    The PDP RIFFMASTER Wireless Guitar is a fantastic controller that delivers on both performance and compatibility. It feels solid, responsive, and works great right out of the box. Integration with PC is seamless, making it perfect for rhythm games like Clone Hero. Overall, a must-have for any serious guitar game fan—9.5/10.

    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.

    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!

    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.

    Ever sinc wi started to see more and kore about Clone Hero and Fortnite Festival, I wanted to play. The Xbox version works on PC. Once everything was set up, holding the Xbox button turns on the guitar and then i paired to my PC. Like some others, getting Clone Hero to work was a tad challenging, until i came across this video...https://youtube.com/shorts/CgrPUGMW8kk?si=E-MTvmS_0gXV88FV. Short, sweet, and tot he point. All works.

    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

    So glad I bought this. Works great with my copy of Rockband and I was also able to use it with a PC game called Clone Hero. Took a bit of extra setup for the Clone Hero game, but worked like a full AAA game.

    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!

    So glad I got this, I would rather use the Guitar Hero buttons but that is purely preference. Main reason for 4 stars is just the placement of the pause, capture buttons. It's minimal and rarely notice it but sometimes it will catch you and possibly ruin a streak. Otherwise, great guitar.

    The shape of the guitar is a little rough. The neck shape and material is a rather harsh plastic, so certain grips can be uncomfortable. It works pretty well, though I think the squishy strum bar could be much better (back-and-forth strumming seems a little off). I would have liked the buttons (like Star Power) to have been spaced or shaped differently so they stand out more clearly. I would have also liked if the frets depressed just a LITTLE less. They bottom out too low for my liking, as transitioning between them occasionally gets hindered by the solid sections of the neck between the frets. It's overall a decent enough guitar. Given the lack of market competition (or new rhythm games to support it), it does the job well enough. It's on the high side for the price (it's more than game+guitar bundles cost in the 360 era), but that's kind of the state of the music game genre.

    Works right out of the box for rock band 4 and Fortnite festival on Xbox as well as for Fortnite festival on PC. However if you buy this to play clone hero you will need to instal VigEm Bus and RB4 instrument mapper on your PC.

    Great alternative to the over priced rock band 4 guitars and works just as well and looks so much cooler. Just wish i purchased this guitar first before i had bought the rock band 4 guitar for $500.
