PDP Gaming Afterglow Wave Enhanced Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11 PC, Advanced Programmable Gamepad, Customizable Lighting, Licensed by Microsoft, Companion App: Black

This is great so far, only one day in but works great and love the color and lights options for it. It hooked up no problem with the pc, and steam so we're happy. Not a bad price either for this since it's xbox certified so yes, I'd buy again if it were this price or lower. UPDATE: After initially using this for a couple weeks, it was packed away and not used again until recently. After a couple of days it started losing connection and I see many have had this problem from other reviews and think it's the cord...it looks fine and doesn't seem like any reason it would not stay connected so just a guess so far, surprised since it's hardly been used. So I'm ordering a new USB C cord and see if that works. If so, I'll keep it at the 5 stars I gave it, but if not..I'll be giving it lower stars because it's like new and no reason for it to stop connecting. My granddaughter isn't abusing it nor dropping it so it's probably like others who had this problem with the cord. If this don't work I'll be looking at other brands to buy for future gaming needs. I also own another version of these controllers glow in the dark series, and she's using that one for now although that was for my use. If it happens with that one as well, then for sure these have a wire problem and hope the company looks into that perhaps a product flaw. Other than that, my granddaughter loves these controllers and they are cute and priced nicely compared to other brands that are xbox certified.

I saw other reviews mentioning various problems they're having, so I figured I should write my positive experience. This is a review being made on the day of receiving it in 10/23; I'll update in the future if anything changes. Gonna keep it short and sweet with each point. Just got it earlier today, I ordered it to replace an old controller. The box was not damaged at all nor was the controller. Everything looked brand new, nothing sketchy to report there. I use a controller to play certain games on my PC (running Windows 10, if that matters to someone), mainly shooters, so that's what I bought this for. Worked straight out of the box once I plugged it into my computer, lights and all. I saw someone here mention that the USB C cable is "barely attached" to the controller, and it seems that the person just didn't fully push the cable in. You'll know it's fully plugged into the controller when you hear a very audible click. It is in there very securely, I think the other person just didn't know to push harder. No trigger or analog stick squeaks/noises happening for me as of now, and the back buttons are not "the loudest things on the planet" as someone said here; they sound completely normal. I personally always planned on disabling them from the get-go because I knew I'd accidentally be hitting them, but for what it's worth they were pre-mapped to two controls and they did work properly before I turned them off. I played a few hours of a game and everything worked perfectly fine and as expected. I have no plans on using the headset jack on the controller because I have a bluetooth headset for my PC, so unfortunately I can't comment on that. I can't think of anything else to say or address in regards to the other reviews. Everything works normally for now, it's a super pretty and clean-looking controller. Hope this helps 👍 Edit 10/2024: Left analog stick broke and dislodged today during a game. I'd have to order a new stick and reassemble the controller with the new analog in order for it to remain usable. Very disappointed, as I liked the look of the controller a lot. Never had a controller break like this before. Served me well over the past year.

Awesome controller! Normal rainbow mode colors are so beautiful to look at when playing. You need to download the app on your computer in order to change colors, but it is endlessly customizable for different colors and modes. Had this for about a year and no issues with stick drift or the cord that it plugs into. I prefer playing games on my PC from the couch and the cord is long enough to reach as well.

I bought two of these at the same time to replace some older janky ones that my boyfriend and I were struggling to use. When I first ordered them I definitely thought they looked cool and thought the extra back buttons may come in handy, but I knew that they may not be the greatest due to them not being official xbox brand remotes. When we got them, each came with a one month free xbox gaming pass so that was awesome. We hooked them both up and were surprised with the a-ray of color options they give you, and it's as easy as holding down a certain button at any time to quickly toggle and change the color of the remote. The colors range from bright and vibrant, to a bit darker and more subtle, and you can always adjust to a regular white glow if the colors get too overstimulating. The controller itself is comfortable to hold for long periods of time, doesn't overheat or get warm while playing for hours, the connection to the console is great and sturdy, and the cable it comes with is lengthy so you aren't limited on how close you need to be to the console. Over all a 10/10, and I'd love to get the matching light-up headset to match as soon as I can! After months of use the controllers are both working great!

I’ve been using the Afterglow Wave as my main wired controller on Series X and it’s been a pretty good experience overall. The RGB lighting is the first thing that stands out. Eight zones that look really sharp, especially the wave patterns and the glowing thumbstick rings. You can cycle through presets right on the controller or dig into the app for more detailed customization. It’s fun without being over-the-top distracting. The two back buttons are easy to reach and map, which is handy for things like jump or reload without taking your thumbs off the sticks. Audio controls on the D-pad are also convenient. Being able to tweak volume or mute the mic mid-game without pausing is a small but appreciated touch. The grips feel decent with the textured surfaces, and the cable is long enough that I’m not constantly fighting it. It’s not quite at the level of an official Xbox controller in terms of button feel and overall build quality. The face buttons and sticks are solid but a little less refined. And of course being wired means you’re always tethered. Still, for the price it offers a good mix of features and style that the basic controllers don’t have. If you want some customizable lighting and extra buttons without spending a lot, this is a strong option. Four stars.

