I just got mine and my god...this thing is amazing. Everything works flawlessly. Back buttons are crispy instead of mushy like some ive used in the past. My sticks was spot on out of the box as well.

Why don't these companies make the sticks with a metal shaft sleeve? I have one from some no-name company, Big Big Won, the sticks are removable and the shaft is metal sleeved. it shouldn't wear out and start grinding against the rings like all the plastic ones eventually do.

I must say i haven't needed to calibrate yet but i am glad they included a tool for it i am loving the controller it feels really good i still dont care about the back Buttons but everything else well hopefully the controller don't die on me or i give my other problems because its a great controller and hopefully the noney i spent does it justice over time its worth it

Hi,
How does this controller stand against the edge. Could anyone explain in a bit detail. I'm looking for a controller that works on pc and ps5 and preferably have adaptive triggers as well as hair triggers for fps. So far these are the 2 that I am thinking.
Thanks in advance.

Before the little rant - relatively to what the market has now, this controller is worth it, I've bought it and I am waiting for it to be delivered. You can buy a cheap car that will last and you'll be able to go from point A to point B and it's perfectly normal choice, or you can spend more and have anything on top of it like comfort, feel and etc., but you pay exponentialy more for it.
Every controller beyond 100$ range is overpriced and people from poorer regions are priced out, so you do what you can. There are a lot cheaper variants to get a hall effect controller or just a long lasting controller for way cheaper like Logitech that costs 20 bucks, but you do what you can. Flydigi apex 4, qrd n5 and etc. has hall effect, but I personally dislike Xbox type controllers. I want to be immersed in the game so I want to have adaptive triggers, heptic feedback, also would love to have back buttons and just have a better feel while I am gaming. I really appreciate symmetrical build of PS controlles and especially ps5 ones, and to have a high quality, high longevity, not only very unprobably to disfunction but also fixable by yourself via it's program, is the best controller on the market. You pay premium, for a truly premium product.
If Flydigi apex 4 had ps5 build, I would have bought it, but.. it is what it is.

For anyone wondering, bought with hall effect, got it. Pc gamer, not used to controllers. Medium sized hands. Left stick rotation error, 3.7, right, 5.1. Back buttons in perfect spots, also feel rather amazing. Maybe not the tightest grip, bus literally does not impact anything. 6 customizable set ups. Size, controller as a whole for me MAY be a tad too big, but those back buttons make it perfect. It's for sure expensive, very much so, not worth the price, BUT for the price - the best controller on the market.

Some dude said his L2 wasn’t a 1 mm click and he was using the 1 mm setting, was that a defect or is that a feature on the controller? I think he got an early one tho because it was a few months ago.

I was at their website and they offer two options. One is the standard version and the other offers "Hall Effect technology". I'm not sure which to purchase. Which one is the best???

[irvsmadhouse]

This and the aim v3. I haven’t tried this one yet but I jus can’t pay for this knowing I can get another aim v3 for the same price and the aim controller comes with ball effect thumbsticks

[TheSixteen]

It’s almost great pairing with the Steam Deck. Except for the capacitive sticks.

[OhDellzy]

When I play cod I play tact flipped. Are the R1 and L1 instant triggers too?

[MS-dgfm]

so i've had youtubers hype this controller several times now... but i cant seem to find the single most important info, does it have gyro?

[Papinegri]

This the best 1# controller in the world right now ❤

[ZeinS-]

It is sad this controller is not even 1000hz polling rate

[shadowxphoenix]

Biggest complaints are the back L1 and L2 feels cheap and like it's going to brake and thats right out of the box its already making a noise on the left bumper and I wish they made it exactly true same size as the PS5 it's a bit smaller and the back buttons I never cared about to begin with I like the clicking triggers and the hall effects and the tool to calibrate it with and its got hectic feedback so thats whats sold me on getting it paid almost $400.00 with the silicone sleeve

[brelanarchy]

I got the Hall Effect version of this controller about a month and a half ago. It is really nice, but I I have wiggle in the thumbstick caps. It's like they don't fit perfectly. It's kind of annoying. Some of the thumbstick caps are worse than others in terms of how much wiggle I get the. It does not appear to affect my gaming at all, it's just a annoying when you push the stick back or forward and you get extra movement. Overall I really like the controller though. I wish we could overclock it.

[VintageFiendClub]

Pretty cool, but for $260? I’ll pass. Definitely for the wealthy.

[Yuniqe..]

Want a hex so bad but these guys don’t ship to Europe !

[SlimKognito]

If stick drift is fixed its worth it even for the most casual noob it seems like stick drift is more common than ever with ps5 controllers and each costs 70 if it is that good as u reviewers say Im sure it’s worth a buy

[giuseppevaccaro]

Mha it's not, go extreme rate kits and build a controller yourself, if you get into soldering you can even swap the joystick for hall effects ones.
