![]() This took the form of two small squares of foam that are designed to soften the impact as the triggers bottom out, however, these squares aren’t dense enough, so the mechanism that the triggers actuate manages to slam down onto its plastic mounting plate. The triggers also lack the usual slightly softened impact that we are used to from most Xbox controllers, after disassembling the controller, we found the culprit. Both of these colors have a pastel vibe to them that helps to prevent the custom color from clashing with the standard face buttons, sticks, and Xbox logo. The face of the controller has a beautiful pastel gradient going diagonally across, fading smoothly from marshmallow-esque yellow to a Hello Kitty-reminiscent pink. This is the real selling point, isn’t it? The pink lemonade colorway of this controller is just fantastic to look at. Given that this controller is not wireless, setup is barely worth talking about as it amounts to plugging the included cable into the controller, then into the console/PC, or vice versa, if you really want to spice things up. This worries us as a frontal impact during shipping could spell disaster, however, our sample arrived in mint condition, despite a few visible impacts to the box. One thing worth noting here is that the controller is only secured at the bottom of the handles and on top of the triggers, this means that the analog sticks are almost directly pressed up against the box. So it’s safe to say that PowerA has some impressive heritage, so let’s take a look at one of their more recent products, the ‘Pink Lemonade’ enhanced Xbox Controller. If you’re willing to pay the big bucks you can get just such a controller from companies like SCUF or the Xbox Design Lab, but what if you don’t want to sell organs on the black market or miss rent for another month? Well, there are a few companies producing cute, cromulent, and cost-effective controllers out there, like the subject of this review, PowerA.įounded in 2009 under parent company BDA LLC, PowerA immediately got to work, attaining licenses from Nintendo, PlayStation, and Xbox to produce officially branded controllers, charging stands, and other such peripheral accessories, including the premium sub-brand, FUSION. If you’re anything like us, you’ve coveted a controller with additional features and a more interesting color scheme than the typical primary colors available from the likes of Microsoft and Sony.
