Okay so a couple of things. Firstly, Game Binds Fortnite - Left button "Left D-Pad" (Edit) Right Button "A" (Jump) Modern Warfare - Left Button "B" (Slide) Right Button "A" (Jump) Secondly, I sincerely hope yall enjoy this video lol. I worked hard to get it out in a timely manner, and UMG can't leave me alone on account of my new outro music, so I'm not going to be profiting off of this video unfortunately. That won't be stopping the Review of the Eswap Pro, or the upcoming 6 month update on the Wolverine TE though! Thirdly, I'm aware PowerA released a next-gen version of this controller. It came out after I purchased the og Spectra, and they're essentially identical wither way. But, I might still buy, and Review the new one sometime. Might! Lol
Hey i have been looking for just random controllers and have found this one called the BioNek vulcan pro or something. I haven't really put much effort into researching but thought I would let my favorite reviewer know and see what he things! Also I think it's only like 50, and has the same features and the fusion pro. Could it be a contender?
Haha. I am literally thinking of getting it as, I have a week of time left to return the PDP controller that I only bought to use until the Razer Wolverine Ultimate arrived. I think this Spectra is a decent looking controller to be the Razers backup.
No idea if anyone else has experienced this issue but given this is the second PowerA controller I've gotten of the exact same kind (the one in this video) and it also has fallen victim to the same problem I have to believe it's happened to others out there too. Over time, about 4-5 months maybe 3-4 hundred hours of play time. While there's surprisingly no stick drift I've experienced, as in gradual movements from the analogue sticks even when I'm not touching them. There has been wayyy worse problems. With the right analogue stick, it will randomly and spastically act in-game as if I suddenly went hard on moving it straight upwards, like I'll be running in COD and all of a sudden I'll be looking at the sky and I need to periodically pull the stick down to level out again. Then for the left stick, it will not register input unless some slight pressure is pushed down on the stick. So you almost need to hold it down in a kind of half-clicked in position in order for it to register movement at all. Which is incredibly infuriating for stealth games, where slight input differences is the left analogue stick are pretty vital. Which really sucks for me to say, because I love the price of these, I love how they look, how they feel, they feel perfect for my hands, which is the only reason I crossed my fingers hoped it was a once off issue and bought a second one, only to see the exact same identical problems with the analogue sticks return.
I haven't seen too many comments discussing this, I may have seen one or two, but none that I can remember off the top of my head. I'm not entirely sure what the issue could be, or what causes it. Stick drift is normal, but this is clearly something very different. Something could be inside of the thumbsticks potentiometers, but I don't know how it would happen more than once
Yo man, love your videos, I've had a Spectra for a little over 12 months now. And it's served me VERY well, I agree with you on one reliability problem though, that's with my right stick, it squeaks when moving it around. No real issues with it though, I've also got the fusion and as much as I love the feel of it, the paddles suck. So I alternate between them. Keep up the good work man, peace out
I’ve used this whilst my elite was getting fixed…. The difference between the 2 in my opinion isn’t very much, in fact I prefer the powerA due to it being so light, and for £30 it’s a great controller
Got elite 1 and 2, both good but both broke, £300. The spectra has a big dead zone but you get used to it, built solid/solid feel. Also the PDP deluxe is like 10 times more sensitive and responsive than the elites with 0 deadzone but is built like shit and keeps breaking. Had a spectra for almost 2 year’s, dropped loads of times, everything works fine, no drift
@@airnhere. deadzone is when there’s no input when you move the thumbstick, the PDP controller has literally no deadzone, you get an app also on Xbox so you can adjust and test it. the tiniest movement is noticeable. The power A is a brilliant solid controller but prefer PDP because they are noticeably quicker.
@@bumpyjason thanks bro! Which pdp would you recommend? I’m going to try the power A until I find a replacement because I bought a lunar Xbox controller and the response is horrible compared to the carbon blacks that flood the market.
