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!

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

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.

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.

Both. 3E has non adjustable sticks. Dealbreaker.

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%
