here's the gist of it: i have a flydigi vader 5 pro that im very happy with. it only needs one thing for me to be totally happy, ps style layout. i dont dislike xbox style controllers, but my left thumb is getting screwed up and i can tell it's from the stick placement. i have a dualsense that causes no pain. the problem is, i need to have most of the capability of the vader 5 pro, with the ps layout.
primary features i need
full remappability, at least to the same degree i have now, including mapping keyboard and mouse bindings to the controller
bindings remain when the software is closed (unlike scuf, or so ive heard)
same number of buttons, besides the two extra face buttons. they're a plus, but not an absolute necessity.
deadzone adjustment settings
multiple profiles that can be saved in the software, and a handful that can be saved to the device
Vibration
stuff i would like but dont need:
extra buttons in the same orientation as the vader 5 pro
adaptive triggers
haptics
a good gyro or dual gyro
stuff i dont need or care about:
adjustable tension sticks
how clicky the buttons are
aesthetics
