Title: Best controller for fighting games in my opinion
Review: I have owned a Victrix pro BFG for about a year now, and I have to say hands down it is one of the best controllers I have ever played anything with. I started playing Street Fighter 6 on a Hori fighting commander octa, and while that is also an absolutely fantastic pad for fighting games, I tend to slide my thumb on the dpad to perform motion inputs and this led to my thumb developing a heavy callus. No knock on that controllerâs dpad whatsoever, if you are more of a ârollerâ than a âsliderâ then it will serve you wonders.This is absolutely not the case for the Victrix pro BFG though, as one of the interchangeable dpads is a smooth square shape which is specifically built for sliding, and it has not only improved the health of my thumb, but my precision in game as well. This is of course without mentioning the 6 button fight pad module, which has been fantastic for Street Fighter 6 specifically, as you can have all 6 attack buttons on the face while still being able to bind throw, drive impact, drive parry, AND multi button assist to the shoulder buttons. ON TOP OF THAT, you can bind the back paddles to anything to allow for certain specials to be performed, such as one that involves pressing LK and HK, which would otherwise require a claw grip. I did have to rebind the fight pad R1 and R2 buttons to R3 and L3, but the software made this extremely easy to do.I have been taking this controller to local tournaments since Iâve owned it and I always get compliments on it, and I always respond by giving my whole hearted recommendation for this controller. For tournaments specifically, the ability to use this on PS4, PS5, and PC without an adapter has been more than convenient, and the 2.4ghz wireless adapter is also great to avoid Bluetooth interference, should you choose to play wireless. The controller in general also has a fantastic weight to it, and it feels extremely good to hold for long periods of time.I only have 2 extremely minor complaints. The first being that there is no gyro capability, meaning that this controller is not the ideal choice if you are trying to optimize your play in shooters. This is hardly a big deal for fighting game players though. Second, is that I really wish that Victrix sold the stick and button modules by themselves, because I would absolutely love to get white modules to go with the black body.In conclusion, I highly recommend this controller to anyone looking for a new main, especially fighting game players. It will last long too, with the softwareâs capability to recalibrate sticks and update the firmware. Overall just a fantastic choice.

Title: WOW!! I'll score this against my SCUF Instinct Pro Wireless and my Razer Wolverine Ultimate
Review: Recently, I purchased a Victrix BFG Pro. I was skeptical, especially with it lacking vibration. I was borderline not considering it, mostly just because of that. After a few articles showing that Victrix will be adding Hall Effect Sticks in Q1 2024. Price being 40 (USD) for a pair. That's incredible pricing. So awesome upgrade. This matters because I also have a SCUF Instinct Pro Wireless (worst), Razer Wolverine Ultimate (my backup), and my new baby Victrix BFF Pro. Stock, the SCUF comes with no Hard Case. Just the basic swaps for D pad and Sticks. I had to purchase the Hard Case EXTRA, for like 40 or 50, I believe. It came with an additional cord, some additional stick top. And other little stuff. Starting left to right again, The hard case is a nice color grey and the inside is textured and looks great. It's the thinnest of the cases and for one that was paid extra in addition to the most expensive controller of the bunch at 200$ (prices are rough memory estimates). The case for the Victrix is ever so slightly thicker and only noticable if you have them side by side. Both would protect a drop in almost all cases. Inside, the Victrix has a top pocket for the EXTREMELY NICE Purple braided cord (type C to Standard USC). Also has stacked Styrofoam layers of tools and replacement parts, which includes the additional fighting pad that can be swapped with the right joy and button combo pad on the right side of the controller. The next up is the VERY sturdy and thick case. Inside is the pocket up top for the cord and the bottom houses the replacement D pades and sticks (which are held on by high power magnets and is the best setup of the three). With the information given, you'd be understandable in thinking that the SCUF was the worst of the bunch. In price? Sadly, yes. In usability? Hell no. The SCUF is my favorite to use. The reverse button placement is perfect *FOR ME*. Durability wise? Horrible, don't buy, trash, borderline a scam. Not only is SCUF already known for that, it turns out this first of the better QC lot was in fact, crap. Within the first 3 months I had to have it in for a faulty button and faulty bumper. Not a quick process since it's inconvenient to have no controller. Thankfully I'm a nerd lol. Got it back and all was golden. Then after a few months, the same button and bumper started not registering clicks either. Not every time. Just 1/10 I'd say. But you would be shocked how much is messed you up lol. Now, sitting at 14 months with it? Not great at all. 2 buttons. 1 bumper. 1 trigger. All faulty. Never dropped. No liquid anything. Kept literally in a hard case whenever it wasn't in use. I play a few hours a week total so this is minimal use. Terrible product. They will fix it. But I gotta pay for shipping and the full repair. So I'm stuck. Worst 400$ I've ever spent on controller and extras. The Victrix is so awesome. I have medium to medium/large hands lol. Not huge. They are on the CUSP of being too small. Which makes them perfect for me, but it might not be for my bigger brethren out there. I have not noticed the lack of vibration a SINGLE TIME. I even tried to pay attention for it and still didn't notice it. So I guess that's neat lolol. It feels light yet sturdy. It's what you would want for long sessions. Light weight and upgradable/repairable. Victrix doesn't sell replacements of anything yet, that I've noticed. But everything points to Q1 for the start of all that. I've been XBOX my whole life so my brain is struggling with the PlayStation symbols. Sell the XB setup for extra. Just a different single paddle. I'd be so happy. This is my go to by a mile. The Razer Wolverine Ultimate is a wonderful controller. The button placement on the back is TERRIBLE. That's all personal preference so I won't knock it for it. Build is solid. Can't speak for other products of theirs. It's very heavy in comparison. By a chunky margin. But it works great. Feels great. Way cheaper in price but not quality at all. They did a great job with that line. So I'd saySCUF - 6Vicxtrix - 9Razer - 7.5/8

Title: Pretty good controller
Review: The updating program was a pain to use cuz it wouldn't recognize the controller if steam somehow recognizes it first. After I found a solution online it was resolved. After that it was mostly a smooth experience with the controller. Buttons and sticks feel great. The wireless mode practically has no noticeable lag. Battery life is great. Ergonomically feels great to hold and the back buttons are responsive and easily programmable within the controller without the need of opening up the app/program to adjust it. Switching out the buttons/joysticks is very easy. It has no rumble but that is something I can live without to be honest.I only have 2 complaints. The buttons for the fight pad variation feels too low for me personally. It's kinda off center and a bit low reaching. Second complaint is that the triggers are extremely sensitive. You cannot rest your fingers at all on the triggers unless you want to risk accidentally pressing them. Wish they had a bit more tension to avoid that. A work around I found was to just adjust the deadzones on the triggers about half way so it's more manageable. I did this with the program on my computer that you download for this controller. The deadzones might reset when you switch the trigger locks on tho so be aware of that. If that happens just go back into the app/program on your pc and repeat the process. Kind of an annoyance I know. Overall a good controller so far.

Review: Controle de elite super preciso e adaptativo. Meu único porém é que quando configurado com os 6 botões de luta, virando um fight pad, ele fica com os botões R1 e R2 repetido, ao invés de poder remapea Los como é o hori fightpad octagonal, por exemplo. Onde os R3 e L3 viram botões de ombro. à possÃvel remapear os gatilhos, mas prs jogos de luta eles não funcionam muito bem pela localização. De resto é incrÃvel.