Legit stuff man. For real I bought this things little brother which is the same just no RGB and no trigger stops and I was looking around thinking 'should I get something higher end' but at most now watching your videos I'll just get this one for the trigger stops lol, I would like some extra buttons but honestly for the price that PowerA puts stuff out for and how good it is.... Who cares if I bust it up? Better that than get some overpriced 'pro' controller and break that... Oh yeah and 100% the bottom buttons are basically perfect.
yes...the outro is dope. Also, PowerA just makes good controllers for the low. I have Switch controllers and the Fusion pro. I'm like you, what's not to like at that price range. Keep up the great reviews.
Just got this controller after continuously going through controllers and it looked really nice to me and i hoped it wasnt complete shit. Very funny guy and good video. Love time stamps so it makes things so easy
The firmware screwed up my controller at first, but after a couple more attempts, my controller now feels way more responsive with a much smaller deadzone now
Ok so I wanted to see a review on this controller and this was the first one recommended. I had to pause it 1 minute in to say regardless of what is said next, I'm subbing. I can already tell I'm going to dig your review style.
TE is a much better controller if you dont factor price into judgement bro. TE is a beast. Thing will last a long time and from my experience it develops the least drift by far.
I already had that controller, it only worked for a year and 14 days ago I threw it away, a good deal for that price, this review is exactly what it is, I had the same problems in the end. RIP Power A Spectra, it worth it for 40 bucks and that's it.
Good luck with the wolverine controller. I brought mine. It was faulty sent it back got a new one not even a year the controller is fucked.. stick drift like crazy on both analogs.. also if I moved the analogs right or left it would stop half way.. I loved the wolverine but it was such a let down for how much I paid for it. So I’ve just brought this one for now to see what it’s like.
@@staciijade6139 I went online to read loads of reviews an one said to move whatever is on stick press down to one of the programmable buttons to take some stress away. Mapped mine like that and hoping foe the best though.
@@makatron ohh it’s a great controller I loved it and I’m gutted it broke on me but just got this controller and it feels pretty decent for its price :)
I’ve had mine for a year and a half and it still works fine, just that the LED messed up because I accidentally dropped water on it, buying a new one though I love this controller
Thanks for the great info, I just got this controller at target and everything seems to be working fine out of the box. Could you give any tips or maybe even a short video of how to best make use of remapped buttons? This is my first time using a “pro” style and want to get the most out of it
(Since I don't know what games you play meaning I don't know their mechanics or button layouts let's go with Warzone as an example and go from there brain storming what you want from my advice) My advice is to reduce the use of the sticks as much as possible while still maintaining a practical and comfortable button layout. To start off put Auto Tac Sprint on, not Auto Move Forward as that will really mess up your day, this is to reduce if not out right stop the need to press down the left stick. Next part depends on the if you play on default or tackle. If on default put melee (R3) to left button (to stop using the stick), then I highly recommend putting your B button (crouch/prone/slide) to the right one that way you can slide cancel by pressing back right button, then Aim, and last A (This also helps to drop shot while leaving your finger on the sticks)
Now if you play on tactical put the crouch/prone/slide(R3) button to right back button or keep it how it is your choice. But I still think your left back button should be your melee. Hope this helps you out and anyone else who reads this.
I personally have had the fusion V1 for over a year now with really no problem. It may just be a faulty controller on some people's end as that happens and sadly it will always be like that. But I love it a lot and have had no issue with it. I have even a power a enhanced controller for switch that after a year still works wonderfully. I had the elite series 2 for about 3 months before it broke and I had to get another one. Keep in mind that it was my 4th elite replacement in general and I have only had one fusion V1. For what it is I know people who have and love the spectra but I can say I personally recommend power a a lot. Especially when I can get a bit competitive in fps games and the controller gets used heavily
Have both the fusion and spectra. Buttons and sticks feel the same. The sticks have the narrowest gate, shortest range of motion of any of my controllers, don't like that. Stick tension relatively high. Dpad is stiffer and more defined on the fusion, but the spectra is good too. Feels like ds4 dpad but firmer. Both have excellent bumpers, prefer them over og xbox and wolverine. Trigger stops are fine, but don't change the output values like wolverine. A press with stop engaged gives you .3/1 values. The grips flare out less than other controllers, which I don't prefer. Back buttons are great but a bit small. They feel better and more reachable than wolverine te. On par with wolverine ultimate and ds4 back button attachment. The fusion has more extra inputs, but the paddles have some mush before they click. Would recommend the spectra over the fusion for those who only need two buttons.
