Customer Ratings & Reviews

Wanted to try out a modular controller for awhile now. The Victrix Pro is a great controller. Feels great in hand for hours long gaming sessions. Yet, missed the mark a bit for this PlayStation version. It is not bad at anything it set out to do. In fact it is probably better for build quality and hall effect joysticks than the base controller a PS5/PS4 includes. I know some of the tech I am about to mention is licensed or brand specific, but to not even include rumble like their version for Xbox? The absence of adaptive triggers, vibrator motor and even onboard speaker that let me down considerably. And sure many games on PS5 and PC don't use or support those features so that is where my review will have to focus. But, those omissions will come up. The Modular: This is why you likely will want to buy this controller. Either you need/want the ability to flip buttons for sticks or swap sticks out for just buttons. This controller is massively configurable. Since I play so much more on PlayStation. My preferred layout is similar to the Sony controller. And in that configuration, it is very good and more comfortable to hold for hours of play. Sadly, the L2/R2 triggers are a bit pointy/pronounced and required a while to get used to. Triggers are not swappable. But can be turned into short pull triggers by flipping either switch underneath. The more I play the more I get used to the controller feel and layout. In PS, most buttons seemed to be mapped by default and I did not always find a way to change the function in settings like you can on PC for the extra triggers underneath. Comfort for adult hands: This is a much nicer to hold controller for man hands. Rubberized grips on my palms feels nicer than the harder plastic of other controllers. Grip is just better. Buttons and sticks feel at least the same as PS if not better. I play for hours at a time and I honestly do like the feel better with the Victrix Pro. Currently found no need to swap thumb sticks for the included shorter or longer stick. The bad for PS5/PS4 users: This controller seems to have the blessings of, or license agreement from Sony, as seen on the box. Yet, Turtle Beach forgot or was not allowed to use Vibrator motors, adaptive triggers or include any onboard speakers. That is a major let down for a controller at this price designed to be used on PlayStation. If you play games that have those feedback features. The Victrix Pro might be a pass in this Reloaded state. I think the Xbox version at least has rumble, so not sure why it had to be removed from the PlayStation model? Also, you will not be starting the PS5 from the controller. You will, like a caveman, have to walk over to the console and press the power button manually! Ultimately I am torn by this controller. It works so well, can be customized or easily repaired if needed, and feels better in hand. May never have stick drift. Although, knowing that many of my games having a tactile feedback that this controller will never share with me is sad. I would tell a friend to try it for themselves and I will continue to use the Victrix Pro myself. Just can't give a full 5 star review when so many features (patented or not) were not included that exist in a controller already on the market for half the price.

Upon opening the box, this is a good looking controller! Packed in a tightly fitted carry case, it comes with a slew of customizable accessories which includes a short domed stick, a tall “sniper stick”, several different shaped Dpad caps, a pair of hexagonal gates, a fightpad to replace the right side stick and buttons, a 3 meter braided USB A to C cable, and a driver tool to change out the stick modules. For reference, I play with an unmodded DualSense controller, a Nacon Revolution 5 controller, and another DualSense controller I modded with ExtremeRate mouse switch triggers and metal back buttons. I never really got comfortable with the XBox stick layout of the Nacon so my youngest son has pretty much taken that one over. This Victrix controller is able to be configured either in a PS style or an XBox style stick layout which is nice. I will say that in my opinion the mouse switch triggers on my modded controller are best for FPS games but the adjustable triggers on the Victrix are a close second. As delivered, the triggers are extremely sensitive to even resting your fingers on them and I found myself accidentally zooming the map, ADS-ing the weapon, or having NDs due to the sensitivity. I used the Victrix Control Hub app to add a small dead zone to the triggers and I’m much happier now. I also used the PC app to disable the lower two back buttons for now, I feel like they are too low and are right where I want to grip the controller. The two upper ones are in a pretty good location and I was able to map them to X and □ fairly easily. I say fairly easily because the PC app uses O as the Back button in the menu so every time I tried to disable O on a back button it took me to the previous page. Kind of annoying. I found that I could remap what was the O back button to a different button like UP on the Dpad and then I was able to disable it without having to press the O button on the face of the controller. Easy workaround at least! I like the feel of the Hall Effect sticks and took to them right away. I haven’t had any issue with stick drift on a PS5 controller unlike the DS4 controllers but I like how these react in game and I didn’t need to adjust anything from default. There is a recalibrate button in the app which I understand can remove stick drift should it occur later on. This controller does connect wirelessly to a PS5 but requires the use of a dongle which is included. I added a powered USB hub to my consoles years ago so I have plenty of open USB ports so that’s not an issue. You can’t turn on the console by the controller alone but I have my console connected to an ARC compatible HDMI port on the television so the console turns on when I select the PS5 as the input on the television’s remote control so that’s not an issue for me either. Once the console powers up, the USB hub turns on and the dongle is powered so I can connect the controller. The controller body has a thin, grippy skin on the back and a much more heavily textured insert on the front so it’s easy to hold. I wouldn’t mind having the heavier texture added to the back and sides, with the position of the lower back buttons being where they are a little more texture on the sides would have been welcome. I feel like I need to squeeze the controller from the sides to keep from activating the lower buttons with my grip. I don’t feel like I can make full use of the lower buttons as it is. The L2 and R2 triggers are 5 position adjustable including a Hair Trigger mode. I’d like to run them in the minimal travel position but I can’t seem to add any dead zone in that position. I’m used to my mouse click modded buttons, these hair triggers are super touchy in the minimal travel position in my opinion. But I can adjust them to the next position out where they have only slightly more travel and then I found a spot using the dead zone adjustment on the PC app where I could rest my fingers on the triggers lightly and not empty a mag into the dirt or accidentally apply the brakes when driving a vehicle in game. Having very adjustable triggers is nice if you have only one controller, my mouse click modded controller is great for FPS games but pretty much useless for games that require a throttle since it’s only idle or full throttle, there’s no modulation possible. The adjustable triggers on the Victrix can do both by just sliding the button on the back to adjust the travel so you can go from a FPS title to a racing sim to a flight sim and back easily. The controller has no vibration or adaptive/haptic triggers like the DualSense does if that matters to you. There is a 3.5mm port onboard for a headphone plug if you use that, it has Sony 3D audio enabled for an immersive experience.

