[@Osborne4Life]

Victrix is known for their arcade sticks. This pro controller was made mainly for fighting game players.

[@diamonshade7484]

Sf6 baby

[@Dr.Ruffles]

Yeeeess sirrrrrrrrrr

[@randomyoutuber7898]

Right up my alley babay 🦾🦾

[@Kianfox]

I personally think its amazing for both! Best dpad ive ever used

[@XxUnraveledGamerxX]

Just bought one specifically for Tekken 8

[@vredtype]

I’m sorry but this IS for FPS and fighting games on a competitive level only. Why would you even think it makes sense to review it as an all around controller. It’s like saying “ I don’t like tanks , it’s like they’re only built for war times! I can’t drive my tank to school” maybe understand your product before you buy it, let alone making such a long review about it.

[@Chuckiechops]

I totally agree. Usually, these reviews are great, but this one doesn't sit right with me.

[@mariorruiz]

I bought my specifically for playing Apex Legends and it works like a charm. I’m heart broken to see how much this controller gets destroyed with these reviews when honestly it doesn’t deserve them. With the modules alone I see and understand why this controller is so expensive and in my opinion is a fair price. I’m not sending it back, I love it.

[@GearsAndTech]

I think the problem is there are other options that are better. I really wanted to like this one, but I cant justify it. Im glad you are enjoying it though, and I am not trying to change your mind. It is a good controller when you need the features they offer.

[@amritsingh2171]

Completely agree with you, I had the original Gambit controller and absolutely loved it and wanted this pro ps5 version. I wish the price was a bit better. It does not feel as premium as my ps5 edge controller but it has much better attachments. The annoying thing about the edge is that you can't map buttons without a ps5. Today is going to be my 1st day trying this new controller and excited to see what it feels like.

[@williamdrake3072]

Is the victrix good for no stick drift I wanna buy it cuz I heard it’s good for low dead zone on apex

[@amritsingh2171]

@William Drake I haven't noticed any issues yet. I also have their gambit controller and no issues. To be honest, I only think I had 1 playststion controller suffer from stick drift. I really wish we could get zen working again as I have the gulkit king Kong pro 2 that has zero stick drift and feels good in hand as well. I wouldn't even need the zen if sony would just allow 3rd party controllers and I would have just stuck with the Gambit since I play wired anyways

[@RedBad-]

Is there a noticeable difference between this controller and a regular one ? If I buy it it would also be for apex legends

[@BidenGreatest]

I don't like dual sense shape , I don't care about haptic feedback ,adaptive triggers and vibration ( they are always off) I like victrix shape and customization, definitely buying one !

[@randomyoutuber7898]

Same

[@D2dshnm]

Bluetooth adds input latency. This controller was designed specifically for Fighting games. For Fighting games lagged inputs and button presses are very detrimental to gameplay. That is why they went with the dongle alternative. They dongle offers little to no latency issues.

[@GearsAndTech]

True

[@IkeDiesel]

Bro latency affects everything you said fighting games as if shooting games aren’t affected by latency

[@RoyaltonDrummer922]

@@IkeDieselfighting games are way more sensitive to input latency. It was a BIG issue when Street Fighter 5 came out. A couple frames makes an enormous difference.

[@forrestmorgan255]

Bfg pro works perfectly for me it serves its purpose and I have a duelsense edge for my back up lol victrix is my main controller because of the customization options

[@user-kv4kc4sq1o]

Have u had any issues

[@crocodilegamingtv1178]

Thanks for stating your opinion. I happen to love this controller. It's funny because I was on the fence the first few days because, like you, I favored the dualsense thumbstick layout. However, after I switched to the offset sticks, my grip changed and all of a sudden, I loved it. All the issues you stated, all valid, just suddenly went away.

[@rigneynathan]

Off set joysticks is why pro gamers use Xbox controllers and not PS ones.

[@leeshepherd7197]

How did you set it up??

[@nochromo6572]

Me pesonally i disagree. I use it cabled, it fits in my hands, the back buttons are good, i like the fun features, ext... the only slight annoyance i share with you is the click triggers pressing when i don't want it to. 9.4/10 i reccomend

[@Smeagol44]

I would like to know which are the other options you mention, when taking into account the "fightpad" module. I don't think there are any, tbh....

[@myytti16]

4 paddles/back buttons is what makes me buy this over anything that has 2. I am so used to using 4 back buttons that I can't use any controller that has less. I wish that they would sell stick modules like edge. If they will, I will buy this after my Scuf Rexlex FPS eventually gets stick drift. Edit: you shouldn't pass on this controller just because of lack of haptic feedback and adaptive triggers if you have original dualsense still. Use that on other games where you need those features.

