Pros:
-Premium quality feel and materials
-Hall Effect analog sticks
-Dolby Atmos wired headphone jack
-Has rumble
Cons:
-Back paddles are not modular; likely to press buttons while using controller with a standard grip
The Victrix Pro BFG offers tons of customization that's as simple as unscrewing 2 screws, and screwing 2 screws, per module you replace. What I love about the screws is each module that connects to the controller's base has its own set of screws threaded in. So you never need to fully unscrew them to use them for another module. The screws are also threaded to the module in such a way where there's 2 zones. One where you unscrew the screw until it releases itself from the controller. After that you can't unscrew the screw anymore. The screw remains attached to the module. Unless you push it further up with your finger and continue to unscrew it. Only then can you remove the screw entirely from the module. But I love that the screws can stay attached to the module. This way I never really have to worry about losing the screws, which are an essential part to the function of this controller.
It's an Xbox controller, so the default layout is that of an Xbox controller's. But if you prefer the PlayStation controller's layout, you can switch up the modules to do that. You can move the d-pad to the top-left corner, and the analog sticks side-by-side on the bottom. The best part is, the face buttons will still be the Xbox buttons, so there's no confusion of memorizing which PlayStation button corresponds to which Xbox button if you were to somehow use a PlayStation controller on an Xbox, or a PC game that uses Xbox controls.
Likewise, you can swap the d-pad for something of a more Nintendo controller feel, with the cross d-pad.
Unlike the PlayStation version of the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded, the Xbox version *does* have the rumble feature, which works with both Xbox and PC games. What I also consider as an advantage is that it does not have the touchpad, unlike the PlayStation version, which is great when used as a PC controller because you won't accidentally trigger it, since the PlayStation's DualShock 4 and DualSense touchpad can be used as a mouse and can't be disabled without third party means. Some may consider this as a disadvantage, so bear this in mind. For my use, I found the touchpad to be more intrusive than helpful on PC because of the accidental inputs.
The Reloaded version has Hall Effect analog sticks to prevent drifting. From my 100+ hours of using it, I have never experienced any drift issues with either of the analog sticks.
Changing the gates for the sticks is as simple as screwing a module, swapping the gate, and screwing the module back in. You can also change the analog stick to a shorter one.
As usual, your mileage may vary as far as battery usage goes, but it can go for about 20 hours per charge.
I did experience a couple of annoyances with the controller though.
It doesn't come with a paper manual. The manual and instructions for the customization can be found on Turtle Bay's website.
But the bigger peeve that may be a deal breaker for some users is that the back paddles are not modular. So they will always get in the way of your fingers if you have large hands. To avoid pressing the back paddle buttons, you'd have to have to finger your fingers in, making what would've been a great feeling ergonomic controller into something less comfortable. I will say though, after several days of use, I got used to it. But this also meant me constantly making accidental presses of the back paddles. When I used them as a PC controller, I had to use the controller's PC software to disable the back paddles.
Which brings me to my next point. You can customize the function of the buttons using its Windows software. The back paddles are on by default.
The back paddles placed on the inside of the grips and easily accessible.
The buttons are relatively quiet and feel responsive. The 6 button layout module was perfect for the fighting games I played them with. Unlike the Sega Saturn controller, which is a fan favorite among some fighting game d-pad players, the buttons are all big and equal in size.
On the back of the controller is a switch where you can adjust the travel of the trigger buttons.
There is a wired headphone jack on the controller that comes with a Dolby Atmos license. You'll be able to get Dolby Atmos spatial sound for games that support it, using any wired headphones you connect to it.
If you can get past the intrusive back paddles like I eventually did, it's a comfortable controller that feels great to play on for hours without any cheap feel of annoyingly clicky or mushy buttons, that's also very customizable to your liking.

So far I am really enjoying this controller. It works great with my Xbox One S and seems to have excellent battery life. I primarily play RPGs, sports games, and the occasional adventure title. I do not play many shooters on Xbox, so my focus is more on comfort and build quality than ultra-fast FPS response.
