PowerA Advantage wired controller with Lumectra review
The PowerA Advantage wired controller with Lumectra takes inspiration from the official Xbox Series S/X controllers, to create a great feeling wired experience. Its textured grip, and familiar design, could make it one of the better budget controllers out there for the price. Yet its prospects of being one of the best budget controllers are overshadowed by its frustrating, and difficult-to-customize RGB lighting zones.
The PowerA Advantage wired controller with Lumectra is a stark reminder of how far we've come since the days of cheap-feeling, third-party licensed game controllers. While the flimsy pieces of plastic, riddled with more turbo controls than you could shake a stick at were a great budget alternative to the official controllers of consoles and PCs of the past, the PowerA Advantage wired controller takes things up a notch. It's a flashy alternative for those looking to add a bit more illumination to their PC gaming setup.
You will always be at the mercy of a wire, as the PowerA Advantage isn't available in a wireless model. However, if you're okay with a 10ft type-C cable slithering around your desk, and can see past the initially confusing-to-customize RGBs, you're unlikely to find a similar quality controller…
PowerA Advantage Wired Controller with Lumectra Review
Summary
- The Lumectra RGB lighting on PowerA's new Advantage controller offers vibrant customizations but experiences some technical issues.
- Despite some setbacks like de-syncing and LED failures, the Advantage controller provides impressive performance and easy button remapping.
- While the Lumectra Advantage has some flaws, its solid build, affordability, and RGB lighting make it a top option for wired controller enthusiasts.
PowerA has been around for so long that it'd be difficult to find a gamer who hadn't at least heard of them. Although they're most known for their affordable alternatives to name-brand controllers, their newest Advantage controller aims to take things to the next level.
The Best RGB Gaming Controllers for 2024
Gaming accessories with lights are awesome to look at, but which RGB gaming controllers can perform better than the rest?
PowerA brought Lumectra RGB lighting tech to their lineup in 2023, with the new 18-foot Lumectra LED strip marking their first foray into ambient lighting for gaming rooms. Lumectra's advanced customization and color accuracy made it a natural candidate for PowerA's industry-leading RGB controllers.
Does the updated Advantage wired controller make the most of Lumectra, or is it just more of the same from the fan-favorite brand?
