Turtle Beach's esports brand, Victrix, has today unveiled the successor to its Victrix Pro BFG modular controller. The new Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded builds on the original's modular design, adding two of the most fan-requested features: Hall Effect thumbsticks and triggers.
The headline upgrade for the Reloaded is the adoption of Hall Effect technology. Both of the controller's thumbsticks now use non-contact magnetic sensors, which should eliminate stick drift that plagues traditional potentiometer-based sticks over time. The triggers have also been upgraded to Hall Effect sensors, integrated into the versatile 5-stop Clutch Trigger system for enhanced precision and durability.
The Pro BFG Reloaded's signature modularity returns, allowing gamers to swap modules to their preferred layout. For the fighting game community, Victrix has introduced a redesigned 6-button Fightpad module with a new ergonomic design, placing key buttons within easier reach. The controller also includes a variety of swappable thumbstick caps, D-pads, and analogue stick gates for deep customisation.
Beyond the new hardware, the controller retains its pro-grade feature set, including four mappable back buttons and the highly customisable Clutch Triggers with a hair-trigger mode for faster response in shooters. The Xbox version comes with a lifetime license for Dolby Atmos, while the PlayStation version supports the console's native 3D Audio through the 3.5 mm jack. Available in black and white, the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded is now available for £179.99/€199.99 in the UK and EU. In the US, it's making its debut at the EVO Vegas tournament, with a full retail launch on September 28th.

KitGuru says: That much for a controller might seem a bit too much, but considering its rather unique feature set, we're not surprised. The modularity, Hall effect sticks, and wireless connectivity make the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded a controller like few available.
