Customer Ratings & Reviews

10/10 favorite controller so far I use it for 2k and COD response time is amazing battery life is great and pricing is better here in Best Buy

Feels like an Xbox controller. On the heavier side aswell. I’ve had 2 and both controllers had minuscule stick drift.

Very nice controller bought it for my ps5 and pc works great would recommend

I love the controller just the joysticks out the box a lil to stiff for my tast, but other then that amazing controller

Easy button layout. Easy to use. But have had issues with the buttons lagging.

Great controller. Loved the new handles and I’m also able to play multiple shooter games such as Call Of Duty, Fortnite and Siege

The controller is great has a lot on binding options easy to use and the accessories that come with it are really good too

PROS + Easy to adjust modular design with included customizable components + Lightweight and comfortable to hold, perfect size for a controller with nice grips + Long battery life + Hall Effect thumbsticks & hair triggers + Included fight pad + Plug-and-play with consoles + Mappable buttons + Case holds all of the components and cables nicely CONS - No rumble on console or PC - No PS5 native features like haptics, adaptive triggers, built-in speaker, or microphone - 3.5mm headphone jack and touchpad are both disabled on PC - No bluetooth connectivity - Trouble getting PC to recognize controller on set-up - Occasional connection drop-outs on both console and PC SO-SO * Face buttons are pretty mushy, which may not be to your taste * Rear buttons are pretty clicky and not replaceable or able to be capped * Hair trigger setting is somewhat awkward THE LONG AND SHORT OF IT I tend to game on a mix of PS5 and PC (probably about 70/30 split on average), and so was pretty excited to try the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded, which prioritizes modularity above all else. To start with the good, this modularity works really well on the whole! You do have to use a custom screwdriver to loosen the screws on the two modular components on the face of the controller to replace or adjust them, but it is a very fast process taking maybe 20-30 seconds in total, and for something you likely won’t need to do often is perfectly acceptable for me. Sure, maybe magnetic releases would have been nice for example, but it really is not much of a deal-breaker in any way. What this allows you to do though is replace one side with say the included fightpad, or rotate the modules if you prefer offset thumbsticks for example (like I ended-up doing). The size of the controller is a bit larger than an xbox one controller but feels smaller and lighter than a PS5 dualsense. I found the size perfect, but I think it feels better using a more Xbox style layout rather than the dual thumbsticks on the bottom like the PS5 controller, which in this size felt a bit cramped and resulted in me hitting the back buttons on accident more frequently. Thankfully this was easy to do and I was up and running in no time! Likewise, you can change the caps on the thumbsticks by just pulling them off and replacing them with the included alternate tall/short thumbsticks, or add your own 3rd party thumbsticks. Likewise, the d-pad is swappable and comes with a flat pad by default, a cross-flat hybrid which is slightly raised, and a traditional low-profile cross. I preferred the traditional low-profile cross and so stuck with it. You can also adjust the hair triggers using the switches on the back, which is nice and also a bit awkward where you depress the trigger to the level you want, while holding the back buttons, and then release the buttons when you have the level right while keeping the trigger depressed. It works and sounds good in practice, but feels a bit overcomplicated and imprecise vs just using a switch with different levels. Not terrible, just a bit strange. Unfortunately, the back buttons are not swappable or able to be capped, so you are kind of stuck with them. They are pretty clicky and I would accidentally press them on occasion, but overall they are serviceable. Nothing spectacular but just a bit unfortunate you can’t customize them more. What you can do though is remap the buttons using a pretty easy to use on-controller mapping system, which lets you set the back buttons or disable them as you see fit, so if they annoy you, you can just adjust them so they don’t do anything. On the whole, the modularity and customization is fairly top-notch and certainly pro-feeling, compounded by deadzone adjustments and more that you can do using the app, so if what you want is customization, you will get it here in spades! Where the controller is really lacking for me is in the rest of the package. Firstly, as a PS5 controller it’s tough to recommend simply because it lacks many of the dualsense’s native features like haptics, adaptive triggers, microphone, speaker, or game synced lighting. I understand these are likely proprietary to Sony, so it is likely not Turtle Beach’s fault, but it is still apparent when you are used to these features on the dualsense and feel lacking as a result, like you are missing part of the next gen experience. If you turn these off or don’t use them on PS5, then you won’t be missing them, but I personally like them and do notice their absence here. What is tougher though is that you also don't even get any basic rumble on PC, which also feels lacking. Likewise, the included 3.5mm headphone jack and touchpad are also disabled on PC, so you miss these when moving to PC even though it seems like they should work. Speaking of PC, I personally ran into a number of issues when trying to use the controller on PC. First, it took me almost an hour to try and get it to connect to my PC and get the Victrix app to detect the controller, wirelessly or wired. After some fiddling with drivers and USB ports, I was able to get it connect wired, and following a couple of reboots was able to get the wireless to work and connect regularly. Likewise, there is no bluetooth option, you need to use the USB-A dongle, which itself isn’t bad, but does mean if you are playing on both PC and PS5 like I am, you need to swap the dongle between devices to use it with both. Also, I don’t know if it is just my set-up or the USB-A dongle, but I had connectivity issues with both PC and PS5 where the controller would disconnect for a few seconds on occasion. I play both PC and PS5 on my living room TV, and so sit 6-8 feet away typically, but it was inconsistent for me at least, definitely more so on PC, and did offset the nice hall effect thumbsticks by having the signal drop-out mid game. I have had this issue with other PC controllers on occasion, so it may be partially due to my set-up, but I have never had this issue with any PS5 controllers, so that was strange for me. Overall, this is a good controller, especially if you want to customize or like to play fighters with a fightpad using your same controller. However, for me at least, it is really hard to justify the pro level price for PS5 or PC, when it is lacking some features I really think it should have, and it performs inconsistently from a wireless standpoint. It doesn’t feel particularly premium, and so while it does offer some of the best customization available, it misses the mark on some of the fundamentals for me. Your mileage may vary with your set-up and priorities, but just isn’t the pro controller for me.

The Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded Wireless Modular Controller for PlayStation 5, PS 4 & Windows is an amazing and versatile controller. Whether you are a PS5, PS4 or Windows 10/11 gamer, this controller will work for you. I have been using it with my PC and PS5 and I have not encountered any issues with the controller. I do find it to be a little heavy for me but I am getting used to that. With the simple flick of a small switch on the controller, you can easily and quickly switch from PS5 to PS4 or PC. You can use this controller either wirelessly with the USB transmitter, which is what I do, or you can plug it in with the included 3 meter USB-C cable. The cable is also what is used for charging. This is officially licensed by PlayStation, so you can be sure it is totally compatible. They also make an X-Box version of this controller for those who play on that platform. I am having a great time trying out the different options available to me with this Victrix modular controller, and I truly believe it has improved my gaming. I enjoy playing games on my PC and my PS5, but I am by no means, what I would call, an "elite" gamer. So that just tells me that if you are "elite," or are aiming to get there (as I hope to become someday), you would be able to utilize this customizable controller to become an even better gamer. There is virtually no "play" in any of the buttons or thumbsticks, which I find to be so helpful! And by swapping out some of the interchangeable components and customizable modules to your personal liking, this can give you what you have been missing in precision and performance. There is an app which you can download to your Windows PC - the free Victrix Control Hub (which can be found in the Microsoft Store). This makes it easier to remap buttons, find updates or just check out if everything is working correctly (diagnostics). But you don't need to download the app if you don't want to, because you are also able to make changes on the controller itself. I did some Internet searching to find an instructional booklet (at: support.turtlebeach.com) which I wish would have come with the controller or perhaps come up with a scan of the QR code. I am now finding this controller to be so customizable. A really cool feature is the ability to make specific trigger stop settings for the R2 and L2 triggers. This has been extremely helpful for me. It also explains how to change the stick caps, D-Pads and gates. I did find that I kept accidentally hitting the four back buttons while playing, so I disabled them for now, and that was easy to do with the aid of the online booklet. This is what is included (mostly straight from the description, because I am not that familiar with the terminology for everything!): the controller, USB wireless transmitter, detachable braided USB-C cable, 6-button Fightpad module with Khailh microswitches, reversible D-Pad and thumbstick left module with Hall-Effect technology, swappable button & thumbstick right module with Hall-Effect technology, interchangeable D-Pads, thumbsticks, and gates, module customization tool (to loosen those tiny screws), and an awesome carrying case that neatly holds everything. It is really nice to see a quality case included, with foam inserts to keep everything in its place, including the controller. If I were to lose that wireless transmitter, I would be in trouble! Overall, the Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded Wireless Modular Controller is an incredibly versatile controller that has already helped my gameplay. The available customizations seem endless to me at this point because of the seemingly unlimited combination of changes that are possible. Which combo will help make my gaming the best that it can be? I feel this is a solid and sturdy controller that should last for years and I would recommend this to those looking for versatility and the ability to customize a quality controller to suit your personal style and needs/wants.

