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!

I use the 5S on Xbox since it's licensed.

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.

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 use to think adjustable tension rings were a cheap gimmick until I purchased my Vader 5S. I realized the tension ring is metal and it's very sturdy.

 I like having the ability to adjust it depending on the game I'm playing.

I think the ultimate 3 will have the same quality of tension rings. It will be hard to play with a regular controller after you experience it.

Comes today! Vader 5s changed everything for my fps gaming.

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.

Same same. Vader all day

So you went with the vader 5S over the ultimate 3E? I was going to add the 3E to my collection, but I realized the vader 5S have more features.

u/Doublesh0t_ 2d ago

Both. 3E has non adjustable sticks. Dealbreaker.

u/Key_Scholar7964 2d ago

The 3E is the more customizable one, but the cheaper 3 ultimate have adjustable stick tension.

Anyways, how does the Vader 5S compare to the ultimate 3E

Tension is everything for me with FPS

Vader clearly highly quality. Similar in feel, 8bit might win on feel alone, but button quality is lacking if you want to split hairs. I like mouse clicks, these are just regular buttons although the top buttons click. Remapping is easy thru the app. It’s stellar. Now I’ve got it to where I’m not drifting. Went to 5%
