I've finally found a PS5 controller that's better than the DualSense — and no, it's not the DualSense Edge

The PS5 Slim is my favorite console. The pride and joy of my living room. A piece of tech I use nearly every day. Something that has brought me hours and hours of happiness. Granted, I was a little late to the next-gen console party as I only bought my PS5 Slim at the end of 2023 (I clung on to my PS4 until the very end), but it's some of the best money I've ever spent. Whether you're on a budget or are an eSports pro in dire need of a gamepad that will give you a competitive edge, we've ranked the best PC game controllers! Or if you like gaming on the go, check out our guide to the best mobile controllers. I've spent hundreds of hours playing my favorite RPGs, such as Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, Baldur's Gate 3 and Assassin's Creed Shadows. But what good is a console without a great controller? I love the standard DualSense as it has rarely given me much to complain about, and I've often thought of grabbing a DualSense Edge. First-party controllers aren't everything, though, as I've found after testing the new Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded. Now I ask myself, "Why would you get the DualSense Edge if you can just get the new and improved Victrix?" The Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded improves on its predecessor by introducing Hall Effect triggers and thumbsticks. My first impressions of it are solid as the controller's chunky grips make it comfortable to use, and it comes with a swappable Fightpad module, two alternate d-pads, two swappable thumbsticks, and a pair of octagonal thumbstick gates. It is a formidable alternative to the DualSense Edge. I've spent a few hours with the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded and I'll be spending more before I write up my full review, but my first impressions are highly positive. The controller improves on its predecessor by adding Hall Effect thumbsticks and triggers, and with swappable modules and sticks, it has quickly become my go-to gamepad. If you're still wondering whether you should get the DualSense Edge, I'm here to throw a spanner in the works. Here are all the reasons why I think you should get the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded instead. Hall Effect and TMR are all the rage today in the computing and gaming worlds. This technology basically makes controllers (and keyboards) more responsive, enabling pinpoint precision, and more durable as it negates the possibility of stick drift (we all hate stick drift, right?). Turtle Beach is no stranger to adding this tech to its controllers, and the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded is no different. The Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded improves on its predecessor — the PDP Victrix Pro BFG — by introducing Hall Effect triggers and thumbsticks, designed to give you a competitive edge. I used the controller to play a bit of Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 (can you tell I'm a little obsessed?) and F1 22, and I noticed a big difference in my performance. Get instant access to breaking news, the hottest reviews, great deals and helpful tips. You see, the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded's triggers have switches that can be toggled to one of five positions. For instance, you can enable Hair Trigger which turns the mechanism into a short, clicky press, or you can use the highest setting which requires you to push the trigger all the way down to activate — like on the DualSense. In F1 22, I settled for a medium press to switch gears as I didn't want my fingers to get too tired while turning tight corners in Monaco. In Expedition 33, I used Hair Trigger so that I could simply tap R2 to toggle Gradient Counter — after all, the key to winning battles in the game is parrying and countering on time. There are also four back buttons on the controller which can be customized via companion software — or you can disable them so that you don't accidentally hit them while in the heat of battle. They give the gamepad an ergonomic advantage as you can personalize them to suit your playstyle. I won't lie, using my DualSense after the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded felt boring and fatiguing! What sets the Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded apart from the DualSense Edge is the fact that it's highly customizable — and I'm not talking about illegally modding it which voids the warranty. Full disclosure: this is the first time I've "modded" a controller — and it couldn't have been easier. In the included case you'll find everything you need to swap the Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded's parts. There's a total of 11 interchangeable components: a six-button fightpad module with Kailh microswitches, a reversible D-pad and thumbstick left module, a swappable button and thumbstick right module, swappable thumbsticks and a pair of octagonal stick gates. Again, each offers a different playstyle so it's worth experimenting to find the right fit for you. To swap the parts, you need to use the included screwdriver to unscrew the bolts and then pop your new part in. Easy-as-pie, really. It can be done in under two minutes. I'm not big into fighting games but I gave the fightpad module a spin by playing Mortal Kombat 11. Having six face buttons made quick work of most of the enemies I fought. Because all the buttons are responsive and don't take long to register commands, button mashing was a walk in the park. I've realized now that for fighting games, I much prefer an array of face buttons over triggers and shoulder buttons. Well, this one is subjective. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, as they say. Me? I love how the DualSense and DualSense Edge controllers look. Both look futuristic and sleek, and the rounded and contoured shape provides a natural fit in your hands. I'm a big fan of the two-tone color choice and translucent buttons too. But I also really like how the Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded looks. It's available in either white or black, and both models sport subtle purple RGB lighting. To be honest, the PlayStation model feels like it has adopted the Xbox first-party controller's chunkier grips — and I'm not complaining. It's the one thing I miss from the days I was an Xbox girlie (but don't come at me for saying PlayStation is superior, please). The Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded weighs 9.3oz so it's slightly lighter than the DualSense (9.8oz) but it never feels out of place in my hands, and that's all thanks to the grips with their textured surface providing a sturdy hold. It's the perfect second controller — or for me, my new primary controller (Player One gets priority, them's the rules). As is the nature of my job, I'll be thoroughly testing the Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded and will cover my extensive findings in my full review, so keep an eye out for it. But as I said up top, the controller has made an outstanding first impression on me. It looks great and is ergonomic, and its got the latest Hall Effect tech to back up its gaming prowess. I can't wait to play more of my favorite games to try out how the interchangeable parts behave and whether they help improve my gameplay. The Turtle Beach Victrix Pro BFG Reloaded is now available to pre-order for $209 in the U.S. with shipping expected in late-September, or £179 in the U.K. with shipping expected in late-August.

