The Fusion 3 is much better than the fusion 2. For 80 dollars it's a steal. Or buy a Xbox elite and take a chance of winning the lottery that it actually lasts longer than a week. Good video
I know what you mean, I'm replacing my 3rd elite in less than 4 months! Getting a refund this time and I think I'm going for the fusion pro 3
@@datmandeyah_8083 I've had it awhile now and no issues. Only thing is my trigger stops work better in the middle position. The last position makes the pull shorter but in game the middle position fires quicker. The stops are the weakness of the fusion pro 3 but works just fine. It's very impressive for the price point
You gamble most controllers by hoping they don't get stick drift
Months go by, and my Pro 3 is exactly like it was out of the case.i think it's been about 8 months now. I play Fortnite at 8% 1 stick and 9% for other one. Haven't touched it since start of chapter 4. It's actually impressive. Elite you have to change deadzones every few weeks. I dunno how a 80 dollar controller vs a 200 dollar one has 0 issues. It's embarrassing. I bought a 2nd one for my son and he loves it
@@ztingswhen you realize stick drift is your friend. 😂
Great review i like the new iteration from the pro 2. Just ordered one thanks man
Thank u this was the best review I’ve seen today it makes be want to get it
Did you get it?
A month in and no issues so far and I game ALOT about 24+ hours a week and go through a regular power A controller in about 1-2 months.
Hey quick question. How do the buttons on the back fit your hands ?
@@antonioruiz9511that’s what i’m tryna figure out. you ever end up buying one so you can tell me how it feels?
I need this one 🎮✊🏆
Nice review
Most underrated controller on the market. I love the position of the back buttons.
PowerA is solid. I have the Spectra which was 35 dollars about a year ago and haven't had a single issue with it. Very responsive when connected to my PC. A lot of reviews said they were damaged fast or faulty but I honestly think it was user error rather than manufacturing. The only reason I bought the fusion 3 is because I saw my favorite streamer using a controller with 4 paddles on the back.
I have no doubt this 80 dollar controller will be a great upgrade.
As far as the controller goes, I was looking for good back buttons. Those back buttons are game-changers when I play action games like Lies of P or Elden Ring, to be able to swap and use items while still moving is great. Playing a shooter like Resident Evil and being able to use face buttons without interrupting my movement or aim is also great.
Been a long-time KBM user but honestly, I mained keyboard and mouse because I used to play online competitively. Since I don't do that anymore, I switched to Linux and I'm looking for a controller again that'll help maintain a smooth experience.
The reason for the no stick drift is that there's a built in deadzone same as the victrix gambit that you can't remove, makes it a real shame because other than that the controller feels pretty decent, I've also noticed around 90% input it registers max input which makes your overall aim a little bit more twitchy, i hope they address it and bring in some software to calibrate the sticks properly
I have the Fusion Pro 1 and Pro 2 and love them both. I just got the 3 and the buttons on the back are awesome. But I noticed when aiming small movements felt very twitchy and I felt I couldn't aim as well as with the 1 or 2. So I kept swapping back and forth between the 2 and the 3 and sure enough, there is definitely something wonky with the sticks on the 3. I was really disappointed because I like the back buttons so much better than the paddles.
I returned my Fusion Pro 3 not long after my previous comment due to the wonky sticks, it was a deal breaker compared to how nice the sticks worked on the 1 and 2. But when I saw recently there was an Xbox app for PowerA controllers and that there was a firmware update for the 3, I decided to buy another one and try it again. I don't know if it was the firmware update that fixed the stick problem, because the firmware update said it was needed to allow the controller to work with the Xbox PowerA app and nothing about any fixes, (the firmware update has to be applied via a Windows computer) or maybe my first 3 was just a bad one, but this new one has none of the stick problems the first had. I am really digging this controller because I am so much more comfortable with the buttons on the bottom instead of the paddles.
My only complaints with the 3 are it not having the weights inside and the cord doesn't have the quick-release thing like the 1 and 2 have to avoid them getting jerked loose at the Xbox USB port. I really liked how the heavier 1 and 2 both sat in my hands while playing and the quick-release was nice when my goofy dog would walk by sometimes and catch his paw in the cord. But since the cord from my 2 fits, I just use that cord instead of the included one. The weights aren't a deal breaker and I'm sure I will get used to the lighter feel.
@@okmike87 so with the firmware update, you're saying that it no longer feels twitchy? Because that was my main problem. That and it wasn't very accurate when slightly off centre plane. Just say if I pull down and to the right about 3 degrees it won't register the right movement at all just straight down until I get to about 5-6 degrees
@@bahgoesthesheep I don't know for sure if it was the firmware update since I didn't try this new one in a game before I applied the update. But I can say for sure this one has none of the problems I experienced with the first Fusion Pro 3 I bought a few months ago (which were the same problems you described).
