Where do I begin with the Victrix Pro BFG for Xbox?

Now, here I am, reviewing its Xbox counterpart, with a chance to reconsider.

What is different, are a few central parts of the controllers face.

The product design team has done a great job of converting this to an Xbox pad, so kudos.

The Xbox button has a lovely RGB ring framing it, which is another lovely injection of color.

Elsewhere, you have a 3.5mm headphone jack and a wireless USB dongle.

Instead, you use the wired or wireless button on the gamepads back.

Thats also where youll find the trigger stop switches and four programmable back buttons.

Performance

Reviewing controllers is slightly odd.

Where I think this Xbox version comes into its own is during single-player games.

The Pro BFG has some solid feel, but its grip pads guard it against feeling too distracting.

The same was true of Blasphemous 2, another 2D game that requires accuracy.

As youd expect, four back buttons do a lot to help this gamepad in first-person games.

Furthermore, the face buttons feel really responsive, as though theyre ripped straight from a first-party controller.

Should you buy the Victrix Pro BFG for Xbox?

I quoted that old Bruce Lee adage when I first reviewed the BFG - Like water, my friend.

I still dont believe its the perfect gamepad, but its so versatile that its pretty darn close.

I kept close watch of hours played to track battery life.
