I grew up playing Rock Band on Xbox and the Wii. I bought two of these so my girlfriend and I had a video game we could play together, and we both love these controllers! They work just like the original Rock Band Guitars, and they even fold in half backwards which is convenient for storage. They also come with guitar straps which is great!

I find the guitar pretty good, no issues for me. Played Clone Hero and Fortnite Festival and yea its pretty fun playing with the guitar instead of a keyboard, so I would say its an awesome item to add to your collection in your room.

This guitar feels good in your hands, a nice size, and the buttons are sturdy enough for many hours of shredding. There are no complaints for this controller. It works on PC and newer Xboxes.
It does not work for Xbox 360 Rock Band 2 sadly which is what I hoped for when I bought it. That's not their fault though, it never claimed to on the box.

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.

I like it alot. It beats paying a ton more for the used official brand. However, you really do have to press down on the keys. Otherwise, its great!

Getting the band back together

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

RIFFMASTER Wireless Guitar

The RIFFMASTER Wireless Guitar definitely feels on the cheap side, the plastic and buttons don’t have the same solid quality I was hoping for. That said, for the price it’s doable if you just want a budget option to get by. In my case, I ended up returning it and went with the original Guitar Hero controller instead. The difference in build and playability is huge! If you’re serious about the game, I’d recommend spending a little extra on the original version.

You were excited to see that somebody had made a guitar again so we could play our older games and have fun. It was easy to use and connected very quickly it's not a bad price for what you're getting it's much less than a complicated control you normally pay $150 for her so I think the price is fair the build quality is durable and it folds in half for Easy Storage if you don't have a guitar stand.

Good Guitar Controller - Just Not for Phase Shift

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.
