Flydigi Vader 5 Pro

The most significant addition is the Elite Anti-slip Rubberized Grips on the Vader 5 Pro. The 4 Pro is made of premium plastic material, but with the new rubberized finish, the 5 Pro prevents you from losing grip even during the most intense, sweaty gaming sessions.

The Vader 5 Pro is very responsive compared to my scuf and Xbox series elite controller

Visually, the Raider 5 Pro looks great. The black finish with gold accent give it a premium feel without being overly flashy. The shape is clearly inspired by the Xbox layout, so it feels natural in the ends almost immediately. The joystick are surrounded by a texture gold ring.

Spoiler: it’s a very good controller and our controller of the year for 2025 .

Buy Vader 5 if you want upgraded version of the Vader 4 with better button and joystick latency. And buy the Apex 5 if you want the best controller from Fly DG in this generation. I already have an unboxing in my first impression video. You can watch it over here. And also I've compared Vader 5 to Apex 5 and Apex 4 in that video.

Probably the single greatest controller ive ever used.

Here is the Vader 4 Pro beside the Vader 5 Pro. They are very similar in design and look. There are some features that are completely different on them that we'll look at them right now. The first one I will notice is the D-pad on the Vader 4 Pro. They're just a little bit different as in the way they look. So here's the Vader 5 as you can see here. And the Vader 4 is right there.

The Flydigi Vader 5 Pro Is ALMOST Perfect.

The Vader 5 Pro did not just hold up. It felt like a controller designed by someone who actually plays shooters. So, let's put it through the damage per session score and see if it really earns the hype.

What I like about the Vader 5 Pro is that we're going back to an Xbox Elite style layout here. This is in contrast to the Vader 4 Pro, which had more of a left to right back button layout. And I do think this is a good change. I found with the Vader 4 Pro layout, you can never have your fingers on both back buttons at the same time.

I actually really like the way this feels on the Vader 5S and I would prefer if that was how it felt on the Vader 5 Pro as well. Personally, this actually gives me more confidence that the adjustable tension rings will not loosen over time as they did with the Fly Dig Vader 4 Pro.

O OmnicientWolf Gaming OmnicientWolf Gaming · 5.3K subscribers · Dec 2025

The menu buttons in the front are straightforward clicky switches and even the Fly Digi logo acts as a button here. The analog sticks, which yes, are still hall effect as smooth as ever. Speaking of smooth, the newly refined D-pad feels good to click and maneuver. On top, the bumpers feel great with minimal travel time. The triggers have no friction when the trigger stops aren't engaged.

I Didn't Expect the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro to Be THIS Good

A Amaantheman Amaantheman · 465 subscribers · Jul 2026

It has Hall effect sticks, which is great, so hopefully you won't get any drift in the future. It has analog sticks, and of course it also has the the micro analog switch enablers, so you can get that clicky sound, reduce the distance it needs to travel to get that full click. They use a technology called Speed Edge to kind of give you that the really quick action for these triggers.

All right, so the Fly Digi Vader 5 Pro, in short, is the best affordable pro controller you can ask for. Well, in my opinion at least.

K KINGJOKER2MILL KINGJOKER2MILL · 355 subscribers · Jul 2026

I've had this controller since it was released, and ever since then, it's been the controller I've used the most. Let's start with the sticks. One of the best features of the Vader controllers is the adjustable stick tension rings, but there was one issue. After months of use, some people found that the tension rings would loosen over time.

Love the colors here. So, this would be a perfect Father's Day gift. Father's Day is just around the corner. So, if dad is a gamer, you might want to check this one out for him. But, let me go ahead and show you the controller itself. When you receive it, it is in that box and in this packaging. So, everything's packaged nicely. You have your dongle here. And then, here is the controller.

But the paddles were only half of the story, because the bigger question here is whether the sticks now behave like a premium controller should. That part, I can test myself. So stick centering, if the updated Vader 5 Pro returns to center properly, consistently and cleanly, that is massive. And yes, stick centering sounds boring until it starts to ruin your aim.

T ThisisBenTech ThisisBenTech · 2.3K subscribers · May 2026

Basically, there were two major issues with the Vader 5 Pro after it officially released. The first one, and the way worse one in my opinion, is that the mechanism inside the V1 that acts as a contact point between the back paddles and the switches was apparently made with some low-grade plastic that would weaken and break after too much stress and overuse.

E Exclamation MarkYT Exclamation MarkYT · 1.4K subscribers · Dec 2025

The Vader 5 Pro doesn't because the Vader 5 isn't as big as the Vader 4 Pro. I misinput a lot of things and that's my review. Get get the Vader 5 Pro if your hands are not as big as the average as the average as the average human hand size. If it's smaller, like if you if small hands, I would definitely recommend the V 5 Pro. If you have big hands, get the video 4 Pro. Bye.

The first model this controller had a couple of little issues. Essentially like this tension ring were coming loose for some people. It didn't have anything that kind of held it in place. It didn't have like a ratcheting mechanism. But that Vader 5 S, the Xbox version of this controller, and you'll know it cuz that one has a Xbox symbol here. That one had these mechanisms that are now on the V2.

My name is Rob and today we're reviewing Flydigi's highly anticipated Vader 5 Pro. This is a wireless controller compatible with PC, Switch and mobile and is the follow-up to the extremely popular Vader 4 Pro. It features a number of changes, many of which are very similar to those we saw on the Apex 5, but retains most of the features that differentiate the Vader line from the Apex line.
