Victrix remote owner here. One thing not mentioned that tops all other pro remotes is the battery life. I game a few hours per day and I go days without charging it. Battery life is amazing and I use this mainly for COD ranked play so adaptive triggers, vibration features, etc are irrelevant to me. This is the best controller I have ever owned 100% worth the money
The main reason why I was looking into this controller is because of the Xbox layout honestly. I love that layout over the PlayStation button layout. Thanks for the review!
I’ve been playing Helldivers on PS5 and you need to use the D Pad A LOT in that game and the DualSense is so hard to get to the D Pad while in combat. I try reaching across with my right hand but it just doesn’t work
As someone who have their controller plugged in at all times, doesn’t play with vibrations, and prefers the joystick layout of the Xbox controller this is a no-brainer for me.
I feel like it most games two is fine and yes I mean COD, Apex and most shooters. One is for jump and one is for crouch or really any other button you use a lot.
@SpawnPoiint dude, your videos are literally my favorite thing on the internet. Everytime you post something even if I don't care a tiny bit about it I still watch it in full. Thank you for doing what you're doing!
As a dedicated Xbox player who utilizes the Elite Series 2 controller, I believe the Victus controller presents an excellent option for me, primarily due to its identical stick and rear button layout.
I have been using a ps5 controller for fighting games and the only thing holding that back is the stick drift that is sneaking in. I have been thinking about this controller for a while so this review helps making a decision
@@lilechanneltv_7825if you do get stick drift on your normal controller you can comepletely eradicate that problem for getting a dualsense edge but I own a victrix and I love it
I think i’m fine with the edge controller. All i wanted was the paddles kn the back and being able to replace the thumbsticks with other ones. This is a good controller though if you want the fight pad, and being able to play xbox style. That’s really cool, to be able to do that.
so I love the edge controller when it is working properly. I'm about to be on my third controller in about 3 months. Both of the ones I've had, had failure on the right back button. it lost its clickiness and gets stuck depressed. The weird thing about that is i probably use the right one about half as much as i use the left one, but for some reason, both elites I've owned did that. I'm hoping the third one is a charm because everything about this to me is better as far as functionality/ease of options/price point compared to the other pro controllers.
@@chacazulo1987 I wish it was that simple. I am pretty sure scuf offers a six month warranty, which is just terrible. I have owned two scufs and luckily they have not broken on me before I retired them. Disregarding the fact that I think the reflexes solution to four back paddles is clunky and pretty crap , after spending so much on controllers, I need at least a 1-2 year warranty. I just flushed $270 down the drain because my battle beaver is having major problems after only three months. it is truly unbelievable that these companies don't realize the significance of coming out with a controller that has little to none of these downsides. For example, I have been waiting over five years for a PS pro controller, and it only has two paddles. That is absolutely insane considering most competitive players use four.
strictly getting this for wireless fightpad. everything else just a bonus feature that i love. i can replace my old controller and if i want to play rocket league i can and when i wanna play SF6 i just swap to fight pad. i love the multi purpose. magnets instead of the screws wouldve been really clean. maybe in the future.
Sony does not license the PS5 vibration. Example new Nacon Pro Revolution for PS5, don't have vibration for PS5 games, but work for PS4 games. Sony wants people to only buy their controllers
Seems like a dope controller. I have the dualsense edge and I love it, but just want to try out something new as well. I actually switch my shoot and aim buttons to L1 and R1 because it’s easier for me that L2 R2. Definitely gonna give a try. Better priced than that wolverine pro
I use the BattleBeaver customer controller which let you design it on their website and pick exact positioning of up to four rear buttons. It's amazing as it has all the features of a normal dualsense bar the haptics. I still bought the Dualsense Edge, but the battery on it means I use it less than the BattleBeaver 🎮
I guarantee someone will make plate options for it, eventually. No worries there. You also have to keep in mind that the dual sense edge has all the features a normal PS5 controller has, this less battery (though, 6 hours isn't terrible. If you are playing more than that without taking a break... maybe you should reconsider life choices.) This controller lacks much of that functionality, thus longer battery. It is a trade off.
I bought this controller used on ebay. It doesnt have a dongle or the 6 button keys for it. It still has its case and everything else other than the 2 things i mention. For 50$ its not a bad purchase. Plus using a wired controller for fighting games seem like a plus.