I was definitely waiting for you to drop this video even though I've owned this controller since 2020 christmas 🎄 😆. Keep them good videos coming though.👍👏
Holy fuck this Channel i so underrated xD i wanned to watch only the review of the controller but then i watched the whole thing cuz this guy is hillarious, i expected like 500k subs but then i Look at the count and i was like wtf, keep up the work m8 ur vids are great xD
I’ve had 3 and all the time the right bumper goes out. Also the paddles recess into the controller after a while and make them almost impossible to press.
My ABXY failed immediately on my cheepo 2018 model PowerA controller. Can't remember the model for the life of me but you probs know exactly what I am talking about.
So far I've only used it for headphone out to AUX on my stereo, because my projector has no audio/out, and neither does the XSX! I tried it on 360, but it doesn't work at all.
Been through 2 spectras now, left trigger stop broke so the trigger wouldn't work at all, replaced under warranty. Same thing happened on the new one but snapped in a better place so I was able to glue it back together to keep the trigger working (with no trigger stop). Also the left thumbstick doesn't work if you push it straight up, but if you push up and slightly left or right it works fine 🤷 Way to frustrating to play with so now have an elite series 2, for me wireless is a big plus that's often overlooked.
I will tell you exactly how companies can afford to make controllers so seemingly cheap; the prices are insanely bloated to begin with because console peripherals and software is where all the profit comes from for MS and Soyny (Nintendo make fat profit even on the consoles themselves). Controller prices are set to basically subsidize the consoles themselves. Companies like Razer abuse that to charge insane amounts just because they can. I guarantee you even if Razer is being run by incompetent bonobos that an item like the Razer Wolverine is almost entirely profit even with every single possible cost taken into consideration. The vast majority of the research for controllers was done long ago, near all the R&D cost is long gone even if MS claim it was some absurd amount, manufacturing & labour cost is basically nothing, 0 advertisement cost, throw in all other costs and it's still diddly squat to make a controller.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I heard back in 2017 Microsoft was making the newest Xbox at the time (One X) at a loss. I never knew up until that point that that was the case with most consoles and the accessories/peripherals were where they were making their money. It's weird to see just how cheap these controllers get when companies decide not to be AS gluttonous That being said, for what the Wolverine controllers are, they aren't the worst priced controllers on the market. The V2 is a completely different story though lol
When it's more available yes. The only way to get one right now is to pay between 250 and 300, and that controller imo isn't even worth its base price of 200 dollars lol
Not gonna lie I had this controller and I’m not really a rough gamer but I broke the plastic piece that switches between shooting trigger and driving … I was very upset this controllers life span when used is like 30 days tops
I was looking for paddles for the Xbox one and came across these at Walmart. The paddles were 50 and these were 40. 2 buttons on the back is all I need.
Hi! would you recommend the spectra infinity or the original core xbox series s/x controller, based on lifespan and quality (additional buttons on the back are not a game changer for me) im having a hard time picking between them. Thank you in advance!
This controller is solid had one since cold war no drift no loose or broken buttons yet everything is solid on it. I bought the specrtra infinity recently though just to get something newer and so far returned two, each one had stick drift out the box and one had very lose buttons on the back. I am on my third now and it has stick drift as well only stopping at 7-8 deadzone. I am not sure what is going on with quality control but its lacking. My friend on the other hand has the infinity with like almost no stick drift on 0 deadzone. I guess I am just unlucky probably going to return the current one I have now as well. I don't care if it has minimal drift lets say at 2, I prefer 3 deadzone but when I have to go to 8 out of the box, nah that is just bs cause its only going to get worse with age.
Yeah the rest of the footage was shit talk between me, that guy, and occasionally one other dude lol. I probably should've gotten more for both Fortnite and Warzone
... what does the game play even show besides pad the length of the video? It is not like he is describing the way the controller is playing or showing footy of his hands while he plays
What is with the trash talk in fortnite?! If I’m getting demolished in any game I shut my potato ass up! Your gunplay is almost as tight as your reviews too, man!
