At Gamescom 2025, HEXGAMING is making a bold entrance with two pro-grade controllers — the PHANTOM series and the brand-new ULTIMATE PRO. Both are engineered for competitive gamers who demand precision, personalization, and comfort. While they share core technology, their differences in feel, style, and configuration open up distinct choices for players chasing their perfect fit.
Shared DNA: Performance-First Engineering
Both the PHANTOM and ULTIMATE PRO carry HEXGAMING’s dual joystick approach, letting users choose between Hall Effect Joysticks with a calibration tool for drift-free play or Potentiometer Joysticks paired with the HEX DRIFIX module. They also share 4 mappable back buttons with micro switches, 6 switchable profiles, adjustable trigger systems, and 8 interchangeable thumbsticks. This common foundation ensures that whichever you pick, you’re getting pro-tier responsiveness and comfort during marathon sessions.
PHANTOM Series: Maximum Adaptability
The PHANTOM series is all about adaptability and ergonomic precision. Its no-slip grip design is tailored for long hours without fatigue, and the adjustable triggers allow for both adaptive trigger travel and micro switch hair clicky precision. This versatility makes it ideal for players who frequently switch between genres — whether you’re sniping from a distance or button-mashing in a fighter, PHANTOM adapts effortlessly.
ULTIMATE PRO: Fresh Tactility and Style
Building on PHANTOM’s technical core, the ULTIMATE PRO tweaks the formula with a different button tactility and distinctive visual styling. This means the same competitive-level accuracy but with a fresh sensory feel and aesthetic appeal. It’s the choice for gamers who want performance without sacrificing personality, appealing to those who see their controller as an extension of both skill and style.
Choosing the Right Fit
If you value pure functional adaptability with proven ergonomics, the PHANTOM remains a standout pick. If you’re looking to combine top-tier performance with a unique tactile experience and bold visuals, the ULTIMATE PRO is the clear choice. Both models will be available following Gamescom, with pricing and pre-orders to be announced soon. For competitive gamers, HEXGAMING has ensured there’s no wrong answer — only the one that matches your playstyle best.
