New Call Of Duty-Themed PS5 Controller Gets First Discount At Amazon
Victrix's Pro BFG is one of the best third-party controllers for PS5
Call of Duty fans who game on PlayStation or PC will want to check out Amazon's limited-time deal on the recently released Victrix Pro BFG Field Op Edition. Launched alongside Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 in October, this modular wireless controller is on sale for $165 (was $200). This is the first time the new Call of Duty-themed controller has received a discount, and it's unknown how long this price cut will last. Alternatively, you can save $20 on the Midnight Mask Edition, a blue camouflage model released in 2023 alongside Modern Warfare 3.

The Victrix Pro BFG is a modular controller that's easy to customize. With the included tool, you can quickly remove the faceplates covering the controls and shift the layout around. This allows you to have aligned analog sticks (PlayStation style) or offset (Xbox style). It also comes with four thumbstick caps, four stick grates, and three D-pad styles, including the solid square design shown above as well as more traditional eight- and four-way styles.
The right analog stick and face buttons can be swapped out for a six-button microswitch fight pad. Naturally, this won't be helpful for Call of Duty, but if you like fighting games, it's a great inclusion. It's worth noting Victrix also released a Tekken 8 Edition of the Pro BFG in July.
The Pro BFG also has four built-in back triggers that can be remapped on the fly and trigger locks for R2 and L2 with five different stopping points. You can save up to three custom profiles that can be cycled through on the fly.
You can also remap inputs using the Victrix Control Hub on PC. You have more control over your experience with the app, but unfortunately it's only available for PC. That said, adjustments save to the controller, so as long as you have a PC, you can still take advantage of features such as tweaking stick and trigger sensitivity, setting up analog stick dead zones, and adjusting the sound profile. The Pro BFG has built-in audio that gives you in-depth control over your headset audio experience. Keep in mind you'll need to connect your headset to the 3.5mm jack on the bottom of the controller.
It syncs wireless to your PS5, PS4, and PC with a 2.4GHz USB dongle. Alternatively, you use the lengthy, braided USB to USB-C cable for a hardwired connection. All of the Pro BFG's accessories have dedicated slots inside the included hardshell carrying case.
The Pro BFG offers substantially better battery life than DualSense controllers, though. You can get close to 20 hours on a full charge in our experience. And if you want a PlayStation controller with the ergonomics of an Xbox controller, the Pro BFG is the best option. It's our top pick for third-party PS5 controllers.

The caveat to opting for a third-party PlayStation 5 controller is that you lose PlayStation's adaptive trigger and haptics tech as well as motion controls. If you're not okay with those losses, the only pro-style controller for you is PlayStation's DualSense Edge ($200). Some PS5 games make the DualSense's unique features a core component of the experience, including Astro Bot--you definitely want to play the PS5's wonderful platformer with a DualSense controller.
