A Closer Look
Final Thoughts
The Riffmaster looks cool and holding it makes you feel like you are using a real guitar. It’s very light and you can hold it and play it for a while without aching! It feels very natural.
Putting the Riffmaster together was really simple – you just click and lock it into place. When you are finished you can collapse it back down for easier storage and transport, if necessary.
They have included a strap in the box, which is easy to fit and adjust, however it does slightly cover the charging port.
Once fully charged, the Riffmaster has about 36 hours of battery life, so more than enough for a play session.
The buttons and controls are very responsive and they are silent, which is a nice change if you are playing using headphones and trying not to annoy anyone else in the room. There is even a dedicated screenshot button too!
The Riffmaster really does pick up fingerprints so if this bothers you, make sure you have a cloth to hand to wipe it down after use.
At the time of writing this review, the only game that this version of the Riffmaster works with is Fornite Festival in Fortnite. It’s a lot of fun playing that, but lets hope that other games will get released because £129.99 for a controller that only works with a single game may feel like a lot of money for some people.
The PDP Riffmaster Wireless Guitar Controller for Nintendo Switch is available now priced around £129.99. There are also versions for PlayStation 5 and Xbox.
