Final Thoughts
The PowerA Advantage Wired Controller is a unique looking controller – its colour is referred to as Sparkle!
The supplied USB-C cable for connecting the controller to your Xbox is very long so you should be able to sit wherever you want to and be able to easily use the controller.
Comfort wise, the Advantage feels good in your hands, even for extended periods of gaming. The buttons are all easily accessible and feel good to use.
The Advantage has dual rumble motors and immersive impulse triggers, so you really feel like you are in the middle of the game.
You can use your wired headset easily by plugging it into the Advantage.
There is a free app you can use to map some of the buttons. There are also 3 way trigger locks so you can set how much pull there is on the trigger – want just a slight pull when playing Call of Duty, no problem!
The PowerA Advantage Wired Controller is a good controller and works very well, and if you are looking for a unique looking controller then the Sparkle colour will certainly be for you.
The PowerA Advantage Wired Controller is available now priced around £34.99.
