In fact, the biggest downside to PDP's effort is the fact that it's wired - which is obviously a necessary part of its colorful capabilities.

Its sticks, its buttons and its triggers are all comparably responsive and comfortable, and at no point while using the controller have I longed for Microsoft's proprietary alternative. While the Afterglow Prismatic Controller falls short of outdoing its official counterpart in terms of hand-feel and playability, it's only by a whisker. To me, any third-party replacement that used colorful lights as a selling point was probably going to fall short of theВ high bar set by Microsoft - but I'm pleased to say that my initial doubts were soon put to rest. The Official Xbox One controller is a tremendous piece of hardware, as most owners of the system would agree. Many of these non-official controllers seemed toВ use an arresting visual design to make up for their other failings. Indeed, the first thing that came toВ mind when I saw its unusual outward appearance were the dreaded 'spare controllers' I encountered at friends houses when I would headВ round to play video games. Compared to the flat black aesthetic of Microsoft's standard controller, it's an undoubtedly gaudy piece of kit.

The new Xbox One Afterglow Prismatic Controller by PDP offers more than just bells and whistles - it might just give Microsoft's official option a run for its money.ДЄt first glance, you would be forgiven for thinking that PDP's Afterglow Prismatic Controller for the Xbox One might be more of a novelty item than a serious peripheral.