[@elijnr]

Im sure they’ll bring replaceable parts. I mean you can literally take off the thumb sticks so I’m shre it will come out soon

[@bigmoneyfungus]

Thanks for the review! I would recommend including video chapters so that we can skip to certain parts though. I appreciate your help

[@GearsAndTech]

Noted!

[@aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa372]

Is it possible to open up the module and replace the thumbsticks entirely (including the base) with regular ps4 thumbsticks? Thanks. Great video!

[@GearsAndTech]

excellent question. Im not sure though. My initial guess would be yes

[@randompseudonym4519]

How is it handicapping when wireless is faster, more reliable and less laggy than bluetooth?

[@HotelHero]

Reviewers these days man

[@MrChaos619]

Exactly, if you are playing competitive games specifically fighting games you want to use a wired connection and if you want to play single player AAA titles then use the PlayStation dual sense that came with your console

[@Chef_mealexc]

Tbh I have small hands so I like the shape of this controller. The only problem I have encountered with it is the Bluetooth connection not working or the mic port breaking easily. I do appreciate your explanation of how the controller works because it had no instructions in the box.

[@m2ljay]

Picked one up and it’s a great controller, it’s clear some corners were cut and I think if they were willing to just charge and extra $20-$30 they could have went all out and made a controller close to perfection. Hopefully we can get a v2 to pick up in the areas that they lacked

[@GearsAndTech]

Totally agree

[@McSmurfy]

I might have gotten something like this before the edge but I can't put my edge down as it's perfect so far😎

[@elijnr]

I mistakenly hit the paddles on the right a lot of times. I even tried the second paddle option but it’s hard to reach. This looks perfect because the buttons are well placed and require you to press hard a little like a button so you can’t accidentally press it

[@D00LEY356]

@@elijnrbro what are you even saying..The last part makes no sense.

[@voodude1074]

Lol have fun trying to buy stick modules every 6 months

[@Gomezdude7]

The biggest no for the edge that a lot of people never mention is the abysmal battery life

[@maforo85]

Why didn’t you compare it to the Hori fight pad ? It also has a 6 six buttons on the front. For fighting games specifically. That was like the perfect controller to compare it to.

[@GearsAndTech]

I would take this over the hori fight pad. Even though it's 2x the cost

[@lunytrickz]

i just bought a Nacon gamepad (to play racegames on PC) it has these 10g 14g 16g mini "weightbells" with it what are they for, what do they do?

[@GearsAndTech]

They do nothing, but make the controller feel better in your hands

[@lunytrickz]

@@GearsAndTech OK Thx ! ^^ as i'm in a lazy chair with the pad resting om my stomach wenn gaming, there's 0 use for me to open it and change those then ^^

[@yarbles66]

I think you've missed a lot of the point here. This is a controller specifically designed for fighting games. You obviously haven't played them much or you'd understand a few things better. I entered tournaments as a kid across the UK in the early - mid 90s and you had to use a pad. The six button thing makes a HUGE difference & the d pad is far superior to any other. Fighting sticks are cumbersome. I haven't been able to play fighting games for YEARS due to my thumb being absolutely battered from many years of (especially) Street Fighter 2. This is true with many of us older players. The build quality also makes sense. It's very light and that makes total sense when using an underthumb grip - you want to play like this with something with a heavy build xbox elite? Good luck. The modular build also contributes to the building feeling a bit rattly (personally I'd rather it was just fixed in position with dpad up and six buttons - but I understand as to why the company need to offer something multi purpose). As for no bluetooth. I never use Bluetooth. It's utter shit compared to 2.4ghz. If you can't organise your your gaming equipment properly to the point you're losing important components - that's on you. Besides - if you do lose it, you can buy a generic 2.4 ghz receiver for a few bucks. If you can't do an objective review - don't bother mate.

[@Dr.Ruffles]

i just shook mine when you did yours and mine doesn't rattle, so i honestly don't know what you did to yours pal. this thing feels sturdy as well.

[@GearsAndTech]

I got one of the first ones made, maybe they started making them better?

[@jrsavath1315]

Could you use a aux 3.5mm splitter for the controller

[@xLOVExGODx]

Completely off the subject but which monitor are you using? Looks very similar to the one I own. 🧐

[@GearsAndTech]

I got then a couple years ago and totally forget the model

[@xpwnstar6079]

How do you safely switch out the gates on the analog stick? I have yet to see anyone show that in their reviews.

[@GearsAndTech]

You pop it out from the back It's a bit violent

[@xpwnstar6079]

@@GearsAndTech @NihongoGamer All good man, I ended up using a plastic handle from a spatula to drive it through until it popped off lol, I'm loving the Octagon! Love your videos and I'm subbing.

