Controllers, they are the lifeblood of every video game system since the beginning of time. From the NES to the PS4, the controller has always been an integral part of any gamer’s arsenal. For as long as there have been video game systems there have been third-party controllers; whether they are good substitutes or horrible excuses of hardware are almost always wildly hit and miss. Gamers around the globe have always used the first-party controllers as these were often the best, not only for comfort but also in accuracy. Nothing is worse than when you are trying to gain the advantage on the enemy only to be killed because of third party software not being able to keep up. With recent advancements from the likes of PowerA and PDP could there be a shift in quality-over-cost ratio for these game peripherals?
Worth going waka-waka over? Why, yes!
slow news day with the offbrand controller with a game deep into the nineteen hundreds on it
This peripheral is ghostly good.
CCG writes - "Though not without issues, some minor and some bigger, I still absolutely love the PDP Victrix Pro BFG. It's my hope that the Xbox version fixes some of my issues; if that's the case, I would probably use that controller going forward, because if nothing else, these are some of the most comfortable controllers I've ever used. Nothing is perfect. But comfort, feel, and the incredible customization available here has led to one amazing controller that is absolutely worth a look if you're a fighting game fanatic, or you want some of the extensive customization available on this modular controller. It's a real shame that this PS5 version of the controller might have a hard time working with the app on Windows 11 in some configurations. I am grateful to have finally figured it out, though."
It's great to hear your honest take on the PDP Victrix Pro BFG, especially with the comfort and customization features standing out. I appreciate the heads-up about the app issues on Windows 11, and it's good to know you found a solution.
The prices of official controllers are irritating! Good article
I remember when third party controllers were total trash. I suppose it was only a matter of time before better technology became available at a cheaper price. Still, I think there is a lot to be said for the Xbox elite controller and first party alternatives. I hope Playstation bring out something similar. I always pay more for always decent first party product.
ive never found a good 3rd party controller...
Does the Ps4 even have third party controllers? I can't say I've ever found one.
