    Our Verdict

    Based on our scoring, the HexGaming Rival Pro comes out on top with an overall score of 8.8/10. HexGaming modifies genuine DualSense controllers to add pro features — you get real haptic feedback and adaptive triggers that Scuf and Victrix lack. Back buttons are remappable without an app. Interchangeable thumbstick rings adjust stick tension. Hair trigger locks speed up shooting. Because it is a modified DualSense, every PS5 feature works perfectly. At $130-160, it undercuts Scuf while retaining DualSense features no third-party can replicate.
