PS5 Pro Controller Hits Lowest Price Ever in Sale

Gamers seeking a high-performance, modular controller for their PlayStation 5, Xbox, or PC have a compelling opportunity right now. The Victrix Pro BFG Wireless Controller has dropped to its lowest price ever, available for just $120, a significant reduction from its original $200 tag. This limited-time sale at Amazon applies to both the standard white model and a special Tekken 8-inspired version, with the officially licensed Xbox edition also discounted to the same attractive price. Since Amazon hasn’t announced an end date for this promotion, acting quickly is advisable.

This professional-grade controller stands out for its extensive customization. It features a modular design with interchangeable thumbstick layouts, a selection of three distinct D-pads, and an optional six-button fight pad module. The package is rounded out with four programmable back buttons, adjustable trigger stops with multiple settings, high-quality audio capabilities, and a protective hardshell carrying case complete with a braided USB-C cable.

Using the included tool, you can easily detach the faceplates to reconfigure the controller’s layout. This modularity lets you arrange the thumbsticks in either a parallel PlayStation-style configuration or an offset Xbox-style setup. The controller comes generously equipped with four different thumbstick caps, four stick grates, and three D-pad options: an 8-way disc, a 4-way model, and the solid square version often seen in promotional materials. The right-side module can be entirely replaced with the dedicated six-button fight pad for specialized gaming.

The Pro BFG’s trigger locks offer five distinct stopping points for precise control, while the four back buttons can be remapped instantly without needing software. For deeper customization, the Victrix Control Hub app on a PC allows you to remap all inputs and save up to three unique profiles directly to the controller. Although the configuration software is exclusive to PC, any adjustments you make are stored on the controller itself. This means you can fine-tune stick sensitivity, define trigger dead zones, and customize audio profiles on a PC and then use those settings on your console. The built-in low-latency audio provides detailed control over your headset’s sound, though it requires plugging your headset into the 3.5mm jack on the controller’s base.

Wireless connectivity is handled via a 2.4GHz USB-A dongle for use with PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. A lengthy, braided USB-C to USB-A cable is also included for a reliable wired connection. All components and accessories fit neatly into designated compartments within the included hard case.

It is important to note that the versions of the Victrix Pro BFG currently on sale do not incorporate Hall Effect joystick technology, which is known for its resistance to stick drift. While this model has a good reliability record, the potential for drift exists over time. The saving grace is the controller’s defining modularity; if issues arise, you can purchase replacement stick modules separately. In fact, Turtle Beach sells Victrix Pro BFG modules equipped with Hall Effect sticks for approximately $40 per pair.

Many argue that Hall Effect sticks should have been standard from the beginning. The newer Turtle Beach-branded Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded edition does include this premium feature, but it carries a higher manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $210. This branding change follows Turtle Beach’s acquisition of PDP in 2024, which has led to some accessories being re-released under the Turtle Beach name. Consequently, the original PDP-branded versions are likely to become scarce.
