When I reviewed the original Victrix BFG Pro, I called it a modular masterpiece — a controller built with customization and precision at its core. It set a new standard for pro-level peripherals, especially for PlayStation and PC users who wanted something far beyond what Sony’s DualSense Edge offered. But now, with the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded (Buy Now), it’s clear PDP and Victrix weren’t content with just good. They wanted perfect.
The Reloaded model feels like the culmination of every piece of community feedback from the past year. It’s the same BFG DNA I loved, now with meaningful hardware upgrades that directly address player demands — built-in Hall Effect sticks and a reworked Fightpad module that’s an absolute dream for fighting game fans.
Design and Build Quality
At first glance, not much seems to have changed — and that’s a good thing. The BFG’s ergonomic grip and premium rubberized finish remain as sturdy and comfortable as ever. The familiar rotatable control modules still let me swap between offset and symmetrical layouts with ease, making it feel equally natural on PlayStation, Xbox, or PC. What’s new is inside. The Reloaded’s Hall Effect analog sticks and triggers finally put an end to the dreaded stick drift that plagued older mechanical controllers. Victrix didn’t just add new tech — they baked it into every module, meaning every Reloaded model is drift-free straight out of the box. Combine that with smoother magnetic response, and you’ve got analog precision that feels surgical in shooters like Call of Duty and Apex Legends.
Even the triggers got the Hall Effect treatment, giving them smoother actuation and improved durability without losing the signature five-position Clutch Trigger system that I raved about before. Whether I’m mapping them for hair-trigger FPS fire or a deeper pull in racers, they remain unmatched in responsiveness.
Performance and Features
In real-world testing, the Reloaded didn’t just feel better — it performed better. The controller’s responsiveness and stability were rock solid, whether I was connected via USB-C or wireless (with up to 20 hours of battery life). There’s no latency or connection hiccups, and the 3.5mm jack still includes the lifetime Dolby Atmos support that gave the BFG its audio edge.
But what really makes Reloaded shine is its upgraded Fightpad module. The six-button layout now uses Kailh microswitches for faster actuation and improved ergonomics. The palm rest angle has been refined so that long play sessions — from Street Fighter 6 marathons to Mortal Kombat 1 tournaments — feel more natural and precise. It’s one of the most comfortable modular fightpad setups I’ve ever used, bar none. The Victrix Control Hub app remains the unsung hero. It lets me remap every button, tweak trigger sensitivity, adjust deadzones, and fine-tune audio EQ profiles with ease. And yes, the three on-device profiles are still here, easily swappable on the fly with the dedicated profile button. Everything feels deliberate and designed for pros who want zero friction between thought and execution.
Customization and Modularity
Customization is where Victrix continues to crush the competition. You get three D-pads, four thumbsticks, four analog gates, and a Fightpad module all packed into a sleek carrying case. Every piece feels premium and purpose-built — no cheap swappable plastics here.
You can rotate the left module 180 degrees to switch between offset and parallel stick layouts, something no other officially licensed PS5 controller can do. And with the Hall Effect modules now built-in, it’s even more of a value proposition than the original, since you no longer need to buy extra parts to future-proof your controller. It’s clear the Reloaded isn’t just an iteration — it’s a statement. Victrix listened, refined, and delivered a package that solidifies its position as the most complete modular controller on the market.

REVIEW SCORE: 9/10
The Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded is everything I loved about the original — smarter, sharper, and more refined. It fixes what little needs fixing while keeping all the best features intact. Hall Effect sticks alone justify the upgrade, but when you add in the ergonomically enhanced Fightpad and all-in-one modularity, it becomes the definitive choice for competitive players across genres.
At $199.99, it stands shoulder to shoulder with Sony’s DualSense Edge, but it offers far more customization, better durability, and cross-platform flexibility. Whether you’re a casual player looking to step up your game or a tournament regular chasing perfection, the Reloaded truly lives up to its name.
