How customer reviews and ratings work

Customer Reviews, including Product Star Ratings, help customers to learn more about the product and decide whether it is the right product for them.

To calculate the overall star rating and percentage breakdown by star, we don’t use a simple average. Instead, our system considers things like how recent a review is and if the reviewer bought the item on Amazon. It also analyses reviews to verify trustworthiness.

5.0 out of 5 starsAwesome
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 18 April 2021
I can't work out how Power A are offering such a premium product for such a low price. I bought the Spectra Infinity Enhanced. It's beautiful. It feels heavy and well made. The matte material on the face is very nice and smooth. The buttons all feel well made and robust, with the triggers having a nicely sprung action, and the sticks feel very nice too. The 2 programmable buttons are essential if you want to avoid stick drift. Bind the RS and LS to those buttons, and you won't get stick drift. Then there are two 3-way switches, one for each trigger, that sets how far the triggers can be pressed. Not something I will use, but I can see that being useful to people with limited mobility in their fingers. Lastly, the RGB lighting is pretty good. You have 4 zones you can customize but not as much as I would've liked. Basic colour changes, and breathing or solid. It still looks nicer than any other joypad, and it feels as well made as an official joypad. So, the question remains; if Power A can make a joypad like this for this price, why are official joypads so expensive?

2.0 out of 5 starsStar gazing drift leaving it unusable
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2020
Better than the previous Xbox One controllers by Power A. This feels sturdier, heavier, more reactive, and the connection is fantastic. For the price it's really good, but I hope unlike the Xbox One controllers I've had this is longer lasting and won't break after a couple months.
Edit:
I stand mistaken. Power A. You've let me down again. The design is absolutely beautiful, but within weeks the dift begins and from there it only gets worse. To anyone considering a controller long term. Don't buy these. I've had two, and both suffered with sky gazing within a month or a couple of using

3.0 out of 5 stars Possibly a faulty one but 2 main issues
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2021
Colour Name: RosaVerified Purchase
I initially liked this controller but as soon as I started playing I knew it wouldn’t work for me. Their were two main issues, the first was the triggers were strangely noisy. Every time I pressed one down it made a plasticky click noise and in the gam I play you have to switch between RT and RB quickly and it made so much noise. The second issue was when I connected my headset to the Jack port it made a weird interference noise though the speakers. I thought it was the headset but as soon as I plug the headset into a different controller the noise stopped. So it is definitely the Jack port on the controller. I might have been unlucky and got a faulty one. There wasn’t any lag and otherwise it worked fine.

1.0 out of 5 stars Poor stick response and intermittently stops working
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 December 2020
Colour Name: RosaVerified Purchase
Pros: Potentially the only pink controller available for the Series X, responsive controller buttons, a very long connection cable and nice packaging.

Cons: poor stick response compared to an official Series X controller, cheap/light feeling sticks compared to the the official Series X controller, a light in the centre of the controller now fairly regularly flashes white for a few seconds making the controller completely unresponsive during this time.

Initially we experienced an acceptable performance for the price but with the recent appearance of response problems, the controller is now unenjoyable to use and is in the process of being returned. I’ve given a 1 star review due this fault but would have otherwise given 3 stars.

2.0 out of 5 stars A fantastic controller...for a few weeks
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 April 2021
Colour Name: RosaVerified Purchase
Like most people I resent the pricing structure Microsoft use for their peripherals, and simply cannot justify spending £50+ on a controller. In the past I have bought 1st party controllers and after ~6 months of light use had issues with the input response, charging port connectivity, etc. and so I wasn't keen on buying another one, when cheaper, well reviewed alternate options are on the market.

So I'll admit, I expected this to be a cheap 'knock off' brand and anticipated a low quality, unreliable product.

Actually, I was pleasantly surprised that this controller worked brilliantly, felt sturdy and light, was responsive and precise...for the first few weeks - oddly enough, just past the return window!

It doesn't take long for the most immense, unusable, blatant stick drift to take hold. It starts small, you'll notice the stick occasionally pulls upwards when adjusting the horizontal position, and could easily mistake it for your own lazy input, but eventually it becomes a constant. Any movement is met with the input dragging upwards, and any kind of precision gameplay becomes impossible.

Buy cheap, buy twice - unfortunately I feel like I have no choice but to fork out £50/60 for the MS official controller, and I would advise anyone considering buying this, to rethink their decision - the saving is not worth the hassle and unreliability of such a poor product.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 20 June 2021
Colour Name: SpectraVerified Purchase
The controller is perfect in every way. It has a good weight to it, not too heavy and not too light. Perfect back buttons position which are very easy to map. Trigger stops works well and are great for shooting games. The cable has plenty of length and is braided with a quick release added on to it. The colours are lovely with a lot of combinations to choose from. Gets a thumbs up from me.

3.0 out of 5 stars Stopped working almost instantly (Replaced and seems ok)
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 February 2021
Colour Name: RosaVerified Purchase
Bought this as a present, it was connected to an xbox one, worked for about an hour then died.

Will not turn on now, cannot try an alternative cable due to the design, tried the cable with another controller and working fine - therefore the actual controller is the issue.

Must be either very poor quality or faulty. A replacement will be requried to test.

NOT HAPPY.

Edit: Replacement controller seems to be working ok. Will have to monitor it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great third party controller, love it. Furious with Amazon though.....
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 August 2021
Colour Name: verblassenVerified Purchase
See headline.

Fabulous third party cabled controller, really good and I like it loads, cabled connection has always been the best method.

Fuming with Amazon though, price dropped £9 just 3 days after I purchased this and I don't have money to just throw away, this has happened several times with things I've bought so I'm always feeling like I've overpaid.

Cancelling prime membership..... Fed up with it now it doesn't benefit me enough anymore.

Controller is excellent no complaints about the product at all.

5.0 out of 5 stars Please listen. Honestly 100/10. The controls are smooth, hands down best controller I’ve ever bought

 I love it. Best controller I’ve ever bought. Controls are so smooth, the sticks never get stuck or stiff, the button design is so convenient, and the ability to control the sensitivity of the triggers is perfect for quick tapping. Also the LED functions are phenomenal, having the ability to change three different parts into over 40 different colours just shows the versatility and the combinations are endless. I can’t recommend this controller enough.

5.0 out of 5 stars My new favourite controller
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 23 June 2021
Colour Name: Fusion 2Verified Purchase
Amazing for the price. Easily as good as the elite series 2, but with the extra benefit of a share button, volume & mute button and the ability to map the paddles on the fly without opening an app or using software.
Only downside is that it’s wired as Xbox don’t allow wireless from third party controllers. However not having to worry about swapping or charging batteries is quite refreshing. Some say there’s no input lag and faster response from wired controllers but I can’t see the difference to be fair.
Having used both of Microsoft’s elite and elite series 2 controllers and having them both break just after their 3 month warranty, I’m a massive fan of the 2 year warranty on this product.
