Flydigi Apex 4 is a new controller with adjustable stick tension

Flydigi just announced a new controller – Flydygi Apex 4. It has some pretty great features including adjustable stick tension! It’s priced at $159 on Amazon and a little bit cheaper on Aliexpress. And there’s a more expensive Eva edition. The Eva edition also includes a set of accessories – case, height caps, charging dock and mobile holder.

Edit: Apex 4 is available on Amazon US store – it’s priced at $159.

It seems like an big evolution over Apex 3 Pro and it’s main selling points looks to be the Hall Effect Joysticks which have very strong return to the neutral position. And the sticks have adjustable tension. And it also had adaptive triggers. It’s available in China right now and should come to Aliexpress and Amazon this month (probably 21th of January 2024).

It looks like a great competitior to the Gulikit KK3 Max controller.