[@heyguyslolGAMING]

The reason they might have gone w/ a 2.4 wireless over bt is because bt tends to sleep often which causes windows to randomly disconnect the controller from a windows pc. The other reason is latency, bt tends to have more latency over a 2.4 wireless adapter.

[@saltycracker0]

I just commented the last thing you said lol

[@PowderedNuts]

i dont play fighting games..and i needed a 4button ps layout controller, my only option was this or expensive custom controllers..i dont use things like rumble or adaptive triggers so the extra cost to keep them wasnt worth it to me, this was basically the only ps5 controller right for me. id have gladly paid 200$ if they added basic vibration and upped the build quality a tad..otherwise im satisfied with the controller... tho im not really the target audience for this lol i bought it for 2 features alone..kinda silly but it was worth

[@nel69k]

Hello! Are back triggers mouse click like the Scuff?...Thanks

[@GearsAndTech]

no. they have play in them

[@samuelfried6118]

It's basically a fight pad. I used to have some major issues with it that made it unusable, but the software update has fixed every one of them. I can disable the back buttons and the left trigger and left shoulder button. I only use the fight pad and the two right shoulder buttons for street fighter. No more accidental clicks on the left side or on the back buttons. The standard D-pad module like the one on NES is the best one and feels great for fighting games. Probably the best fight pad you can get at the moment.

[@GearsAndTech]

As a fight pad it's expensive.

[@PurpleSkiesRF]

I just ordered this and I have a two month period to return it if I don’t like it. I am specifically getting this controller for the sake of competitive fighting games. I picked this one over the Hori Octa. Are there any other controllers that you’d recommend over the one showcased in this video that has that same fight pad layout? I don’t care about price.

[@yarbles66]

It's a brilliant fight pad. This is a terrible, non objective review. Read my comment above as to why. This guy shouldn't be reviewing this pad.

[@trink4529]

I’m looking to get this controller for shooter games but I’m stuck through 2 pro controller options. Dual sense edge and the Victrix pro bfg, I do think that the dual sense edge is better but the price point between the two is where it gets me. Upping my budget is definitely doable but I feel paying upwards of 260$ for a controller is too much, I definitely need help deciding between the two. If you got suggestions please tell me thanks.

[@ryancarson3327]

Just got this controller last night at my local wallyworld and have been messing around with it this morning. It's phenomenal on Borderlands 2. No Hall effect sensors was my only complaint with it so far, but that's still an emerging tech that hasn't made it to many controllers at all.

[@GearsAndTech]

Yes. Plug the dongle into pc and it works

[@GankstaNip]

You make fair points about the missing features but buyers already know this in advance. I do agree about the sensitivity of the triggers. It's something I noticed right off the bat and I don't like it. Im not bothered by having to use the dongle for wireless though. You are also on point about how cheap the controller feels. It has a 2 year limited warranty but that's not really an excuse for this controller feeling so cheap. I'm disappointed when it comes to that. I do feel like the controller is comfortable despite feeling cheap. I play both shooters and fighting games so I feel that this controller is still more than worth it for those alone. Currently there isn't a good native alternative to this. The DualSense dpad is absolute trash for fighting games(tried the Hori FIghting Commander Octa and it wasn't good enough imo) and I prefer to play shooters from asymmetrical position. The Victrix Pro BFG fills both those needs and ultimately why I refused to buy the DualSense Edge. I'll just keep my DualSense controllers for the games that uses those features. Having said this, your review was fair and well made.

[@GearsAndTech]

Thank you for commenting.

[@diamonshade7484]

How would you say the case costs

I straight up cannot use the PlayStation controller. It hurts my hands really bad and the D Pad position is almost unusable in Helldivers 2. So I’m glad this exists

I'm assuming you flipped the left side to a xbox style control, if so, does this work better? The use of L1 + Dpad for stratagem is unbearable.

[@josephbornman8462]

However I disagree that it feels cheap. I think that’s a trick that happens when the rumble is removed-it feels so light that you think the plastic must be really cheap But the same thing happens when you take out the rumble on a Sony controller-it feels weird and hollow and plasticky That said I wasn’t getting the best clicks out my back buttons. Maybe it was latency (online gaming), but I just don’t want to deal with any problems of buttons not working, etc.

