Victrix Pro BFG Tekken 8 Rage Art Edition Controller Review – Customizable, Comfortable, but Lacking in Ways

Jan 07,2025 Author: Alexis

This comprehensive review delves into the Victrix Pro BFG Tekken 8 Rage Art Edition controller, examining its features, compatibility, and overall performance across PC, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and even the Steam Deck.

Victrix Pro BFG Tekken 8 Rage Art Edition Controller Unboxing

Unboxing and Contents: The controller arrives in a high-quality protective case, containing the controller itself, a braided cable, a replacement six-button fightpad module, two gates, extra analog stick and D-pad caps, a screwdriver, and a wireless USB dongle. The included accessories are themed to match the Tekken 8 aesthetic.

Compatibility and Connectivity: Seamlessly compatible with PS5, PS4, and PC, the controller surprised with its out-of-the-box functionality on the Steam Deck using the included dongle. Wireless functionality on PlayStation consoles also requires the dongle.

Modular Design and Features: The standout feature is its modularity. Users can switch between symmetric and asymmetric stick layouts, utilize the fightpad for fighting games, and customize triggers, thumbsticks, and D-pads. Four rear paddles offer additional button mapping options, though the reviewer wished for removable paddles. However, the lack of rumble, haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and gyro support is a significant drawback, especially considering the price point.

Design and Feel: The controller boasts a visually appealing design with vibrant colors and Tekken 8 branding. While comfortable, it's lighter than expected. The grip is excellent, allowing for extended play sessions.

Performance on PS5: The controller functions well on PS5, supporting the touchpad and all standard DualSense buttons, but lacks haptic feedback, adaptive triggers, and gyro controls. Also noteworthy is the inability to power on the PS5 using this controller.

Steam Deck Performance: The controller worked flawlessly on the Steam Deck, correctly identified as a PS5 controller, with full share button and touchpad functionality.

Battery Life: A major advantage over the DualSense and DualSense Edge is the significantly longer battery life. A low-battery indicator on the touchpad provides helpful visual feedback.

Software and iOS Compatibility: The controller's software, available only on the Microsoft Store, was untested. Importantly, it did not work on iOS devices (iPhone and iPad).

Negatives: The absence of rumble, low polling rate, the additional cost for Hall Effect sensors (not included), and the dongle requirement for wireless are significant drawbacks. The lack of rumble appears to be a Sony limitation for third-party controllers.

Final Verdict: While the Victrix Pro BFG Tekken 8 Rage Art Edition controller offers a compelling modular design and excellent compatibility, the absence of rumble, the low polling rate, and the extra cost for desirable features like Hall Effect sensors detract from its value at the $200 price point. The controller shows potential, but needs improvements to truly reach its full potential.

Review Score: 4/5
