    I like how you can go into XBOX settings and control the sensitivity of the controller. You can change the colors on the remote. There is also a convenient mute button.

    As an avid gamer, I had high hopes for the Afterglow Wave Xbox Series Controller. Unfortunately, my experience was far from positive. Right out of the box, the controller proved to be a disappointment due to a critical issue—it simply wouldn’t power on. Pros Ergonomic Design: The controller’s design felt comfortable in hand, continuing Xbox’s reputation for creating well-crafted, gamer-friendly hardware. Promising Features: From textured grips to the share button, the features seemed like a thoughtful evolution of its predecessors—though I never got to test them. Cons DOA (Dead on Arrival): The controller failed to power on despite using fresh batteries and following all troubleshooting steps provided in the manual. Quality Concerns: A product from a renowned brand like PDP arriving defective raises questions about quality control. Overall Performance This controller’s failure to even turn on meant I couldn’t evaluate its actual gaming performance. However, this fundamental flaw overshadowed any potential benefits it might have offered. Final Verdict The PDP Xbox Series Controller left me disappointed, and I had no choice but to return it. While the design and features are promising, the fact that such a basic functionality was defective undermines its value entirely. Hopefully, this was an isolated case, but my experience was frustrating enough to leave a sour taste. Recommendation: Inspect immediately upon purchase. Consider alternatives if quality control issues persist.

    Only had this for one month and the port where the power cord goes in is loose so the controller loses power often and sporadically. I’m really disappointed as I loved the look of the controller.
