Hello everyone it's SpawnPoiint and today I want to talk to you about this Pro controller for the
PS5 the victrix pro BFG and how it compares to the others it's got adjustable trigger stops four
mapable rear buttons swappable thumbsticks and this clever modular design that lets
you change the entire layout of the controller including this fight pad module it's also one
of the cheapest pro controllers out there when compared to the DualSense Edge scuf reflex and
Razer controllers but how does it compare on features design and quality and is it really
worth buying so the first thing to note that this is an officially licensed controller so
it comes with all of the PS5 branding that you would expect to see and this immediately makes
this feel like a proper controller inside the box we have a hard sheller carry case and I've got
the victrix logo on the top and if we open this up we can see we get the controller and all of
the accessories inside and this includes a six button fight pad module for playing games like
Tekken or Street Fighter a spare set of thumbstick gates a USB dongle which you will need to use on
the PlayStation 5 when playing wirelessly there's also two extra d-pad button a spare set of analog
sticks with different heights a mini screwdriver tool and a 2.9 meter braided USBC charging cable
which I really like the color of and this can also be used for playing it in wired mode if
you'd rather not use it wirelessly and that is everything that we get inside the Box okay so
looking at the design on this this is not like any other PlayStation 5 controller that we've
seen in fact I would say this looked more like an Xbox controller it's given me Elite Series 2
Vibes which isn't a bad thing even the Triangular grips on the front have a series 2 look to it I'm
liking the color theme as well it's pretty much black all over with a hint of purple which other
than black and gray purple is actually my favorite color so this looks nice and holding it now this
feels ergonomic and I can easily reach all of the buttons I was concerned it would feel too big but
once I swapped out the thumbsticks from the Xbox to the PlayStation layout it felt perfect but
it's also very light like a lot lighter than I was expecting in fact I would say it's maybe even two
lights which makes it feel like a cheap plastic controller it's probably not helped by the fact
that there's no vibration module or speakers or microphone built into this controller so that will
naturally reduce the weight the plastic case has a hard brittle plastic fill rather than premium
First Impressions on quality is nowhere near as premium feeling as say an edge or an elite
controller which feel far more weighty but it's still packing some seriously good features over
the others the victrix logo at the top also lights up once it's powered on or charging and this also
doubles up as a button it works in the same way as a normal PS5 controller but this isn't a touchpad
to the left and right of that are the usual share and menu buttons that you would expect and under
that is a function button you can use this to program your buttons which I will show you later
there's also a tiny LED inside which comes on depending on what you're doing other standard
buttons on the front include the triangle Circle axon square and as this is an officially licensed
controller it's great to see that we get the actual icons rather than a blanked out plate
the d-pad comes pre-installed with this layout but this can be swapped out and moved around
then there's the PlayStation button in the middle which kind of works as you would expect however
I couldn't get it turn on my PlayStation 5 once it was in standby so I found out how to turn the
console on first and then the controller now like with most Pro controllers we do have the option to
adjust the triggers this means depending on what game you're playing you can swap between instant
or normal trigger responses the triggers feel nice in terms of their positioning and size but
they do feel quite loose and have that cheap plastic feel however they do have five stop
positions between normal and instant or as they call it their clutch mode each trigger can be
independently Changed by flicking this button on the rear and it'll go from normal triggers
to instant this is useful when playing FPS games like Call of Duty or Apex Legends where you need
that fast response when aiming or firing and they are instant being able to fire as fast as a mouse
click is crazy but swapping back to normal mode is a little fiddly unlike the edge controller where
there's a lever-like button that lets you choose between the different modes on this you need to
press the rear button in and pull the trigger down the advantage of this is you can manually set the
distance of where you want it to stop but it's not a quick process like the others now when you jump
onto games like gt7 for example where you don't need or want that instant trigger you get the full
range from the triggers rather than being locked into one mode and that's one problem with scuff
controllers because once you've chosen the instant trigger during checkouts you're not able to change
this on the controller the one strange thing I found when I was in clutch mode on the triggers
is they are crazy sensitive this is both good and bad as I find if I gently rested my finger
against the trigger it would still fire sometimes without me even realizing it the same happens with
aiming down sight but adjusting it slightly lower than instant worked absolutely fine for me around
the back we don't just have two but we get four mappable rear buttons these aren't removable like
we see on the edge and scuff controllers these are permanently attached positioning feels great