Well scuf, and many others, takes a stock playstation controller and mods it, thats why it works as a stock controller would, turning on/waking the console, having adaptive triggers, dongle-less connection, and rumble
The one reason why it requires a dongle to play wirelessly instead of the normal bluetooth way is also how Playstation consoles (at least PS4) handle wireless pads. Pad players can't disable their bluetooth connectivity on their own, so sometimes, you'll see a PS4 pad interrupting a fighting game tournament. Having a dongle like this probably prevents that, and having a pure wire option really helps fighting game players. Also, Victrix also makes arcade sticks, which is why they have the fighting face button layout for this pad as well. They are great in their contribution to the fighting game community
@merrydingoes youve got some fgc knowledge, just what I'm looking for. I'm looking into this controller because I'm a big FG player, and the PS4/PS5 dpad is just god awful for me and flakes the simplest of inputs. I've used an Xb1 to PS4 adapter for years, because the Xb1 dpad has all the individual clicks for each direction and never misses a beat for me. Just got a PS5 the other day for sf6 and upcoming mk1, tried giving the dualsense a chance but it's not working out + there's no Xbox to PS5 adapters out yet that work with PS5 versions of games. Do you think the dpad on this controller, or the one on the razer wolverine would be my answer? Like have better dpad registry and/or have the solid individual clicks in it?
@gyaroxx7829 unfortunately can't answer this question for you, as I don't own the Victrix pad, and I'm not pad player for fighting games (I use levers). I personally think the PS4 pad is rather good, especially after trying cheap 3rd party pads. I was mainly going through reviews on this pad, as I was interested in pads that have a thumbstick for dpad inputs, like the Hori PS5 fight pad, and I was wondering if this Victrix pad could do this (it doesn't seem like it does).
I planning to get the the victrix next month because the dpad on the ps5 controller is positively abysmal while playing mk1. I previously used the Xbox one controller on PC and moved to ps5 now but damn😅 My bro got the controller recently tho so I'll give it a try and if you want I'll tell you what I think of the dpad
Weird how I haven't seen or heard anything about this controller until now when it's an official controller. I bought the Edge controller a couple of months ago, and it would've been nice to at least have one more controller to evaluate at the time of purchase.
The R5P is definitely comparable to Elite Series 2 in terms of build quality, and it probably even surpasses the DS Edge. The DS Edge is just a slightly more premium feeling Dualsense without many "pro" features at almost triple the price.
Coming from Xbox to Playstation, I NEED that asymmetrical stick layout. Comprehensive review. Although you didn't mention anything about why the 8-axis thumbstick gates matter. They are very handy for fighing games, as you need the precision when doing moves without input errors, in for instance Street Fighter 6.
I had the vitrix Xbox controller and was impressed with it, however the main issue is had was stick drift. It started drifting heavily within 3 months. I managed to get a knew on the warranty, but had the same issue with the replacement. I would rather them invest a little more in quality control.
Get the dualsense edge. I own about 4 now about to have a 5th one coming in the middle of October. And a custom shell and don't forget to upgrade the battery.
I actually just ordered this before watching your review 😂 First thing excellent vid very clear 👍 I am pleased with what I heard. Been wanting a controller with rear paddles for some time but refuse to pay over 200 for any of them!!! Got this for £150 which I think is more than enough for any controller! After watching this I eagerly await delivery 👍 I will probably do a small vid myself on what I think playing Call of duty! Cheers.
Darn... I watched this to find out if it has vibration or not. You did eventually say it doesn't and now I know not to buy it. Play Dying Light and try the lock picks without vibration... Good luck with that! Thanks for the video. You saved me from having to deal with returning it.
Just grabbed the scuff invision pro and Im sending it back for a refund to get this one. If you want to relearn or play controller for the first time I recommend scuff. But I think this is for real controller players who started out on controller and love it there.
Fight pad module looks cool, but at that point if you want a controller for a FG you're better off getting a Hori Fighting Commander Octa for a third of the price.
