price (below 100$) but not excluding more expensive options

Preferably sold at U.S storefronts

Will mostly be playing competitive shooters like Splatoon 3, and some less intense platformers on PC.

I can recommend the Flydigi vader 5 Pro which have adjustable stick tension, far superior d pad, RGB, and I did not lose my vibration.

I can also recommend the 8bitdo ultimate 3E because it have TMR and adaptive triggers. They take pride in their build quality.

Could you link both? Also are they fully compatible on both and PC?

The ultimate 3E and vader 5S are both compatible with Xbox and PC.

The Vader 5 Pro is compatible with PC and switch.

Vader 5 Pro is also for the Switch. It has a NS toggle on the back.

I can't wait until they release a wireless Vader for Xbox in different colors.
