HEXGAMING PHANTOM Pro Controller with 4 Remappable Buttons 6 Remapping Profiles 8 Interchangeable Analog Stick and Adjustable Triggers

Last Updated: January 12th 2026, after a few months of ownership; still amazing. Original: (Background) I'll be honest I play video games every single day. From Marvel Rivals, Overwatch 2, Apex, Rocket League, Minecraft, Arc Raiders, Battlefield, Monster Hunter, you name it I played it. I have always used the playstation controllers and after going through four PS5 controllers I was over it... I reached the point where I bought the sensors and a solder gun and would just fix it DIY, which works but is extremely tedious and has a high chance of messing up your controller if you fail. I was so tired of buying a new controllers or fixing them. So I thought about getting the dualsense edge. But it uses the same joystick sensors as a regular PS5 controller... yay more stick drift. Then $20 for each stick to replace it. Heck no lol. (The Hex Controller) Then I looked up the best PS5 hall effect controller. This was within the recommendations and was a top contender. (Also FYI I almost ordered the wrong controller so make sure it says "hall effect"in the name or prodcut ladies and gents!) Anyways this is the BEST investment of money for a controller I've ever made! I'm kicking myself in the butt for not buying it years ago. Hall effects last for YEARS and are smooth! This controller feels amazing in the hands and top quality. All my buttons worked, it came tuned right out of the box, make sure to check everything once it arrives. The different profiles work great for all the different games you wanna play and even has the ability to turn it off if you don't care for the back buttons. For shooter games those mouse click triggers change the game especially for burst/semi auto guns (The Kettle on Arc Raiders) or that ADS speed. Overall if you get this controller on sale here or their website for $175-$200 it's a no brainer deal. But I would maybe recommend buying on the website because I think you get the carry case there and a cable. (I didn't receive either one from this seller, but it came in the HexGaming box... *shrug*) Pros: Quality feel, great mouse click triggers, ease of use, recalibration tool for stick drift or etc, plug and play, hall effect sensors, 4 mouse click back buttons, 6 different back button profiles, no latency, and honestly a fantastic grip! (Didn't Test Rumblers, speaker, microphone, or adaptive triggers.) Cons: Requires a loose grip due to back button placement. Seems some people run into button issues down the line, (I haven't). Amazon seller doesn't come with the case or cable for charging. Personally I don't like the backbutton placement so I don't use them but that's probably personal opinion. Battery drains faster than a standard PS5 controller BUT that's expected from hall effect sensors. Overall: Could be a better price like around $175-200 ($249 before tax seems a bit steep, but hey competition & inflation). Tbh it does a fantastic job overall, and is well worth the money! I give it a 8.5/10, just wish they made a cheaper/different one without the back buttons, but instead with a bigger battery, then it would be 10/10! Read more

I have tried just about every popular controller at this point (dual sense edge, scuf envision, Xbox elite series 2, turtle beach stealth ultra, razer wolverine V3 pro, Flydigi Vader 4 Pro, and many more) and this one is probably the best I have used. The phantom does 3 things incredibly well: the hair triggers, the Hall effect sticks that can be calibrated, and the placement of the back buttons. The sticks are incredibly accurate to the point it even picks up the minute movements that none of my other controllers do (admittedly, this can be a bad thing at times in FPS games that don’t have aim assist lol, but turning the sensitivity down slightly makes it just like the others if you can’t get used to it). The hair triggers are the best I’ve used. They are micro click and they are absolutely instant. I can say it definitely made a difference in FPS games, especially when using a semi automatic option. The back buttons are the main reason I gave this controller a try because after being a long time elite series 2 user, I fell in love with the feel of the dual sense edge, but really missed having 4 back buttons with 1 finger per trigger. These are placed in a very ergonomic way such that it feels just as comfortable as my elite series 2, though I wish they were slightly harder to press as they are a little on the sensitive side. I have narrowed my extensive controller search to the Vader 4 pro and this. Each has its pros and cons, but I think the phantom beats the Vader 4 pro in just about every way. The elephant in the room is the price. Do I think the phantom is 3x better than the Vader 4 pro? Definitely not. I think this controller should be priced at no more than $199.00 and it would be a fair value for money. It’s just really hard to justify the cost of 3 Vader 4 Pro controllers for just 1 of these… TL;DR: it’s an amazing controller with every feature you could want, but the price is a little steep compared to controllers like the Vader 4 Pro which includes a very similar feature set for 1/3 of the price.

I’m hesitant to leave a 5 star review before using this controller for a few months at least, but so far it’s been great. It feels comfortable, the back buttons vs back paddles that I’m used to actually feel much better. The controller was very easy to set up as well. I’ve used Scuf, Aimcontroller, and Razer controllers, but this one ranks among the top. I just wish they offered more customization options for faceplates, but that isn’t enough to take away from the quality so far. Not to mention that the price is great for what you get. If the bumpers or something stops working (like every other back paddle controller I’ve owned has) within a few months, I’ll update this review. Read more
