Please note that in my experience PowerA does have excellent customer service and covers stick drift. I had a GameCube style Switch controller they made replaced within a week after I reported stick drift and they were apologetic about not being able to get it to me even faster.
I've just changed to this to elite 2 and I really regret it. Elite sticks fells so woody and not as flicky as this . Going to order this one again and ask a refund for the elite 2
@alejandroacosta4250 I bought the elite 2 once and had stickdrift already plus wasn't a good pad. One t Day by mistake they give me another one after 3 months. I give it a try again and it was even worst. I will.never buy an elite2. I've got the pro fusion 3 now and is great
This review probably swayed me more towards getting this controller. It has everything I want in a controller and has back paddles! Something I've been suffering not having since playing on a DS4 controller for over a year. And this is a cheap alternative (I'm cheap) for what I'm trying to do. Which is have back paddles and a reliable controller. The triggers aren't a huge deal for me because on the FPS games I use the bumpers. Getting all that stuff for less than 90? What a deal!
Very in-depth review, I’m on the fence. But the ability to swap out the thumb sticks, the impulse triggers, the type-C cable, plus the additional features, and accessories makes it a worthy investment.
I've owned the first version for over 2 years. I use it heavily in chunks of time depending on what I'm playing at the time. Definitely high usage recently with 200hrs plus on Halo infinite. It is still going strong. In halo my right stick dead zones are all at 0, but there is a minimal amount of stick drift on both sticks in other games. The only bit of wear on mine is a tiny bit of squeaking when I rotate the stick along the edge of the circle. It does have the same issue as this new one with trigger stops. If I put it at the smallest, when I press the trigger sometimes it doesn't register. So I don't use it at all.
Your paddles haven’t gotten loose or even started to occasionally not input when pressed? Had mine for about a year my paddle for crouching and jumping have gotten noticeably wiggly and don’t respond when pressed sometimes.
I only have the first version and see no need for an upgrade now. I use that one primarily on my PC, since I got my Elite controllers connected to my Xbox. But considering the time I used it, mine is surprisingly robust. So far no issues, while my Elite 2 already had stick drift after a few months (luckily no issues getting it replaced). The fusion still works after over a year in use. My Elite 1 has now issues with the paddles since the plastic starts to wear out, but I used that one more than the Fusion. So, the same might happen to the Fusion in the future, since the paddles also are attached to a piece of plastic. My wishlist for the Elite 3 would be: 1) Metal holdings for the paddles 2) Bring back the AA batteries, it's just way more convenient to switch out batteries and put the empty ones in a charger than having to attach the whole controller. It's also more future proof, since I can just replace the batteries once they're worn out. 3) Fix the stick drift of the Elite 2, had no issues there with my Elite 1. Or any other official Xbox controller for that matter, even my first 360 controller doesn't have huge drift. And even that is understandable, since the stick doesn't center itself due to a worn out feather. If you center it manually, it's still ok. And that one was used so much, that the rubber coating of the stick is worn off to a point where you can see the metal beneath it. So, MS obviously knows how to do it right and they jut botched the Elite 2.
The reason why PowerA can’t make wireless Xbox controllers is because Microsoft/Xbox won’t allow 3rd party companies to make wireless controllers because they want to be the only company to make wireless controllers. Idk why Microsoft is like that when it comes to 3rd party companies trying to help them out, I guess they just don’t think other companies can make good wireless controllers like they can.
...then they give the rights for wireless controllers to Scuf 🤦🏾♂️. Maybe this is how they got Scuf's better design to make for the elite series controller 🤔? Anyway, appreciate the inight!
Ive been using the Fusion 1 for just a few weeks under a year now, was considering getting the Fusion 2 because they won't get back to me about broken paddles (when pressed down the input doesn't happen) but may just try to get an extra pack for the paddles.
Hopefully they get back to you soon. did you buy directly? Maybe you can just ask for a full on exchange. There warranty should still be good for you too.
But if your in the market for a new controller I just got the victrix gambit and I love this thing ...also have a scuf prestige and the fusion 1 and the gambit is easily my new favorite...trigger stops are super super short but they don’t interfere with driving vehicles like the other two do
@@skarlxz3935 I would get the victrix...the only thing that keeps the elite 2 in these convos is that they upped the warranty to a year your 100% gonna get stick drift within a month if your a everyday gamer so just make sure you have a spare for when you have to sent it in lol
just bought the spectra infinity . wow. slightly heavy , but an excellent controller . for only £33.65 considerably less than the original 360 controller . and far superior build quality .