From the moment you slide it out of the box, the premium feel is obvious. It comes with a high-quality carrying case and includes a variety of swappable parts like d-pads, thumbsticks, and additional buttons. The fightpad button layout is fantastic for anyone who enjoys fighting games like Mortal Kombat or Street Fighter.
It was quick to charge, and setup was easy. The included USB dongle got me up and running on my Xbox with no issues. The Victrix software did not install automatically, but I found it in the Xbox store and downloaded it. It adds some customization options, such as adjusting the vibration and rumble settings, which was a nice touch. Nothing groundbreaking, but still useful.
One standout feature is the built-in 3.5mm audio jack that supports Dolby Atmos. I plugged in my headphones and the sound quality was excellent. I have been using the controller for over a week and have not needed to recharge it yet.
The purple and black color scheme looks great in person. The controller feels solid, and the buttons and triggers all have a nice tactile feel. The triggers in particular have a soft touch that feels surprisingly natural.
One major advantage of this controller is that it uses hall effect sensors in the sticks and buttons. This means they use magnets instead of traditional parts like potentiometers, which should reduce issues like stick drift or button failure over time.
Overall, I highly recommend the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded. It is comfortable, customizable, and performs better than the standard Xbox controller in just about every way. If you are looking for a high-end controller that delivers on build quality and flexibility, this is an excellent choice.

As a relative newcomer to modern video gaming, I've been amazed at the sheer variety of accessories now available, both from OEMs and third parties. Having grown up in the PlayStation II era I have less-than-fond memories of the aftermarket controllers I had. They were not well made and chewed through batteries like crazy.
That's certainly not the case anymore, and although I've gone to the proverbial dark side by switching to the Xbox ecosystem, I am constantly impressed by the quality of the third-party accessories I've played with.
That's absolutely the case with Turtle Beach's latest top-of-the-line controller for Xbox, the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded. While the name is a bit clunky, the controller is anything but. And this isn't just any controller: it's a modular affair, with swappable modules and upgradable parts. How cool is that?
The Victrix Pro arrived in simple, high-quality packaging, all recyclable with very little plastic wrap to speak of. Even better, the controller and all included parts came neatly packaged in a high-quality storage case, with even the screwdriver neatly slotted in. This not only makes protecting your controller easier (and included in the price), but Turtle Beach's smart packaging means the screwdriver, wireless dongle and swappable modules can all stay in one place and not get lost.
The controller itself is well-built from a combination of matte and textured black plastic, with grippy rubber elements where your hands rest. The buttons and triggers feel great and respond instantly with a satisfying tactility. The Hall-Effect thumbsticks glide like butter, and the fightpad's Kailh microswitches have an awesome clicky sound and feel. Suffice it to say, build quality is top-notch.
Setup is straightforward; I plugged the wireless receiver into my Xbox One X, turned on the console and the controller, and by the time the system booted up the controller was connected and functioning. The included Dolby Atmos lifetime subscription activated automatically and was immediately available as an option in headset settings.
I turned to a longtime favorite game, GTA III, for testing. Although it's not the most dynamic option it's one I'm very familiar with, and I figured if there were gaps in performance or use between the Victrix and the standard Xbox controller I'd be more likely to notice them.
Response is as fast and fluid as the standard controller, and the high-quality build feel is immediately noticeable. I don't have many complaints about the standard Xbox Wireless Controllers, but the BFG Reloaded is a step up. I love how smooth the thumbsticks are, with immediate response and a silkiness to their rotation that standard, non-magnetic thumbsticks can't quite match. I can see why serious gamers prefer this controller to your standard fare, especially in games where milliseconds are critical.
