I have the Edge, and it's awesome. Just the fact that the software/settings is fully accessible on the PS5 is incredible.
Love the PFP
It's also on PC through a steam app
ageed
Has the stick gotten stick drift?
Software settings are unnecessary. You can access controller settings in nearly every game you play, to adjust the deadzone, sensitivity and button remapping with any controller in the options menu.
Great video. Thank you for the detailed categories on the pros and cons of each controller. It is extremely helpful in making the right choice.
I was a 2 back button guy, I have used 4 back buttons before but never liked the placement on 2 of the 4. The victrix has perfect placement on all 4 back buttons. I can get away with only having 2 back buttons, but because of the victrix I now prefer 4. Also the battery life is way better. Overall I’m not biased, I like both controllers, I’m not sending either of them back.
My victix is already in the mail.
I bought the Victrix 2 weeks ago and returned it the next day. It’s only $20 cheaper than the Edge. But it doesn’t have some simple features like vibration. The plastic also feels very cheap. I also couldn’t figure out how to turn on my PS from sleep mode with the Victrix. I had the dongle in the USBC front port and nothing. I just got my Edge last week and it’s definitely the better choice imo. The battery is okay. I don’t play more thank 4-5 hours at a time so
It’s never an issue for me. I did put all the setting on low/dim.
Currently I use the nacon unlimited on ps5 and its software every time you understand it you go alone and it's great. The edge calls my attention for that part of adjusting the sensitivity to your liking. but the fact that the battery does not last at all and that it only brings 2 paddles makes me doubt that it is really a pro controller. I would go for the besavior x1000. Thank you very much for your comments, they are great...
tbh i like my victrix, i just wish the fightpad was just place differently... almost if the 'fightpad' logo should be swapped, its annoying to press square or x button that and if it was magnets instead of screws wouldve been insane. but overall i like both.
All the folks I play with have to have the 4 back buttons after being used to the Elite series, so may have to lean BFG direction.
Besavior is a great option as well
Its heavier because its got vibration motors. The victrix was not built for that. Thus making the battery last WAY longer.
True
I have been waiting for this video,
But i have already ordered the Victrix … hopefully ive made a good decision
There are a lot of people that like it.
Dude I just bought the Victrix and ABSOLUETLY LOVE IT. It's not premium, BUT it's not the bottom of the barrel. It's right at the middle I would say. The weight is actually just right and that was my MAIN concern and that's why I was on the fence of buying it. So glad I did.
You need to keep in mind that the victrix controller is made for a specific audience aka the fgc the only feature i wish the victrix had is a clicky D-pad
that would have been better
Thank you for the video. Believe it or not I bought the Victrix TODAY! I absolutely HATE the PS d pad for fighting games. Haven't had a PS since the PS2 cause of that d pad. I'm VERY happy with my purchase, and it's not made of a cheap plastic that another reviewer said. I'm sure the dual sense is a good controller, but it's just not for me. If they would fix the d pad and allow you to readjust the sticks then I would ABSOLUTELY buy it.
Agreed
Would've bought a fightstick for that price tbh
I love my new dual sense edge, despite the criticism regarding its price and battery life..
Well, imo it didnt matter as long as I have a cable and get the performance of what I paid for.😅❤❤❤
I'm on the fence about the Edge. Battery life isn't the issue. It's justifying the price
You ever go for it??
Just do it bro
Hello I need some help the ps5 Controller dont want to connect to the zen wired it only does through Bluetooth
I prefer the 2 back buttons
The funny thing is the only thing that the victus has over the dual sense is that one of the thumb sticks is longer than the other one a quick fix to that is just buying a control freak thumb stick to make it longer and then that solves a problem for the edge. Lol
4 paddles
dual sense edge has a taller stick that comes with it
Honestly it just the lack of Bluetooth is what kills the BFG for me , being only connect to the dongle is major deal breaker for me beside the price.
maybe when it half off I would consider it as a main PS5 controller
Agreed. Price to quality and features just doesn't add up
You forgot to say that if you want to replace the stick module then you have to pay $20 for just one stick which can either be good since it’s way less but you have to factor in if a new one comes out like a next gen if it’ll be worth the investment
true
How much is the victrix stick replacement?
Absolutely u r right Agree 👏🏽
Got the Victrix and I’m gonna return it and get the Edge. The Dualsense features are too nice to be without and the Victrix doesn’t feel premium.
It doesn't feel premium at all
Do you play any fighting games?
I made the same exact mistake buying the Victrix. I returned it the next day bought my Dualsense edge just came in last week.
@@GearsAndTech how does the back button placement on the besavior feel vs the Victrix?