I'm a little late to the game when I found out that PDP was purchased by Turtle Beach sometime last year. The Victrix BFG Reloaded is a "under new management" naming for the popular PDP Victrix Pro BFG, with a welcoming upgrade to the thumbsticks and triggers that eliminate stick drift and improve accuracy. For those new to this controller, you will immediately find a plethora of customizations you can achieve with it. The controller has interchangeable modules that allow for ultimate customization specific to each game. It's so customizable that you can swap the positions of the left thumbstick on the controller (think XBOX vs PS5 controller thumbstick locations) by rotating the module 180 degrees. There is an additional "Fight Pad" module, reminiscent of the Sega Genesis days, which provides six buttons that I love for fighting games (I hated using the shoulder buttons). The D-Pad can also be swapped to a different face for your personal preference, and thumbstick stop faceplates to allow your thumbstick to settle in a corner when in full throw. And that's only what you can see on the front of the controller; On the top and back of the controller are eight more trigger buttons with trigger un-stops for the rear shoulders (more on that in a minute). In hand, the Pro BFG Reloaded feels very sturdy and premium. It has rubber textures on the palm grips, which I worry about long term, but overall it is quite a hefty controller! It shares the shape of an XBOX controller more than a PS5 controller, so I'm guessing that it is a decision made by Victrix in terms of comfort....I mean....the XBOX is a more comfortable controller, right? Combine the ergonomics of an Xbox controller with the PS5's thumbstick placement, and you have the best of both worlds. Regarding hardware and durability/longevity, the controllers have been upgraded from their original PDP design to use Hall effect technology for their analog thumbsticks and triggers. A huge plus is the elimination of analog stick drift. We've all encountered this phenomenon and have purchased replacement controllers once, twice, or maybe three times. The Hall effect also provides increased accuracy to keep gaming very consistent for both casual and competitive gamers. You can connect to your PS5 either wired or wirelessly. A small purple slider switch allows you to choose between the two connection types. In either case, you'll need an available USB-A (for wireless) or USB-C (for wired) port. This same connectivity can be done on the PS4 and PC. Yes, you can utilize this controller on your PC for gaming as well. It is recommended that you connect to your PC first to allow software updates to occur, and you'll need the Victrix Control application installed on your PC for this. The controller will not update automatically while connected to the PS5. This is a bummer because some of us who own this will rarely check for updates if we game only via console. You'll miss a couple of things when transitioning from an OEM PlayStation 5 controller to the Victrix controller. The first is the lack of haptic feedback. It was most likely removed to allow for their modular design. The second is removal of adaptive triggers, which you may hate or love or feel indifferent about. I think it's worth mentioning here as it is not mentioned on the Turtle Beach website. I find haptic feedback and adaptive triggers helpful in certain aspects of a game only if the game developer utilizes them accordingly. Getting back to the trigger buttons: by default they are hair trigger buttons as opposed to analog. Think gas pedal on a car…yeah it’s not that. To achieve that, there is a clutch slider that you have to hold so that you can customize the travel distance of each trigger, which is very cool. Finally, there is its price point which is very premium with respect to its OEM counterparts. But its versatility, accuracy and durability make this hard to ignore and for that I highly recommend this controller.

