If you’re a fan of RGB lighting, you gotta know about the Lumectra version.
The PowerA Advantage Controller is an update to the brand’s very popular Enhanced Controller.
At $39.99 / 39.99, it’s up against the likes of GameSir’s budget controllers.
For your money there, you do get a nice strip of RGB included though.
This gamepad sports four lighting zones and three inner nodes to offer even more personality.
The face buttons are nice and large, and the overall shape is very similar.
These are placed perfectly, and they complement the product’s robust feel.
The back of the grips has a crossed texture that I really like.
While the approach theTurtle Beach Stealth Ultratook feels nice, it doesn’t help much in terms of grip.
Overall, I’d say the build quality here is great.
The controller feels so robust and way more sturdy than the majority of gamepads of this price.
In the box, you’ll find an included 3m USB to USB-C cable as well.
Performance
I’m a big fan of the PowerA Advantage Controller.
Not only that, it’s stunning thanks to that integrated lighting.
On the whole, the thumbsticks feel quite narrow, and a bit shorter than most pro controllers.
This is something theVictrix Pro BFGgets so right.
If you’re looking for a pro controller with looser tension, check out theNacon Revolution 5 Pro.
In that time, it served me well as my controller for all PC and Xbox gaming.
I closely compared my time with it to using GameSir’s controllers which offer similar prices and features.
I also compared it with other gamepads I’ve tested and reviewed across multiple platforms.