The triggers have a nice dampened "thunk" to them, but you'll definitely want to use the gray clutch sliders on the backside of the controller to adjust the trigger stops for your particular game. I initially left both triggers on their default/shortest stop, but quickly realized this didn't leave me any room to modulate vehicle acceleration in GTA. After adjusting RT to go all the way "in" I found the same smooth, sensitive action of the thumbsticks translates to the triggers, which are well-weighted and allow for easy control. I decided to leave LT in the shortest stop position to make reversing vehicles instant which seems to give me a least a little bit of an advantage getting out of sticky situations.
Turtle Beach includes four mappable back buttons, which is great for flexibility but has led me to inadvertently trigger actions far more than I expected. You might need to adjust your grip a bit if you plan to use these back buttons, which are mapped by default to trigger Y, X, A and B. This default behavior is not made obvious, and the included quick start guide is on the thin side, so I recommend a visit to Turtle Beach's support pages by scanning the included QR code.
For better or worse, customization is only available by connecting the BFG Reloaded to a Windows computer and downloading the Victrix Control Hub app. After installing the app the BFG Reloaded was recognized immediately and all customization options were presented. The Control Hub app is pretty straightforward and I had no issues making controller adjustments. I haven't customized a ton, but I have made changes to the aforementioned back buttons to cut down on accidental presses. Controller performance was as fast and flawless on my gaming laptop as it was on my Xbox, and again only required plugging in the wireless receiver to get things up and running. Not gonna lie, Turtle Beach's included wired cable reminds me fondly of my PS2 controllers, and I might have to use it if for no other reason than to relive the nostalgia of being tethered directly to the game console. Even as a kid I appreciated how the direct wire allowed for the fastest, most reliable connection.
All told, I'm very impressed by Turtle Beach's latest Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded. Build quality is top notch, performance is seamless and getting up and running is as easy as plugging in the wireless receiver. Sure, I wish the receiver wasn't strictly necessary, but it's hardly a knock against the product. I love the swappable modules which require just a few turns of the included screwdriver to remove. Not only is this great for customization -- and Turtle Beach includes options for this in the box -- but this is a win in the repairability realm, too, allowing for future upgrades or replacements without ditching the entire controller. Combine that with the great compact storage case and the top-tier connectivity and performance and it's easy to give this controller top marks. If you're looking for the best, I'd say look no further!

The Turtle Beach Victrix controller is a nice upgrade with the look and feel. It doesn't feel cheap, it has some heft to it. It's ergonomic and has good grips so I didn't feel like it was sipping out of my hands. I do wish there was a little more pop with some lighting affects. I thought it was really great to have a modular design, though it will take a little bit to get used to the Fight Pad layout. It would have been great if this was multi-platform so you could swap out the modules for different gaming consoles. Swapping out the modules is really easy though. I like that the little screws don't come all the way out so you won't lose them. I do wish that you didn't need to use a screw driver and that the modules just clipped in and out to make things faster. However it doesn't take a lot of time. I like that there's a lot of other customizations with the different d-pads, rings around the thumbsticks, and thumbstick heights. Another quick adjustment is the trigger press distance. You can tune that to exactly what you want. This is good for going from racing games, where you want more distance for gas, to shooter games, where you want that hair-trigger. For racing games I would of liked a little more resistance in the trigger pull. With shooter games the firing was too fast for me. It was so hair-triggered that I kept accidentally firing.
This was very plug and play with my Xbox Series X where I tried out Forza Horizon 5 and Halo Infinite. I really got the accuracy and movement I was looking for with no latency. The vibrations are really loud and rough though. They are not nearly as smooth as the factory controllers. So far this has had great battery life. I love the braided cable it comes with. The hard carrying case looks and functions perfectly, my only issue is that they just give you foam pieces to hold all the interchangeable parts. I wish it was a little more substantial because this doesn't feel like it will last very long if you swap out parts too much. I would recommend this for most gamers. I wouldn't consider this pro grade but it is a noticeable upgrade. You'll get the most bang for your buck if you like to play a wide variety of games but there's still benefits of being able to fine tune one type of game too.
