In early 2024, Turtle Beach bought gamepad and peripherals company PDP for $118 million. Just before that happened, PDP released the Victrix Pro BFG. It was a pro gamepad with some neat customization features: The left stick and the D-Pad, and the right stick and the face buttons, both lived on modules which could be removed and reversed to toggle between symmetrical and asymmetrical analog stick layouts. A fightpad module was included too, so you could swap out either the left or right modules for some tactile six-button action.
I'm describing this older model in such detail because this newer Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded (now labelled 'by Turtle Beach') is functionally identical to that older PC controller. There are some minor changes once you scratch the surface, but before I get to those, let's re-iterate what carries forward.
Like its predecessor, the Victrix Pro Reloaded has the nowadays essential "pro" features, including four programmable paddle buttons, trigger stops on the L2 / R2 switches, and Hall effect analog sticks. Three d-pad variations are included, which accommodate both Xbox and Switch Pro variations, as well as a hybrid of both, and these can be popped in and out on the fly. There's even swappable octagonal housing for the analog sticks, lest you want a more toothy eight-directional feel.
Removing the modules with the included precision screwdriver and swapping them around is dead easy, though you'll need to be careful not to lose the tiny screws. Like its predecessor, the Victrix Pro Reloaded also includes two analog stick replacements. One of these is a simple 5mm replacement for the standard stick height, but there's also a 12mm stick that could possibly simulate a fight pad joystick, or else gratify the niche who love higher sticks for more accurate first-person aiming. Swapping them is as simple as unscrewing the module housing and then popping the sticks off with a little bit of force.
