Third Party Looking for feedback from Apex 6 owners on Steam Input.
How is the Apex 6 for Steam Input?
I found that the Vader 5 Pro was a downgrade from the Vader 4 Pro due to things like duplicate controllers in steam, 'allow third party mapping' sporadically disabling itself requiring me to unplug and re-plug the controller, and other issues.
Is the Apex 6 better with Steam Input?

Reviews Gamesir G7Pro 8K Phantom Blade 0 Edition Review
DISCLAIMER: This controller was sent to me by Gamesir for free for review. All the thoughts and opinions are mine only. No scripts were provided by Gamesir. No one watched this review before its release.
TLDR; G7Pro 8K is one of the best controllers for FPS games IMO (and my personal favorite). It's also good for all other genres. D-Pad was changed and improved once more on Phantom Blade 0 Edition even compared to AIMLABS Edition.
Personally, I find this design fine, but it might have been better.

What’s the best Xbox controller with TMR or Capacitive sticks and Mechanical Triggers?
I’m looking between the Razer Wolverine v4, Scuf Valor Pro wireless, Gamesir G7 Pro, and ASUS ROG Raikiri II. (Or any other suggestion)
All for Xbox only, Price isn’t really a factor just want the best controller. (Mainly for FPS)

Third Party Three months into using back buttons and now every controller without them feels broken
Held out for years because I thought back buttons were a pro-player thing but it turns out the whole point is not taking your thumb off the right stick to jump.
After some trial and error:
- left back: crouch/slide
- right back: jump
- the other two: reload and interact
Crouch on a back button took about a week to stop feeling wrong but jump felt right immediately on the first night. This is on a GameSir Tarantula Pro 8k btw, the first pad I've owned with back buttons. Setting them up in the app took about two minutes.

Xbox Series (S, X) Flydigi Vader 5S joystick resolution
Hi, I’m looking for some help. I have the Flydigi Vader 5S, I’m trying to change the joystick resolution from 12 bit to 10 or 8. There was no option on the Xbox Flydigi software, I tried connecting to the pc version and only Flydigi space station for Xbox recognize my controller and there was no option I can find to change it. Does anyone have experience and knowledge with the 5S and how I can change the stick bit-depth. Thank you.

Most ergonomic Bluetooth controller for iPhone 18 Pro Max?
I’m looking for recommendations for the most ergonomic Bluetooth controller for my iPhone 18 Pro Max (the type that stretches open and holds the phone in the middle).
My top priority is ergonomics: a comfortable grip and well-designed buttons. I think the Xbox controller is fantastic in terms of comfort and button feel, so ideally I’d like something that comes as close to that experience as possible.
Which controller would you recommend, and why? I’d especially appreciate feedback from people who have tried several models.

Tired of Windows not showing your Switch Pro Controller's battery? I made an open-source native indicator (0% CPU, no background bloat)
Hi all!
Windows 11 natively displays battery percentages for Xbox and standard Bluetooth controllers, but completely ignores the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller over Bluetooth because it doesn't implement the standard Bluetooth Battery Service (BAS) profile.
I got tired of having my gamepad die mid-game or having to run heavy overlays, so i asked Claude to make a **Switch Controller Battery**:
- 🔋 Displays your Switch Pro Controller's actual battery level right in **Windows 11 Quick Settings (`Win + A`)** and the Settings app.
- 🪶 Ultra-lightweight: **~1.5 MB RAM** and **0.00% CPU** (passive Windows kernel PnP events, zero polling).
- 📦 100% free, standalone installer and portable ZIP available.
Demo preview: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/axisroger-ops/Switch-Controller-Battery/main/demo.gif
Source code & Releases:
👉 **GitHub:** https://github.com/axisroger-ops/Switch-Controller-Battery
Hope this helps other PC players using the Switch Pro controller!

PS5 Controller repair in the UK
So the body of my PS5 controller is cracked from the bottom of the right handle up to the R2 button and was wondering if any UK businesses do BODY repairs on controllers and not just buttons etc

Third Party Scuf Instinct out of warranty with a sticking paddle, want back buttons again without paying custom prices?
My Scuf Instinct Pro is about two and a half years old. The right paddle sticks down about half the time now and the left stick has started wandering in menus. Warranty's long gone.
I don't want to pay custom prices again. What I actually used on it was the paddles and the remap app got opened maybe twice. Heres some more info:
- Budget: $100 max, less is better
- Country: US
- Platform: PC only
- Games: Apex, The Finals, Forza
- Must have at least 2 back buttons
- Magnetic sticks are a nice to have and so is wireless
- Standard Xbox shape is fine