Could you review the Collective Minds Strike Pack? I want to get paddles and all these controllers are cool but I don't want to give up on my dope 20th anniversary controller right after I got it.
Congrats on getting one of those! You just need paddles? I might try that out as an alternative as I was curious how these might feel relative to a pro controller.
@LB Yea. I've heard the dominator is not good but the eliminator sounds great just FYI. Also, you're videos are really good, I think at some point, if you want to expand, you should consider reviewing other hardware or similar things if you're interested. These videos are great but eventually I feel like you might run out of stuff.
I just got the power a fusion yesterday I was using the wolverine V2 which cost twice as much but gave me really bad hand cramp , it's ok the triggers feel a bit light not sure how long it will last but it's alot more comfortable and has the glowing lights lol pretty cool and I put some grips on the sticks they didn't feel right without them.
Also the 3 stage trigger lock comes in handy for mw2 and driving games, the V2 just has one stage lock and shows up dirt no matter how clean your hands are
I like my fusion. Only thing that annoys me is my one paddle connection broke and it's the main one I use. So every now and then I go to push it and it pops out fully.
I only have one question if you still have the series 2 go on forza telemetry where you can see the hp torque and the %of throttle hand brake and brake set the Lt on min stand hold it and at the same time try move it left to right to see if it holds same brake % would be awesome to see if the Lt Rt got slack or not
Haven’t played forza yet but if the question is if the es2 triggers have slack, they don’t and are probably the best I’ve experienced in terms of a controller having trigger stops and hair triggers and still functioning as well at shallow levels as it would fully open levels. Scuf wasn’t to far behind here but too shallow hair triggers w any controller can be a problem. Both controller trigger stops function great!
Told you I would check it out!!! Nice vid. Also I kept getting kicked on pc for the last few days. I looked around on Reddit and it turns out ricochet will kick you if it detects 3rd party software. Ie the app for elite which mods aim. A lot of overlays for razor key board and mouse. So if anyone else is having the same problem you have to go into config and turn those files off.
elite series 2 - X Y A B need to be adjusted to be more sensitive - i don't have time to double click every button when I'm seconds from getting my ass handed to me the LB and RB sensitivity need to be decreased, i click it once but it registers as a double click - i try to swap to my shotgun and instead i get meds which is basically a death sentence while in combat
Great question! The controller itself is very responsive in my experience. I don’t have any official numbers, but as it’s wired, I’m sure it’s among the fastest (likely faster than their wireless counterparts). However, I will add there may be some perceived lag in the paddles due to their design where there is some slack/dead space between pull and actuation. This is somewhat expected with every paddle system I’ve experience, but it was more noticeable for me with this controller. Hope this helps!
A quick question : when you say "rumbles" ... Is it the 4 motors , like on the normal xbox controller or not ? In a normal controller , you have 2 motors near the wrists and 2 motors in the triggers. I'm asking this trivial question because I learned recently, that the Rzer V2 Chroma has NO trigger motors at all !! Maybe it's ok for FPS lovers, but if you play with other games (racing games...) well... no vibrations on the V2 chroma ..
Yes. That's exactly what I mean. Similar to the normal controller rumbles. And agree, I prefer to have them, but to have the ability to turn on/off when I want for those same reasons.
as someone who had a fusion 1 and had some trigger issues with the trigger stops, i can say that their customer service is great. i fell into the 2 year warranty window, and they replaced my controller with a fusion 2 in just 2 emails. if you're not trying to spend $200 on a scuf this is absolutely a worthwhile buy.
Great video. I have the original controller and the upgrade doesn’t definitely seem worth it. However, I have the hyper x cloud II and the mute button on the Xbox dashboard found in the sound menu just doesn’t work when using the controller and I’m not sure why. The cloud II do not have a way to mute themselves either other than removing the mic which is a bit annoying. It’s weird how the mute button on the Xbox dashboard doesn’t work and I haven’t found out why or how to fix it. Anyways, have you tried the Kontrol Freak precision rings? Do you know if they are worth it?
I haven’t tried out the precision rings as I’m usually using an elite series 2 where I feel the 3 tension adjustments are good enough for me (also heard that the magnetic joysticks won’t stay on with precision rings in use on the ES2). However, i’ve heard positive things in the sense that you could utilize higher sensitivities but still be accurate. This would be helpful for me because it gets frustrating not being able to flick quick enough on people (mnk players) in some FPS games. I would consider using them for controllers that don’t have native tension adjustments for the thumb sticks. For example, I might get a battle beaver controller and test out precision rings if I find that controller to be viable to use on a regular basis.
