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.

EDIT: This controller has died in less than 6 months. What a waste of money.I really loved my elite controller because of the paddles on the back, at this point I can't stand using a controller that doesn't have buttons back there. The paddles on the elite are pretty finicky. This thing just has buttons. Just regular buttons, it's so much better, it's ridiculous.That said, this controller has many problems. The shoulder switches have no dead zone at the beginning which makes them far too easy to accidentally trigger. You can adjust this in software, but it doesn't seem to properly adjust the rest of the curve after it, if that makes sense. That said, they feel very very smooth and of a higher quality than I honestly anticipated.The analog sticks seem pretty good too, I really have had zero complaints and I've put quite a few hours into this thing now. The face buttons are a little wonky, honestly, but I've got those back paddle buttons. So I barely care.The modularity of the buttons and analog sticks is a gimmick and you can't change them in any meaningful way, but I find the little six button arcade button face to be clever and I at least appreciate that.

I bought this for my brother who is 16, he absolutely loves it and says it was worth the money. It connects using a usb which he says works very well and that the controller hasn’t had any issues. He says it’s pretty responsive and there isn’t any drift or whatever it is.

Bought this one as a potential replacement for a Scuf Envision Pro that was acting up after a recent firmware update. Love the customization options, especially the ability to flip the left dpad/stick, as I prefer that layout to the offset. Build quality is solid, although the rumble tends to make the triggers buzz, which can be a bit annoying. Trigger locks support a couple of positions, however the lock switch on the back is a bit of a janky affair, where you hold the switch to release, try to find the spot you want, and release the switch, hoping that you found the right spot. In addition, the rear paddle switches stand out a bit too much for my liking - it's way to easy to trigger them accidentally while caught up in the action. I ended up just disabling them to keep them out of my way. Software is pretty good and I love that the settings are stored on the controller, without the app being required and/or getting in the way (looking at you, iCue). All that said, I did notice the latency difference between this one and the Scuf, which I didn't expect. It's not terrible - it's way better than bluetooth - but noticeable for those who have used other high end controllers and play games that require precise timing. For most I don't think this will be a problem, but for me I think I'll probably move on to something else.
