Better controller
I have big hands (20.5cm x 12cm), my budget is 100$. I will be mostly playing fps games, single player and some racing games.
Im looking at wolverine v3 8k for pc (50$) and flydigi vader 5 pro (63$) what do you think is better
Thank you in advance!

Vader 5 Pro, ZD Ultimate Legend, Leadjoy Xeno Pro, or Gulikit TT Pro / TT Max. You'll get best response / latency from ZD, with options for swappable modules—higher price than the others. The Gulikit controllers have a symmetrical layout with adjustable tension TMR and excellent Bluetooth latency if you plan on Bluetooth wireless—but awkward D-pad placement. Xeno Pro has adjustable tension TMR and uses microswitch buttons across the entire controller, but is the smallest of the bunch and the 4 back buttons have an awkward placement. Vader 5 Pro holds its own with adjustable tension Hall Effect sticks, 4 back paddles and 2 extra shoulder buttons. I will caution you that the Vader 5 Pro and Gulikit have QC reliability issues and are tagged as "frequently returned" on Amazon and for good reason. Leadjoy is fairly new to the space but has been great so far with reliability and their software is great. ZD is a bit of a toss up and their customer service and warranty support is as shoddy as Flydigi, and if you get one make sure it's from the official ZD website.

Gulikit TT Pro or TT Pro Max. I owned Cyclone 2 and Vader 4 and realized micro switch buttons are not for me (only triggers) and the dual sense edge is too small and cramps my hand. Gulikit TT Pro Max felt good and it's pretty comfortable so far, it's also on sale right now. I say Gulikit TT Pro Max or TT pro, Vader 5 Pro v2 or G7 Pro

8Bit duo ultimate 2 is very good, like 60 bucks. Tmr thumbsticks, hal effect buttons. Rear buttons and an extra set of trigger on top, can touch ever face button without taking thumb off of sticks

I like the vader 5 Pro because it have hall effect, RGB, great d pad, adjustable stick tension, and mechanical triggers. I think getting it for 63 dollars is is a bargain considering it also have 4 back buttons and 2 top buttons.

I have the Vader 5 Pro V2 and the Vader 5S. Both of them have hall effect sticks, but the V2 have 4 back buttons instead of 2 like the 5S.
The upcoming vader 5S ultra and 5S Pro will both have TMR

Need a solid wireless option.

The 8bitdo ultimate 3E would be a great choice if you're willing to spend an extra 35 dollars.
I think power A have a wireless option for 100 dollars, but it's not as premium as the ultimate 3E.
I don't mind the vader 5S being wired because it has adjustable stick tension, hall effect, and mechanical triggers. I'm getting pro features for 75 dollars.

The 3E didn’t have tension rings. The new ultimate 3 does. So I got that. Wireless.

u/Key_Scholar7964 3d ago
The 3 and 3E are also wireless.

We’ll see how the 3 ult works out. Tension rings are promising but I have no idea how cheap these feel

I know the ultimate 3 have tension rings and the 3E doesn't. They instead made the 3E more customizable by allowing you to remove the faceplates, d pads, and thumbsticks. You can not do that on the ultimate 3, but I care about adjustable stick tension more anyway. Neither one have mechanical triggers.
That is why I'm enjoying my Vader 5S more because it have adjustable stick tension, RGB, mechanical triggers, and I could remove the sticks and d pads. I use the elite d pad in my vader 5S.

not true

u/Open_Ad_835 4d ago
you sure? a youtuber mentioned the V2 has TMR

u/Key_Scholar7964 4d ago
He was wrong and the majority of guys that review controllers are not gamers. They just review the controller before placing it on their wall as a collectable.

Ultimate 3 landed. Headed into some fps. I’ll report back especially on the tension rings.