The Victrix Pro BFG wireless controller is a great controller for those that want to tune their input directly to how they need it. This is by far the most customizable controller that I have ever used, and on that front it works very well. There is a crazy amount of customization that you can do as far as button configurations, trigger sensitivity and even joystick orientation. If you find that a normal controller doesn't offer exactly what you want in terms of orientation, this might be just right for you. Quick summary Pros -Customization - Battery Life - Works for PC and Playstation - Solid build quality Cons - Overly sensitive rear buttons - PS input doesn't translate well to PC - Connectivity Issues Build quality is superb. Nothing about this controller feels cheap or like it might break easily. Everything is built to last. The only complaint I would have is the sensitivity adjustments on the back for the triggers feel like they could be a point of failure simply due to their sliding mechanism, but thats entirely speculation. The connectivity on these left a lot to be desired. I had frequent issues with the dongle simply not having a steady connection with the controller leading to inputs either cutting out or repeat button presses when the button was released. This didn't happen in wired mode. This controller doesn't support being connected via bluetooth which I think would have been a nice alternative in case the dongle wasn't working right. The software for the most part is pretty great. It has a lot of remapping capability as well as functions tests for the buttons (which is going to be important if you're swapping modules around). This allows you to go through and make sure that all the buttons are working and are mapped correctly after configuring the controller. It also allows you to set dead space, actuation distance, etc. I did have an issue where it wouldn't read the triggers. The triggers worked in games so it wasn't much of an issue, but the software would detect the presses on them in the configuration for some reason. The biggest issue I have with this controller and what caused it to lose a star is the sensitivity of the rear buttons. Countless times while playing, because of how bulky this controller is, simply the weight of the controller and how it was resting in my hands was causing the rear buttons to trigger. This constantly was throwing me off to the point where I had to unmap those buttons entirely. This defeats the purpose of those buttons which takes away from the functionality, but with them being so sensitive they simply aren't viable for me. If you have bigger hands or hold the controller differently it might not be an issue. Another issue is compatibility with PC. I accidentally picked the PS version of this controller over the Xbox variant, which is on me. I play only on PC so the Xbox version would have worked better as everything on PC defaults to Xbox Input (to include this controllers own software). This leads the games being mapped to the Xbox buttons. This is fine for the most part as I already know the buttons, but this also left me with the touch pad on the controller being non operational for me in most games, even ones I set to use PS input in the game. Overall a very nice controller. I wish they had a sensitivity setting for the rear buttons and bluetooth connectivity, but the customization makes it really nice in the end.

At this point in the games, and I mean four decades of gaming, I’ve been through my fair share of gaming controllers. And, as with all things tech, controllers continue to evolve and get better adding additional customizable buttons, more comfortable ergonomics, compatibility and, plain and simple, more features all around. That continues to hold true with Turtle Beach’s latest Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded gaming controller built specifically for the PlayStation 4/5 and PC. The Victrix Pro BFG is arguably their most versatile premium controller available compounding on the strengths of the original BFG and adding additional features which I will cover below in this review. Out of the box and after removing the controller from the included protective case, you can immediately feel the sturdy physical build of the Pro BFG Reloaded. The BFG is more aesthetically and ergonomically sound in comparison to a standard PS4/5 controller due to its more chunky design that you can wrap your hands around. It has much better textured grips that are excellent for long gaming sessions and prevent slippage during intense sweaty hand moments. The Pro BFG Reloaded has what you would now expect on any Pro or high-performance gaming controller, but even more, including four mappable quick-action buttons located on the rear, their patented 5-stage clutch hair triggers as well as their patented on-board audio controls. The included durable case conveniently stores everything you can swap out on the controller including four thumbstick caps (different heights and shapes), three D-pads, stick gates (circular and octagonal), the USB dongle and the tool used to easily swap the parts out. The controller supports both wired and wireless (via 2.4 GHz dongle) modes. Its low-latency wireless performance is reliable enough for competitive play, backed by a generous 3-meter braided USB-C cable for tournament use. The website claims the battery can last up to 20 hours on a full charge which is significantly longer than the standard DualSense controllers. After a quick charge and plugging the included USB dongle into the front port of my PS5, I was excited and ready to give it a whirl. One of those new features, and perhaps the biggest upgrade, is the Hall Effect magnetic thumbsticks and triggers which eliminates the threat of stick drift and significantly boosts long-term reliability. The magnetic sensors measure position without physical contact virtually eliminating mechanical wear and the notorious stick drift that traditional controllers eventually suffer from over time. This offers peace of mind for competitive gamers relying on pixel-perfect aiming. Perhaps its core appeal is its extreme modularity, allowing users to transform it from an traditional FPS style controller to a symmetrical pad, or a 6-button Fightpad which are included. While it sacrifices PlayStation’s DualSense haptics and adaptive triggers for competitive responsiveness, the Pro BFG Reloaded is a high-performance option for players who demand precision and customizability across multiple genres and platforms including the ability to use it on PC games. The most striking feature of the Pro BFG Reloaded which I have not personally seen or used on any other controller in the market is its tool-free modular design. The controller is composed of three main swappable sections, secured by captive screws and an included tool, allowing for instant configuration changes. The left module can be reversed to choose between the asymmetrical (Xbox-style) or symmetrical (PlayStation-style) thumbstick layout while the right module can be swapped between the standard analog stick and face button layout, or the 6-Button Fightpad Module. The Fightpad features improved Kailh microswitches and a re-engineered ergonomic layout, is a major win for fighting game competitors. In conclusion, the Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded is a purpose-built peripheral for the dedicated hard-core gamer who prefers more customizable features. However, I would also recommend it as a great option for someone who wants a handheld controller for use in arcade style fighting games and does not want a full-size fightpad controller with six buttons and a joystick. If you are a multi-genre player who bounces between FPS, RPGs, and fighting games, or if you simply refuse to deal with stick drift, this controller offers unparalleled flexibility and high-quality components that justify the premium price tag. Bottom line is the Pro BFG Reloaded is an elite peripheral designed to win and not for casual gamers.