Some people play games casually, other people play them as a hobby, and some people own a Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded and play games as if that’s what keeps their heart beating every moment of their day! I always considered myself a serious gamer but when I opened the box and found what was inside I realized I’m just a casual by comparison to the target demographic here. Once you open the box (due to the tight slip style it may take upwards of 30-60 seconds) inside you find a molded plastic cradle for a firm zipper case with the bold large purple Victrix logo glaring out at you, daring you to pick it up and open the treasure trove of gaming deliciousness inside. Once you call that dare and remove the case, unzipping it you discover the top half has a mesh pocket and velcro strap to restrain a bold purple USB-A to USB-C cable and the bottom half has…well, everything else but the kitchen sink. The controller itself sits proudly in its form fitting bed with a USB dongle pressed into a removable foam “tray” which also holds two analog stick rings and a “FightPad” module. If you lift the controller out a bright purple mini screw driver is revealed which is how I found out the foam “tray” could lift out and reveal a tall “sniper” analog stick, a shorter convex (round top instead of bowl top) analog stick, and two swappable D-pads. I knew this was a pro controller but I didn’t realize how customizable it was. And I was just scratching the surface, this was just the cosmetic features! That screw driver is used to swap modules, which is the two functional halves of the controller: a left module with your D-Pad and left analog stick across from the right module which holes the right analog stick and your game play buttons (I have the Playstation so X, O, Triangle, and Square). Each module is held into the controller with two screws and you can replace your right module with that FightPad which puts your four face buttons as well as the R1 and L1 onto the controller face, kind of like an arcade cabinets button layout. Very cool! The rest of the controller looks like a futuristic version of your Sony Duelshock with the touch pad and the Option and Share buttons but there’s also a “Function” triangle under the touch pad which lets you program the controller. We’ll get back to that. Flip the controller over and on the back is a switch from wireless to wired mode, FOUR(!!!) more buttons on the back of the controller’s grips, and two sliding toggles above center kind of behind the touchpad. Those four extra buttons are kind of like extra R1, L1, L2, and R2 buttons in one is larger than the other but all four can be programmed to be whichever button you wish to have available to those fingers gripping the controller. You can set three profiles each indicated by a colored LED on the back Profile button, push the profile button then the back button you wish to program and then whatever button you wish that back button to emulate. If you’re like me though and your hands are big enough they push those by mistake just holding the controller comfortably you can press the function button, then double tap the button you want to DISABLE and now you can push those buttons all day long without issue. But there’s still MORE you can program! The R2 and L2 buttons can be locked to whatever depth you wish them to squeeze down to. Hold the slide button for the left or right side and then press in the shoulder button to however far you wish the end to be then release the slide and that’s how far your L2 or R2 button goes. This can be as squishy as fully depressed or as shallow as no movement beyond what your face buttons do. Of course you can also use this controller on your PC and there’s an app to program all of the buttons via the app as well. I played with the different thumb sticks and D-Pads, they just pop off and on with firm but minimal effort (the D-Pad was slightly more concerning for me but it was done with less force than I was concerned would break it). In the end does the endless customization matter if the controller doesn’t PLAY games? That’s a matter of personal preference obviously. There’s almost nothing wrong with how a Duelshock controller FEELS in the hand and it will certainly feel different holding the Pro BFG Reloaded but its not offensive to the hand. I spent most of my time with the controller trying not to press the back buttons before I dug through the instructions and finally turned off those back buttons and was able to hold it firmly without worry. To my hand it feels a little smaller than I’d prefer but it's completely satisfactory once you play with it a bit. The battery life is on par or better than Sony’s out of the box standard controller, I played for a few days 3 or 4 hours each and didn’t see a low battery warning pop up. On a whole the package is beautifully presented, the case holds everything securely, organized, and protects it with a very high class style. Anything you could want from this controller it will do for you other than bells and whistles like changing colored LEDs or replacing the shell of the controller, but that’s all pretty and this is a MACHINE that you turn it on and you just win! If you want a high end gaming accessory this is what you want!

