PDP Victrix Pro BFG Wireless Gaming Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11, Modular Gamepad, Dolby Atmos Audio, Remappable Buttons, Customizable Triggers/Paddles/D-Pad, PC App, Black

I am no serious gamer. Certainly not a competitive gamer. I play for fun. Most of my gaming has been on the PC using a keyboard and mouse. However, over the past few months, I've learned to love using a controller for 3rd person games, top-down games, and some old-school retro gaming. I've been on a sort of quest for the 'perfect' controller ... and there are so many of them. I've tried XBox styled, Playstation, and more. I've had them with the d-pad under the thumb stick and above. And I've found that there are times I prefer one over the other. That's what at first made the PDP Victrix Pro BFG for XBox/PC look so appealing ... it was fairly easy to customize. But none of that would matter if the controller didn't ... well ... control well. ;) First of all, the controller came really nicely packaged and came with a very nice hard-shell case. Inside was the controller and all the customizable accessories, nicely organized and easy to get to. So, way to make a nice impression from the get-go. The controller connected almost instantly to the dongle and I was off to the races! The buttons have a nice feel to them ... not squishy and comfortable to press. The triggers on the front are very sensitive! I had to get used to that, but it's great in-game. I'm still deciding which d-pad to go with, but am currently using the one pre-installed. It works a treat. As I said, I'm not some competitive gamer. I play for my own enjoyment. And I thought I'd had a favorite controller already. I've gone through several of them, each one a bit better than the last until one won out as the 'best'. The PDP Victrix Pro BFG blew the 'best' one out of the water! Even though the thumb sticks aren't Hall Effect sticks, they are pretty darned fantastic! And if I want HE sticks, I can get them now via the PDP store. The HE triggers are awesome, too! I really love them. The controller feels great in my hands, has a really nice weight, and the rumble is pretty fantastic, too. The back customizable buttons are really nice, too. They're not my favorite part of the controller just because I'm not quite used to them yet. Currently, I'm finding it too easy to trigger BOTH on a side (on the back) because they are pretty close to one another. But, again, that's me getting used to the button placement. For now, I've disabled two of them, leaving the other two active. That's helped for now. ;) Of course, customizing the controller is simple to do and only takes a moment. The hardest part may be deciding which pieces to try. ;) This is more superficial, but the controller looks awesome, too. I got the black one with purple highlights and love it. I'd thought I knew what a good or even a great controller was. I was wrong. The PDP Victrix has completely won me over. I love this controller!

Durable built. Feels good in my hand and doesn't feel like a cheap contoller. Very sensative / responsive buttons and sticks. No lag. Connects to supporting devices via USB C cable, Bluetooth, or by using the supplied USB dongle. Very happy with the purchase. You can change various audio modes and button layouts by pressing a button making it very functional and easy to change configurations for different games. Only complaints that I have is it had a very bad chemical smell that made my hands stink after using it for awhile. But the smell in the case and on the controller did go away after a couple days after airing out. The options and menu buttons are placed really high on the controller and would be a good reach for smaller hands but not a deal breaker. The back pedal buttons are really easy to accidently hit, but can be disabled using the controller setup software. Not compatible with Ipad IOS. It will connect via Bluetooth or HUB, the iPad sees it, but you can't control anything or play games on the iPad. But even with these cons, its a great controller for the price. No regrets.

This is the best controller I've used. I just wish the trigger pull length lockers were recessed. I used to always keep my middle fingers in the middle of the bottom of the controller, but I kept bumping them and changing the function of the triggers. I learned to keep my fingers put of the way, but it seems like something they could fix easily.

I recieved the package, and was pretty excited. I opened the box, noticed it wasn't plastic wrapped or anything, and on the bottom it says "renewed." I didn't select or otherwise signify I wanted a renewed or "used like new" product. I decided to give it a whirl anyways, and to be fair - it works really well for the condition it's in. The only issue I have with it is the fact that the D pad doesn't work (likely because it's been "renewed"). Otherwise it's fantastic. The controller comes with a USB stick that goes into the front of the Xbox, and that's how it communicates with the console. It is very fast, very responsive, possibly the fastest controller I've ever used. I had to adapt to it's reflexes, and not the other way around. Outstanding. The buttons on the back are fully re-mapable, unlike the Xbox Series 2 Elite wherein the paddles are only remapable to the "X,Y,B & A" buttons. You can fully swap around the sticks and move the inputs around which is remarkable. I was actually stunned at how good it was - ESPECIALLY in the condition it's in; but if I'm going to pay brand new prices, I want a brand new product. I contacted Amazon support, explained the situation, and asked if I could return this one for a new one like I thought I was getting. They said they could not do that, because the first time around, the product I recieved was not as advertised, and so there's no guarantee the 2nd time around it won't happen again. Most unfortunate. I'll be returning it, and probably just going to get another Series 2 Elite - but this time with the highest warranty I can get lol. This controller seems fantastic, it really does, but if this is how the seller does business, then I'm not even going to try a second time.