Straight out of the box, the controller looks very Masculine, impressive and well put together. Nothing popped out as unusual. I decided to play a football game. Turned on my PS five and the controller was fully charged, which is strongly recommended. I took about five minutes or so trying to connect the controller to the PS five but the connection Never transferred and I got really frustrated so I decided to use the USB stick which connected instantly. I’m not sure what I was doing wrong but the easy fix is using the USB stick. Once I started playing the game, the controller felt like velvet in my hands and the buttons felt natural. If you have large fingers though, and you play quickly, you find yourself pushing two buttons at once when you don’t mean to. That specifically goes for the index finger and the middle finger the buttons in the front. Reconfiguring what each button does might take a while but it’s worth the hassle. You don’t wanna find out in the middle of a game that all the buttons don’t do what they used to do on the original PS controller. The frustration of not being able to conduct it via Bluetooth and push pushing multiple buttons simultaneously was enough for me to remove two stars.

I've been using my new Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded Wireless Modular Controller for a couple of days now and I'm very pleased with this device. It's compatible with PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and Windows 10/11 PC, so it basically works with any platforms. All controllable features are ergonomically positioned and they are arranged in the familiar PlayStation configuration. For those gamers who have evolved reflexes to use this arrangement, all this works very well. The controller comes with a very slick-looking protective case, as well as button replacement parts. The rechargeable battery charges fairly quickly - I didn't time it but it was less than an hour - and it holds a charge very well (I haven't needed to recharge yet). Construction of the controller is light but sturdy. I'm playing Metal Gear Solid Delta on PC and this controller has revamped my game playing experience. If I were to be picky, there is one minor negative. The setup for sound in the manual was not well explained, so I had to do a quick online search to be sure. The button for this is small and it's not very well marked. Also, the sound quality is not as clean as I would like. Other than that, though, this is an excellent controller. The price point is a bit high in my frugal mind but I'm sure it's worth the price for many serious gamers out there.

I am just outside my return window and the right thumbstick will get stuck when I move it up and to the left. Very disappointed.

