👀 Flydigi just teased the Vader 5S — an Xbox-licensed controller that showed up on their socials. It’s not the same as the long-rumored Vader 5 Pro, but it looks solid: tension rings, CZ buttons, and a 3.5mm jack are all there.
📅 According to Flydigi Thailand (not officially confirmed), the Vader 5 Pro might launch in October 2025. Some leaked photos on Bilibili show familiar features and possible TMR sticks.
