Afterglow controller review windows 10#
So let’s take a look at what to expect from this controller once out of the box: Features: The Afterglow Prismatic Wired Controller stood out because it was one of the nicer RGB focused wired controllers I have seen on the market, PDP Gaming also do a similar controller for the Nintendo Switch, but for the Xbox One and Windows 10 PC, it just looked really smart and again, the focus on common sense features really made this controller jump out at me. When I attended the PDP Winter Showcase for their range of products, it was the wired controllers for the Xbox One that really grabbed my attention. I am taking a look at the PDP Afterglow Prismatic Wired Controller for Xbox One and Windows 10 PC.

You can see for yourself that the solder joints are well done and that the wires aren't pinched.Following our review of the excellent PDP Level 50 Wireless Headsets for both PS4 and Xbox One, it is time to take a look at something else that I feel most gamers would benefit from, the PDP range of wired controllers for Xbox One. This also helps to ensure that the quality is high. With the transparent plastic used for the case of the controller, the circuit boards and hardware components are on display for anyone to see. Well, the Select and Start buttons may be a bit pinkish on the red version, but the circuit boards are a nice red color.Īnyone interested in electronics and videogame controller hardware is likely to find the Afterglow AP.2 especially interesting. Not only are there bright LEDs of either red, green or blue (depending on model), but the circuit boards and the Select and Start buttons are color-coded to match. The unit shown in the product image is the blue version, which, as you can see, has a "cool" look to it when lit. The unit I received for review was red and, well, looked spicy when lit. Part of what gives the Afterglow AP.2 its style is, obviously, its illumination. This is reported to provide up to 15 hours of play, but you probably shouldn't be playing 15 hours at a time, anyway. Powering the untethered AP.2 is a 800 mAh (milliamp hour) non-removable internal Lithium polymer battery.
In addition, however, around the front of the controller (where the cord would be on a wired controller), there is a Mini-USB connector, for using the included charging cable to charge the AP.2 and a sync button which pairs the controller up to the included USB dongle.

With the exception of the Left Analog Stick and the D-pad being in swapped positions (as compared to the OEM PS3 controllers), everything else is pretty much what you expect, where you expect to see it, including the Select and Start buttons, the Home button, the Action buttons and the shoulder buttons. The shoulder buttons have a nice, stiff spring return and the (L2) and (R2) shoulder buttons are longer than OEM and curve outward, helping to eliminate the possibility of your fingers slipping off of them. The button response is tight, and the analog sticks feel right.
