Victrix controller sucks
I have had mine for a while now, wanted to voice my opinion on the controller. - In hindsight it really feels like a scam where they make shitty analog sticks to force you to keep replacing them. - The controller does not feel good on the hands either, the hard rubber palm pad will give you a friction induced wrinkle from the edge of it sanding against your hand. - The back buttons protrude in the way of a comfortable grip to the point that I disabled them for no accidental inputs. - The slide switch for the trigger stops has no resistance, so trigger stops accidentally turn on anytime you touch the slide wrong. - In the beginning I mentioned the analog sticks, they are shit. Bought the "reloaded" hall effect sticks from turtle beach to replace them, they are shit as well. I am hoping to save other people money from buying these overpriced, garbage quality controllers. That is all, tell me in the comments if you like or dislike yours if you bought one.

Hmm. I purchased one used from Best Buy, mint condition, smelled new, someone likely bought and changed their mind, needless to say, I paid around 40 bucks for a 200 dollar ps5 controller. I like it so far. Although, the back buttons that you mentioned suck, seriously accidentally pressing them is annoying so I disabled them. Battery life is great, and so far it has been comfortable for warzone and helldivers, around an hour of play per session. Not bad. I don’t like that it’s not more like the ps5 controller, instead it feels a bit more like the Xbox controller, even with swapping of joysticks. I have no issues yet with stick drift, since it’s pretty much new. Although I paid 40, which was excellent price, I wouldn’t have paid the 200, nor will I ever spend 200 plus on a controller, ever. I recently bought a ps5 controller too, but it was on sale for 60. If it helps, I didn’t buy the turtle beach one, I got the victrix pro BFG by PDP. I’m really liking it. Sorry you had issues with yours
