Pretty Fantastic, Actually!
By Argent Arts on Reviewed in the United States on December 13, 2024
I am no serious gamer. Certainly not a competitive gamer. I play for fun. Most of my gaming has been on the PC using a keyboard and mouse. However, over the past few months, I've learned to love using a controller for 3rd person games, top-down games, and some old-school retro gaming. I've been on a sort of quest for the 'perfect' controller ... and there are so many of them. I've tried XBox styled, Playstation, and more. I've had them with the d-pad under the thumb stick and above. And I've found that there are times I prefer one over the other. That's what at first made the PDP Victrix Pro BFG for XBox/PC look so appealing ... it was fairly easy to customize. But none of that would matter if the controller didn't ... well ... control well. ;)First of all, the controller came really nicely packaged and came with a very nice hard-shell case. Inside was the controller and all the customizable accessories, nicely organized and easy to get to. So, way to make a nice impression from the get-go.The controller connected almost instantly to the dongle and I was off to the races! The buttons have a nice feel to them ... not squishy and comfortable to press. The triggers on the front are very sensitive! I had to get used to that, but it's great in-game. I'm still deciding which d-pad to go with, but am currently using the one pre-installed. It works a treat.As I said, I'm not some competitive gamer. I play for my own enjoyment. And I thought I'd had a favorite controller already. I've gone through several of them, each one a bit better than the last until one won out as the 'best'. The PDP Victrix Pro BFG blew the 'best' one out of the water! Even though the thumb sticks aren't Hall Effect sticks, they are pretty darned fantastic! And if I want HE sticks, I can get them now via the PDP store. The HE triggers are awesome, too! I really love them. The controller feels great in my hands, has a really nice weight, and the rumble is pretty fantastic, too.The back customizable buttons are really nice, too. They're not my favorite part of the controller just because I'm not quite used to them yet. Currently, I'm finding it too easy to trigger BOTH on a side (on the back) because they are pretty close to one another. But, again, that's me getting used to the button placement. For now, I've disabled two of them, leaving the other two active. That's helped for now. ;)Of course, customizing the controller is simple to do and only takes a moment. The hardest part may be deciding which pieces to try. ;)This is more superficial, but the controller looks awesome, too. I got the black one with purple highlights and love it.I'd thought I knew what a good or even a great controller was. I was wrong. The PDP Victrix has completely won me over. I love this controller!

Most Unfortunate.

I recieved the package, and was pretty excited. I opened the box, noticed it wasn't plastic wrapped or anything, and on the bottom it says "renewed."I didn't select or otherwise signify I wanted a renewed or "used like new" product.I decided to give it a whirl anyways, and to be fair - it works really well for the condition it's in. The only issue I have with it is the fact that the D pad doesn't work (likely because it's been "renewed"). Otherwise it's fantastic.The controller comes with a USB stick that goes into the front of the Xbox, and that's how it communicates with the console. It is very fast, very responsive, possibly the fastest controller I've ever used. I had to adapt to it's reflexes, and not the other way around.Outstanding.The buttons on the back are fully re-mapable, unlike the Xbox Series 2 Elite wherein the paddles are only remapable to the "X,Y,B & A" buttons. You can fully swap around the sticks and move the inputs around which is remarkable.I was actually stunned at how good it was - ESPECIALLY in the condition it's in; but if I'm going to pay brand new prices, I want a brand new product. I contacted Amazon support, explained the situation, and asked if I could return this one for a new one like I thought I was getting.They said they could not do that, because the first time around, the product I recieved was not as advertised, and so there's no guarantee the 2nd time around it won't happen again.Most unfortunate.I'll be returning it, and probably just going to get another Series 2 Elite - but this time with the highest warranty I can get lol.This controller seems fantastic, it really does, but if this is how the seller does business, then I'm not even going to try a second time.