I use this controller and it's good. The first one I got had a problem with a mic and then the right analog went out when I pressed it to zoom. Otherwise it's good for me.
I have had an elite 2, the RB broke within 3 months. I ordered the Scuf Impact and it arrived with the O button broken. And so i got my hands on one of these and its been a great controller. worth every penny.
The warranty for the Elite 2s is a standard one year... did you even try getting a replacement? Why didn't you get an extended warranty? Its totally worth it with really any product that is somewhat pricey, just in case.
@@JeffZ1028 Sorry, i forgot to mention i sent my Elite 2 back. When it got sent back the RB button began to fail again and also the left stick began to become temperamental. the click sometimes doesnt work. Just to be clear as well, I look after my controllers, i dont drop them. I keep them clean etc as i know some people will try and argue that. The warranty for the elite 2 was a year, i shouldnt think i need anymore for a controller, but they are built to break sadly. And i just asked for a straight up refund on the scuf because they feel cheap and a controller arriving broken says it all really. Especially given the amount of people that say they have had issues with them. (I do own a battle beaver, and have had no issues with that thus far)
@@LewisYaBam Yeah my Elite 1's bumpers both "broke" but was able to simply tape them in place until I got my money back before my warranty ran out. Same thing happened with a second Elite controller that a friend gave to me. Eventually I got an Elite 2 and have had it for about half a year with no problems this far but no doubt they've had issues as well.
@@JeffZ1028 I hope it doesnt break on you mate :) its gutting hearing stories from people who have spent so much on these controllers and they just keep breaking on people after a few months. Its daylight robbery haha
@@LewisYaBam Yeah me too but I ended up getting the extended warranty just in case, at only $20 to extend it for two more years I should be able to get my money's worth.
how would you compare this controller to the Razer Wolverine TE? cause i have the TE and it’s broken because it got wet so need to get a new controller… do i go for another TE or get the spectra?
Mine has a problem with the trigger button and it will go off without doing anything also the trigger stops don’t work on most games I still use it tho
I ordered a power a controller I dropped it on accident and I broke I returned it and got a new one and that one the right bumper was broken out of the box
I have one of these my only small gripes is the cord is a little stiff and bendy and the rb lb buttons have a bit of a cheap feel and click to them and need a bit of press to respond other than that I like it.
Okay so a couple of things. Firstly, Game Binds
Fortnite - Left button "Left D-Pad" (Edit) Right Button "A" (Jump)
Modern Warfare - Left Button "B" (Slide) Right Button "A" (Jump)
Secondly, I sincerely hope yall enjoy this video lol. I worked hard to get it out in a timely manner, and UMG can't leave me alone on account of my new outro music, so I'm not going to be profiting off of this video unfortunately. That won't be stopping the Review of the Eswap Pro, or the upcoming 6 month update on the Wolverine TE though!
Thirdly, I'm aware PowerA released a next-gen version of this controller. It came out after I purchased the og Spectra, and they're essentially identical wither way. But, I might still buy, and Review the new one sometime. Might! Lol

Same

For $40, this is also the perfect "backup" controller for users of more expensive pro controllers.
Haha. I am literally thinking of getting it as, I have a week of time left to return the PDP controller that I only bought to use until the Razer Wolverine Ultimate arrived. I think this Spectra is a decent looking controller to be the Razers backup.
Yes great when your elite controller breaks and you have to wait to get a new one
this is my 1st good controller , and while wireless is nice I prefer reliability of wired. 5 days in and loving it , got it for 40usd. @ London drugs
For some reason I find a small TH-camr and start to really enjoy them and their content and then they blow up and it makes me happy.

Such a under rated channel
Fun channel and great delivery 🙂
Are you interested by the Turtle Beach Recon Controller ? Seems nice
Is mine the only one that has that annoying loud beeping noise like every thirty minutes
I’ve had 3 and all the time the right bumper goes out. Also the paddles recess into the controller after a while and make them almost impossible to press.