@@juanvera4122 no
Great video. I would like to know which one you recommend between the 2. I currently have 2 Dualsense and the 2 bottom of the drift after a few months. So I'm a bit afraid of the EDGE. Is the Edge better protected than the dualsense against Drift?! I'm very interested in the Victrix but I've read several reviews describing it as a cheap controller. So I'm curious to hear your opinion.
Of these two I prefer the ds edge
I find that mapping sprint and items that are used really often to a different option/paddle helps stick life. Keep it out of dust as well!
This might be a dumb question but can the BFG controller work on Xbox or just PS and PC?
I didn't try on Xbox
@@GearsAndTech Can you make a video or just try it and come back and tell me if it work please if you can?
I know I am a year too late for this comment, but in case anyone else wanted to know and stumbles across this thread, the only way to use Victrix with Xbox is to use a Cronus Zen. Switch the controller into PC mode, change the emulator to Xbox in the Zen Studio software, and the controller should work with no issues. This is under the assumption that it should work, cause I use the Victrix on the Switch, and that was the only way I was able to make the controller work on there (expect I switch the emulation to Switch, not Xbox).
I use both like I use the victrix pro bfg for games that requires instant triggers then edge for games that don't need instant triggers
With the vitrix Can u power up ya ps5 wit that controller .something no one talks about
@@mrplaytoomuch7177 No cause the dongle requires power.
The dual sense edge modules are not cheap if you think about it, a normal dual sense u can get sometimes for about £45 or so, 1 module in the UK costs £20… if u wanna replace both then you’re basically buying another dualsense
Yes
How do you use the Edge with PS4?
Does the Edge have the drift shift issue too like the sence?
Likely it will, but can be replaced easily
Are u able to put Kontrol Freaks on the dualsense controller.
Yes
The Edge is better on the PC than the Xbox controller, both natively and with the DSX app. It even has native adaptive trigger support in apps like F1 22 etc.
That's good to hear! Thanks for commenting
Can you connect a headset on the edge through audio jack?
Yes
If only sony brought out a 4 paddle attachment, id buy the edge.
That would be killer
"sort of, a pc controller", what problems have you guys had when using the PS5 controller on pc? I didn't use the original ps5 controller for long, but it worked flawlessly for me connecting via bluetooth..
I never got it to connect via bluetooth. Had to be wired, or use a dongle to get it to work. Otherwise it works great
If you guys still can't decide which one to get then I have a suggestion for you. If you're a casual gamer looking for a pro controller get the Edge but if you are a hard core fps gamer then get the victrix pro.
Great points
So the Dualsense only works wired to the PC? Hmm, I should probably tell my Dualsense at home that, since I’ve been playing on it wirelessly on my PC from day one, no dongle needed 🤷♂️
Lucky pc. They mated just fine
All I find on you tube is people reviewing it saying thay love it or don't buy it but there's no one showing how to sync it to the PlayStation I've had it since day one and still don't have a clue how to sync it !!
Sync the victix?
It doesn't sync. You plug it into usb or you use the dongle
It pairs to the dongle with the button on the back. Switch it to WiFi and you'll be good
It won't power on the ps5 either. So don't try
@@GearsAndTech well that dum all that money for the controller and it will not even turn a console on
@@shadowgaminguk8624 An unofficial controller made with original hardware can't turn the PS5 on? Crazy.
In my opinion your weong in everything but build quality and maybe the adaptive triggers. The bfg has cheap build quality so point to edge. The triggers of bfg are nore responsive and and shorter hair triggers. I guess we can give the edge the point because of adaptive triggers. Other than that the bfg winn the rest. Paddles. Modularity, customizing, etc. Also the bfg can and will have replacement modules from 3rd party companies or even vicktric itself. Vicktrix honestly wins for me.
I'm glad it works for you.
Thank you BFG CEO
You can connect to pc through bluetooth easily
Gears and Tech: “It sucks, it just kinda sucks” 😂😂😂😂
Gotta be honest
Can you turn the ps5 on wirelessly with the victrix ?
No
Not at all
@@GearsAndTech wow, that’s a big flaw. I really would like to get one but we are past the Atari 2600 stage where you had to manually turn it on
It's because of how the controller communicates with the ps5.
Using a dongle it won't ever be able to remote power on
@@GearsAndTech I am sure many will be returned
I have edge but play one game. Madden23 but the controller if you just play that game not worth it. I did try shooter game just to see and wow nice. This controller hood buy and does feel premium. I just wished I played other games to take advantage of this controller.
It does seem to have some pretty specific uses.
Probbaly besavior is more your thing
I wouldn't be leaning away from the Edge if it had 4 back buttons as an option.... Why Sony!?
