The long battery life and simple connectivity are also appreciated. However, some customers have expressed concerns regarding the quality of the buttons and strum bar, as well as the reliability of the tilt sensor and the overall price.

    Honestly the charge on this lasts. The quality of the buttons make playing fast songs easy, and it’s good that it has other buttons, so if you “tap” it can make it easier and enjoyable! I play guitar myself and I think it’s well built.

    If you plan on getting this for pc, there’s a few apps you have to download to get it working right, aside from that it’s pretty close to how the rockband guitars were, 10/10 in my opinion.

    I impulsively bought this and didn’t know how to use it. I tried using it in Fortnite Festival and it works really well. It's like you're playing Guitar Hero. (LOL basically) It is for sure recommended on those people who want to learn how to play rhythm games using Riffmaster guitar!

    If you’re worried about disturbing your housemates, this guitar is perfect; very quiet. I was using a super old guitar for my Wii before this, and I instantly felt like a better player when I started using this one.

    It holds very well. The way the strap can re-adjust and sit across your back/shoulders makes you feel in control, and that it wont just fall at any given time. Also the buttons are larger and press easier than the older controllers for the 360 and Wii. It does take time to get used to the buttons if you are switching from a different guitar but it's definitely worth the purchase.

    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

    Great Hardware, Mystery Connectivity Issues

    This item was returned. I owned the guitar for about 2 days. The fret buttons felt great, with clean travel, and a quiet actuator. If it weren't for the creaks of new plastic, and my method of playing, it would be a near silent controller, which is nice for playing at night. Same to the strum bar, a great piece of hardware overall. I returned this item though because it stopped working on my laptop. I couldn't verify if it's because of a problem with the dongle, the guitar, or my laptop, all I can say is that other guitar controllers worked without a problem on this laptop. Being that this guitar was well over $100, I didn't think it'd be wise to keep it when I can just buy a second hand guitar that works just fine for $40.
