What I didn’t like was that my controller would randomly disconnect sometimes. PDP is gracious enough to provide a 10ft cable, which is a much-needed length for some living rooms. I don’t really have a problem with wired controllers, using them doesn’t really bother me. One thing to remember, is that this controller is wired. While most of my time using the Afterglow was pleasing, I did run into a few hiccups. And finally, pressing it 3 times will have the LED as yellow, letting you turn the rumble features on and off. Pressing the program button twice, and the fron LED turns green allowing you to remap the multi-function wheels. Color choices are literally everything in a standard spectrum.
Pressing it once will light a front LED blue, which then allows you to alter the brightness and color of the main controller using the thumbsticks: left thumbstick controls brightness, while the right controls the color. That is going to be the main source of control for most features. Speaking of which, I didn’t fully address that program button on the back. You can use that multi-function button on the back of the controller to turn it off. If you’re not a fan of it, you need not worry. I found this feature most helpful on racing games, as I could feel the how the car was handling and reacting to the road through the triggers, much like in real life where you can feel the same through the pedals. This is a very sensitive rumble setting that literally lets you feel all of the action where you need it. I think from a design standpoint, this was ingenious and something that all controllers should come standard with.Īnother standout is the dual rumble motors and impulse triggers. Once you press that in and hold it, you use the D-pad left and right to select either party or game chat, and then the D-pad up and down to set the volume. This is achieved using the small button to the lower right of the right thumbstick. I can plug my headset directly into it, and still have the sound running through my headset, as well as control the audio. I currently use the Turtle Beach XO Four Stealth Headset, which has a control adapter that connects to the controller. One great feature I adore is the 3.5mm audio jack complete with audio controls built into the controller. Each wheel can map up to 3 different buttons, which translates to 3 different movements on the wheel itself: up, down and press in (similar to how you click the thumbsticks in for 元 and R3).
With a slight motion with my fingers on the underside of the controller, I can reload, crouch/go prone, switch weapons and jump with a quickness. I’m a big FPS player, and I found this feature to be one of my favorites. Remapping the switches is very easy and takes literally about a minute max to change. The wheels add quicker response time to in-game actions, without having your thumbs ever leave the thumbsticks. The dual wheels on the back are very similar in utilization to the Xbox Elite Controller and its paddles on the underside of the controller. So now we put it to the test, does it actually work? The thumbsticks are very high quality, using ALPS premium sticks.
The controller also has a 3.5mm audio jack, as well as built-in controls. There’s a main button on the back, along with a couple of multi-functioning wheels. While holding it, you can feel other additions on there that isn’t on a standard controller. Out of the box, it appears to be your basic Xbox One controller. But this controller is like a Transformer, as it’s more than meets the eye. Just by looking at the box itself, you can see that the main feature of this controller is the ability to have whatever color you want glowing as you game. New for the Xbox One, is the Afterglow Prismatic Controller. PDP knows this and has for quite some time, as their Afterglow line has been around since Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 days. In this current day and age of technology, customization is king.