It's weird. I don't know why they didn't out 4 paddles on
cap i use my ps5 controller on my pc via connectiong blue tooth i dont need no wire to play on pc
Can u power up ya ps5 wit that controller .something no one talks about
No. You can't
The edge it is..u been more helpful than them
@@mrplaytoomuch7177 Sadly, I would think this is common sense for most people who are into getting a new controller. If it's not made with official Sony hardware, or branded by them specifically, you're not going to get a home button that turns the console on.
Does the bfg work with Cronus on ps5 ?
Yes, but not as the licensed controller.
if your a fighting game player you borderline cant use the edge, they use ps4 so much in competition still, not having retro connectivity is a deal breaker, especially since sony could absolutely have let it work on ps4 but choose not to, also im not sure how you can objectively say 2 back buttons beats 4 regardless of if you use them or not
True
You’re Dual Sense Edge who re😂😂😂
More of a besavior who re
the edge is better in every way..except i need 4 buttons, its not an option..so i went with the bfg, its been great so far.
if they make an edge 2 with 4 buttons ill swap but until then this victrix is serving me well
I hear you
Total bollocks.
Edge isnt a huge step up from the regular PS5 controller. It doesn't really do anything of major significance differently. The fact you can replace thumbsticks is a bit of a moot point as they're $20 each & that's pretty much the price of an entire new regular PS5 controller.
Victrix is very well made - the fact it's light is absolutely on purpose; when using the six front button module you want an underthumb grip so you can use your fingers to tap the keys. You will absolutely want it to be light.
It's very well made & designed & it works great with other games too - the four back buttons are perfectly places and feel great, the ergonomics are much better overall. Unless it's a driving game (I only play shooters on PC with a mouse) I don't tend to use the top shoulders/triggers; currently playing FFXVI and I just use the back buttons instead of shoulder - way more comfortable given the back buttons are so good... and of course we can Swith stick positions to the Xbox layout which is undoubtedly far superior.
I disagree with you about the connectivity that ps5 edge win because most people own and like ps4 console so ps5 edge does not work for ps4 whereas Victrix pro have all the connectivity so Victrix should be win not ps5 edge...
I would rather buy a ps5 edge mainly because it is exactly the same as the dualsense ps5 controller but more features as you mentioned such as trigger, back button, software configure and look nicer.. but sadly, i wanted to have 4 backbutton instead of 2, and i was about to buy Victrix Pro, but backbutton just looks ugly and non-removable. :(. I dont like buying cheap plastic and no mic, no adapter trigger for £175.. so i will go for ps5 edge.
I would say try it before you buy it. Having 4 backpaddles is a huge deal, but as one review I saw on here a year ago, the reviewer rated it as the best 4 paddle controller he has ever used. I bought it myself, and as far as my hands go, the controller is perfect. It feels close to a Switch Pro controller, the 4 paddles are in comfortable positions, and the default D-Pad is actually kind of nice, I never felt the need to switch it out. Also, I haven't played with the controller for a long time, but when I did, it wasn't greased up like my Dualshock controllers usually are. Additionally, you shouldn't use your controller for a mic/mic input. Adaptive triggers is a bell and whistle accessory; It compliments the action that is displayed in the game, but yields no advantage in a competitive format. The Victrix is built for competitive play and at a reasonable price compared to other competitive controllers.
The victrix looks like what it is a cheaply made 3rd party controller, its trying to be all things to all people its not for me never had good experiences with 3rd party stuff i have the edge and yes its way over priced but you have that 1st party quality and its something i use everyday so its worth the price to me, although i hate saying a £200 controller is worth the price lol.
They are all so expensive
battery life??
Short
@@GearsAndTech not for the victrix 10+ hours. Those are the things worth mentioning in a comparison video.
I’m a PRO player , I actually need six back paddles and nubs
I wish I could figure out how to push that many buttons
I have a 4 pack back paddle and only use 2 of them
BFg needs more joy sticks
Agreed
Dual sense is uncomfortable.
Winner victrix.... Sorry fans
The last thing you want is your console's dongle hanging out. How embarrassing!
Right
7min in and u can tell this guy is a ps fanboy
It’s frustrating that Sony cant make one as good as the Xbox elite which is far superior and cheaper
I really like the Xbox elite for build quality and price
Heavy does not equal durable
Heavy equals better build quality and higher quality materials
@@GearsAndTech wrong ask the entire mouse market.
@@GearsAndTech or ask formula 1. Better materials can be used so you don’t have to feel like you’re holding a brick all day.
@@GearsAndTech honestly not trying to be toxic I just think it’s a bad way to evaluate.
thats wrong tho. The controller has vibration motors and victrix does not.@@GearsAndTech
You are a Sony fan boy ragging on victrix
Nah, just speaking the truth
They’re lying.
What does “Highlighted Comment” mean?
@@noexpert2918 It means you can easily see your own comment when you revisit this video
Yes u are wrong
You think I picked the wrong controller?