I have the cloud alpha and I also have a problem with the microphone and speakers and I search and search and no solutions appear either, no one talks about the 3.5 port in videos of the controller
Elite pro 2 wayy better. Ive had both. Power A trigger broke in half because of trigger stops. I like the audio on power A better and audio control on the controller. Power A does have a great warranty though , they are sending another for free and dont even have to turn in the broken one. Elite pro just has a way better build and way more customizable. input registration is better too. Power A litterally puts weights in it to feel comparable to the elites weight. But Power A not bad, would choose Elite if I had a choice.
That hasn't been my experience. But I don't use it heavily (use my elite series 2 daily). It's still a solid back up for me though. However, if breaking is a concern, get it from a place like best buy or GameStop and get the extended warranty and you should be able to replace easy outside the manufacturer warranty
i wouldnt recommend either , power gets stick drift and elite series 2 its either the run stick will get lodged or the rb will break , ive had 3 or each and each has gotten the problems i mentioned within 3 months , mind you I'm a above average gamer a once a week gamer these controllers will be fine
I just bought power A enhanced controller and in just 10 days the RB gave up and broke, very fragile and unsatisfactory, I had lot of expectation from the controller. Now remapping and practicing to get used to new button combos. Really disappointed
@@lbs Yes fortunately they did. And i must say Power A customer service is very good. They replace with a new controller and didn't ask for the defective control. As it was less than a month and within their warranty policy
I play pubg on Xbox and it's probably the most competitive game on console, I used a regular Xbox controller for years, then I tried the power a fusion pro, and it made my gameplay about 15% better. They are way more precise and reactive then a normal controller, if you want a competitive edge then power a is for you
I've had both and after about a year the 1st gens paddles were non responsive. I've had the 2 gen for five months and my right bottom paddle broke one week ago and I'm getting an elite 2 in about a week
i dont trust powerA at all, i've had 5 of their controllers through warranty, all 5 had the same issue, the left joystick seemed to interact with the right joystick and make it glitch
Appreciate you sharing! I tend to hear more good about these controllers. So great to hear the other side. Thought I was in a smaller boat with my avg. praise for them
The one I received had drift the 2nd day and the sticks are wobbly and feel bad when moving them around. Almost like a cheap feeling. Couldn’t return the controller either so I just have it laying around in my room. Waste of money really.
the reason they don’t make wired xbox controllers is because xbox doesn’t give out whatever software it is to make a wireless controller connect to an xbox
The Fusion 1 was my favorite before I just got a victrix gambit...but to say the 2 is better is just a lie 🤷🏻♂️ it’s literally the exact same controller with a toggle switch you’ll never use save your money and buy the fusion 1 now that it’s only like 40
The toggle would be a great addition, I bought one just for it, but the FP2 has a fatal flaw. There seems to be a permanent feedback loop on the mic. I tried contacting PowerA to see if they were going to fix it in a firmware update and they suggested a replacement, but it has the same problem as my first FP2. I want to like the controller, I love the original Fusion Pro and the Fusion Pro 2019, but the headset loop makes FP2 basically unusable.
@@SpeedyGoneFroglegs that sucks...my razer had a similar flaw bc when using a wired mic with the wolverine ultimate it removes all mic monitoring and it’s super annoying feeling like I’m either yelling or talking to low all the time 🤦🏻♂️😂
@@automattic4202 Dang, thanks for posting that, I was actually looking at the Wolverine Ultimate considering the price coming down a little. Shame to hear it does the same thing. 😮💨
@@SpeedyGoneFroglegs don’t get me wrong I love it...I actually bought a wireless headset to get around the issue...I just really really like the victrix now LOL
I got this controller in addition to having my elite 2. The thing I like far better about this controller than the elite is the fact that there isn’t left sided stick drift. If the elite 2 had even stick drift instead of left sided stick drift I would still be using it. I find that when I move my right stick up right or down there’s no drift but when I push it slightly left the drift is bad. This controller has great control with the sticks and very little drift considering the durability is great. Imo this is a great controller but won’t benefit some users in certain games played.
If you’re looking for a controller for full control in shooting games this is the controller imo. Real smooth and full control especially with the tall domed stick.