[@SilentAndy]

Completely agree. I think it's the placebo effect to blame here for why everyone thinks it "feels" cheap. It's like u said, simply because vibration and adaptive triggers are missing - that lowers the weight. In reality, it's probably the same plastic quality as any other controller, but don't quote me on that one. 🤷‍♂️😂

[@bonaelzee]

The only reason why it’s uplifted is because theirs not a lot of options for controllers on PS5

[@GearsAndTech]

I agree. This is one of the only true 3rd party options. Most are just modded ps5 controllers

[@mustangthearpy]

Your views are the same for me. I like the Victrix, however, I had to put the short dome stick on the left and kept the short concave stick with a Krontrol Freaks thumbstick top with a precision foam ring on the right to make the controller feel right for me.

[@josephbornman8462]

Actually for me when I rest my hand comfortably, my fingers are far backwards on the L2, R2 So… how do I press L1/R1? Awkwardly crimping my fingers inward? Whereas on PS controllers, my fingers rest on L1/R1, and I can easily adjust to R2/L2 The back button placements are perfect, but this is unfortunate for me personally, because it requires I move my whole hand on the controller in a worse position than the best fit, just doesn’t feel right

You're most likely very young the wolverine and edge shred this it's not even close the input is significantly slower the materials are worse and the customisation in game on the edge and wolverine are just better for gaming please try not to spread misinformation

[@04mauetful]

That makes me laugh. Because they can grant licences for a controller that dont have those features like haptic feedback and adaptive triggers but wont let us use our ps4 controllers on the ps5.... Makes perfect sense. What a cash grab

what is the best controller for fifa 2023 ps5

[@GearsAndTech]

I personally like the besavior for everything.

[@JustJoshinYa31]

People also need to realize that the victrix is almost identical to an Xbox elite series 2 without the rumble I love mine, I also went from Xbox to ps5 and all tnough I love the dual sense I wanted a controller with offset sticks , trigger locks and paddles without having to pay 250 for a razor controller so this works great

[@GearsAndTech]

I prefer the xbox elite series 2 over the victix. It's night and day for build quality

[@JustJoshinYa31]

@@GearsAndTech it is night and day but for anyone who owns a PS5 you don’t have the option to use an elite series 2 on that console so the victrix is the next best thing

[@scarredprofessor]

two weeks of use and already suffering from serious stick drift problems, the support service just sent an email saying they will get back to me in five working days. it's probably just a problem with my controller but it still makes you angry on a product worth almost 200 euros

[@GearsAndTech]

If you connect it to a PC and run their software you can re-zero the thumbstick setting. this will get rid of drift.

[@scarredprofessor]

@@GearsAndTech already done it many times, it doesn't work, it's ok for a bit but after a bit start to drift again. Is worst when i plug it with the cable, any cable not just the victrix one

The dongle is better for tournaments than Bluetooth, bro, this pad was made for people who play fighting games. All the negatives you point out were specifically chosen to suit the needs of a fighting game player.

Probbaly right. It seems some people like it

[@deathbyweightsco.6056]

Sometimes paying for innovation is better than gimics. I've played with it just a little and love it. It has a place in all categories. The fact that I could change the sticks around and the modularity makes it batter than most

Agreed

[@nomaschalupas2453]

Everyone rates this controller for things that it’s not made for. It’s a fighting game controller. You can barely be consistent with the origin ps5 controller because the sticky dpad.

[@GearsAndTech]

I think this controller is trying to be too many things For the price it needs to be. As a fight pad its great. But it's too expensive for that

[@nomaschalupas2453]

@@GearsAndTech that just means you arent committed to fighting games. doesnt make it too pricy. it can be used for more than fighting games and still have all the advantages over a dedicated fighting pad at the same price. portability alone is enough for many tournament players.

@@GearsAndTech the fighting game community is huge. what extras it has or dont have is catering to that community. no rumble, dpad and fight pad is the draw everything else is extra and thats not bad.

you don't need haptic feedback and/or vibration in a controller which was designed primarily for fighting games.

[@robertdew5177]

Reviving a dead comment section but the OP makes some very off base and false comments. The triggers being sensitive is usually a plus, pressing them on accident is user error not controller error. The term get good comes to mind. But aside from that he said the wireless is only through the dongle. It actually features the full bluetooth compatibility that the original branded xbox and ps5 controller have. Even tilt function works fine through the integrated bluetooth as well. The other difference is the astoundingly better build quality and self repair. It has onboard stick drift fix which is a true fix and not just an increase/decrease of dead zones. It re-calibrates to perfection. It's everything the other controllers do just better. This is not a paid promotion simply clarification by someone who regularly uses all of the mentioned controllers as well.

[@GearsAndTech]

Maybe a new version supports bluetooth. Mine did not

[@cmoor7928]

does the controller get detected as an xbox controller on pc

I'm sorry, I don't know. I would guess it'll show up as an Xbox one on pc
