It works excellently works as it should. You know the price is steep, but I mean you gotta pay what you gotta pay. It’s good though.

Great controller comes with the cable but it’s not rechargeable. Has back paddles you can program. Very light good quality looks like it will last longer than usual controllers.

Love this guitar!! It works amazing and compared to my older Rock Band guitars this guitar is buttery smooth. The frets feel really good as well.
I do have a problem with the placement of the start and select buttons as they are awkwardly placed so activating star power is definitely not recommended that way. It’s not enough of a con to drop it down one star however.
Recommend this purchase for sure!

Great controller. Love being able to play Muisc Festival in Fortnite and clone hero. Zero issues so far. Did have to download something to get it working with ch but otherwise perfect so far.

Features are good, but every PDP controller has a problem with a button or stick drift within a few months. This specific one is just over a month and the L3 does broke yesterday, making it difficult to play some games. Glad I purchased the replacement insurance which i suggest for anyone who buys this controller.

This controller is average at best. I bought this controller because my old one had broken buttons and stick drift. This one doesn't have any of those issues but the mute button towards the bottom requires you to press it twice to turn off and on which can be very difficult when in the middle of an intense scenario in you game. The thicker and tougher to the touch than my old controller. I would only recommend if you are more of a casual Xbox gamer.

I was looking for a controller that I could connect to my laptop, which carries an older version of Windows 8.1. This controller worked well although I did have to install a new driver.

I enjoyed it but i really didnt use it as much as i thought i would. You use it for 2 months and then the hype is kinda over. Would definitely think hard on if spending $140 is worth it.

SO Many Design Flaws
|

Functional, but way too many design flaws. To start, the overdrive lift sensor barely recognizes you trying to lift the guitar. You have to lift the guitar a full 90° and sometimes I have to do it aggressively for it to realize I’m trying to go into overdrive. If you’re someone who goes for high scores by activating overdrive at the perfect time, just stop looking at this guitar right now. The buttons are nice, but if you use the lower solo buttons, the shape of the guitar gets in the way of your hand and it’s hard to navigate your fingers. The whammy bar is SO close to the strum that it’s just annoyingly in the way, even if you turn it away. The strum feels and sounds like it clicks twice when you strum, so it really throws off your ability to stay in sync. The post for the guitar strap is not movable and it sits in an odd position that seems like it was made for lefties. It stays connected better than the Fender Stratocaster, but takes up a USB port on your Xbox. There is no audio and video sensor for auto calibration, and the guitar was supposedly made for RB4. I have to assume whoever’s making this item never actually put it to use or has never played Rock Band. Very disappointed in Best Buy because I was told there’s a “restocking fee” if I wanted to return it since it wasn’t “defective”. Seriously, this many design flaws is the definition of defective. I only use the solo buttons so it’s unusable for me. You would think a design would get better with time, not significantly worse. The only pro is the buttons feel nice and the rechargeable option beats eating through AA batteries. I tried it for 2 songs and it’s sat in the box since.

The best one I've played, but one minor flaw

Works as it should, really good battery life, easy to connect overall but to use it with clonehero you'll need separate (free) software. Folds down to take up less space as well. For most people it will be a 5 out of 5 stars but i gave it 4 stars simply bc i mainly use the upper lead buttons not the lower rythm ones, and the horns of the guitar can get in the way. I end up smacking my hand on the one horn occasionally, but it also forces me to be aware of it which isn't the best. Poor design choice because it did not need to be like that at all. Still the guitar is well made and functions well

Works great, handles nicely, the buttons feel smooth and quiet. Strum is a little small but great. Very light weight and compact. Long battery life and easy to setup.
