Owns both and finds it definitely better than the G7 Pro.

“I own both g7 pro and v5pro and the v5p is definitely better”

Zero connection issues; the signal reaches across the house.

“Vader 5 pro with zero issues.”

No disconnections even from the next room.

“But for my Vader 5 Pro, I can literally go into the next room, game stream from my PC, and get no disconnection issues.”

Hefty and premium; works with Steam Input once third-party controls are enabled.

Two months in, the right stick started spam-clicking.

“dude my 2 month old vader 5 pro started spam clicking the right stick too.”
negativedurability issues

Two V1 units: one had a phantom R3 click, the other won't hold stick tension.

“So I have, had 2 of the V1s. First one the R3 button would just randomly be clicking”
negativequality control issues

Four months on Xbox via an adapter with no regrets; occasionally needs a replug.

“I'm 4 months in with my Vader 5 pro on xbox with a brooks xb3. No regrets”
positive

Prefers it to their GameSir pads: better feel, D-pad, triggers, vibration and software, though it sometimes loses extra-button bindings.

“after I got Flydigi Vader 5 pro, I would use Flydigi in any situation I can over Gamesir.”
positivegood software

The software fights Steam, keyboard inputs misbehave on 2.4 GHz and it drops out more since updates.

“The software is always fighting my steam trying to control it and I find the Vader 5 pro on 2.4ghz now doesn't do the keyboard inputs correctly”

Loves it; the remappable extra buttons help with nerve damage in their right hand.

“I love my vader 5 pro and the vader 5s is the same thing basically”
positive

Their favourite controller and worth $80 for the precision and premium feel.

“My favorite controller is the Flydigi Vader 5 Pro, which is pricier at $80, but I think it's worth it for the precision and premium feel.”

A great Warzone controller: two back buttons and two removable paddles, good trigger stops, magnetic sticks with no drift.

“I have a Vader 5 Pro and think it's a great controller.”
positivegreat performance

A second firmware update errored out and the controller won't turn on any more.

“So I followed the steps to use space station 5, and everything worked well, the firmware was updated.”
negativebad software

The most all-in-one of their seven controllers, with a solid D-pad; a relief after Xbox stick drift.

“I have both vader 4 and 5 pro. The Dpad is solid on both.”
positivegreat performance

Much better than the G7 Pro 8K for the same price.

“If you like G7 Pro 8k , buy Vader 5 Pro , much much better for the same price.”