My ABXY failed immediately on my cheepo 2018 model PowerA controller. Can't remember the model for the life of me but you probs know exactly what I am talking about.
So far I've only used it for headphone out to AUX on my stereo, because my projector has no audio/out, and neither does the XSX! I tried it on 360, but it doesn't work at all.
dang i was waiting for the bass to drop in the outro LMAO
I was gonna do that! I thought it would be a little too close to the Trippie Redd song, so I didn't end up doing it, and the video still got claimed 😂
@@vCuda LMAO WHAAAAAAAAT🤣 yt sucks man oh my god
Yo vcuda I’m impressed in your performance in the Belgium vs Italy game today, although I’m not sure why ur jersey said Witsel and not vcuda 👍
Been through 2 spectras now, left trigger stop broke so the trigger wouldn't work at all, replaced under warranty. Same thing happened on the new one but snapped in a better place so I was able to glue it back together to keep the trigger working (with no trigger stop). Also the left thumbstick doesn't work if you push it straight up, but if you push up and slightly left or right it works fine 🤷 Way to frustrating to play with so now have an elite series 2, for me wireless is a big plus that's often overlooked.
I will tell you exactly how companies can afford to make controllers so seemingly cheap; the prices are insanely bloated to begin with because console peripherals and software is where all the profit comes from for MS and Soyny (Nintendo make fat profit even on the consoles themselves).
Controller prices are set to basically subsidize the consoles themselves. Companies like Razer abuse that to charge insane amounts just because they can. I guarantee you even if Razer is being run by incompetent bonobos that an item like the Razer Wolverine is almost entirely profit even with every single possible cost taken into consideration.
The vast majority of the research for controllers was done long ago, near all the R&D cost is long gone even if MS claim it was some absurd amount, manufacturing & labour cost is basically nothing, 0 advertisement cost, throw in all other costs and it's still diddly squat to make a controller.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that. I heard back in 2017 Microsoft was making the newest Xbox at the time (One X) at a loss. I never knew up until that point that that was the case with most consoles and the accessories/peripherals were where they were making their money. It's weird to see just how cheap these controllers get when companies decide not to be AS gluttonous
That being said, for what the Wolverine controllers are, they aren't the worst priced controllers on the market. The V2 is a completely different story though lol
Maan, where can I get the discount for the Kontrol Freek thumbsticks?? Tx, and great vids
finally someone who aint scared to give a honest opinion
V Cuda Is the next Faze Apex with the Power A
will u ever review the astro?
When it's more available yes. The only way to get one right now is to pay between 250 and 300, and that controller imo isn't even worth its base price of 200 dollars lol
The power A I got going on a year and no issues.
Did you do battle beaver review yet??
Can you review the TurtleBeach Recon Controller?
Hi, I Have A Question: Which Controller Should I Buy? The PDP Afterglow Wave Or The PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced? Thanks!
Not gonna lie I had this controller and I’m not really a rough gamer but I broke the plastic piece that switches between shooting trigger and driving … I was very upset this controllers life span when used is like 30 days tops
That outro hit different
Nice video! The software update on PC dont work. Can i update my controller in the Xbox app? Windows 10
I was looking for paddles for the Xbox one and came across these at Walmart. The paddles were 50 and these were 40. 2 buttons on the back is all I need.
Lol spot on left stick went and headphone jack was mucked
Is this controller worth buying it or be Play with after couple of months The cheap PDP controllers don’t last too long
Hi! would you recommend the spectra infinity or the original core xbox series s/x controller, based on lifespan and quality (additional buttons on the back are not a game changer for me) im having a hard time picking between them. Thank you in advance!
This controller is solid had one since cold war no drift no loose or broken buttons yet everything is solid on it. I bought the specrtra infinity recently though just to get something newer and so far returned two, each one had stick drift out the box and one had very lose buttons on the back. I am on my third now and it has stick drift as well only stopping at 7-8 deadzone. I am not sure what is going on with quality control but its lacking. My friend on the other hand has the infinity with like almost no stick drift on 0 deadzone. I guess I am just unlucky probably going to return the current one I have now as well. I don't care if it has minimal drift lets say at 2, I prefer 3 deadzone but when I have to go to 8 out of the box, nah that is just bs cause its only going to get worse with age.