though and I would go as far to say these are the best positioning I've ever felt on a controller
now the purpose of these buttons are to allow you to remap any button on the controller to the rear
so for me while playing games like Call of Duty I'll always map the x or jump button to the rear
paddles it means while I'm running around I don't need to move my finger from the thumb Stitch or
press X I can just press one of the rear buttons instead and mapping them is really easy all you
need to do is press and hold the profile button which is found on the back of the controller and
press the rear button that you wish to map the LED will now start to flash and you simply press the
other button on the controller that you wish to copy and that's it you can also disable any button
by pressing and holding the profile button first then double tapping the button you wish to clear
talking about profiles there are three inbuilt profiles on this controller and you can tab
through those by pressing the button on the rear it'll go from purple to blue and then green this
means you can have different buttons mapped depending on the profile that you're using
like Call of Duty for purple gt7 for blue and Spider-Man for green so the single feature that
sets this controller apart from all of the others is the modular design by default it comes with the
asymmetrical thumbstick layout so we have the thumbs and the d-pad and a similar layout to an
Xbox controller but with this little screwdriver tool we're able to remove these two screws and
completely remove the module from here you can either flip it around and reinsert it giving us
the option to use it like a PlayStation controller with this symmetrical sticks or you could remove
the module entirely and replace it with the fight pad this now means for those games where you'd
rather use a fight pad and a joystick while you can I tested this out with a few games including
Tekken and Street Fighter and it works really well you can either use it with a d-pad buttons which
is what I prefer or you could replace the analog stick with the larger one and you would then be
able to use it like an old school fight pad and the buttons on this module are crazy responsive
they're almost like a mouse click rather than a typical button but the fact you can swap the
modules out and rearrange them how you need them is awesome essentially you've got an Xbox
a PlayStation and fight pad controller all in one although this does only work on the PlayStation 4
PlayStation 5 and PC it doesn't actually work on the Xbox so as mentioned you can swap the thumb
sticks around but you can also change the caps on them all you need to do is pull the tops and they
will pop off then you can install either of the spare sets instead so if you prefer the domed Caps
instead we can use one of those these feel nice and the positioning is great but the fact that
you can swap them out is a game changer so this controller can be used both wirelessly and wired
you tend to find the cheaper controllers stick to a wired only mode so it's great to see that this
one offers both around the back there's a physical button that you do need to flick between the
different modes and if you're using it wide as a case of plug in the USBC cable into the controller
and the other end into the console you can also use this cable to charge it and it does show up
on the PlayStation 5 menu so it takes the guessing out of what your battery status is as you can see
it here now if you do decide to use it wirelessly you will unfortunately need to use the provided
USB dongle I was surprised by this as most other controllers including scuff don't need to use a
dongle but that's because this one does use the 2.4 gigahertz rather than Bluetooth so you're
getting a lag free experience but it's still a shame now I do also own a few scuff controllers
as well as the edge controller so how do they all compare well there's a lot to cover but in
summary the scuff controller is better if you just want those instant triggers plus it has the four
rear mappable buttons profiles and works without a dongle but these are more expensive and the build
quality is similar whereas The Edge controller feels far more premium than the others I also
prefer the design and the adjustable triggers plus you can use the on-screen profiles to adjust and
tweak the controller as you need it the stick modules can be removed and swapped out but it
only has two rear buttons as opposed to four it's also about 20 to 30 pounds more expensive but you
are getting the full vibration adaptive triggers speaker and microphones built in something that
the victrix does not come with so with all of that said is it worth buying the vitrix Pro controller
for the PlayStation 5. well I bought this to see how it compared to the others and whether
it would replace the ones I already had and the short answer is the others are better but they
are also more expensive finally for money this controller is good and if you need that modular
design and the fight pad layout it is a no-brainer you're getting a lot of controller for the money
but it is let down by the overall feel and quality however if you don't need the fight pad I would
spend the extra and go for the edge controller instead it is far more premium feeling and if you
only need a controller for games like Call of Duty and you want those instant triggers I would go for
the scuff that's what I use and this controller is rapid now let me know what controller you're
using and if you would pick up any of these Pro controllers and drop a PS5 Pro Controller
in the comments and I'll give you a thumbs up for staying right till the end and if you did enjoy
