Flydigi Apex 6 Pro Native Support: ZZZ & Phantom Blade Zero
Flydigi has confirmed native integration work for Zenless Zone Zero and Phantom Blade Zero, with the latter specifically highlighting Quad-Drive haptics.
But what does native support actually change compared to regular X-Haptics? And which features are still unconfirmed?
We broke down what's been announced and what players can realistically expect.

Apex 6 3D-Printed Back Buttons: Four Shapes Tested
Not everyone holds a controller the same way, and sometimes the smallest changes make a difference.
We tried four 3D-printed back button designs on the Flydigi Apex 6: Long, Medium, Short, and Stock+.
The Long had the most satisfying click, but the Medium ended up being our favorite for everyday use.
Check out our hands-on comparison:

Pro Controller Weekly Roundup Vol. 14: Xbox Nano & More
A pocket-sized Xbox controller, a Zelda 40th Anniversary Switch 2 Pro Controller, and Beitong somehow turning the Pangu into a mini steering wheel.
There's quite a bit to talk about this week.
We've also got Sony's new Gran Turismo controller, the GameSir G7 Mini, fresh KP70 collabs, and more.

Vader 5 Pro vs KP40D vs Xeno Pro: $80 Showdown
Three controllers, almost the same price, but very different experiences.
Vader 5 Pro brings a polished all-round experience, KP40D stands out with its tactile controls, and Xeno Pro packs plenty of FPS-focused features at the lowest price.
We put all three side by side to see where each one shines and what you might be giving up.
Which one would you pick?

80+ controllers, and quite a few stories to tell.
Meet Eth, a longtime friend of our community who has built up an impressive controller collection over the years.
We recently had a chat with him about how he got into collecting, some of the rare controllers he's tracked down, and the stories behind them.
It's been great having you around, Eth. Thanks for sharing your story with us!

X-Haptics Explained: How the Flydigi Apex 6 Turns Game Audio Into Touch
The Apex 6 Pro doesn’t just wait for a game to tell it when to vibrate.
X-Haptics can analyze game audio in real time, separate sounds like gunfire, explosions and road texture, then route them to different VCM motors across the triggers and grips.
That means even games without dedicated controller support can still get a much more detailed haptic layer.
And for supported games, X-Haptics can go a step further by using actual game data instead of audio alone.
We broke down how the hardware works, how the audio processing works, and why this approach could matter for the future of controller haptics.

Pro Controller Weekly Roundup Vol. 13: 8K Everywhere
Razer just brought 8000Hz to the Wolverine V4, SCUF has joined the 8K club with the Nemesis Pro, and Nacon went in a completely different direction by putting a screen on a PS5-licensed controller.
But the spec sheets don’t tell the whole story — Razer’s 8K mode comes with a trigger-rumble trade-off, while Nacon’s new screen replaces the PS5 touchpad entirely.
Also this week: new GameSir G7 Pro 8K colors and a first tease of the Machenike G5 Pro V3.

LEADJOY Xeno Pro vs Xeno Plus: Same Mold, Two Different Answers for $10 Apart
They look almost identical, but these two controllers are built for very different players.
The Xeno Plus keeps the sharper, proven JS13 Pro TMR sticks and a lighter feel — a strong fit if FPS is your priority.
The Xeno Pro adds adjustable stick tension, more micro-switch buttons, trigger vibration, and a charging dock for just $10 more.
So this isn’t really about which one is “better.” It’s about what you actually play.

Every Flydigi APEX 6 Collab Edition, Explained
Flydigi didn’t just launch the APEX 6 this year — it built an entire collab lineup around it.
Zenless Zone Zero. Phantom Blade Zero. Arknights: Endfield. Honkai: Star Rail. Evangelion.
And they’re not all the same underneath.
Some are built on the APEX 6 Pro with quad-motor X-Haptics, while others use the standard APEX 6 hardware and put more of the focus on themed accessories and collector bundles.
We broke down every edition, what makes each one different, and what actually comes in the box.

GXXKTRON TG200 Thumb Grips Hands-On Review
A small upgrade can completely change how a controller feels.
Thumb grips are simple — until your thumb starts slipping during a critical moment.
The TG200 comes with three different textures designed for different play styles:

• Control Tread
Different shapes, different feels, one goal: keeping your thumb where it needs to be.
We tested the grip, fit, and real-world feel to see which one works best.

Flydigi Apex 6 Pro vs Apex 6 vs Apex 5 — Which One Should You Buy?
The Apex lineup just got bigger, and choosing the right one isn’t as simple as picking the newest model.
Apex 6 Pro brings the biggest upgrades with X-Haptics, VCM motors, and more premium features.
But is it worth the extra cost over the standard Apex 6? And should Apex 5 owners upgrade?
We compared the three generations to help you find the right Apex controller for your playstyle.

Stick Extenders: Why Pros Skip Them (Should You?)
Stick extenders are one of the most debated controller accessories.
More height can mean better micro-adjustments and smoother aiming — but it also changes your muscle memory, movement speed, and overall feel.
So why do many competitive players still use standard sticks?
The answer isn’t simply “extenders are bad.”
We broke down how they actually work, who benefits from them, and when it might be better to take them off.

Pro Controller Weekly Roundup Vol. 12
This was a busy one.
Flydigi just showed off nine controllers at once, including a huge wave of Apex 6 collabs. Meanwhile, rumors suggest Apple may be working on its own first-party controller — possibly under Beats.
And in a strange turn, LEADJOY announced a competitive Xeno edition... then cancelled it.
Also this week: GameSir × Phantom Blade Zero, a new Beitong collab, Mojhon’s new Switch controller, Thunderobot G3 Ultra, and more.

Flydigi Apex 6 Pro Review: Quad VCM Haptics Tested
Four VCM motors sound impressive on paper. But do they actually make a difference?
We spent a few days with the Apex 6 Pro across Elden Ring, Black Myth: Wukong, Forza Horizon 5, Apex Legends and Street Fighter 6.
The new XHaptics system can deliver some seriously impressive texture and separation — but the AI audio mode still has its quirks, and the official game profile library has room to grow.
Here’s what impressed us, what didn’t, and how the Apex 6 Pro actually feels in real games:
