Victrix ProCon BFG Wireless Controller for PS5, PS4, PC

Product Information

For those reasons, the Pro BFG is an engineering marvel that’s easy to recommend for players who jump around a lot of different game genres. The customization potential here is groundbreaking, creating a special controller with utility that is currently unmatched. The trade-off Cycle through different audio mode profiles by holding down the “Function” button and pressing L1/R1. The LED on the “Function” button will cycle between Purple (Pure Audio), Blue (Bass Boost), or Green (Treble Boost) to indicate the profile.

You want more battery life: The battery life here is worse than on the original DualSense, so it's worth looking elsewhere if that's something that bothers you. I wouldn't say battery life is the strong suit of either of these gamepads, to be honest with you. Both can be used in wired mode, if it's any consolation. Regardless, if it's battery life you want, maybe look for the Razer Wolverine V2 Pro, or look out for the incoming Nacon Revolution 5 Pro. You don't game on PC or Xbox: This is another controller that is only compatible with PC and Xbox. If you play on PlayStation, or ever mobile, there are much better recommendations on this list.

The wealth of customization options makes the Victrix Pro BFG ideal for all genres of games, not just shooters–which tend to be the focus of most pro-style controllers. It has great ergonomics and high-level performance regardless of which layout or modules you use.

Yes, the BFG is officially licensed, but that doesn't mean it retains all of the features found in the DualSense. This includes adaptive triggers, arguably the coolest console controller advancement in recent memory. As a primarily pro-style controller, the omission of adaptive triggers in favor of trigger stops makes sense. As the name would suggest, this variant of the SCUF Reflex controller has been specifically tuned for FPS games making it comfortably the best premium controller for playing Call of Duty. In addition to a super light 280g weight, reducing fatigue over long play sessions, the SCUF Reflex FPS boasts instant triggers that, in theory, should help you land accurate shots faster. Adaptive trigger resistance can offer some interesting gameplay angles when supported well, although it's a shame the ability to fine-tune its levels isn't the easiest without the more expensive Edge model. Moreover, in older models of this controller, it isn't uncommon to see trigger springs break or lose tension entirely when a game only tunes this resistance up to full. Kena: Bridge of Spirits crippled my original PS5 controllers.Again, this comes down to what you'll use a PS5 Pro controller for. I've supplied some genres/use cases I'd recommend for each down below. I suppose this round can be considered a draw, but if you keep your own preferences in mind, it might help you decide which you'd prefer. The DualSense Edge is designed to build upon the foundations set by the standard DualSense controller while providing a more pro setup for gaming, but when it comes to deciding on which controller is better, its usually down to user experience. If you're looking for a more pro build for your controller, we'd recommend the Edge, but you'll need to prepare to pay for premium. Do I need a pro controller for PS5? To begin with, we'd say that the DualSense is one of the best ways to experience PS5 games. A lot of games, especially first-party ones, are designed with the DualSense's bespoke features in mind, so it's got to be one of the best controllers for the console out there. Besides that, we can recommend the Scuf Reflex range, and the Victrix Pro BFG as solid alternatives. We'll soon be testing more models for the PS5 specifically, but there are also a myriad of great PS4 controllers that will work on PS5 if you play a lot of last-gen games. What PS5 controllers do pros use? When you first connect your DualSense Edge to the console, you'll be walked through entire settings menus of your PS5 you had no idea even existed previously. You'll find button remapping menus, profiles, deadzone customization, and otherwise very thorough options so you can set the controller up according to your every whim. As we'll come onto, there aren't a whole lot of accessories and ways for you to customize the hardware of the DualSense Edge. Instead, Sony took a much more software-oriented approach to customization.

The Victrix Pro BFG is a totally different beast when compared to the standard dual-sense controller. Besides plenty of regular pro features, the standout one here is the fact that it’s a modular controller and its layout and appearance are totally up to your personal preferences. Its design is a departure from the minimalism of the Dual Sense and its size is more in line with something like an Xbox controller. All the buttons are easily accessible and there’s no adjustment period necessary except for the weight as the Pro BFG weighs 260 grams which actually makes it 20 grams lighter than the Dual Sense. To remove the module, locate the included purple Module Swap Tool in the carrying case and unscrew the 2 hex-screws on the module. The screws will be retained in the module and will not remove entirely or fall out from the module plate.If you want to take the DualSense controller to the next level without managing the customizations yourself, the HexGaming Rival gets it done. It’s a highly altered DualSense controller, coming with major aesthetic changes as well as some performance changes to give you a leg up on the competition. The final product exudes quality, but with all that greatness comes a high cost, so be prepared to shell out a good chunk of change for these mods.