Second Quarter Highlights Net revenue was $56.8 million. Gross margin improved to 32.2%, an increase of 200 basis points compared to prior year. Net loss of $2.9 million compared to net loss of $7.5 million in prior year. Adjusted EBITDA of ($3.0) million. Refinanced the Company's existing term loan and credit facilities, providing enhanced financial flexibility with a lower cost of capital on the term loan of approximately 450 basis points. Repurchased $5.0 million of stock under the company's recently authorized $75 million stock repurchase program. Reiterating full year revenue and Adjusted EBITDA guidance ranges of $340 million - $360 million and $47 million - $53 million, respectively. "I'm pleased to report Turtle Beach's continued execution in a dynamic economic environment," said Cris Keirn, Chief Executive Officer, Turtle Beach Corporation. "Our second quarter results and confirmation of full year guidance reflects our organization's agility in navigating the current challenges in the macro environment and gaming accessories markets. The swift actions we have taken on our ongoing cost optimization initiatives and rapid adaptation of our production strategy have significantly mitigated tariff impacts on our business. Year-over-year gross margin for the quarter improved to over 32% despite an approximate 150 basis point negative impact from tariffs. With the improvements seen in markets for Q2 expected to continue into the second half of the year, we expect revenue and profitability to recover in support of our full year guidance." 'Additionally, our recent strategic refinancing has meaningfully improved our cost of capital with reduced interest rates and enhanced financial flexibility, enabling us to continue investing in long-term growth while enhancing shareholder value. Looking ahead, we're encouraged by the market improvements we're seeing in the gaming accessories space, and we remain well-positioned to capitalize on key industry growth drivers into 2026." Debt Refinancing Last week, Turtle Beach Corporation announced the refinancing of the Company's existing debt facilities. The new $150 million facility is comprised of a $90 million revolving credit facility and a $60 million term loan. This significant milestone strengthens the Company's capital structure through a lowered cost of capital and enhanced financial flexibility. Under the terms of the new loan agreement, Turtle Beach has lowered its cost of capital on the term loan by approximately 450 basis points relative to the prior term loan, resulting in an annual dollar cost savings of over $2.0 million. Additionally, this refinancing revises certain prior operational limitations, including on the Company's ability to repurchase shares. Share Repurchase Update For the second quarter ended June 30, 2025, Turtle Beach Corporation repurchased $5.0 million of common stock under the recently announced $75 million share repurchase agreement. With the Company's continued commitment to return capital to shareholders, and the enhanced flexibility to repurchase shares under the new debt agreements, Turtle Beach intends to remain opportunistic in share buybacks moving forward. Financial OutlookTurtle Beach Corporation is reiterating its financial outlook for the full year 2025. The Company currently expects net revenues in the range of $340 million and $360 million and Adjusted EBITDA in the range of $47 million and $53 million.

