Operating Instructions
1. Modular Customization
The Victrix Pro BFG features a highly modular design, allowing you to adapt the controller to various game genres and personal preferences. Use the included module removal tool to safely detach and attach modules.
- Reversible Left Module: Swap between standard PlayStation stick configuration (left stick below D-pad) or offset sticks (left stick above D-pad) to suit your ergonomic preference.
- 6-Button Fight Pad Module: Replace the standard right stick module with the 6-button fight pad, ideal for fighting games requiring precise, rapid inputs.
- Interchangeable Components: Customize your analog sticks (different heights and cap styles), D-pads (various shapes), and analog stick gates (circular or octagonal) by simply pulling them off and pushing new ones into place.

2. Mappable Back Buttons
The controller features four mappable back buttons. These can be assigned to any standard controller input to provide quick access to critical functions without removing your thumbs from the analog sticks. Use the Profile Button to cycle through and activate up to three custom button mapping profiles, configured via the Victrix Control Hub app.

3. Clutch Triggers™
The patented Clutch Triggers™ offer five distinct trigger stops, allowing you to adjust the travel distance of the L2 and R2 triggers. This feature is particularly useful for competitive gaming, enabling faster reaction times in shooters (hair trigger mode) or precise control in racing games. Adjust the physical switches located on the underside of the controller to set your preferred trigger stop.

Maintenance
Cleaning:
Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the controller's surface. For stubborn dirt, slightly dampen the cloth with water. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive materials, as these can damage the controller's finish. Ensure all modular components are free of debris before reattaching.
Storage:
When not in use, store the controller in its included carrying case to protect it from dust, spills, and physical damage. Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
Battery Care:
The controller contains a Lithium Ion battery. For optimal battery life, avoid fully discharging the battery frequently. Charge the controller regularly, even if not in constant use. Do not expose the battery to extreme temperatures.
