Turtle Beach is re-releasing my favorite controller with a higher price tag and even I'm struggling to see what's been improved

If you've been looking for the very best controller for any platform for the last few years, there's only one I'd point you toward. The Victrix Pro BFG first hit the shelves for PS5 players in January of 2023, and following a hop over to Xbox, it's cemented itself as one of my favorite controllers ever made. That was before Turtle Beach bought over PDP and the Victrix brand, however, and now, the best PC controller is getting a relaunch.

Although, like many onlookers, I'm a tad confused as to why. The Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded got stealthily revealed over the weekend, and from a first glance, it's very difficult to see what's new about it. The first thing I noticed was an inflated price, which immediately piqued my interest. The $179.99 / £179.99 price tag was always something that worked in its favour because it undercut a lot of the $200 competition on Xbox and PS5. It seems like Turtle Beach has missed that, however.