@@okmike87 yeah I'd say it was included in the firmware. I've had one friend and seen a couple of TH-camrs say very similar things. It's a shame because I purchased it when it first came out for me in Aus used it once and it was unplayable and it's been in the cupboard ever since. Cheers man I'll give the update a go tomorrow morning.
They will be $50 new on ebay in like a month and then it'll be a no brianer. I absolutely love my power a spectra I got for $20. It's hard not having at least two back buttons once you've used them.
Totally agree! I love mine.
It's hard for me to have less than 4 haha I haven't touched any of the face buttons on my controller in years
Can you connect the fusion 3 wired controller to iPhone?
Best controllers for me are elite series 1 then the older model scuff Xbox controller, then power a 2 so hopefully these paddles and analogs are nice, I’d hate to spend 200 for a reflex
Is it possible to overclock to 1000hz ??
hows the dpad? anyone use one to play fighting games?
Honestly imo PowerA is the best budget controllers on the market I had the fusion 2 and loved it and it lasted a good 2 years so I had no hesitation buying the fusion 3.
How is the comfort of pressing that back buttons chat? I’m looking at making this my first pro controller purchase
this is so late but it’s very comfortable it’s much more comfortable than the fusion pro 2
I hate the fact they got rid of the removable paddles.
the controller is really good, perfect or my small hands
My back buttons arent working
i was curious do you have to map the buttons everytime u wanna play a game or only once then it stays the same?
Just once and it stays the same
I very nearly just clicked buy for the scuf until I saw this I play mw2 a few times a week just for fun I had the gambit and it's just broken, all I need are fast triggers and the back buttons , 80£ Vs 210£ lol no brainer .
And by the way the victrix gambit is a very good fast controller for the same price I'm just a bit to heavy handed so I break them quite a lot, but it's a really good one and you get Dolby Atmos free for life
Awesome video as usual. Point of feedback, you were looking off screen frequently which made it hard to focus on what you're presenting, I just wanted to know what you kept looking at 😂
haha thanks! I have a little monitor there so I was making sure I was pointing to the right things :) appreciate the feedback
@@9to5toys I figured as much mate. Good video all the same ☺️
Is the acuatation of the back buttons faster than the trigger buttons?
Probably, in the series 2 I had problems with the trigger locks, they snapped internally but the trigger still worked, they did feel spongey
I did find however though that it lasted about a year before I got stuck drift and the right stick went bad. But in all honesty for over half the price of a scuff you can't go wrong and never had a problem with any of the straight out the box like you get with scuff or the elite ones. I've had two of them about got a 3rd coming today and both where pretty solid.
Hi, is the mic button off when the red led light is on?
Yes
I just want an affordable controller with back buttons that’ll last
I've had the PowerA Fusion 2 for about 18 months and use it about 6 hours a day, just now needing a new switch plate for the back. * . It is a shame to let $80 be ruined by an 80 cent switch board.
* - PowerA controller (inside bottom switch housing) P?N LBX-959-V1.4 20190424 2920 - - Info on the circuit board. Wish I could just get that part but can only find eBay used (which probably has the same issue). for about 25% of a new controller.
Why get a Fusion A when you can get a Gamesir G7 se for not only at a cheaper price but with Hall effect sticks and a free month of gamepass ultimate
Four rear buttons
My fusion pro 3 costed me 120$💀 but imo its alot better than the xbox elite
Plasticy what does that Even mean? I've never owned a metal controller. Guess I'm ignorant on the subject.
And no mechanical buttons..
80 dolars inst budget, max 20 is!
it’s definitely budget, no controller is 20$ especially not one with paddles. For instance the Xbox Elite Controller is near 200 with all the same features as the fusion. This controller lasts longer and is cheaper, definitely a good option
An Oddity. Play without face plate
Still wired. Pass.
DO NOT BUY THIS CONTROLLER!! I'm on my 3rd one now and the sticks keep drifting bad. It feels great until it stops working. Good luck trying to recalibrate it. I tried and then my triggers stopped working. went to find the firmware on their website and it didnt work. tried to use their app to update and it wouldnt even start the update. just told me to push A button and it wouldnt respond when i did. horrible waste of money do not buy
the Fusion A Pro series is getting worse over time. The first pro has the best click paddles of any controller I’ve used. & is like £30 cheaper than this one.
80 bucks for a wire controller in 2023?? Are these people high???
It has paddles and is wired and does a lot 😂
You get sticks and can program it to deadzones and a lot you got pc
then buy the paper elite
i prefer them to be wired. Less input lag
wire is better less input delay, i plug my default xbox controller in
