What a beauty of a controller, especially for the price. It comes with switchable and customizable joysticks, a volume control dial, trigger stops, and excellent software all for the great price of $80. My only gripe would be that the trigger stops do end up getting deeper the more you use them, and in my case since I play a lot of fps games the right trigger is somewhat deep even on the clickiest setting. Either way, this is an overall awesome controller and is still kicking 2 years later with no drift.

The quality of this controller feels very good! Remapping the back buttons is super easy and you can do it on the fly. Love the additional thumbstick options. I have been using it now for a few weeks and don't have any complaints!

First one I got was faulty and had a super sensitive trigger that would cause action in the game even when I didn’t press it down. Decided to try another and it’s been awesome. Definitely liking the buttons and triggers locks on the back. I’ve been using an Elite controller for years so it took just a little bit of getting used to but I love the responsiveness of it being wired. Can definitely tell a difference. So far no stick drift either after a few weeks of heavy use. Haven’t tried switching out the thumb sticks but that’s a cool feature. Definitely recommend this controller as it has a ton of features and is half the price of the Elite.

Even though when i ordered it online and did not receive it, i ended up actually going to the store and getting it.Its an excellent choice.especially with the pricing on it not being so high for a great quality controller, its really good.I highly do recommend this controller as it has remapping for 4 buttons,trigger stoppers that dont get lose easily and no matter how much u game, there will be no severe stick drift.

Has worked perfectly as a gamepad for PC, the re-bindable buttons on the back are slightly niche but I have found use for them in a couple of games. The trigger settings hold up well, as after almost a year of constant swapping they hold up perfectly. I still have no stick drift, and no bad buttons, and can happily recommend this controller.

Great wired controller. Wired means no lag. Works with my gaming PC. Volume starts at same level when turning the PC on. The buttonson the back can be programmed to already existing functions.
Games like cod have various preset controller settings which change the button functions but you cannot customize this controller to whatever you want. Buttons in the back just clone the functions basically.
I have mine for ping, jump, slide, sprint. Keeping my fingers on the toggles at all times.

Haven't had it for very long but quality seems hood for the price, the back paddles have good tension and the controller isn't particularly heavy. Do note that it is a wiree controller, just in case that isn't your thing. My history before this is like 80 elites and a scuff.

Had it for a couple months so far. Every other lower end Power A controller I've had always develops stick drift. Ive even claimed warranty on one and got sent another with bad stick drift right out of the box. This so far seems to be pretty good, with no noticeable stick drift. Not sure if they use better parts or not, but the controller feels about the same as the rest. I do like it so far and as of right now have no complaints. It comes with a magnetic front cover that comes off easily to replace the sticks with the extra taller ones in the box, super easy. I hope it remains in good condition. I dont use auto tac sprint on COD so I'm generally pretty hard on the sticks. I do wish with the locking triggers that the pull could be a little shorter. Its shorter than your average controller, but its still a pull, and definitely not "mouse click" in any way. It does help though.

This is a great controller. Takes a little bit of getting used to having just buttons on the back. But then it becomes second nature. Have had it for over a year now. No stick drift. No issues whatsoever. Comes with longer joysticks that are easy to change, a removable faceplate (to change the sticks or to buy different ones), and a removable wired connection. The wire itself is no big deal to me. I never have to charge it lol. All in all, the controller is awesome.

Best wired controller there is in my opinion I’ve gone through countless controllers anywhere from the standard microsoft controller to scuf down to most terribly built Elite controller. Power A has yet to fail me it is reliable, buttons are always crisp, trigger locks are great especially with the mappable buttons, some might complain that the controller doesnt feel quality made, i beg to differ. I know a lot of people don’t like wired controllers, again i do, if people wanna spend extra money on batteries or battery packs, news flash wireds the way to go and for the price in all honesty you cant beat it.

Bought this to replace its older brother the PowerA 2 and they did amazing with it! The triggers for the older one were awesome except for where they attached, it was metal paddles on a plastic pivot point. That being said after a year and a half it wore out. With this controller they did away with the wearable parts and now has buttons in place that feel just as good. If you were like me and had the two face plates from the previous controller, I would gladly like to let you know that you can use those with the new controller! Also the previous controller had a two piece cable that, in theory was great but just the slightest tug and it split. With the this controller the cord is all one piece, which in my opinion is just way simpler and better! All in all if you are familiar with these controller I would absolutely recommend buying this one for your next choice!

I preferred the metal paddles instead of the built in plastic ones but this is still a very reliable controller! Stick drift typically only happens after a couple of years. Definitely recommend.
