Flydigi Vader 5S – Xbox-Licensed Wired Controller

Flydigi Vader 5S – Xbox-Licensed Wired Gaming Controller

The Flydigi Vader 5S brings Flydigi’s flagship control tech to Xbox. As an officially licensed controller, it works natively on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows PC. Moreover, it packs FORCEFLEX Hall-effect sticks, dual-mode FORCESWITCH triggers, full mechanical ABXY buttons, and 4-motor vibration. So you get a genuine pro-feature upgrade over the standard Xbox pad, in a reliable wired design.

Officially Xbox-Licensed

The Vader 5S is officially licensed by Xbox, so it just works — no adapters, no workarounds. It is fully compatible with Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10/11. As a result, you get native button mapping, a physical Xbox button, and reliable plug-and-play on console.

FORCEFLEX Hall-Effect Joysticks on the Flydigi Vader 5S

The FORCEFLEX sticks use Hall-effect sensing for true centering with zero drift and zero dead zone. In addition, they are rated for 10 million cycles — roughly twice the lifespan of typical Hall sticks. So your aim stays precise long after ordinary controllers start drifting.

Industry-First Tension Ring

A Flydigi-invented ratcheting tension ring lets you tune stick resistance from 40gf to 100gf. Loosen it for fast flicks and agile movement. Alternatively, tighten it for steadier tracking and controlled aim. Therefore, you can match the feel to each game instead of adapting to one fixed setting.

FORCESWITCH Dual-Mode Triggers

A physical switch flips each trigger between two modes instantly. Linear mode uses 256-level Hall-effect sensing for smooth analog control in racing and driving. Micro-switch mode gives a clicky press with zero pre-travel for instant fire in shooters. So one trigger handles both, with no menus or setup.

Full Mechanical ABXY Buttons

Unlike rubber-dome pads, the Vader 5S uses full mechanical micro-switch ABXY buttons. Consequently, presses feel faster, crisper, and more consistent. They also last far longer under heavy use.

Rotary-Pivoted D-Pad 2.0

The Rotary-Pivoted D-Pad 2.0 registers clean inputs in every direction with no cross-triggering. As a result, combos and diagonals land exactly as intended. It is ideal for fighting and platforming games.

6 Remappable Buttons + 4 Profiles on the Flydigi Vader 5S

The Vader 5S adds 6 extra remappable buttons: 2 rear buttons (M1, M2), 2 mini shoulder bumpers (LM, RM), and Flydigi’s signature C and Z face buttons. Plus, you can store 4 profiles and switch between them on the fly by holding the ABXY shortcut — no re-mapping needed.

Xbox-Native 4-Motor Vibration

Four motors drive independent vibration in both the triggers and the grips. Because the feedback is tuned by Flydigi, it feels richer and more guided than standard rumble. You can also adjust the intensity across 11 levels on the fly.

RGB Lighting, 3.5mm Audio & Mute

A customizable RGB light strip lets you personalize the look. In addition, a built-in 3.5mm audio jack supports wired headsets, with a dedicated mute button and indicator for quick voice control. So chat and game audio stay within easy reach.

Flydigi Space Station & Wired Reliability

The Xbox version of Flydigi Space Station handles remapping, macros, stick curves, trigger tuning, and firmware updates. Because the Vader 5S is wired-only, it has no battery to charge or replace, and the cable keeps input lag low. The included 3-meter cable gives you plenty of room from the couch.
