This guitar controller works great for Rock Band 4 and Fortnite. It also has long battery life.

Works great! Plug and play whether on my Xbox or pc

I like it, it’s a pretty good guitar controller. I definitely think it’s a bit pricey though, but other than that everything arrived on time and the guitar controller worked perfectly.

You probably found this by looking up the same thing I did. You wanted a guitar for your PC and wanted to know what the best options were. I found quite a few people that talked about this one so I decided to check it out. Short of a custom guitar I can’t see how any guitar would be better. Yeah you could get one from the Xbox 360 that’s wired but those are also a little clunky being slightly smaller then what would feel quite right. This guitar is of course wireless with a dongle so it installs most of the drivers automatically. I got this for clone hero and needed to install a controller mapper but that was so easy just a simple YouTube video and I was playing within 10 minutes out the box. No extra Bluetooth adapter malarkey the other guitars were trying to say we needed just one mapper for clone hero and the PC recognizes the controller already so I’m sure any steam games would work flawlessly as well and I’m not entirely sure you’d even need the key mapper. Like I said definitely the best option for your money

Works great when you get it to work. Lots of failures on the receivers. If it works out of the box you’re good and no need to worry but make sure you test it within the return window. Product support through PDP is good, they will ship you a replacement receiver if it doesn’t work.

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.

Great replacement for my older guitar hero controller, and it works well with Fortnite on both PC and Xbox systems.

Definitely an upgrade from the afterglow. I like the ezra grip triggers, I napped then to be the upper r buttons so I'm not switching between those the triggers. I may actually make a few different profiles for the different games I play, but that seems to be the best use. The cable is better quality Egan the lower end controllers as well. The joysticks work well and I actually put tips on then to get evection more control. I feel like this controller was a great investment today's fine tuning my gaming experience.

I got this controller for PC, I didn’t want to buy a 20 year old guitar controller that’s on its last legs. Yes, you can also buy a clicky strumbar replacement if you are an elitist . It works great, you need additional software to play games like Clone Hero, but every game works fine. If you just want to play Fortnite Festival it works natively

So good had to buy another one, recommend to any one wanting to play.

Great guitar, works on YARG with no issues. Also easy to travel with.

Its been at least a decade since I last picked up a plastic guitar. In that time, I had a daughter, gave her an appreciation of what is now considered classic rock, and taught her to read via karaoke. To fine tune her pitch, I went and bought Rock Band 4 strictly for the singing, since buying a used guitar controller that worked on the newest systems was like hunting for treasure. When PDP hinted at the upcoming guitar controller, I knew I had to get two. Now my wife, daughter and I are akl jamming out to the hubdreds of songs I have collected over the years. The riffmaster fits my hands like an old friend. Everything feels great, the strum bar isn't too mushy, the fret buttons push down nicely, its not too clicky. Now PDP needs to come out with a drum set and Harmonix needs to cone out with some sort of sweetheart deal to unlock RB3 exports (I missed the window when it happened forever ago) and all my rocking dreams will come true

Works great. Best buy store is excellent. Only minor complaint is turbo tilt slightly clunky. Great guitar

[Employee of bestbuy] As described by the manufacturer, it does work "plug-and-play" on Windows. Just know that programs such as Phase Shift do not support newer controller tech such as this.

Has included UBS stick that plugs into Xbox. Seamlessly connected with this. Works well to play Guitar Hero 4 on Xbox.

Lightweight, good quality. Easy to set up for PC Gaming

It feels alright. Seems to work well when I get it working. But I bought it to use on PC not on Xbox. And, on top of that, lost the dongle to it in the first week because I had no idea you could store it in the guitar so it's been a giant paperweight ever since.

Please make sure you are aware that this is NOT compatible with Guitar Hero games. But if you are looking to play Rock Band and your original guitar is no longer working then this is for you. Finding a Rock Band guitar in the market is very expensive, over $100 and then you have to worry about if the buttons are working or not. The build quality of this is really good. The good, or the bad thing about this guitar is the strum bar and that all comes down to preference. If you like the old guitars where you hear the clicking of the stum bar, then you may not like this one. The stum bar on this is silent. I use headphones when I play so I could care less but I do know of people who like that clicking sound when playing.

To get this guitar working appropriately for clone hero it took some youtube tutorials but overall works great

It is a wonderful product my grandson uses it every day. He likes it a lot better than the two controllers that come with the system. I’m really glad that we bought these. I actually bought one for each of my grandchildren.