I just hate the material that the thumbsticks are made of. It rubs off and leaves dust on the outer circle containing the thumbstick. This make stick drift worse I think
But the most missing feature of the Original Elite 2 controller does not even this one here, offers: Loading wireless while inside the Box! The original stays ahead of this "cheap copie" 😉 Dont need to watch any further
@@lbs from what I understand after looking into it, scuf own certain patents for controllers that they actual license to other controller manufacturers, I’m not exactly sure if they leverage that to make wireless controllers or if they are just taking an existing controller and modifying it like some other companies, but I do know that the board inside a scuf controller is the exact same one from Microsoft’s first party controllers
Worst controller all around I’ve ever had paddles break in literally 3 months out the box the first hour my left stick moved really weird and squeaked and the controller all around just dosent feel as good and the sticks are really differnt VERY FLICKY AIM makes your sense in any game WAY FASTER
Wired controllers in 2021-22 it's a huge deal breaker for me. Console gaming is a couch gaming. Plus, talking options for PS4, PS4 has many great wireless options: Nacon, Razer, Astro. Xbox - only Elite Series. True - Elite 2 is an excellent controller, but there is nothing else for wireless gaming. And don't tell me Scuf - those are very overpriced. For PS4, one of them had thumbstick stuck at the very beginning and other - paint was bad, I was playing with gloves so my hand not get that sweaty, and paint got damaged. Does not happened with regular DS 4 controllers. And both were $250+
Please note that in my experience PowerA does have excellent customer service and covers stick drift. I had a GameCube style Switch controller they made replaced within a week after I reported stick drift and they were apologetic about not being able to get it to me even faster.
Stick drift is caused by deadzone. But if you were able to get a controller with no stick drift on 0 deadzone that's amazing.
Similar experience. Surprised me how easy they sent me a replacement without having to send back the other controller.
I just upgraded to an Elite 2, but this controller looks pretty solid! Great review!

I've just changed to this to elite 2 and I really regret it. Elite sticks fells so woody and not as flicky as this . Going to order this one again and ask a refund for the elite 2

Its a good one😀feels good and is heavy,real a good feeling to hold it😀
Great review! Looking forward to Elite Controller Series 3. Hope it drops sometimes soon (if ever).
Fingers crossed! Thanks!
I've owned the first version for over 2 years. I use it heavily in chunks of time depending on what I'm playing at the time. Definitely high usage recently with 200hrs plus on Halo infinite.

For this money its more than satisfying !!!
How do you make the share button take video clips instead of screenshots
I just bought power A enhanced controller and in just 10 days the RB gave up and broke, very fragile and unsatisfactory, I had lot of expectation from the controller. Now remapping and practicing to get used to new button combos. Really disappointed
Sorry to hear that. That's a bummer. They replace it for you?
@@lbs Yes fortunately they did. And i must say Power A customer service is very good. They replace with a new controller and didn't ask for the defective control. As it was less than a month and within their warranty policy
I play pubg on Xbox and it's probably the most competitive game on console, I used a regular Xbox controller for years, then I tried the power a fusion pro, and it made my gameplay about 15% better. They are way more precise and reactive then a normal controller, if you want a competitive edge then power a is for you
Elite 2 is more for competitiv gaming
boyyy if you think pubg is the most comp on xbox you are insane
@@rSiika then what is? What do you play that you think is more competitive
@@maxkruppa3716 your crazy if you think elite 2 is better then a power a for comp gaming
@@BitumenBandits power a is cheap trash 😂
ok but i lost the paddles so i need to know dose the elite paddles fit in the pro 2
No, they are two completely different controller designs and paddle systems
Great video
Appreciate the support!
Has anyone had a problem with wired headphones I have HyperX cloud alpha and it doesn't work well that's the only complaint I have so far about amndo
Power A puts weights in their controllers. That’s why it feels heavier
I've had both and after about a year the 1st gens paddles were non responsive. I've had the 2 gen for five months and my right bottom paddle broke one week ago and I'm getting an elite 2 in about a week
i dont trust powerA at all, i've had 5 of their controllers through warranty, all 5 had the same issue, the left joystick seemed to interact with the right joystick and make it glitch
Appreciate you sharing! I tend to hear more good about these controllers. So great to hear the other side. Thought I was in a smaller boat with my avg. praise for them
Does anyone know if this controller works with series s
Yes it does.
Alr thx
The triggers Breaks If you use the Trigger stops
Thanks for the share. Hasn't happened to me or my buddies yet, but something good to be aware of.
Tbh, i bought this controller not because its new, but because my fusion pro 1 broke down and needed a new replacement💀💀💀
Does it have led lights?
