PDP Victrix Pro BFG Controller Review: A highly customizable pro gamepad

PDP Victrix Pro BFG Controller.

Despite the PS5 entering "the latter stage of its life cycle" there are still very few third-party controllers compatible with it. Perhaps it's understandable: the DualSense is a landmark device with haptics technology that would be difficult and costly to replicate. PDP's answer to that problem is to do away with physical feedback entirely in favour of deep customization.

The lack of haptics or "rumble" in the Pro BFG is a keenly felt loss when playing first-party games like Final Fantasy VII Rebirth that make good use of it. But the Pro BFG isn't necessarily designed for 70 hour single player RPGs: this is a device for competitive gamers, with a broad sweep of customization options that will please FPS and fighter competitors alike. It's an easy recommendation to PS4 and PS5 users, though its other compatible platform — the PC — has more competition and thus, its pitch is slightly more niche.
