GamesRadar+ Verdict

There are two types of modern gaming hardware.

The stuff that’s riddled with RGB lighting, and the minority of tech that isn’t.

Oh, how wrong I was.

Even putting PowerA’s stunning ghost RGB lighting to one side, this is a truly excellent controller.

If anyone has read any of my previous reviews they will know Im not the biggest fan of RGB.

I thought to myself.

How wrong I was.

On paper, the PowerA Fusion Pro Wireless controller is seriously not my cup of tea.

I may now be an RG-Believer.

This can also be done via the Xbox PowerA app which gives you full control over the color choices.

Having never used a controller with this feature before I really liked the ease of access to this.

Alongside the RGB, the other key selling point of this gamepad is the wireless aspect.

But I also had serious reservations.

I really mean it.

Another aspect that I thoroughly enjoyed was the hall-effect thumbsticks.

This would extend to some games, most noticeably in Black Ops 6 and Star Wars Outlaws.

It happened very rarely and only really when I would enter the game from Xboxs built-in quick resume feature.