It does not
The one I received had drift the 2nd day and the sticks are wobbly and feel bad when moving them around. Almost like a cheap feeling. Couldn’t return the controller either so I just have it laying around in my room. Waste of money really.
the reason they don’t make wired xbox controllers is because xbox doesn’t give out whatever software it is to make a wireless controller connect to an xbox
Do you need to use the cord to use this controller? Or can use it as a wireless controller? And can you put batteries in?
You need the cord
The Fusion 1 was my favorite before I just got a victrix gambit...but to say the 2 is better is just a lie 🤷🏻♂️ it’s literally the exact same controller with a toggle switch you’ll never use save your money and buy the fusion 1 now that it’s only like 40
The toggle would be a great addition, I bought one just for it, but the FP2 has a fatal flaw. There seems to be a permanent feedback loop on the mic. I tried contacting PowerA to see if they were going to fix it in a firmware update and they suggested a replacement, but it has the same problem as my first FP2. I want to like the controller, I love the original Fusion Pro and the Fusion Pro 2019, but the headset loop makes FP2 basically unusable.
@@SpeedyGoneFroglegs that sucks...my razer had a similar flaw bc when using a wired mic with the wolverine ultimate it removes all mic monitoring and it’s super annoying feeling like I’m either yelling or talking to low all the time 🤦🏻♂️😂
@@automattic4202 Dang, thanks for posting that, I was actually looking at the Wolverine Ultimate considering the price coming down a little. Shame to hear it does the same thing. 😮💨
@@SpeedyGoneFroglegs don’t get me wrong I love it...I actually bought a wireless headset to get around the issue...I just really really like the victrix now LOL
I got this controller in addition to having my elite 2. The thing I like far better about this controller than the elite is the fact that there isn’t left sided stick drift. If the elite 2 had even stick drift instead of left sided stick drift I would still be using it. I find that when I move my right stick up right or down there’s no drift but when I push it slightly left the drift is bad. This controller has great control with the sticks and very little drift considering the durability is great. Imo this is a great controller but won’t benefit some users in certain games played.
If you’re looking for a controller for full control in shooting games this is the controller imo. Real smooth and full control especially with the tall domed stick.
I just hate the material that the thumbsticks are made of. It rubs off and leaves dust on the outer circle containing the thumbstick. This make stick drift worse I think
Very well done video, you did spell "pricier" wrong in the title though. Not trying to be a dick just trying to help.
Dick! Just kidding. I appreciate that call out
But the most missing feature of the Original Elite 2 controller does not even this one here, offers:
Loading wireless while inside the Box!
The original stays ahead of this "cheap copie" 😉
Dont need to watch any further
Xbox doesn’t license 3rd party wireless controllers
Scuf is a 3rd party...
@@lbs from what I understand after looking into it, scuf own certain patents for controllers that they actual license to other controller manufacturers, I’m not exactly sure if they leverage that to make wireless controllers or if they are just taking an existing controller and modifying it like some other companies, but I do know that the board inside a scuf controller is the exact same one from Microsoft’s first party controllers
🤷🏾♂️. I'm thinking some deal was worked out with the 2 companies as Scuf designed the original elite controller and gave it to MS
Tbh, for what this thing is it is a bargain deal.
I HATE braided cables
It’s power a, which means it will inexplicably stop working a weeks after you buy it
Still working fine for me 🤞🏾
Works fine for me prob have about 900-1000 hours of heavy use on it
I have a power a battery for my controller and it's last 6 months
I have the gen 1 power A. I've had it for about a year. It's never failed me in any way and it's still kicking. I love it!
elite is better i have one and yes i love his remaping etc...
Worst controller all around I’ve ever had paddles break in literally 3 months out the box the first hour my left stick moved really weird and squeaked and the controller all around just dosent feel as good and the sticks are really differnt VERY FLICKY AIM makes your sense in any game WAY FASTER
Wired controllers in 2021-22 it's a huge deal breaker for me. Console gaming is a couch gaming. Plus, talking options for PS4, PS4 has many great wireless options: Nacon, Razer, Astro. Xbox - only Elite Series. True - Elite 2 is an excellent controller, but there is nothing else for wireless gaming. And don't tell me Scuf - those are very overpriced. For PS4, one of them had thumbstick stuck at the very beginning and other - paint was bad, I was playing with gloves so my hand not get that sweaty, and paint got damaged. Does not happened with regular DS 4 controllers. And both were $250+
The controller look awesome but is not wireless 😤
Correct
Far to heavy and paddles go loose to fast
not worth it for a wired controller
Not worth
wireless suck, that's it
