  • Flydigi Vader 4 pro has that + 2 additional face buttons + adjustable tension on the sticks + hall effect joysticks + a toggle next to each trigger to reduce the travel distance + clicky mechanical switches.

    And this same Steam beta version that added 8bitdo support also included support for this controller as well so that you can remap the extra buttons (but it’s only detected as a vader if you are using the included dongle and the controller is set to dinput mode).

    The only thing I’m missing is capacitive joysticks that can be used for turning on/off the gyro… that’s a pity because I find the gyro kind of annoying to use without that.


  • If I remember correctly, Valve stated that for being “Steam certified” the controller needs to have capacitive joysticks to regulate the gyro, similar to the “Horipad” that they partnered to release.

    I was hoping that 8bitdo would launch a controller that actually has this because it makes gyro much more viable, to the point that I really don’t like using gyro without that.

    But this announcement is just to indicate explicit compatibility for steam input (which has been available in the beta for a while, btw). I don’t think this is a huge change since technically they were compatible before too… even if it was through the xinput / dinput interface without being recognized as 8bitdo.
