PowerA has given us the opportunity to test this peripheral designed especially for Xbox Series consoles with the “Designed for Xbox” seal.
These days I have had the opportunity to play many hours with a new controller that has come, never better said, to my hands. Its about PowerA Advantage Wired Controller and to begin with, say that it is a command designed under the seal “Designed for Xbox” This means that Microsoft has worked closely with the manufacturer of the product to test its quality, performance, and security across all platforms and experiences. hardware of Xbox.
With this we already have a first approximation to what we are going to have in hand. It is not a compatible command that will give us more headaches than joy, quite the opposite. Although the packaging is not very stylish, what we find inside is something amazing.
To start with your goodnessThe first thing to say is that it disappoints from the outset. And this is because aesthetically the controller seems dark, dull and not shiny at all. However, when the light hits it, all those wonderful “Sparkle” colors appear that it has. The light makes it look like we have a Galaxy whole condensed in front of our command. So aesthetically we can say that it is very original and attracts a lot of attention.
Light as a feather, hard as a diamond
Another thing that I really liked about this PowerA Advantage Wired Controller is his weight. Being a control or controller without a battery, the weight of the controller looks incredibly tight. To this is added that it does not have a Wireless module, something that contributes to its adjusted weight. In fact, its lightness can lead one to think that we are dealing with a poor quality product, but nothing could be further from the truth, it is a robust controller that after more than 80 hours of play does not have a single sign of use.
Over the joysticks we can say that they are exactly the same in touch and hardness as those of an official Xbox controller. They look resident and transmit the same sensations as the original remote control of the Series X that I have at home The button panel is another point in which we will not have adaptation difficulties since they are also the same as those of the original remote.
The main aesthetic difference PowerA Advantage Wired Controller we have it in the central part. The Xbox button and logo is smaller and looks like an embedded hemisphere. Something that does not seem useful at first glance, as the hours go by it is a joy to find the button Xbox without looking at the command thanks to this very particular shape that contrasts with the original design.
Standard design”
Lastly, the 3 central buttons, with the same layout as the Series X, with a share button in the center and on the sides and a little higher up the “start” and the “select” of a lifetime. These two buttons have a small problem and that is that they do not have the symbol painted but marked in a low relief that makes it very difficult to see their function if you do not know it by heart. The RB and RL buttons have the same layout, although somewhat straighter compared to the reference model.
but where is PowerA Advantage Wired Controller It begins to give us a plus with respect to the rest, it is in its rear part. to start the triggers son graduables in the style of the Xbox elite pro controllers. This means that in some shooters this is appreciated, being able to shorten the route to be faster in the pulsations.
In addition to this, the PowerA Advantage Wired Controller has two back buttons also in the style of command Elite Pro, which are configurable from the control itself, without the need to enter the Xbox or PC settings. We have a central rear button that serves as a “programmer”, if it is left pressed for a few seconds we can “mappearlos” and make them work as we want.
Highly customizable Elite PRO style
The two rear buttons are large, but they don’t get in the way if you don’t use them and it has a very peculiar touch that is quickly identifiable. In addition to having a different color, something that, however, will not help us in the action. Lastly, the PowerA Advantage Wired Controller It has a dock to plug our headphones in Jack de 3,5 mm and a vibration that is not out of tune at all with what official controls have accustomed us to.
One of the weak points for many could be that it is a controller that is connected by cable. In the box we will have a 10 foot cord, about 3 meters, which will allow us to connect it to any device no matter how far it is. The connector is USB type C so we can use any compatible cable. On the other hand, something that has caught my attention is the great difference between input lag that has this little treasure of command. Being wired, the input lag is minimal and the gaming experience is much more enjoyable in some games and more effective than with the original controls in terms of action / reaction.
IN CONCLUSION
He PowerA Advantage Wired Controller It is a command that a priori could seem flimsy and “compatible”, but that has all the benefits of a control certificate by Xbox. It is a very command aesthetically beautiful which may seem fragile due to its tremendous lightness but which has shown during the long hours that we have used it that we are dealing with a high quality product. Their configurable buttonsits familiar design, the adjustable triggers And above all, the low input lag as it is a wired controller makes it ideal for those looking for a controller with features halfway between an original Series X|S controller and an Elite Pro, but at a very competitive price. For those who play on PC, it seems to me a better option than an already smaller official controller precio. the truth that this PowerA Advantage Wired Controller has become one of my fixed either on PC or Series X.
