FLYDIGI APEX 4 Wireless PC Controller

The media could not be loaded. Update December 2024 - 6 months and controller works great, just bought a Vader pro 4 to try out and figured I would give an update on this one. By far this is better than the scuff reflex fps I had and the price is way better, but that’s just my opinion, even as frustrating as black ops 6 can be, this flydigi controller has handled the abuse with flying colorsUpdate June 2024 - The replacement controller arrived within the week and I have been using it for several weeks.(Exchange process was simple as any other Amazon sold item, get the new one, stick the old one in the box and for me I take it to the Amazon Fresh store and drop it off) Everything has worked great, I do love this controller, the placement of the back buttons feel good for my fingers verse the scuff reflex fps. I don't accidentally trigger the other buttons like i did regularly on the scuff during frantic MW3 multiplayer moments. I did run the battery down to the point it shut off and had to press the bottom right (up arrow looking icon) to make it turn back on after charging. flipping the back switch on and off didn't work. The trigger lock feature works great, but does take a bit of mental adjustment as you can push through the trigger lock, but after a week or two your brain adjusts and it feeels natural. personally i don't care for analog triggers as the games i play don't need it, but if there are games that use it seems this controller give the best of both worlds. If this original controller truly was a fluke defect, then this controll will stay at 5 stars for me, plus the cost of this is way better than the original scuff reflex fps I boughtL3 push button broke after 2 days of MW3 (Original Headline)Original Post: Everthing was great as I really liked the controller and was getting used to it as I was transitioning from a Scuff Reflex FPS. However on the 2nd day of use playing MW3, the L3 button quit working, I use the a button press to start tactical sprint when all of a sudden it quit working in game. I went to the spacestation app to test it and it didn't work. Basically when I pressed it, I don't feel the snap anymore, just mushy feel. Also I can shake the controller and something is moving around inside, most likely something that broke off internally on the L3 button. either way I am exchanging to give it another chance, fingers crossed it was just a quality issue with the piece and not a critical design issue. I will update once I get the new one and get a month out of it, I really did like setting my dead zone input on the joysticks to 0, which worked perfectly out of the box. Also Space Station remap of the buttons worked fantastic, very simple to remap all buttons to what you want. I was gettting ready to play with the stick response curves for the aim stick on MW3 when the L3 occurred, so hope to play with that and see if I can get fine tuned aiming at the lower input zones dialed in, we'll see......... This will be a 5 star controller for me based on price and what I see so far of my use, if it can demonstrate some longevity that is. My scuff is a year old and has minimal stick drift, I will still use it for my PS5 and use the Flydigi for my PC

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...

At first the controller worked great good handfeel and little to no drift.Then they did an firmware update and now the controller will suffer from random inputs being pressed at times. Example : the controller will think i am holding the stick up to run and no stop until the controller is turned off. Causing me to run off a cliff or into a trap.Product support has been useless for the most part with me just being CC'd in emails trying to hand me off to different people and once they saw this was purchased through amazon they got me to a person who asked me to provide the serial number off the controller and since I have sent over that information a week ago I have not heard a single peep even after trying to reach out again.Do not bother picking up this controller - amazon wont return it and the manufacturer doesn't care since they already have your money at that pont.
