    Nice review, I was waiting for it to come out and waiting for a review here. It's 200 here in Australia, which is comparable to the elite 2. How does it do with COD MW3 and what game is that your playing, looks up my alley? Also, is it a quiet controller? I play in bed a lot in bed on my gaming pc next to my wife who goes to bed earlier than me and I would like something quieter than the xbox controller that came with my series x.

    • @RedBandanaGaming
      @RedBandanaGaming  หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you for that. Let's see if I can answer all your questions.
      First, I'm not a CoD player, so unfortunately I can't attest to how it plays in that case. Sorry about that.
      Second, the game I'm playing is Exoprimal. If you like dinosaurs, exosuits, and third person online shooters, you'll really like it.
      Third, it is quiter than the Series X standard controller, but not super quiet, especially the bumper buttons.
      I hope that helped out a bit.

    I enjoyed and appreciate your review, but I’m pretty discouraged by how much of a downgrade this is over the V3 Pro. I had preordered one…but considering cancelling. I reviewed the V3 Pro, and love the 5th/6th programmable buttons on it, placement is better on those than any other I’ve tried. The fact that the Fusion Pro Wireless is missing those, the mechanical ABXY buttons, and worse trigger stops…man. I was hoping it would be essentially a copy/paste, just pricier due to Xbox wireless licensing.

      The V1 is not compatible with Xbox. This one comes with a charger stand, storage case, has RGB, and is 100% compatible and officially licensed for Xbox One and Series X/S. This is more on the level of the V3, excluding mecha tactile switches.

    Just unboxed and threw on the charger right away so I can test it out. You're right about the ghost lighting, it's so sick! So much so that I actually decided that even if there was something about the controller I didn't care for too much I was gong to keep it just to show off the lighting to my friends, lol.
    I wanted to ask you, when you place the controller on the charger (which i Love the fact that it comes with an internal battery and a charger, so you don't have to keep removing batteries to charge them) the RGB lighting immediately turns on. This is how I first saw it. Is there any way that you know of to turn off the lighting while charging, because it seems like this would just increase the amount of time it takes to charge.
    Thanks for the review, although I was surprised you didn't cover/use the mappable buttons in your review. Do you not use those when you game? I am coming from the GameSir G7 SE and the only thing that was lacking was 2 more mappable buttons. Otherwise I think it is the best 3rd party controller for the Series X. Once I started using the back buttons for the first time on the GameSir and finally got used to using them, I am no longer able to play (fortnite) without them, and tbh I don't know how people play games like this without back buttons on their controller. The GameSir is my favorite controller to date, so I'm Really excited to try the Fusion. Have owned Fusions in the past and think they are great. The fact that I don't have to use Kontrol Freaks any more, 4 back buttons, all the controls on the back (or the app), and of course that super sick lighting, all make this a Pro controller at an amazing price.
    Oh yeah, and it's freaking wireless!!
    Thanks again for the review, and let me know if you know how to disable the lighting while charging.

    Idk why PowerA gets so much hate online, legit the best controllers I’ve used outside of stock series x.
    It’s crazy how awful the premium controllers are from legacy 3rd party controller companies, or most elite style controllers in general.
    I’ve had multiple PowerAs including Fusion Pro 1 and 2, and had less issues with them by far for less than half the price of any similar controllers.
    Gamesir gets a lot of hype and I’ll probably try one but I’m convinced they are paying people to shill for them online.

      Also, I don't think that ppl are blatantly shilling for Gamesir, as their controllers are widely popular, due to being very affordable and readily available.
      However, I did notice them posting multiple fake comments on their recent T3 Pro video to generate hype.

    Maybe they'll offer another version later. I'm so curious about Power A controllers.
    I'm loving my GameSir G7 HE and the Candy Con for the Switch.

    1. Are there any problems to wake up console with this controller? Does it works like M$ controller [push guide button and console starts] ?
    2. Any issues / prblems to connect originl M$ cintroler and Fusion Pro Lumetra at the same time?
    3. Can i charge it with docking station plugged "into wall" ?
    4. Turtle beach has cool feature: I can connect the usb dongle into docking station, and docking station with one cable into console.. so i save 1 usb port.... does tis controller also works wireless with dongle in docking station?

      2. No issues at all with connecting them at the same time.

      4. Unfortunately, it does not.