I should have watched this before buying mine. I only bought it because it looks like a cool controller. Now i know it doesnt have bluetooth, and doesnt have a rumble thing
The reason I’m going to buy the BFG is that I’m 6’4” and 235lb and have huge hands. I’m also a “clencher” so when I get a bit panicked I squeeze way too hard and my skill is average at best so that happens regularly. I believe I’ve had every brand of pro controller for my XSX and none of them lasted longer than 6 months. The best was Power A while the 2 very worst were my Razor which shattered internally like a cheap toy within 2 weeks and 2 scuffs which both broke within 4 weeks. My Victrix Gambit has just past 13 months and is still working perfectly so for my new PS5 there is no question in my mind. The others have all been utter garbage. The King is still my 2002 PlayStation controller that still worked a couple of years ago when I tried it but only Victrix has been worth a damn. I may have been lucky with my unit but still it’s such a giant difference and I got nothing else to go on. If I ever meet a manager from Razor or Scuff I think I’d tell them they make crap then spit on them😁(I have email evidence of Razor ceasing to assist me as soon as I said I’m in Australia so they flat out broke warranty. Dirty rats)
I just cannot use the DualSense style controller. The D Pad is unreachable if you need it in a combat game and it hurts my hands so badly to hold. So I’m hoping this fixes those. It’s a shame there are almost 0 options for those of us that like the Xbox controller better
I have a DualSense Edge that I am using as a normal controller. Nacon Revolution Pro 5 to replace my Scuf that have an issue with R3 and L3. :) I am thinking to try this one as well, as I love 4 back buttongs. DualSense Edge it's one of the best controller I ever had (and had more than 8 Pro controllers). The only 'issue' I have is that there are only 2 back buttons. Everything else it's perfect: weight, feeling etc
I got one when they first came out and another for Christmas from my wife! I fuckin love these dam controllers! I got about 50 hours on the first one and no stick drift that I can tell. I know a lot of people are talking about the stick drift being insane which makes me wonder how well they take care of their shit or if they throwing tantrums from lost matches lol
No comment on the battery life here :(. With some googling it looks like it is about 20h which is presumably twice as much as both the Edge and Scuf controllers.
The main thing I want to know about this controller is if it is compatible with most PC games. Primarily on games on Epic Games like Fortnite and kingdom hearts.
You're more likely to get swappable adapters via a third party, if you want hall. Eventually, someone is going to mass produce a really good controller with hall sensors and it will force the industry to adapt, but until then, the controller Industry wants you buying new controllers. 2 billion dollar industry.
I just bought a ps5 and after 13 years of playing PlayStation only I got used to the ps3/ps4 controller. The ps5 controller has the buttons almost falling off the sides n it’s subtle but I noticed it off the bat n I still can’t get used to it. I wish I could just use a ps4 controller but it won’t allow you when playing ps5 games so I’m looking for one JUST LIKE THIS ONE! These buttons on this controller are on a flat surface rather than the regular ps5 controller having them roll off the sides!
I’m probably gonna cop one because I heard it also works on the ps4 so I don’t have to worry about it not working now and also when I eventually get a ps5
I had the bfg for 11 minutes before I returned it and shelled out the extra $20 for the edge. The fight pad is a cool idea but a pain to swap buttons. The design feels like it was made for an Xbox user & triggers were uncomfortably sensitive.
I like how the cross pad and thumb stick swap, and buttons. It also makes it easier to repair. No speaker, vibrator. I wonder if it has motion control for games like Super Monkey Ball?
this looks like it can be a good fight pad for fighters. the dpad and fight pad module sre something i can really get behind. especially since i always prefer my controllers like that when it comes to fighting games.
it costs 192 euro here, i did like it but went for the dualsense edge these third party controllers doesn't feel right in some ways. definitely have to rethink it though.
I have a ps5 pro controller and lovedddd it for about 6 months until one of the back buttons broke Im fairly familiar with fixing controllers so I thought no big deal I’ll find the part and low and behold they don’t sell it anywhere not to mention I don’t press buttons hard at all other than the triggers and the internal metal component that secures the back paddle broke with light finger pressure now I have a $200 controller that broke in 6 months
I will definitely go for DualSence Edge! I play CoD and Apex but also a lot more games, I prefer to have premium material and fully integrated! + the fact that official product last longer in a long run, so the price finally worth it! Anyway, thanks for this complete review!
