The large Xbox button which dominates the centre of the controller is also raised higher than standard and whilst this doesn’t do the cosmetics any favours, is actually a more preferably way of running, with a greater feel of control whenever you’re fumbling around in the dark for the big hitter.Īlthough if I’m honest, fumbling around should be something you never need to do as the Afterglow Prismatic controller can, if required, brighten up even the darkest of rooms. They are certainly not bad, but I’d have preferred to have a bit more grip included. Unfortunately the textured outer feel of the official sticks is missing and this does at times mean that during the very intense moments, you may sometimes feel less confident with use. Thumbstick wise and there is a slight change to the norm with those as well with a secondary internal rim bringing about the grip. Whilst the triggers feel exactly the same to use, the bumpers require less force than usual and although clicking louder than you would expect, are preferable to any others that have passed through my hands. Both the bumpers and triggers are very slightly different to those which you’ll find on a standard controller with less angle and much more of a flow to the sweeping lines. The triggers and bumpers are all solidly placed and feel great to use, as do the premium analog sticks that your thumbs will be firmly attached too. In fact, you may just find yourself sitting around looking for those opportune moments just so you can watch them spin wildly. These include the dual rumble motors and impulse triggers and it’s initially a bit of a delight to watch them whir into action with every explosions, tire screech or beat of your characters heart.
Instead, the polycarbonate casing is smooth and crystal clear, allowing you to see each and every one of the many moving parts that are housed inside.
Smoother to the touch than a standard controller, there is none of the new fangled textured grip on the back which seem to be a bit of a big deal in Xbox One circles at the moment. That’s what I’m here for and that’s what I’m meant to be chatting about. Have I told you how good it is? Well, it damn well is. Unseen to those who pass.Īnyways, I digress. Do I want to be glowing up like a beacon whilst I do so? No, I want to be sitting in a dark corner. Admittedly, spending time in the dark with a set of cans on oblivious to the outside world may seem like a strange way to pass the time, but hey, it’s what I enjoy and it’s my way of getting away from it all. I want to use muscle memory to remember exactly which button to hit at what time and moving buttons around, giving them different actions for the sake of it isn’t something I need.Īnd then we get on to the bright lights. Granted, the Xbox One Elite controller is a thing of pure beauty (albeit a heavy unbalanced piece of beauty), but it’s not something I need. Similarly, customising isn’t something that is needed in my life. Give me a wireless controller any day of the week and as long as I’ve got a charging dock nearby, then I will quite happily game for hours on end. The kids get tangled up in the wires, the dog chews on them and at some point in time someone will yank it hard enough that the entire console which it is connected to will become dislodged, fall on the dog and make me subjected to some stupidly priced vets bill. Wired controllers are, in my opinion, a bit of a pain. Anyone who knows me will know that the least amount of wires that can present in my life, the better.
