![]() However, I would have preferred to be able to remove the back paddles for single-player games that required me to be stealthy at times. “When considering the $63.00 cost, the Afterglow Wave Controller seems like a no-brainer choice for any gamer looking to spice up their controller game…” The two backpaddles felt more useful to me than the four found on other Xbox controllers like the Microsoft Xbox Elite Wireless Controller Series 2, but it also depends on what game you are playing. Where the Victrix Gambit Dual Core Tournament Controller had a lot of customizable buttons to do more different things depending on the task or game, the PDP Black Afterglow Wave Controller had all the essential buttons for the everyday gamer. I felt like there was no sacrifice in audio quality or functionality in comparison to other Xbox controllers. Overall, the audio experience performed as well as most modern controllers, being that it got the job done within its parameters. Some quick audio features can be used with the one button, such as volume changing, game-chat balance and mic mute. The controller included a simple mute/unmute button on the controller, along with an AUX port to plug in my headphones. I found they were a tad bit too stiff with quick jerks in faster-paced games like Apex Legends or Overwatch 2-even after some tinkering in the PDP Control Hub. The feeling of the controller felt like any other well-crafted Xbox controller, but the thumbsticks stood out the most to me. The laser-etched texture on grips, thumbsticks and triggers added some nice extra grip to hold. The controller was available in a base black (the colour I used) or white colour. “The PDP Black Afterglow Wave Controller featured eight customizable RGB zones that immediately lit up vividly, once I plugged it into my PC.”Īs for the design, the colourful, glowing waves were stellar. Some additional inclusions that came with the PDP Black Afterglow Wave Controller for Xbox Series X|S and PC were its free 1-month subscription of Xbox Gamepass, and it included a two-year limited warranty. This meant it was performance-tested and checked by Xbox to match its high-quality standards. To add some credibility to the controller, it has been officially licensed by Xbox as well. One suggestion would be to add an attached zip-tie-esque thing to hold the excess cord when the distance is not too long because then it looked like a tangled mess. The braided material cord can always be appreciated, offering minimal chances of tearing. I thought this versatility and attention to distance between the console or system of use was much appreciated. Out of the box, the PDP Black Afterglow Wave Controller came with the controller itself, and an 8-foot detachable, braided USB-C cable that offered a lot of space to play with-whether I was on my Xbox One, PC or laptop.
