Hi, so I've been using a default xbox controller (I believe it's the one that came out with the Series X generation) since about December of 2021, recently the charging plug/usb thingy started giving me trouble and acting up (somehow literally the only issue, and 0 stick drift somehow lol) so I've been using it with bluetooth and I really don't like the delay with bluetooth mode so I've been thinking of replacing it and the Vader 5 Pro and the G7 Pro 8k were the ones I liked the most but I am really not sure which one to go with. I play shooters on Mnk but pretty much everything that doesn't need aiming I play on controller (Rocket League, Forza, Souls games, etc) so I was considering the Vader one for the trigger vibration and the stick tension adjustment but I also heard from many people that the stick tension wears off with use and the paddle type on it is also one that I've heard many people having issues with and breaking them. On the other hand, the G7 Pro 8K has the fastest response time of any controller in wired mode (likely what I'll be using like 99% of the time) and has TMR sticks and comes with the doc included and I also wouldn't have to deal with Ali Express, but it's missing the other features I mentioned for the Vader so I am honestly really confused. Also the Vader is shaped more like an Xbox controller so I guess the G7 might be less comfortable?

Sorry for rambling about the whole thing and I know I am probably overthinking it but I mainly just wanted to know what other people have from their experience since I have literally never used any controllers other than the base xbox controller and the dualshock 4 before that (many of them because of the stick drift). If you've read this far thank you for taking the time even if you can't help ❤️

I've been using Geforce Experience and Shadowplay for years now for clips and things like that but recently i started using SteelseriesGG sonar app to split my voice chat channel and game channel and media channel to have different EQs for each, but it seems like Shadowplay only captures the game channel and my own voice so I can't hear my friends at all, and I tried OBS as a substitute but that one seems to be randomly saving clips for some reason, like it'll save 20 random ones that I didn't intent to clip at all. Anyways, does anyone have a solution for this or is my only option to either just deal with OBS and figure that out or stop using steelseries sonar.

if you took the time to read this far, thank you!