About Turtle Beach CorporationTurtle Beach Corporation (the 'Company') ( is one of the world's leading gaming accessory providers. The Company's namesake Turtle Beach brand ( is known for designing best-selling gaming headsets, top-rated game controllers, award-winning PC gaming peripherals, and groundbreaking gaming simulation accessories. Turtle Beach's top-rated, fan-favorite Victrix brand is well-respected and favored by pro gamers in esports and the fighting game community.

Turtle Beach's shares are traded on the Nasdaq Exchange under the symbol: TBCH. Non-GAAP Financial MeasuresIn addition to its reported results, the Company has included in this earnings release certain financial metrics, including Adjusted EBITDA, that the Securities and Exchange Commission define as 'non-GAAP financial measures.' Management believes that such non-GAAP financial measures, when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results, can provide useful supplemental information for investors analyzing period-to-period comparisons of the Company's results. Non-GAAP financial measures are not an alternative to the Company's GAAP financial results and may not be calculated in the same manner as similar measures presented by other companies. 'Adjusted EBITDA' is defined by the Company as net income (loss) before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, stock-based compensation (non-cash), and certain non-recurring special items that we believe are not representative of core operations, as further described in Table 4. These non-GAAP financial measures are presented because management uses non-GAAP financial measures to evaluate the Company's operating performance, to perform financial planning, and to determine incentive compensation. Therefore, the Company believes that the presentation of non-GAAP financial measures provides useful supplementary information to, and facilitates additional analysis by, investors. The non-GAAP financial measures included herein exclude items that management does not believe reflect the Company's core operating performance because such items are inherently unusual, non-operating, unpredictable, non-recurring, or non-cash. See a reconciliation of GAAP results to Adjusted EBITDA included as Table 4 below for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025, and June 30, 2024. By providing full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA guidance, the Company provided its expectation of a forward-looking non-GAAP financial measure. Information reconciling full year 2025 Adjusted EBITDA to its most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, net income (loss), is unavailable to the Company without unreasonable effort due to the variability, complexity, and lack of visibility with respect to certain reconciling items between Adjusted EBITDA and net income (loss), including other income (expense), provision for income taxes and stock-based compensation. These items cannot be reasonably and accurately predicted without the investment of undue time, cost and other resources and, accordingly, a reconciliation of the Company's Adjusted EBITDA outlook to its net income (loss) outlook for such periods is not provided. These reconciling items could be material to the Company's actual results for such periods. Cautionary Note on Forward-Looking StatementsThis press release includes forward-looking information and statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Except for historical information contained in this release, statements in this release may constitute forward-looking statements regarding assumptions, projections, expectations, targets, intentions, or beliefs about future events. Statements containing the words 'may', 'could', 'would', 'should', 'believe', 'expect', 'anticipate', 'plan', 'estimate', 'target', 'goal', 'project', 'intend' and similar expressions, or the negatives thereof, constitute forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements are only predictions and are not guarantees of performance.

7 of the most beautiful waterfront bars & cafes in Northern Emirates

There's a quiet kind of beauty to the Northern Emirates, less skyscrapers, more coastal charm. From Ajman to Ras Al Khaimah, these spots feel like a quick escape from city life. You're not far, but it feels like you are, even if it's just for the day. Think calm views, slower pace, and that almost-holiday mood. If you're looking to switch into chill mode, here are seven beautiful spots in the Northern Emirates where coffee (or a cocktail) feels like a getaway with a view. Wave Café Restaurant Right on the water in Dibba Al Hisn, Wave is a calm, laid-back spot with sea views, clean interiors and a menu that goes from breakfast staples to big comfort dishes. The vibe is easy. From iced coffees to pastries, truffle pasta and a long breezy terrace that makes you want to stay longer than planned, it's relaxed, quietly elegant, and a perfect day-into-evening kind of spot.