I've had this controller for about 10 days now. I'm going to try to remember to come back in a few months to re-review it since a lot of controllers seem to fall apart after a few months of use. 6 MONTH UPDATE: The controller is still holding up great. I game about 4 hours every night and it's showing no sign of wear on the body or with the buttons. I usually leave it charging overnight every 3 days or so and never have any low battery issues. Haven't had any more issues getting it to turn on and sync to the console. TL;DR: This is a solid controller and my issues with it are mostly personal and not the controller's fault. Backstory: I've gone through a lot of controllers over the years and was in the market for a new one after my blue Series X controller has started to wear out. I REALLY like the latest Xbox brand controller but I've had 4 of them and I find the build quality to be hit or miss, so I didn't want to buy another one of those. I very much like the idea of a "Pro" controller with customization and back paddles but I've found the build quality and/or the price on most of the options to not be worth it. I went through 2 Xbox Elite Controllers in the past and the build quality on those is complete crap. I was looking at SCUF but came to find those are just heavily modified Xbox brand controllers and for $200+ USD I'm not taking my chances there. I also can't use a wired controller with my TV being so far from my couch. Doing research the Victrix came up so I decided to give it a shot. Feel: This is the most important factor to me and honestly where I'm struggling with this controller the most, however this is a personal issue and not the fault of the product. It's not shaped like the standard Xbox controller and is more like the Switch Pro Controller where the controller is slightly wider and flat on the top. After using the standard Xbox controller since the Series X came out it's hard to adjust to this. I don't think it's uncomfortable and won't cause any cramps or other physical problems but it was causing me to hit the wrong button at first and miss some shots in game. Build Quality: The build quality is solid. There's no gaps between the panels, no sticky buttons out of the box, and all of the components "feel" quality when you're holding it. It's about the same weight as a standard Xbox controller so that might be a plus or minus for some folks who like the weight of the Elite controller. It comes with a nice carrying case with a braided USB-C cable. The trigger locks seem especially sturdy and make a satisfying click when you activate them. I think the weakest part of the controller is the D-pad which just has that mushy feel and is not clicky like the Xbox controller. I also have concerns about the rubber grips as every controller I've had with rubber grips have started peeling after a few months of use. Customization: You get a number of different physical options for customization like different d-pads and sticks but I haven't messed around with them too much yet other than swapping the d-pad for a standard one. The unique thing about this controller is you can pull the modules off the front and swap them around as you see fit. The modules don't feel like they're going to compromise the build quality so far. You can download the Victrix app on your PC or Xbox to customize the controller further and I did have to do this for a few things like disabling paddles I don't use and reducing the vibration intensity. The one thing I do miss from the Elite controller is the ability to physically remove paddles I'm not using. I only use two paddles and it's awkward to hold the controller in a way where I don't accidentally squeeze the other two. Gaming: I've noticed that the deadzone on the sticks and the triggers is EXTREMELY low compared to the Xbox controller. Just resting my fingers on the triggers would activate them sometimes and with the sticks I was flicking past targets way too fast. Luckily both of these are adjustable in the app and I've gotten the triggers to a good spot but will need to figure out the sticks. Another thing I've noticed is that the paddles don't always respond to double taps. I'm not sure if this is a me issue with the way I hold the controller or if it's the paddles themselves. MISC: - This controller requires a USB stick for wireless. It does not use the Xbox wireless protocol. This means it takes a few extra seconds to turn on your console and you need a free USB port. - The second day I had it it would not turn on. I had to plug it into my PC to update the firmware. - It has a rechargeable battery. This can be good or bad depending on how long the battery lasts. I'll update on battery life after a few months of use. - The Xbox app gets laggy when you try to edit settings while a game is running. Not good for testing your adjustments.

Absolutely amazing i bought the product “like new”, no latency issues, back paddles are perfect, hair triggers are touchy, but well worth it for quick reaction time especially for fps games, ive had the controller for several months and 0 stick drift so far. Its well worth the money for the product especially if they are on sale, be weary of the price drops cause they have a ton of deals.

Comfortable, and easy to pair with my laptop because of the usb connector. Battery lasts a long time, and you can still use it tethered by wire. You can also swap out the buttons as claimed and comes with the screwdriver to do so. If this one failed, I would buy another.

Not for me. So many of these aftermarket controllers just don’t feel comfortable in the hands. Too many sharp edges makes it difficult to get the hands in a comfortable position. Edges of paddles are sharp, triggers are sharp, and the overall feel of the controller is sharp. I also assumed this controller came with Hall effect sticks, but it doesn’t. That should come standard at this price. I had to pay an extra $40 direct from mfg for the Hall effect module, and the sticks were bad on that as well. Very stiff and impossible to get fine tuned movements. Once I installed the Hall effects module, the right trigger stopped working properly and registered as left trigger press. Right trigger and left trigger were both registering as left trigger. Occasional disconnects when using WiFi also. I would only recommend this controller to people who strictly play games like COD, or fighting games like Tekken or Street Fighter. The module swapping is cool, but I don’t play neither of those genres of games so not worth the price for any other genre of games. You can go way cheaper and get a better feeling controller that does basically the same thing. If you explicitly want to swap to the arcade button only module is the only reason I can genuinely say this is worth the price, but at that point you might as well get an arcade joystick pad which would be better for fighting games
