  • The latest controller released from China's #1 gamepad company is also the most expensive tied at $160 with the limited edition Apex 3 I reviewed. This is the fastest out of the box wired connection I have tested, but the screen and triggers fell short. The software and website have improved and I have a lot of thought on this new unit.

      I have one question since I'm on Xbox ..
      If I'm using the brook adapter would this controller be faster than the turtle beach ultra ?
      Also I would be nice if you could include the other stick options you have to by separately..like just a view on the webpage or something

      Another thing you might want to add:
      It seems like they updated the way the D-pad swivels compared to the Vader 3 Pro (not sure how it is on the older Apex) so that you can't press all directions at once which is something that annoyed me with the Vader 3 Pro. Did it ever happen while playing? Likely not, but you know.

    Thank you for this great review man. I just saw this controller on an online shopping page and got interested because I am looking for a new controller to be able to play 2 player games. I searched for reviews and then I saw yours and I instantly clicked. I won’t forget last year that it is because of your review of the Vader 3 Pro that made me buy it and thank you so much for that because the product didn’t disappoint. 😁

    This is by far best controller ever! I owned the Vader 3 Pro and this Apex 4 just has a lot more quality/features to it. I've owned the Apex 4 for about a month now and never ran into any issues yet. The Triggers are so fun to mess around with the supported games. I've only played Monster Hunter Rise and Elden Ring with them. Great experience. The Thumb Sticks are phenomenal, very smooth with those anti-friction rings. The best part is having a very fast wireless polling rate. MY NUMBER 1 CONTROLLER!!!

    • @kevoqq

  • @SuperHighbrid
    @SuperHighbrid 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Damn i love these insanely high detail videos. You've always been my go to with controllers.
    I just wanted to share some of the difference i had with that controller being sold on my region in the PH
    1). The apex 4 does have a complete edition with carry case, replacable thumb grips and charging dock (similar to what you'd get to the apex 2 bundle, perhaps that's something that only on my region was being sold? Not sure tho )
    2). There is actual game support for the adaptive triggers, a dude by the name of VK's channel talked about this in depth in his videos how he managed to make ps5 ported games on pc work with the adaptive trigger mappings with the controller through the flydigi software (i would love to have a follow up video ragarding your take on that software side of the controller)
    Anyway awesome video! You're really my fave controller dude on youtube!
    Cheers!

  • @rawrzies879
    @rawrzies879 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +5

    Great vid, there is a tab next to pc config to mod games for the adaptive triggers. It is just like the apex 3 though not alot of game support and it is not in english so it can be very confusing. The triggers though work just like the xbox elite 2 with full trigger pull on adjust stop though love it. Like you said about the sticks i got mine on aliexpress they share he same design as the vader and others so it can be used on any of their controllers just like their dpad. Also u can put any gif in the middle but takes only 35 frames so manly for animation. Those pads that you thought were adhesive where like those arts and craft scratch things back in school. Where you can scratch to let a design shrine through and replace the apex logo on the left side when you remove the faceplate. Sorry for the ramble xD

    Wish list for the Vader 4. Give me those tension adjustments, make the back buttons flatter, and do away with the snap off sticks or make them less wobbly and I have my endgame.

  • @haxx1707
    @haxx1707 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +3

    I disagree with the placement of the home and capture button I think they are fine where they are and I like the adaptive triggers you can just simulate trigger stops if you want and the vibration mode is decent enough to work even with games not supported by flydigi you just have to adjust the settings a bit. Also you don't really need to press the home button to turn on the controller every time unless the controller is in sleep mode that's the only time I ever used it to wake it up. You don't have to flick the switch at the back and press the home button constantly. Other than that though great review as always been waiting for you to get your hands on this controller for a more in depth look.
    You and VK are the only controller reviewer I've seen go into detail with these stuff great work as always

    Been loving my Vader 3, but this does look really nice. It is odd how they leave out some features from the Vader 3 on the Apex despite charging about twice as much. Seems like an oversight, and it seems like this controller would be more competitive with those extra buttons and swappable clicky triggers.