I've had this for a decent period of time now. Long enough to realize it is definitely not perfect. 1. The back buttons are loud enough to wake people up. 2. The triggers developed a squeak. 3. Occasionally, the light configurations I create will somehow revert entirely to one color but still retain the timing/activation/effect that I had set up. 4. One of the lights refuses to show blue or purple. It will show as red. However, changing multiple areas (including this particular area) and setting them as blue or purple, will allow it to show as those colors. Weird but probably just my own experiences. 5. The USB-C cable is hardly making contact and if you attempt to adjust the cable it will sometimes disconnect and reconnect. This is very bad in my opinion and has me feeling anxious. It can disconnect in-game or worse, it can break entirely one day. 6. There's no way to choose white as a color unless you force it to, by selecting the 'wave' function and then changing each area to 'static'. Or just customize the 4th preset configuration since its all white already. 7. The joysticks creak and squeak if your making minor cameras adjustments in game for instance. At first I didn't care. But now its so very noticeable. 8. Sometimes right trigger inputs won't register, this could be an issue with just my controller in particular. Gamebreaking to say the least. 9. The headphone jack makes your wired headset sound tinny or give it a weird echo sort of sound. Like your in a sea shell. 10. I payed an additional fee for insurance on this, yet still the retail packaging on the actual controller was in bad shape. The shipping package was in perfect condition though. I guess they wanted me to have to make a return but I wanted to pit this controller to the test and see how durable it would be. It hasn't been doing too good. The awesome lights are just flames to a moth. Or at least that moths $40. One last thing is sometimes red lights will turn pink or peach colored. It usually happens if you set the particular area to light up only when the r-motor or l-motor are rumbling. Annoying.

Only time will tell how well the thumbsticks wear, but at brand new they are perfectly good; as in, calibration dialed down to the minimum centerspot supported and perfect return to that position every time even from a tiny movement. Size is excellent (I have hands a little on the small side for an adult male), and it seems like it will work for a broad range of people. Women with petite hands might find it a bit large, and for men with very large hands it will be too small. The LED color bands add a little "pizazz", which if a little corny is still cool. The underside first-finger buttons may be useful, but I haven't really tried them out; I am thinking to map them to the bumpers, which have always been a little uncomfortable on all controllers for me (little-man hands again). I like that it's fully powered by USB, which is already less hassle than replacing batteries. The main take away is that replacing an, well worn, XBox 360 controller this is a noticeable improvement. Recommended.

Since I got this controller it has had an issue with randomly disconnecting itself from my console. From day one. But now I’m about a month out from my purchase and it disconnects every time I pick it up now. Gotta jostle my cord and unplug it and replug it every time. RGB lights went out and don’t get any power anymore, don’t know what happened there, but they’ll flash like they work when I’m constantly replugging my controller nonstop; but overall they just don’t stay on or work. Super cool. Also my buttons sometimes putting phantom inputs is super annoying, like saying I hit down on my d-pad 12 times when I only pressed it once, scrolling me allllll the way down to whatever I was looking at. Does the same thing with my bumpers sometimes too, I’ll try to go over ONE tab and it’ll fly across the screen scrolling tabs fast af. And don’t even get me started with the stick drift; this controller has one of the funniest and worst stick drifts I’ve ever gotten. Sometimes the drift is on and sometimes it’s not, almost solely based off of whether or not the game has “dead zone” settings, otherwise you’re just screwed. Overall I’m severely disappointed that this controller is damn near 2x the price of a standard controller and broke in a fraction of the time. Like actually wow. Just get a cheap Walmart controller that’ll last you a year minimum or something. Cause even with the protection plan who tf wants to deal with shipping back a defective piece of trash just for them to send you more defective trash? Just stay away from this brand, I know I am now.

Sorunsuz bir şekilde elime ulaştı. Amazon a teşekkürler. Beklediğimden daha iyi çıktı. Xbox ın orjinal kolundan daha rahat çünki daha hafif tuşlar daha rahat ve analoglar çok yormuyor. Analogların ve tetik tuşlarının hassasiyeti konusunda şüpelerim vardı ama xbox ın orjinal kolu le aynı hatta bir tık daha iyi diyebilirim yani nekadar baskı uygularsan okadar hareket ediyor.

Pour PC & Console La manette est petite pour ceux qui on de grande mains vous allez avoir des crampe! Pour ce qui est de la disposition et le type de bouton ces une autre histoire. Les bouton en dessous de la manette son mal disposer. On a tendance a appuyer dessus par erreur ce qui complique les chose quand on fait des action dans certain jeux vidéo. Manque de rétro éclairage pour les touche X,Y,A,B et LB,RB,LT,RT dommage que on ne peux pas la personnaliser en changeant les touche pour du retro éclairé. Ainsi incompatible avec des kit de personnalisations. Il manque des fonctionnalité que les ancienne manette avais pour personnaliser la couleur du RGB ce que je trouve dommage si non manque quelque information dans le guide qui viens avec. Mais le design reste jolie! Je l'utilise dans le but de remplacer mon ancienne Afterglow qui malheureusement ces briser. Qui étais la version Transparente. Ca mérite amélioration. PS: Ajouter une fonction Turbo sur ces manette aussi les macro personnalisables avec l'ajustement de la sensibilité de la zone morte des analogue s.v.p! Le turbo ces une fonction que quand on appuis sur le bouton en le tenant il répète en continue la touche en boucle.
