DualSense Triggers & Adjustable Hall Sticks | FlyDigi Apex 4 Review & Complete Customization Guide 

mine just came in and this is the most premium controller ive ever experienced in my entire life

Wonderful review. Barely anything missed. Very comprehensive

I'm getting the Apex 4 here soon can't wait!

Yeah this is the review I show my friends. Good work. And a nice choice of natural light background.

Awesome very in-depth review for an equally very amazing controller. Great video Shem!

i have seen pretty much ever Apex 4 video on youtube, and this is without a doubt one of the best reviews of it! You went into much more detail about the software, the settings both onboard and not, the specs and the overall feel of the controller. What i would like to have seen in your video is more about how pretty much everything is hall-effect (sticks and triggers) so no drift. And the mechanisem of the sticks themselves, truly gamechangeing - they have tiny ballbearings inside! But i get that you didnt want to take it apart to show it.

I just bought one of these yesterday and it arrived today... I'm astonished how nice this is! After a month of pulling my hair out with other "pro" controllers, I finally decided to try one of these. Crazy how nice this controller is.

That controller looks like it could go sentient.

Great video! A tutorial for adaptive triggers would be amazing as i currently see none on yt 😄

so underrated. this channel must have millions subscribers

Amazing review

subscribed your reviews are 🔥

Dude wow! what a review! I got mine coming next week and thanks to you I can set it up and feel at ease!! may I share this video on my gaming channel and credit you in? I feel many people in the gaming world need to get this controller and we should spread the word.

are your rumble motors also audible when the controller vibrates? I feel like I can hear a bit of them spinning instead of just the vibration itself

I have a question, I see in all the reviews the input latency being praised of this controller, but on the gamepadle website, the cable latency for the flydigi apex4 appears to be twice as high as the dual sense. Is this correct? What are your thoughts on that? Because when I see youtubers testing with xinput, the flydigi apex4 scores better every time?

hi, you know why my left and right trigger can go only on 20 damping start position and not lower. And in my left and right stick i don’t have the sensibility curve classic but only default instant delay and custom

I cant fined the website to download the space station app for my apex 4 controller NVM

just got the Eva edition, absolutely love it.

will the adjustable springs solve the reentering issues that people claim halleffect controllers have?

can I use a random gif(I mean random size/resolution) to set into it? Or I have to dance to make it look normally?

great vid. can the hair trigger be configured similar to a mouse click? like only have to push to 1% to hit a resistance.

How to reset factory? I just updated app and all functions mess

why i dont have the classic setup on the pc app?

hi how to format setting from flydigi app?

Anyone got a link for taller thumbsticks?

I've had mine for 2 weeks now. I use it with my PC. Every time I turn it on and boot of Call of Duty, the buttons glitch out for the first couple minutes. It's very frustrating. sometimes my gun just keeps firing without pressing the trigger. Sometimes it presses B over and over without me pressing it. Etc. I have not found a solution yet. The only thing that sometimes helps is opening up the Space app for the controller, and just letting it run in the background. Then once things settle down, I can quit the app. The other thing I do not like is the D pad feeling. It's more of a "slide forward/back/left/right" then a down-press click. It's odd, and also very sensitive. Not easy to press repetitively / quickly. Other than that, the sticks are great, the triggers are pretty great, and the other buttons are good.

Curious your thoughts on the ability to have a pseudo "trigger stop" with the adaptive triggers. I absolutely love the Vader 3's trigger stops with the mechanical switch. If this controller had that it would be perfect, but in your experience, how does the pseudo stop feel?

LOVE this controller.

The link for AliExpress for the controller and the dock doesn’t work 😢

I have it it’s great

Looks like a great controller! Wonder how this stacks up to the KK3 Max. Which camera are you filming with? The footage is so clean and sharp!

Awesome controller. Waiting for my second one the Eva version.

I wish the bottom buttons where in line and not two of them towards the middle where its Awkward to use

Great video, where can we buy the different size thumbsticks from?

6:33 thank you, I was wondering about the lightness, does it hard stop screwing when you reach the max or min tension ?

23:27 It looks like the latest version of the software has all of the adaptive trigger stuff built-in w/o any additional mods needed.

I got one, and something keeps popping out of the left thumb stick module. I have to keep pushing it back in after almost every game.

Has anyone played with the trigger settings?

Excelente Review! Muito obrigado!!!

As a proud Vader 3 Pro user: can't wait for the Vader 4 to drop with all these improvements!

Only thing I would want in the future, is that the middle back buttons were to be moved up to the top of the controller instead, where the bumbers and the triggers and for them to feel like mouse click, like Razer does it. Then it would be perfect.

