Review on ๐ŸŽฎ PowerA FUSION Pro Black Wired Controller for Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S - Gamepad, Wired Video Game Controller, Gaming Controller by Dave Butler

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Fragile position holding 4 toggle switches

Works well, used in Win 10 Pro with GTA V for about 3 months. Only twice have I found it to disconnect from windows when I try to use it. Simple fix, unplug it from PC and plug it back in as Windows and GTA V game didn't care. no crashes, the game continues as if nothing happened. It never turned off during actual use. The worst thing about this expensive controller is the rear paddle buttons. Position at least 5 times, folding flush with the back of the controller past the soft plastic tabs that should hold the toggle switches in place. They can be reinserted and left in place (there are magnets to help hold the 4 toggle switches in place as they are metal toggle switches) but they can easily be moved to where you need them get stuck and are useless until you don't put them back. It's not gravity that makes them emerge. It also has nothing to do with their use. If you use them for their intended purpose. Click this button. Picking up from the surface I paid for the gamepad when not in use, tug it around on the surface a bit when I pick it up to use the gamepad, if the lever catches on something it can pop out. The level starts it all and it's easy, too easy to poop in my opinion. It's too easy to lay it on the carpet and then snap the lever and pop out. If not accidentally pulled out, the gamepad and the additional 4 lever buttons will work properly. no anomalies. , no reaction delay, no drift, everything reacts correctly. These additional layer buttons can only mimic existing buttons. You don't get 4 extra buttons. Just 4 more buttons that you can copy from other existing button functions. For example the Rutter control for airplanes. You don't need to use an additional set of keys. It's not mandatory. It's also easy to mimic other buttons, this is all done within the controller itself and not via software. For $80 it's too $$$. Because those level button positions wear out every time the levers fray over that soft plastic. I see no point in buying it for $80. From 55 to 60 dollars. , good joysticks, don't feel weak like the original xbox1 MS gamepad, good d-pad, good top and side buttons, also no drift problems. Just be careful when you put it down and when you pick it up to use.