The PS4/5 Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded is a solid and comfortable, game controller, loaded with changeable parts, software customization, and advanced features! Design The BFG Reloaded has a great feel in my hands. It's solid and comfortable, with textured palm grips. It feels very high quality. The buttons, triggers, and sticks all have a great feel to them. There is no unusual play, or looseness, even with all the interchangeable parts. When a part is installed, if feels like it should be there, not loose or temporary. Though I will mention that the FightPad module buttons, which has mechanical switches (Kailh MicroSwitches), do have what I would describe as some "play" to them. I still like those buttons and the mechanical switches. I'll talk about them more later. Besides the expected controller buttons, there's a triangular "Option" button on top face, just under the touchpad, and there are four programmable buttons (paddles) on the bottom. There's a button on the bottom in the middle to switch between 3 profiles. There are two switches on the bottom to set the L2 and R2 travel distance. There's also a switch on the far end, facing away from you, to select PC, PS4, or PS5 as well as a switch on the bottom for "Wired" or "Wireless" operation. A tool, a hex screw driver, is included for removal and installation of the three main top modules. For what it's worth, mine had the most current firmware versions (Controller and USB Transmitter) out of the box. Modules There are three modules that go in the top of the controller (two at a time) that provide what I'll call the primary controls. Each of the three modules is keyed so they cannot be inserted the wrong way, or in the wrong side. The one for the left side can be rotated so that the d-pad is up and left and the analog stick is down and right or vice versa, but it will not fit in the right side. The two modules for the right side will only fit in the right, not the left, and neither can be rotated. The modules are each secured with two hex screws that secure them very well, so they feel totally solid, like the controller is all one piece. The left module has an analog stick and a d-pad. I think the feel of the d-pad and the analog stick are both excellent. There is a conventional d-pad with nothing more than the four directions. Then there is sort an in-between one, with slightly larger primary directions and then in-between, in the diagonals, there is something to press, so the d-pad is like a circle. The third is a large, concave diamond shape. Of the three d-pad options, my favorite is probably the diamond. I like the way my thumb can slide around it and I feel like it still gives me excellent control and feel for the directions. All three work very well and feel solid and I can see myself switching them out for different games. I will mention that they snap in very firmly and have no play, which is great, but the one that just has the four primary directions, I find to be very difficult to remove. There is a small lip at the end of each direction, but I have a hard time pulling it off with my finger nails. I use a tool, an old chip puller, to remove it (see the picture - that chip puller with the red handle is not included). It's perfect, making remove easy. Maybe others can pop it out with their finger nails but that didn't work for me. The other two d-pads are easy to remove because there's a lot more room to get under them. The two right modules include one with an analog stick and the four standard PlayStation buttons, and the FightPad, with six mechanical (Kailh MicroSwitch) buttons. The four standard PlayStation buttons feel just like standard, but quality, convex, buttons on a game controller. The ones on the FightPad are flat on top, larger in diameter, and have mechanical switches. I think I can feel a shorter travel distance with them too. The two extra buttons, R1 and R2, are mappable to any button on the controller using the Victrix Control Hub app which I'll talk about later. As I mentioned before, the buttons on the FightPad do have some sort of play to them, like they're loose but they're not. You can still feel the mechanical switches, the buttons seem very high quality, and they work great. Also, switching the modules while the controller is on and connected seems to work just fine! The manual recommends re-calibrating the analog sticks anytime they're swapped in or out, but so far I haven't had issues with calibration. I did calibrate them when I first got it and I have for fun a few times since. It's easy to recalibrate, right on the controller, no app needed. Profiles and Paddles There are three profiles to store settings in that you can toggle through with a button on the bottom, Green, Blue, and Purple. There are four programable buttons/paddles on the bottom of the controller. They seem best accessible with my 3rd and 4th fingers. They have short travel and a very solid click, like a good mouse button. The programming works great and I'm glad you don't need an app to map the extra buttons/paddles on the bottom of the controller. I tried and you're not able to remap the R1 and R2 on the FightPad using just the controller. Using the app though, you can map all the FightPad buttons and every other button! Keep reading to find out more about the Victrix Control Hub app. Features I think this controller has an excellent feature set! I've talked about some of these already but wanted to list features here. - Hull effect triggers and analog sticks, using magnetic hull effect technology should make them resistant to accuracy degradation over time - Mechanical (Kailh) switches in the FightPad buttons which seem to have very short travel and give a reassuring, but not too loud, click - Wired or low latency wireless connectivity (USB A transceiver and generous 3 meter USB C to USB A cable, both included), but no Bluetooth - On PlayStation it support Sony 3D audio - Tournament Lock Mode, disabled buttons that could be a problem in tournament play - Uses the SOCD rule by default, (up and down at the same time = neutral, for instance) but can be set to use the legacy SOCD rule (up and down at the same time = up) - Three types of swappable analog sticks, two concave, one convex, one tall concave - Four gates, two circles, two octagons (for directional help (up, down, left right, and diagonals) for the analog sticks) Victrix Control Hub App This is a great controller configuration, firmware upgrade, and diagnostic app for Windows. You can map any button to any other button, or to no function. You must have an "X" and a "O" somewhere though. That's about the only requirement that I'm aware of. The triggers, analog stick buttons, all six FightPad buttons, can all be mapped. Speaking of different modules, you can change them while the controller is on and you're in the app and it will switch to that module on screen in the app, live. I did have some issues getting the app to work. There are apparently different applications, drivers, or a few things together, that can interfere with the app communicating with the controller. On my PC, I had to turn off "Run Steam when my computer starts" under "Steam Settings" and "Interface". One thing I would like to see them add is the ability to assign the left analog stick control to the d-pad. I am glad I can change the physical location of the two, but for some retro games, the directional control mapping would be nice. I included some screenshots of the app. Gaming The Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded is a joy to use! I played racing games, fighting games, soccer, and 3D open world shooter games. I can't complain about any of the control or response. The analog sticks work great! I loved trying the different d-pads, and for most games, I think the diamond has become my favorite. It also just feel so solid in hand. The FightPad is fun to use! I like the feel of the feel of the flat, glossy, tops of the FightPad buttons. I really felt like the FightPad buttons are a bit faster (shorter travel) than most. The responsiveness of the controller over all is great, wired or wireless. I had absolulty no issues. I used it mostly on my PC but also played on PlayStation 4 with no issues and totally loved it! I even liked moving the XOTriangleSquare on the FightPad from the default position up and to the right, then un-mapped the bottom two. I think I'll be playing around with different layouts for different games for a long time and figuring out what's most helpful for me. Summary The PlayStation Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded is an extremely versatile game controller because of the changeable modules and parts as well as the programmability. Even with all those features and movable parts it feels solid and excellent in the hand! You can pick it up and just play, or you can customize it to your liking for your favorite game! If I'm being picky, I think they could have come up with a better way to set the three middle positions of the left and right triggers, but I still like that this adds more flexibility than other implementation of the more typical, just short/button and normal/full travel trigger settings, that I've used on other controllers. I'd like to see them add control mapping so you can map the left analog stick directional control to the d-pad. And the four direction d-pad could have an easier way to remove it. Those are three very picky gripes for a controller that checks all sorts of boxes that I didn't know existed! Turtle Beach has an excellent controller with the PlayStation Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded and if you're in the market you should give it a try!