    • @GamerHeavenOfficial
      @GamerHeavenOfficial  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      So I tried with a few games (none overwatch) and I didn’t get anything similar to the adaptive triggers of the PS controllers. I will try it on overwatch, launching it through the FlyDigi Space App.
      Edit: you are not the first person to tell me this so I’m sure there is some truth to it.

    • @VKsChannel
      @VKsChannel 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      It's because you have to
      1 launch the app
      2 click on the adaptive trigger tab
      3 click on the game you want to use the adaptive triggers
      4 click enable
      and then launch the game and play, the dualsense however is just plug and play, hopefully flydigi will find a way to make it work in a plug and play fashion soon@@GamerHeavenOfficial

    Question. In the software under the trigger lock can you essentially lock the triggers to make them feel like mouse clicks like controllers that have that option for their buttons and triggers? I currently have a battle beaver and play a lot of warzone and would love to upgrade but I’m too used to my mouse clicks. 😂

    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?

    I love this controller. However I did by the brook xb2 converter which doesn't work. FYI for anyone hoping to use this on Xbox, the converter gets recognized as an unauthorized peripheral and will be blocked.

    Some info for those looking to use this on Series X wirelessly:
    Just got the controller and its awesome. Dpad really impressed me, as its the first modern controller to have a Dpad to compete with specialised 2D controllers I use like the M30. Extremely impressed with the feel and quality in all areas. The rubber grip feels somewhere between the Elite controllers and Scuff, as far as sticky feeling. Its not to far off from the Scuf rubber and definately feels better than the Elite.
    In order to use the controller on Series X wirelessly I used the Brook 2 adapter (wingman adapter) on the console, but it only worked if I had the wireless dongle plugged into the adapter. Some controllers work wirelessly on that adapter without any additional dongles, but in this case you need the dongle to be plugged into the Brook 2 adapter for it to work wirelessly. For wired just plug it in with a USB C cable to the Brook 2 adapter. Once you have the dongle plugged in just make sure you set the controller to PC and dongle mode. Theres also an Xinput setting in the "more" section, but that may already be set properly by default. This video also explains how to get the menu in English, so do that first. If it doesnt sync right away then try unplugging the Brook 2 adapter with the wireless dongle plugged into it, then replugging it. That fixed the issue for me. Sometimes it syncs right away.
    Also, the controller DOES support mapping keyboard keys on the back paddles. It seems only 1 keyboard key per back paddle, no combinations. I believe this was the review that said it didnt work. I can confirm it works as I was using hotkeys on an emulator to load and save states during gameplay with the back paddles. Worked awesome.
    Stay tuned !!

    Does sound like a great controller tho wish there was a full Analog to Clicky Digital Trigger switch rather than their solution that doesn't so as much but raising the overal cost but super excited to have adjustable stick tension. Maybe I can finally switch away from my elite series 2.
    Definitely the Controller that has me most excited in a while.

    hell yea, im waiting for my eva version to show up. small thing, in their software there is dualsense emulation for SIE games (not all of them, its a whitelist as they implement it). vk touched on this in his video. also the recentering 'spring' is more of a lever thats outside of the main housing of the stick.

      I've had it for a week and it has replaced my Scuf envision pro. I put a .gif of Nerv and the controller looks great. The only drawback I have is that although the trigger lock system works very well, I prefer the mechanical trigger lock.

    • @speechruin
      @speechruin 3 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@Politobm awesome. I too plan on using a nerv alert gif for the screen (they show this in a few marketing shots, is it built in or did you have to make/source it?). I havent had a controller with the option but I think I would also prefer a mechanical trigger lock but I really wanted something that could emulate the dualsense triggers so I figured it was worth the tradeoff for simulated short-throw triggers. I also felt it was worth the tradeoff for the new sticks since they, based on everything I have seen online, present the ultimate solution to drift with external tension springs and their new lever system.. time will tell, I plan to use this on the switch where that will be pretty important so fingers crossed that its good enough.