Despite being a PC gamer, I still use controllers to play. Was previously a Playstation user but have upgraded to the master race. As such, I need a controller similar to the Playstation ones which are sort of hard to come by. Since it's PC, most of the controller outs there are XBOX format where the left joystick is in the upper left hand side of the controller. Being so used to the thumbsticks being in the middle, I find it difficult to play using XBOX style controllers. Previously, I had been using Thrustmaster eSwap controllers since you're able to move the thumbsticks where you want them. They've worked well for me however they seem to have stick drift quite a bit after some gameplay which is annoying. With this Turtle Beach controller, I get the same layout I'm accustomed to but with that custom controller feel to it. Big thing for me are the paddles on the back. They're sized/placed perfectly for me to use which is a nice bonus. My older controller had these however they were kind of small and awkward to use. These paddles work/feel great. You get some additional pads/thumbsticks with the kit as well as a carrying case which is kind of cool. This is everything you need to get up and gaming ASAP.

The Turtle Beach Victrix Pro gives you tons of customization to up your game! I’ve owned both the Xbox elite controller and the PlayStation edge controller and the Turtle Beach Victrix takes everything from them and adds even more customization. The biggest thing is being able to completely swap the modules so the thumb sticks can be in the complete opposite position. So, if you’re like me and own a PS5 but prefer the position of Xbox sticks, you can make your PlayStation controller just like that. The controller connects with a usb dongle or can be used wired and can be used with PS4, PS5 and PC. Uboxing the controller you get three different d pad designs, two extra thumb sticks, one tall and one short, a module for fight games, tool, usb cable and a nice carrying case. The two things you don’t get with this controller is the haptic feedback for the triggers and the ability to cut the PlayStation on with the controller. The triggers have 5 different settings and the controller gives you ability to lock the settings to prevent accidental changes. The Victrix control hub app on pc makes changing settings easy but is only available for pc so if using it with PlayStation you either connect first to your pc to customize or do it manually. The Victrix is a highly customizable controller that is a nice alternative to the Edge controller.

Having been a long time PS1->PS5 user, along with some Xbox use and a heavy PC gamer, the Victrix seems to have an identity crises and feels like a jack of all trades, master of none trying to have its foundation address the PC, PS and Xbox audiences all at once versus having truly individualized models that play to the inherent strengths of each platform's controllers. The packaging is superb and inside you will find a well made carrying case packing your controller, dongle, ample length USB-C -> USB-A wire, adjustment accessories (aka customizations) and more. If there was a mechanical keyboard equivalent of controllers, this would be it. It looks and feels premium and packed full of that wonderful new electronics smell. I tried it the first few days on my PS5. I found connectivity issues with Bluetooth which is actually fine because when a controller comes equipped with a dongle for wireless connectivity, you always default to the dongle when able as it will provide the superior connection. In my hands, it has good heft and feel but didn't feel like a PS5 controller. Buttons had good spring/snap, and the D-pad was firm but there is a learning curve and it will not immediately feel native to PS owners and that could be a problem. I let my nephew, who is PlayStation exclusive, give it a whirl and he didn't like it at all because of the incongruent ergonomics in comparison to the PS5 controllers. It also lacked a lot of PS5 exclusive features like certain haptics, speaker/mic, trigger types and more. He summed up what I was thinking, "this is just a generic controller kinda but man it feels nice by itself..." we both agreed we wished it was a touch bigger as we both have big hands. Overall, I actually think the controller feels more like my Xbox controller I use with my PC than one of my PS5 controllers. I play a lot of Fallout 76 on both the PC and PS5 along with some fighting games. In the end, I really liked it for fighting games. In fact, I liked it just as much if not more than my native controllers, but for Fallout 76 and perhaps other first person shooters on my PS5? I actually, preferred the PS5 controllers. Maybe in time my opinion will change as I get more time under my belt using it, but having used it for awhile now, I am still firmly in the camp overall of using my PS5 controllers. Using it on my PC was another story and here is where I think this controller shines. I do play a lot of emulated games and it is by far the best controller I've used on my PC including my Xbox controller which was my previous go to. Playing some COD and Fortnite, it came to life nicely and again I preferred it over my Xbox controller. I found the controller a bit more responsive from moving to firing/controls. In addition, spending several days with it, especially with emulators, it is now my go to controller on the PC and that is where it will stay. So overall, you have a well built, slick, hefty comfortable controller with good tactile feedback and oodles of customizations but if the core controller doesn't fit and feel right then it doesn't matter so the question is, does it? If you're a PC gamer looking for a superb controller, this is a worthy option. Since you do not need any of the native PS5 perks and features it offers with its controllers, you end up with a generally generic controller that is extremely well built and works great in Windows 11. On the other hand, if you're a PS5 gamer looking to take it to the next level and want all the custom features the PS5 controllers bring to the table, this may work for you but expect a decent learning / adaptation curve along with learning to live without those PS5 controller native features.