I really liked the concept of this controller. Just being modular and being able to change things up based on your needs. I've been able to change thumb sticks and D-Pads in the past but never been able to swap and flip full parts of the controller before. On top of that, it's a pretty solid controller too. Setup could be a breeze in most circumstances. The exception being if you want to update the controllers firmware. Plug in the dongle to your PC, PS4 or PS5 and switch the controller to that mode and you should be all set to go. You can also switch the controller into wired more if you'd rather use a cord. I really like that all the modes have physical switches instead of some button combination and looking out for a certain number of flashing lights to see what mode you're in. It's all very clear. You might run into an issue, though, with running the actual official software for the device on your PC, though. It takes some real doing to get the software to actually recognize that you have the controller connected. The support page they tell you to click when they tell you there might be a driver conflict somewhere doesn't exist and a little bit of Google says this has been an issue for well over a year so I have no idea why they haven't done anything about it. Results may vary since people seem to have found different solutions, but I had to disable the Xbox driver support in Steam and disable everything in the controller settings aside from "Generic Controller Support". After a reboot, the software was finally able to see the controller so you can update, customize and test everything out. That was a fairly small hiccup but it was quite annoying to have to find my own solution so early into owning this controller. And to see the issue has existed for so long, it doesn't give me a lot of hope for hope maintained their software is and is going to be in the future. Using the controller is actually quite nice. It's got the right amount of weight to it so it doesn't feel cheap. The D-Pad (with the cross cap) feels really good. The standard buttons are nice and quiet and feel nice to press. The analog sticks are hall-effect so they aren't going to suffer from any stick drift and feel really smooth and accurate. The touchpad feels fine, if a tiny bit small. The click of the touchpad might feel a little too soft but it's not bad. The back paddles are defaulted to the standard 4 face buttons so you might want to change those because I accidentally hit back paddles all the time. Triggers are lockable but do maintain some analog-ness if you press them hard enough. The process for locking and unlocking the triggers is a bit strange (you have to hold the springloaded switch on the back and press the trigger down to unlock it). All in all, everything about the function of the controller really does feel premium and very good to control. If I had to find a downside (aside from the PC software issue), it would be a pretty superficial one. While the controller doesn't "feel" cheap. All of the components feel good to use. The overall design of the controller definitely screams of the old school third party controllers from the 90's and early 00's. It just looks like there's a lot going on. The start and select buttons are taking up a whole side of the touch pad. Then all the switches for mode selection (which I said I liked). The extra button under the touch pad, The 4 paddles. All of the screws on top. It's very busy looking and reminds me of the old school controllers that tries to throw every gimmick at the wall to sell to you. I'm not a huge fan of the overall design is what I'm saying. But that doesn't speak towards the actual function of the controller which is one of the best feels I'd had. Swapping out and rotating modules is super easy. There's a tiny screwdriver included in the case and you just undo 2 screws (that don't fall out when they're unscrewed) and pull the module out. Put the new one in or rotate so the analog sticks are on the other side. Whatever you like, and then screw the screws back in. I don't see myself swapping or switching modules all that often but my only concern is if you DO intend to do that, I hope the screws don't eventually start to strip and get loose. I haven't had any issues with the dozen or so swaps that I did while testing, though. Overall, I really like this controller. I think it will be my new daily driver just based on how nice the analog sticks and buttons feel. Being able to rearrange things is just a nice bonus. I am not able to tell you if you think these perks are worth the sticker price of this item, but I can say that I'm a big fan and controllers aren't cheap these days.

