HEXGAMING Officially Launches Phantom Pro Controller; New Joystick Option Added

Following a successful Kickstarter campaign, Hexgaming officially launched their Phantom Pro Controller.

Phantom Pro Controller boasts the standard DualSense features, with the ability to alternate between micro switch triggers, or adaptive, six different profiles, eight interchangeable thumbsticks, and a couple eye catching designs. It’s something we reviewed a little while ago, and were really impressed with. Since our review HexGaming added an additional option with advanced Hall Effect joysticks.

A full overview of included features can be found below.

Phantom Pro Controller Overview

Key Features Include:

  • Well-Designed Controller Layout:
    The PHANTOM Controller boasts an ergonomic design that enhances the hands-on feeling, allowing for an outstanding gaming experience. Its integrated structure provides multiple solutions and ensures precise, quick button responses. Soft rubber grips reduce fatigue during long gaming sessions, letting players enjoy every moment of gameplay.
  • Customizable Control Layout:
    Featuring 4 remappable buttons and 6 swappable profiles, players can tailor their control layout to suit their gaming style. Assign the necessary buttons to the remappable options, allowing for a maximum of 15 button assignments for ideal solutions and precise clicks. The back buttons are strategically positioned for optimal accessibility, ensuring a seamless experience. Configurations can be easily changed on-the-fly with the press of a setting button.
  • Versatile Trigger Options:
    Gamers can choose between an adaptive trigger for immersive feedback and a micro switch hair clicky trigger for rapid responses. The ultimate short-trip hair trigger, at only 1.5mm, enables players to execute actions in a flash, capitalizing on every gaming moment.
  • Interchangeable Thumbsticks for Enhanced Accuracy:
    The controller comes with 8-in-1 interchangeable textured thumbsticks, offering two heights and three ergonomic designs (domed, concave, and concave widened). This flexibility allows players to enhance their gameplay precision and capture targets more effectively.
