FLYDIGI APEX 4 Wireless Gaming Controller For PC/Switch

Right out of the box it feels premium, I'm changing my 2 years old elite series 2 for this because stick drift, was looking for reliable hall effect joystick for FPS games (mainly COD).

Pros:
- A lot of customizations options on the PC App, especially for the adaptive triggers and the leds.
- No Overclock needed, Pooling rate over 1000hz and Response time under 1ms both Wired and Wireless.
- Hall Effect sticks are here to stay, Dead zone 0 with Zero stick drift is awesome, played for 4 hours and it feels amazing.
-You can customize and even do the mapping of the back buttons on the LCD screen included on the controller.
- Stick tension can be adjusted with a litte magnetic tool included on under the faceplate, just like the elite series 2 from Microsoft.
-Mouse click buttons, feels very responsive.

Cons:

- No physical option to reduce the trigger damping, its software based using the adaptive trigger force to control the damping but if you press hard enough you can bypass this config and get a full press on the trigger, it works but in the heat of the battle it can by a bit distractive.
- No high-rise stick included out of the box, or any replaceable stick included, just what you see is what you get, other controllers in the same price point comes with a lot more spare and different types of grips for the sticks. (FYI... Control Freaks for PS5 fit this controller).
- Back Buttons location is OK, but the upper ones are a little harder to push.
- PC app even when you change the language to English have some messages only in Chinese.

And that's all, i will be using this controller for like 2 to 4 hours of COD a day, will keep you updated.

Enjoy your time been sniped by the Kar98k on Rebirth with an excellent controller!!!

Update 08/25/24:
After leaving an initial poor review based on my previous experience purchasing two of these controllers, I have decided to increased my 1 star rating to 5 stars. Flydigi customer support contacted me directly here on Amazon and sent me a brand new controller at no cost; even after I returned my other ones via Amazon and got my money back. Also, not once did they request me to change my review either, I am doing this on my own accord. Their customer service went way above and beyond what I expected. I decided to put the new controller through the normal paces as I would any other controller I own. This new one is free from any of the previous issues I experienced (left joy stick breaking and the trigger stops not working) and performs flawlessly so far. Seriously, not a single problem so far with this controller. I did increase the tension of both joy sticks a little bit as soon as I received it, so I am not sure if that has had anything to do it it (I have heard reports that they break easier when they are loose but ymmv). After receiving it and using it for about a month, I finally had to charge the batteries yesterday which was pretty impressive. In terms of comfort, it really is one of the most comfortable controllers on the market in terms of feel and weight. The only thing I still wish it had was back paddles like the Elite Series 2 controllers; but after a while, you get used to the finger placement (I like to use 4 fingers on the back). In my opinion, this controller with an Elite Series 2 back paddle design would be the absolute best on the market bar none. Once again, their customer service really came through and I can honestly say I would recommend this controller and you can buy with confidence should anything go wrong, they will help you.

I have gone through 2 of these controllers within the past week. First one had a right trigger that would not work properly even when using the Flydigi Space Station app on pc (right trigger lock would work but wouldnt register when using it). Sent it back and got a replacement where the left joystick is now broken with major stick drift. So much for hall effect sticks huh? I am gentle with my controllers so that they may last. I am shocked that my Xbox Elite Series 2 from 2 years ago is still going strong without any problems or quality control issues like they are known for having...This controller looked cool and felt comfortable in hand, but is plagued with quality control issues. Maybe I just have bad luck, but if it were me, I would avoid buying this and get something else...

I don't know where to start. I have always loved controllers. I was the peraon that loved it when Xbox would drop new colors. I've tried both Xbox Elite Series 1&2. SCUF Instinct Pro Wireless (the WORST OF ALL OF THEM). I've tried the Victrix BFG, Razer Wolverine Ultimate, Gulikit King Kong 3, and so so many others. The SCUF was sent in for warranty repair for failing buttons within 2 months. I'd like to add that I've never broke a controller. It stayed in its hard case when it wasn't in use. No liquid damage. Never dropped. Nothing. By the 1 year mark, it has 4 failed buttons and a janky trigger. Absolutely the worst quality product I've ever bought. None of them even came CLOSE to the amount of specs, features, and tech that's in this thing. Had it a few weeks. Lots of use. Not 1 issue. Force Feedback Triggers. Magnetic faceplate that pops off (Like the SCUF but the Flydigi doesn't feel as cheap. In the right hand side, you can pull out the little tool (held in by magnets) and adjust the joysticks resistance levels. Then when you put it back, the magnet is so strong that it pulls it in as soon as you touch it near it. The display is nice in terms of functionality. Can change Modes. Speeds. Profiles. Make adjustments on the fly. Check battery stuff. The only issue I had was that it starts in Chinese and does NOT tell you how to get it to English. So after a few minutes of clicking around, I found the word English and voila. The battery life is great. Charges SUPER FAST. The force Feedback Triggers are so cool. Way better than the usual switch with only 2 parts. This has 100 stages. You can pick any number. How much resistance it gives at those numbers. If it clicks or just pushes. It's wild and it ALL WORKS SO WELL. The polling rate came in higher than ANYTHING I have ever tested or even seen tested. I can go on and on about it this controller. I went in with decent expectations. But this set the bar so high. And for the price, it should be dominating everything.