I’ve used a lot of controllers over the years, and this one easily stands out as one of the best. The build quality feels premium right out of the box. The grips are comfortable for long gaming sessions, and the buttons have a crisp, responsive feel that makes every input precise. The customizable features really set it apart. Being able to adjust settings and fine-tune the controller to match my playstyle gives me a noticeable edge in competitive games. The back buttons are perfectly placed and make it easier to react quickly without taking my thumbs off the sticks. Battery life has been solid, and connectivity has been reliable with no noticeable input lag. Whether I’m playing shooters, sports games, or single-player titles, it performs consistently. Overall, if you’re looking for a high-quality controller that feels great and delivers top-tier performance, this is absolutely worth it.

The Victrix Pro is quite possibly the best controller I’ve ever come across, and the fact that it’s modular makes it even better. Right out of the box, the hardshell carrying case, along with its smooth zipper and molded interior, just feel like total quality. The controller and accessories are packed neatly inside, and everything has its place, so it doesn’t get junky once you remove everything for the first time. The included screwdriver uses a star-shaped (Torx) tip, so you don’t have to worry about stripping screws when swapping out components. The customization options on this controller feel almost endless, and after a week of using it, I’m sure I’ve only scratched the surface. You can do everything from changing out thumbsticks and adjusting trigger sensitivity to remapping the back buttons. A few things to note that did throw me off: while this is an officially licensed PlayStation controller, it does not feature Sony’s DualSense technology. In other words, you won’t get adaptive triggers or the haptic feedback you might be used to from the standard PS5 controller. It can be used in either wired or wireless mode, but wireless requires the included USB dongle. I was a bit surprised that the controller doesn’t connect directly via Bluetooth, considering it’s officially licensed. Some people may find this controller to be overkill, simply because it’s really designed for competitive or pro-level gaming. For example, my 10-year-old son plays games like Astro Bot, and he actually prefers the DualSense because of the haptics and adaptive triggers. All in all, when it comes to competitive controllers, I doubt you’ll find anything better than this. I love the customization options, the overall look and feel, and the solid battery life (around 20 hours). My favorite feature, as simple as it is, is being able to swap out the thumbsticks. I’ve tossed out a few regular controllers due to stick drift, so this feature alone has me sold.

The Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded is an impressive modular controller that truly elevates the gaming experience on PS5, PS4, and PC. I was very excited to try this controller as I have gone through so many stock PS5 controllers because after heavy use stick drift develops on the stock PS5 controller. The Victrix boasts Hall-effect technology so stick drift should not be a problem. This controller’s build quality is top-notch, with premium materials that feel durable yet lightweight during long sessions. The modular design is its standout feature effortlessly swapping between stick and fight pad layouts gives players total control over their play style. The wireless performance is ultra-responsive, with no noticeable input lag, and the battery life easily lasts through marathon sessions. The battery is rated to last 20 hours before needing to be recharged. Customizable back buttons make it ideal for competitive gameplay. Setup is quick and intuitive, and integration with Windows 11 is flawless. There is a dongle included that plugs into the USB-A port on the pc; my pc instantly found the Victrix. In Steam, the Victrix was recognized as a PS5 controller essentially. The downloadable Victrix Control Hub software makes it easy to update firmware in the controller and dongle. In summary, for anyone looking for tournament-grade precision and comfort, this controller is one of the best on the market today.
