Recently Flydigi posted on their social media an image of Flydigi Vader 5S controller, which is designed for Xbox. Is it the same as Vader 5 Pro? Probably not and the 5S will be licensed for Xbox and therefore a bit more expensive.
Update: 09.11.2025. Flydigi Vader 5 Pro is now available for purchase on MiniXPC. Aliexpress and Amazon will come later. Flydigi also dropped a new promo trailer:
When upping the brightness a bit we can see there are still tension rings for adjustable joystick tension, CZ buttons and there’s 3.5mm jack.
Flydigi Thailad said that Flydigi Vader 5 Pro is going to be released in October 2025, but that’s an unofficial info as coming from a distributor and not the company itself.
Edit: there’s now also this Bilibili Vader 5 Pro leak with photos. There are the CZ buttons and tensions rings (for adjustable sticks control). TMR sticks are being rumored and it might be wired only while the 5 Pro will be wireless too.
Vader 4 Pro was a huge success and it’s still a huge bestseller on Amazon and beloved on r/Controller community, so hopefully this one delivers too. If you are on the fence if you should wait for 5S or just buy the existing Vader 4 Pro, I would recommend getting the Vader 4 Pro, it’s still a great controller with a very little to be improved upon.
I love testing and writing about new tech. I focus on keyboards and controllers. I'm also a gamer and an engineer. Check out my Twitter for keyboard and controller news and reviews.
