PowerA - FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for Xbox Series X|S with Lumectra - Black

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used this controller for a week on multiple games to get the best general feeling. It's still taking me a little bit of time to get used to the buttons on the back. I stuck with copying ABXY to the four back buttons as I found that to be the most applicable in most games. About the controller itself, the trigger adjustments felt great in fps games and I immediately felt a difference in spamming the right trigger. The adjustable joystick's three different heights are really just convenient, the middle adjustment is barely taller than the lowest joystick level. The tall right stick height felt very comfortable paired with the mid-height left joystick. The LED lights are easily the coolest part of the controller, even after a week I'm finding new ways to customize the different light variations and colors. It's handy that you can turn the brightness down as well for all color modes. I have different variations of light settings to the different games I played and I absolutely love it. For fps games like Halo Infinite, Destiny 2, or Cyberpunk I'm starting to feel better with my overall movement. Having bound B (typically crouch/slide) and A (jumping) to the top back buttons it was easier for me to control my aim while maximizing my moment. Of course as I keep saying, it's still taking time to fully adjust to the new buttons. But when I can subconsciously remember the right buttons to press I feel an improvement in my performance, especially in XDefiant For games like Baldurs Gate 3 (or even Skyrim) the trigger/joystick adjusters and back buttons weren't necessarily useful, but of course I stuck with the simple ABXY so maybe there are still ways to optimize the back button at the very least. Of course, having the controller LED settings match the theme of my Ice Wizard was pretty cool. For something like Chivalry 2 on the other hand, that's when I change the back buttons setup. I replaced my B button for LB (overheads) and that nearly instantly assisted me with perfect parrying and double feinting my overheads, when usually it felt uncomfortable in my hand to react to overhead feints. But like bg3 the trigger adjustments simply felt nicer, but had no impact on gameplay. Overall it's a great controller with the only notable downside being that the bottom two back buttons are a little awkward to press, which is why the second version of the pro/elite controllers have back paddles to allow an easier time pressing the back buttons. But the more you use it the easier it'll feel. It feels great, has dazzling light effects even while charging, and is already helping me get just a little better in both casual games and more so in competitive games.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] What an awesome controler. When i first opened the box I was bummed. Thought I got the wrong one. Until I powered it on. The lighting affects are kinda awesome. My daughter is going to absolutely love this. The colors are so vibrant. After a short charge (yay it's wireless, no more dad I need batteries texts) The controler immediately connected to the Xbox. I did not need to do anything special or go through any extra steps to get it to connect. Feels great in your hands. Solid connections with all the buttons and very high quality feeling in your hands. I played a couple games and tested the functions. Everything works great. This comes with a very nice hard sided case to protect it, as well as a wired charger/stand so you can say goodbye to batteries. Absolutely a must buy for a gamer. It has some more advanced gaming buttons (trigger locks, hall sensors etc)that are beyond me, but my daughter knows how they all work.