How do I fix the tension of the joystick to be neutral (I.e. linear with no tuning whatsoever) @retrobreeze

Okay to cut out the rumble packs to save weight it sounds quite heavy

Where do I go to buy the high rise joysticks I can’t find them anywhere?

Hi bro, I have a question, do you know a way to change profiles faster? like apex 3. to avoid going to the menu all the time and changing profiles??🤔🤙

do you know what kontrolfreeks fit on this controller? i rather playing with a tall stick, preferably domed too

at 9:47 you say the triggers are analog, but at 10:17 you say they are not. Do you mean the switch emulator does support it? or the controller simply doesn't have it?

すごいね！買う😍

How does the pc see the controller? As a xbox or ps4 controller?

bro pls stress test it.. mine broke, the left analog plastic are snaped. Many user have the same problem on reddit

Kinda disappointing that this thing doesn't support configuring Shift layers like the Xbox Elite controller can be configured with via the Xbox Accessories app. Macros and stuff are a bit sketchy for multiplayer games, but a shift layer can give you enough extra "buttons" that might be needed in different scenarios. I hope more companies move to Hall Effect sticks and 4 back buttons with comparable customization (mainly I want the shift layer feature) because the Xbox Elite Series 2 is an RMA disaster.

I'm playing mw19 and my apex 4 seems to shoot on the slightest touch of the trigger is this normal or do I have an defective one I changed from trigger lock to general mode and both are same

Wish there was a analog deadzone adjustments for mobile

Wish the back buttons were better placed, can not seem to leave my middle finger on it because it just slides off whenever i get into some intense gaming. The scuf envision has a slight edge over it IMO but the icue software is terrible compared to spacestation.

My apex 4 stuck in upgrade mod, how to fix bro?

How comfortable are the 4 back buttons to press?

i have had many premium controller and Xbox Elite has been my favorite. Tell Flydigi i just purchased a controller becuase of this video.

Has anyone had a problem mapping keyboard keys the the back buttons on the controller or the controller disconnecting frequently when hardwired on pc?

anyone having issues simply using this controller wired up with warzone on PC? I cant seem to get it to work with just wire, it only works with dongle wirelessly.

Hey what mode are you using and how do you use the dongle?

I have Samsung s 9 Tablet Android 13 :Soppurt Thais Controller all andriod ???

Now if only Flydigi could make one controller but using the straight (aka Playstation) style layout, I would genuinely love it and buy several even, I really do prefer the dpad on the top instead It's so close for me

I gonna see if I can fit a custom skin onto it

It looks cool but seems redundant to have dualsense features like the triggers without being able to mimic a dualsense or work on a ps5. The gulikit King Kong 3max wins out for me

Is the aliexpress one as good as amazon one

How do I pair it to my switch?

What a pretty controller!! I love the clear blue triggers. Shame about that price, though D=

this controller actually does work with the PS/Xbox

Did I miss the clicky sounds? Did you put them in?

Awesome. Way too many settings for me

with that gameplay you showed didnt sell the performance and accuracy very well lmao

What this controller is missing is an interjection from Adin Walls.

Dualsense edge can be 1000hz pollrate on pc and is 1k wired on ps5

I think its too much overkill in some aspects. I own the Apex 3 and I started to think like that after some time. In the Apex 4 case, the tension adjustment is the first point. It's not user friendly, so unless you are thinking of adjusting them only once, any additional setting will require you to stop playing, remove cover, key and adjust the screw. I saw this feature in a Beitong controller about 1 or 2 years ago but the adjustment could be made on the fly, via some rotating rings on the base of the joysticks. Much more user friendly to me, still the perfect situation would be to be able to adjust these via SW and assign them to the profiles because I can see the point of wanting more tension in certain games like racing, while others its irrelevant or require a different setting. The LEDs continue to be of no use, they are fully covered by your hands. Ye I know this is an esthetic gimmick but if so, then provide it in other areas as well. The screen has some improvements starting with it being in English but I would prefer a screen that could for example align you with the type of game/profile you are using. Screensaver is always the same no matter what. But at least you can configure several stuff now when compared to Apex 3, so some improvement there. And finally off course the adaptive triggers protocol which is a battle they won't win. Add all of that to the $90+ price point its crazy. The tension adjustment on the triggers is probably the best feature this controller has and the Apex did as well. Ye it looks nice, the Apex 3 also still looks awesome but that's it. Just my opinion anyways.

xbox????

Amazing concept. But having a phone holder makes it cringe and un-pro.

This controller is shit for tekken 8 so don't buy it the D pad is worst
