With adjustable tension hall effect joysticks, adaptive triggers, and even a screen with Mario twerking, David’s here to show off what is easily one of the best controllers he’s ever used.

How do you actually get one of these in Canada?
Pls make a video for the best controllers for fighting games!(street fighter 6 – tekken 8)
are these Xinput only or does it also have Dinput? I have some games that requires D-input with how I have my grip buttons be separate keyboard inputs so they have different functions rather than the standard x input functions
Big oversight on the screen. You can change a TON of things on the screen like macros, extra keys, switch between operating systems (Switch/Win/Android etc) RGB and more. It’s not just aesthetic.
This controller usually goes for $100 Inc tax from China.
I wanted to get this a while back but I could only get it by pre-order and didn’t feel like waiting so I went with Gulikit kk3, which is also nice. Some LEDs just died on my gulikit and I noticed the apex 4 is actually in stock now, so I’ll be getting it soon. I love mechanical buttons, unfortunately razer wolverine also fell apart in less than a year. I’m just buying new brands until I find something that doesn’t break
No TMR for that price?
never expected that Apex 4 has higher latency than cheaper Dire Wolf 3.
I’ve been playing a lot of Tekken and trying to find the best d-pad.
Any thoughts or recs?
What controller can I use with PC ( 1000 polling rate ) that has back button but will allow via software ( not every single game or service ) one to swap the joysticks ( look left, move right ) and triggers ( left fire, right secondary aim )…I am left handed left eye dominate and its a CHORE to get my PS5 controller to work right on PC..every launcher and every game has levels of hell to simply get southpaw mode? On PS5 I could just force everything in system menu reversed…please help
Why are there no awesome controllers like this with the Playstation shape?
only downside on this controller is that RB & LB buttons are easily broken
I had no issues finding there website and the software… (US)
Nothing about stick latency?
You can actually upload any GIF from the internet at 11:57
It just has to be within 35 frames. I added a GIF from cowboy bebop to my Apex 4 It’s pretty cool.
Is it better than the scuff envision pro?

good ???? 10% is good ??????
I purchased today on Temu for $91 and charging base for $23.
Any chance there’ll be a review for the flydigi apex 5?
On Amazon where I bought it, a large amount of the reviews complained about reliability issues. Specifically with the joystick. I personally have had the left joystick pop out of place making it near unusable. But being the Neanderthal I am, I just hit it really hard and that seemed to snap it back into place. Overall maybe not worth the premium price tag until Flydigi confirm they fixed the issue.
Got the controller and all its accessories for jus 94 dollars
Screen is not for aesthetics. It’s handy if you’re using various hardware as in Switch, PC , Android etc.
Xbox controller that doesn’t work on xbox trash
Those screen is more than just aesthetic .. you can press and hold the Return and Home Button together , the joystick setting will come out on the screen
Honestly see how few actually make software for linux I kinda like the fact they even have an app as an option.
i just bought it for 80 dollars! can’t wait to play exp33 with it
Can you use them with xbox
Hard to switch from my elite 2 cause the backbuttons are perfect, i use all 4 and when i see where they are placed on other controllers like the apex 4, i know it wont be as comfortable.
shoulda done a second take..awful vid
Almost bought it, thinking it was going to work on Xbox. seriously, a pro gamer isnt going to be using a near 200$ controller on PC. Key+Mouse is the way to go.
im buy one of that becose of your say its best.
we need a flydigi apex 5 review!
Just picked one up and HOLY CRAP. It’s amazing.
Wait, I need to use my phone and not my PC for this controller?
Trying to find the software to download but I can’t find it, can someone help me?
I love how ever controll this guy touchs is the best controller he ever used and 2 in the same month possibly someone needs to review the title choices unless these are just review ads and not actualy a product review

review beitong Kunpeng 40 pls
For me personally, this is one of the best controllers I have used. I love it
i bought the flydigi apex 4 today at a retro game day and for the price (25 in euro) i dont think i coulda gone wrong
Which is better for sim racing? Automobilista 2, Apex 4, or Vader 4?
They did update their website 🙌
Damn this controller reminds me of those madcatz ps1 controllers that were horrible.
And……….There gone. lol
You didn’t talk about the grip texture or show a better image of where your hands fall on the back buttons or talk about the response time enough. Disappointing video. 👎🏼
Is there a controller that is backwards compatible for PS4?
vader 4 pro is way better in a lot of ways. Top part is for phone folder
I wish more people did the PS stick layout. I prefer it.
junk, broke in a week
I am having a hell of a time deciding on a controller. I wanted a Scuff but they seem to be good but extremely expensive. Seems like the Scuff name is marketed well by Corsair. The Apex is too heavy as I game a lot . The Vader sounds good.
on Ali they are cheaper
