    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!

    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.

    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.

    I will say. I have a few old guitar hero guitars from the past along with rockband guitars. I like the build, it is solid, all buttons are nicely placed. The analogue stick on its own is a nice addition. I have the PS strat, Les Paul, the Xbox wired xplorer, which are all honestly phenomenal (clicky strum). But to have a no latency wireless guitar with great battery life, I think this is a perfect substitute if you don’t want an OLD USED piece of equipment. Easy setup for clone hero as well!

    3 months in and I'd say I'm overall very happy with the guitar, it's not perfect though. Overdrive/star power can be a pain to activate, they should have included a physical button near the palm resting area. And I just never was the biggest fan of the rock and style fret buttons and the silent strum bar, I REALLY miss that GH click. But just to casually get back into it after a lot of years, I'd definitely recommend over trying to deal with old models, adapters and such. If you really want to "try hard", look into custom Etsy builds.

    This is your choice to go if you couldn't find a guitar hero or rockband set. Is besacally plug and play. I used on my Xbox Series X on rockband 4 and work perfectly fine, and i used as well on fortnite on my pc. Same for Clone Hero, so dont think about getting one

    Was really bummed out because my Xbox one guitar had stopped working and I couldn't find anyone to repair it. Found lots of used ones online but they were always in $200-$300 range. Got the riffmaster and not only can I play rock and on the Xbox one but also clone hero on the computer. Thank you guys for breathing life back into a beloved genre

    This Guitar Hero guitar works great overall! The buttons are responsive, the strum bar feels solid, and it’s a lot of fun to play with. It’s not quite perfect — sometimes the whammy bar feels a little stiff — but for the price, it’s definitely worth it. Would recommend to anyone wanting to jam out!

    It’s a great product. Easy to start learning, I would consider it a good Beginner guitar controller. Although, It is difficult to get the Tilt sensor to actually sense the tilt, aside from that this guitar is great.

    Great quality guitar! Works better than the OG guitar hero ones. I’ve been having a blast with it in Fortnite Festival. Have not tried Rockband yet, but I’m sure it’ll work fine in it. I’ve used it a lot, and never had to charge the thing. Not even sure how, there’s prob a usb c port somewhere on it but I’ll figure it out. Battery life is great!

    PDP Riffmaster Review

    This was my first time buying this type of product, so I was unaware of how it should perform compared and how it should feel when using this game controller. Overall, it was fine to use to get used to, but I soon had gotten a second one, and realized the first one was detective due to the buttons being insanely hard to press in. Unfortunately I think this was just an issue with the model, so I gave it 3 out of 5 stars anyway. I ended up purchasing a third one that I have been using for over a month with no problems :) I would recommend this product if you plan on playing games that use the Guitar!
