We've had a lot to say about the Victrix Pro BFG Wireless Controller here at Shacknews. As far as premium third-party gamepads for the PlayStation 5 go, it's one of the best on the market. With its versatile modular layout and its sleek design, we were happy to award it the Shacknews Best Gaming Accessory of 2022. To learn more about the process of what went into its creation, Shacknews recently spoke with Victrix's Director of Product Development Trevor Lehr.

Lehr was happy to walk Head of Video Greg Burke and myself through the Victrix Pro BFG Wireless Controller's conception, design, and final product. Lehr also walks us through the various ways to customize the controller for maximum comfort, as well as some of the DualSense features that the team wasn't allowed to include and why that ultimately proved be to the controller's benefit.

In addition to the interview posted above, there's much more to learn about the Victrix Pro BFG Wireless Controller. Be sure to check out our entry for the Shacknews Best Gaming Accessory of 2022, as well as our initial review and why we felt that it's a big win for fighting game fans, in particular.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
