When they’re not breaking the sound barrier, these controllers perform about like you’d expect. Not the smoothest triggers or buttons, but compared to controllers more than twice as much, the benefits don’t outweigh the cost. AND, the buttons on the back are very easy to set up, although they will wear out relatively quickly with heave use (pro tip: in RL, bind your boost button to one of the back buttons to aerial much more quickly).
This thing rocks for what it is, considering comfort, reliability, and value. The mic input and controls work very well, and so do the back buttons. Both features are bonuses on top of an already-solid build. Not solid enough to withstand the woes of RL, but what earthly thing is…
Just buy it!
Having resigned myself to the fact that wireless official controllers are a ripoff that I'll end up having to use wired anyway, I figured I might as well get a wired one. I bought this one fully expecting to return it because of the ridiculously bad deadzones, and inaccurate d-pads that plague nearly every 3rd party controller I've tried.
I was pleasantly surprised when I tried it. At first I thought it simply didn't work, until I realized you really have to shove that cable deep into the USB port. The opening on the controller is shaped to fit the end of the included cable, and it hard to get in there. Once it's in, it grips like a vice, and unlike the official controller, there is no way normal movements will shake it loose.
So I fired up the Xbox, and loaded the whatever game was in the tray, which happened to be Call of Duty: WWII. I fully expected my character to spin in circles every time I breathed on the analog stick, or any number of other horrid defects you usually get with 3rd party controllers, but it worked flawlessly. Possibly even slightly better than the official controllers.
As I said before, I have no idea how durable this thing is, but if I can even get six months out of it, it would surpass the original controller in every regard.
*BUT* there is 1 big caveat I need to call out: Longevity.
I'm not saying these fall apart and you should avoid them, but I have had consistent failures after about 18 months of use (which again, is maybe an ok life span, since they get used a lot).
The most common mode of failure is a stuck button (almost always the A button, since it gets pressed the most in a lot of games, but I've also had it with X or B). It doesn't completely break your game, but if you need to double jump, for instance, and the button won't pop back up for half a second, that's a problem. Worse still, it indicates that button will die completely. They get to the point where you have to pry the buttons back up because they won't pop up. If you have multiple controllers, you can swap out some membrane and fix things, but it is a bit irritating to do.
The second most common mode of failure is stick drift. This happens on every brand of controller I've had since the Nintendo 64, so it isn't unique to PowerA, and again the life-span for me seems to be about 18 months before something fails, so it's still a decent price. While you can take the controller apart and replace a stick to fix drift, it isn't as easy a fix as a button membrane, and the replacement parts are a little more costly, so it usually isn't worth the effort for a novice.
Ok, so those last 2 paragraphs might sound disparaging, but keep in mind that:
- I am still actively replacing controllers with this brand of controller because it's been better than other brands and lasted longer than other brands
- I recommend this controller to people
- I'm rating it 4 stars, which isn't bad
- I love the feel of the buttons and triggers, so the build quality is excellent (whereas a lot of controllers have mushy buttons to begin with)