Great controller as long as you accept the drawbacks when you buy it - no rumble, no haptics and cannot power on the ps5. If you’re fine with those, you’ll find this controller to be far superior to the dualsense. It took a while to adjust to the sensitivity and layout, but once it clicked this thing became amazing. The battery lasts forever, there is no lag, the pc app works flawlessly and modifying the controller is super easy. I also am not having the same lag issues as others and actually find the ps5 thinking this is plugged in and not wireless. For the sale price I would recommend this all day!

I have always been a fan of turtle beach, obviously there is other brands to go about, but this controller is solid, it is better than the ones they released before, it does have Hall effect, it takes a bit to get used to but overall it’s really comfortable for me personally, I do have more larger hands so it is easier for me to access the buttons, it can be used in competitive games. I don’t know how much the hz output Is, but I heard when wired to a pc it can go up to about 1000, I don’t know how true that is but it’s does respond pretty fast overall best controller I’ve got.

The Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded works well as a PS5 controller if you’re looking for more customization than the standard DualSense. It feels solid and comfortable in hand, with textured grips and responsive buttons and triggers. The modular design lets you swap stick layouts and adjust the setup to your preference, which is helpful if you like a specific configuration. Wireless performance on PS5 has been stable, and battery life holds up through longer sessions. Overall, it’s a reliable alternative to the stock PS5 controller, especially if customization matters to you.

First and considerably the best controller I ever bought from turtle beach, the swappable modules and hair trigger mode for the triggers make this my favorite controller. I don’t particularly have any negative reviews, the build quality for the price doesn’t feel as “premium” as it should but other than 9/10

Got this on discount for my husband and after seeing how easy cleaning and repair is I am sold! He loves using the different set ups and uses the controller wired for games that demand quick response times. Ladies this is an investment-save some $$$ down the line on drifting controllers and get this one

after going through many dualsense controllers with stickdrift i was looking for an alternative. after many reviews i got this one. At first i found it hard to deal with the fact that it didn't have any vibration or a mic/speaker. after a while i got used to it and will say i am in love with this controller. it's lightweight, controls feel smooth and most importantly no stick drift.

This controller is great for people that play with play station controllers its easy to use easy to navigate. Also, you can change the control around yourself, which is easy to do. I love this controller.

Not a fan of the Hall effect thumbsticks. They felt so tight or something? I actually had the old controller, before they went Hall effect, and I like that much more. Im also not a huge fan in order to really customize it you need a pc with windows to use. It would be better if it was just an app for android or apple but to actually need a pc just seems excessive. But I like the triggers, I like the placement of the back buttons. I like the fact that you can switch it between an Xbox type of controller or a ps5 style.

Easy set up and configuration. Hopefully the stick drift will be no more

It’s a great controller with lots of features and customization but has one flaw and that is that you can’t update the controller on your ps5 or Mac so you loose some customization

Good controller, i mostly play on xbox but being able to move the thumb sticks to the same position as an xbox controller is beyond awesome

This ps5,4& PC controller works great . So far im loving the feel n lightness

Brought for Christmas our son started using it right away he said works better then his regular ps5 controller and he’s love the fact that he can change parts out

Awesome controller, I like to flip flop the controller layout often, I like to switch from fps to fighting games like tekken often so the customization is awesome for that!
