The software allows you to customise the button layout, set the vibration strength and configure audio settings. You can further customise this controller thanks to the useful PDP Control Hub software that’s available on both Xbox One and PC. This has actually proven to be quite useful in-game. Simply press the small button situated just below the right thumb-stick and toggle the options on the D-pad. One feature that stands out on this controller is its built-in 3.5mm audio jack and associated custom controls, which allow you to adjust your mic and game audio easily. Feedback from the triggers feels great, while the grips on the thumb sticks feel good for a budget controller. My only criticism is that the analogue sticks don’t have as much rolling resistance as they do on the official Xbox One controller, but in fairness this doesn’t impact the controller’s accuracy as much as I’d have thought. It feels comfortable in-hand, and its performance while gaming is as good as you’d expect. I was hoping for at least one LED to make the aesthetic even cooler – but alas, that’s reserved for PDP’s Afterglow model. The crimson-red model I tested features a cool-looking see-through shell on top, and a black underside. And on that note: yes, this controller supports Windows too. You’ll be happy to discover that you can use any micro-USB cable, just in case you misplace it, or if you’d prefer something shorter because you’re gaming on a desktop PC, for example.
It has a 2.5m detachable micro-USB cable, which is good for most gaming setups. The PDP wired controller is a pretty good alternative to the original from Microsoft (and costs almost half the price), but how does it fair on the battlefield?įirst up, as a wired controller it feels quite a bit lighter than its battery-wielding brethren.
Opting for a cheaper third-party controller is often the route most cash-strapped gamers take, but that doesn’t mean your buck should deliver any less bang.