Is it still all good
Lol “i dont feel like playing these games” proceeds to fingerbang both lobbies! 🤣💀
My left stick got drift in two days and a week later the right trigger went out
Awesome outro!! 😎
I fucking LOVED how the fuckin fortnite bit just ended abruptly
Yeah the rest of the footage was shit talk between me, that guy, and occasionally one other dude lol. I probably should've gotten more for both Fortnite and Warzone
... what does the game play even show besides pad the length of the video? It is not like he is describing the way the controller is playing or showing footy of his hands while he plays
What is with the trash talk in fortnite?! If I’m getting demolished in any game I shut my potato ass up! Your gunplay is almost as tight as your reviews too, man!
Reviewing Battle Beaver??
My A button quit working about a month after I bought my last one.
I use this controller and it's good. The first one I got had a problem with a mic and then the right analog went out when I pressed it to zoom. Otherwise it's good for me.
What is the best ps4 controller pls
I have had an elite 2, the RB broke within 3 months. I ordered the Scuf Impact and it arrived with the O button broken. And so i got my hands on one of these and its been a great controller. worth every penny.
The warranty for the Elite 2s is a standard one year... did you even try getting a replacement? Why didn't you get an extended warranty? Its totally worth it with really any product that is somewhat pricey, just in case.
@@JeffZ1028 Sorry, i forgot to mention i sent my Elite 2 back. When it got sent back the RB button began to fail again and also the left stick began to become temperamental. the click sometimes doesnt work.
Just to be clear as well, I look after my controllers, i dont drop them. I keep them clean etc as i know some people will try and argue that.
The warranty for the elite 2 was a year, i shouldnt think i need anymore for a controller, but they are built to break sadly.
And i just asked for a straight up refund on the scuf because they feel cheap and a controller arriving broken says it all really. Especially given the amount of people that say they have had issues with them.
(I do own a battle beaver, and have had no issues with that thus far)
@@LewisYaBam Yeah my Elite 1's bumpers both "broke" but was able to simply tape them in place until I got my money back before my warranty ran out. Same thing happened with a second Elite controller that a friend gave to me. Eventually I got an Elite 2 and have had it for about half a year with no problems this far but no doubt they've had issues as well.
@@JeffZ1028 I hope it doesnt break on you mate :) its gutting hearing stories from people who have spent so much on these controllers and they just keep breaking on people after a few months.
Its daylight robbery haha
@@LewisYaBam Yeah me too but I ended up getting the extended warranty just in case, at only $20 to extend it for two more years I should be able to get my money's worth.
how would you compare this controller to the Razer Wolverine TE? cause i have the TE and it’s broken because it got wet so need to get a new controller… do i go for another TE or get the spectra?
Mine has a problem with the trigger button and it will go off without doing anything also the trigger stops don’t work on most games I still use it tho
my right stick on my spectra sticks, so i switched to the elite series 2
How do the analog sticks feel? I always liked the power a sticks as the stock controllers have the most appealing dead zone and just feel sluggish imo
They feel like every other PowerA Controller. Tight, and fast
yeah its really good
Dam that sucks i wanted to ge this because i dont want to spend alot of money on a controller
Anecdotally, the plain black power a controllers I've bought have been much more reliable than the different coloured ones.
@vCuda can you maybe do a video on the PowerA Spectra Infinity Controller for the Xbox Series X|S?
Would you recommend the power a enhanced?
Have you thought about reviewing the Astro ac40 controller?
That controller look fire but wtf is spending 400, I bet that controller is so good though
I ordered a power a controller I dropped it on accident and I broke I returned it and got a new one and that one the right bumper was broken out of the box
I wish they would make these with additional buttons and not remapped buttons
I have one of these my only small gripes is the cord is a little stiff and bendy and the rb lb buttons have a bit of a cheap feel and click to them and need a bit of press to respond other than that I like it.
