PowerA FUSION Pro 2 Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, gamepad, video game controller, works with Xbox One

I bought this controller on June 1st of 2022. 3 years later and the ONLY issues I've encountered is the joysticks falling apart(still usable) and RB is starting to stop working. Otherwise? 10/10 controller. Unfortunately having to buy a new one, but if you want a controller? DEFINITELY buy this one. I absolutely love it, and it's lasted me 3 years alone

This controller is amazing! I got it on sale, and was skeptical about how long the battery would hold its charge for before I needed to recharge it. Well, I am able to game on my XBS for several days of active gaming and even after a month, it will remain charged. I like being able to take it apart and when I want to take it with me because it fits better in my backpack when I make make it smaller. At home I use it as a full size controller and benefit from the back buttons. I am happy to say that the huge amount of play time between charges is accurate and powerA impressed me yet again with their well made controller.

The media could not be loaded. The buttons are a little more clicky compared to regular Xbox controller but they don’t feel cheap.The triggers are adjustable which is kinda nice and they’re a little more springy than the regular Xbox controllers but the adjustments can turn them into more like bumpers if that’s your thing.The light display on the controller is a nice added touch that makes it feel more premium without the premium price tag.Where this controller excels is how it feels more responsive than a regular Xbox controller.I’m not a fan of wireless controllers because wired does have a slight advantage and I hate changing batteries.This controller does come with a pretty long wire though too.And to those of you who think the controller having a micro usb instead of a usb c is dumb understand that controller tech doesn’t NEED usb c to work properly and you probably already have a bunch of micro usbs laying around if you happen to lose this one but this one is really nice because not only does it click into the controller really nicely but it also has a little detachable piece so you can unplug the controller without having the remove the usb from the console which w could be even nicer for people who like to have their controller plugged into the back of the console instead of the front.Overall fantastic controller for the price.My only gripe would be that it can show a little fingerprint grease on the soft front material. Other than that it’s perfect.

First off, the reason why this is a four star review is because as a new owner of this controller, I cannot accurately speak as to its durability. If I can remember, and nothing that doesn’t have to with this controller falling outside of the reasonable expectations of quality doesn’t hamper my ability to use it for a full year, than I will return and edit my review. With that out of the way, this controller is great. Some reviews have stated it to be “bulky” but I have larger than average hands so that actually works to its advantage for me. On top of that, that added padding on the back and the front of one of the included faceplates adds to the grip of the controller in the best way. I’ve always disliked the smooth and slick feeling a lot of modern controllers have. Coupled with my natural clumsiness, it adds a sense of risk whenever I use them that I don’t like. Not a problem with this one. Sweaty or tired hands, I can still play for hours and feel relaxed and assured because of the added grip. The buttons all feel crisp and responsive, as do the joysticks, both tall and short. As for the added bells and whistles, the trigger locks are nice and I do like to use them(when a game allows me to, which isn’t always). The back paddles are nice, easy to program and simple to use, even though I don’t really use them that much. All in all, a very nice controller and well worth the price as long as your ok with a wired setup. Durability is my only current concern, but if this one lasts me as long as the Fusion Pro 1 did(about three years, before any problems at all) the I will be happy to come back in around a year and bump this review up to five stars.
