PowerA Fusion Pro 3 Xbox Controller Review-HUGE Improvement

The original Fusion was a wired Xbox pro controller with a terrible rear paddle design and useless trigger stops, the successor jacked the price $10, added USB-C, and a share button. The Nintendo Switch version had the same pitfalls but is still one of the best pro controllers on the Switch platform. Changing 1 component makes this feel like a better controller than ever.

[@Y0uDaRealMVP]

With the power 2, I got it because a target employee said i should because i was going to buy an elite and thought its so much cheaper might as well try… it lasted me a little over 2 years. The paddles never worn out and the only thing that did was my left stick having an edge break because of too much use which I thought was crazy. The wire connection soon gave out and I’ve been using the base controller for a couple months. I wanted to get another paddle controller and saw this one on amazon and I can get it same day so I bought it. Will come in a couple hours but thank you so much for the reassurance on this controller!

[@GrandNuhoch]

Was looking for a new controller for PC and after watching a ton of your videos I went with the 8bitdo Ultimate Bluetooth controller ✌✌✌

[@AmyOTrophic-re3eu]

The one caveat To reviews like this is long term longevity. I understand it’s most convenient/effective for content creators to review right out of the box, and maybe play on it for a couple days after to get a feel for the controller, but after reviewing 100 controllers like you said it’s probably not realistic to regularly use every controller for months so def understandable, but after 4 years with a power a fusion pro (1), I never once had issues with the paddles. I even used the paddles from the first iteration on the fusion pro 2, and luckily the paddle modules are compatible between generations! They are more comfortable to me than the fusion pro 2 paddle pack. Plus it seems power a adopts a “no questions asked” warranty policy (besides providing original receipt and shipping info) and will send you a brand new game pad for free if you have any issues. So the points on the paddles “wearing out” across my experience with several power a controllers (4) is relatively invalid in my experience. However, what was missed was that the joysticks do wear out relatively quickly against the “anti-friction” rings. 3 months and they already look like a log that has been hit with an axe several times. Good thing this is a really cheap part and really easy to swap (likely a design feature to cover up/fix the wear issue) but power a won’t sell me those on their own. Won’t even let me buy them, so had to go the replacement route. 2 year warranty is pretty much an industry best. Overall though you really do get what you pay for and so much more honestly. Idk if this was “a huge improvement” that justifies a whole new iteration of controller but the reduction in complexity by removing the paddles is a nice feature, as is the price reduction. Overall a super good review! Really in depth and super happy to see someone who is applying almost 0 bias, and all numbers to their videos such as the input lag, the dead zones etc and testing them through science and really putting the work in to put the knowledge in our hands. Super shocked about the weights! Excited to see if this one lives up to the hype 🤞

[@HeartInLight]

Wow, what a turn around by powera! Cant wait for the wired comparisons. I have a victrix gambit and elite 2. And have a fusion pro 2 as a backup, since I hate the paddles. I think the gambit is my favorite. But the paddles are a bit janky. It just doesnt feel good to actuate them compared to the elite 2 paddles. But outside of that, its functionally a better controller than my elite 2. Would love to see how the new fusion pro 3 stacks up against the gambit. Ill be waiting :)

[@panda51829able]

[@cletustrainer]

Dang! I was waiting on this and missed it.

[@Dominus4776]

My favorite controller ever was a PowerA. I think it was the original fusion on the 360

[@AntonioMorales-sk3df]

I love the review a couple of points, the middle actuation for the trigger pull works great for racing games. Since it shortens the throw ,instead of moving the sensor closer, it always you to push 100% but get 75% pressure. Which is enough for maximum braking with triggering ABS or locking up your brakes. So in that regard, it’s very useful

[@AntonioMorales-sk3df]

*Without triggering ABS

[@chrisl3193]

Lol i love the paddle style for all the power a fusions but they're the only paddles I've ever used so I'm very used to them

[@robsabey5190]

[@pwd1134]

I use the halfway trigger for any game that has a gun or firing mode where you could hold down to build up energy. For instance, in Halo the energy pistol or whatever will not charge up on the shortest trigger setting but it will charge on the middle setting.

[@W1Z_38]

Thanks for the review. Was a fan of the initial powerA fusion pro but the 2nd was a big letdown for me. Pleased to see they moved to back buttons. Really enjoying my forza eswap x right now maybe I’ll check this one out sometime.

Hey gamer heaven love the vids and your attitude lol. I use the razer Wolverine v2 chroma, absolutely love it, but next time I buy a controller I may switch to something else. I really like the extra bumper buttons that razer offers on their Wolverine controllers. Any other controllers that have extra bumper buttons ? Or not really? Also when is the rewasd tutorial coming?

[@_MaxHeadroom_]

Best wired controller with back buttons imo. The only slight issue is that the back button placement is slightly off from where your fingers rest. But I solved this issue by resting my left middle finger on the top left button and my right middle on the bottom right. For some reason it feels completely natural that way. Probably because the right and left side gets held slightly differently because of the Xbox thumbstick placement

[@Basada79]

I've been using this brand since pro 1. I have had all versions up to 3. I have 0 problems with them. Back paddles are perfect for me.

[@TJuice1986]

Power A is an awesome company! They’ve been putting the buttons for rear controls for a while now, starting with the enhanced! I actually just had an enhanced controller that was 10 months old have some issues with the thumb stick making a funny noise and they sent me a replacement. The whole process was easy and I didn’t even have to send back the defective controller! Within 7 days of first contacting them I had the brand new replacement! I just really really wished they made PS5 controllers!

[@erot8611]

I use the fusion pro and for me its a very good control, but thanks for you opinion Im thinking sereausly buy it

[@Intekon]

Thumb sticks on Power A Fusions are great. I disagree with the review on the positioning of the paddle buttons though. They look good to me. I'm glad they replaced the fragile paddles from previous models. I had to replace 3 of these already because of the pro pack paddles breaking. Can't wait to pick this new version up.

[@leekenneth4724]

Just found this channel its very informative, thanks for the effort. Actually i am looking for a light weight wireless controllor for xbox do you have any suggestion? because the official controller is kinda heavy for few hours gaming.

This is awesome news I been using the 2 for a long time and it's just started getting stuck drift I wanted to buy a more expensive controller but just can't justify it but I will be going to get a 3 in a few hours!!!!

For anyone asking about this or the elite series 2, id recommend this even if they did cost the same. BUT i like the victrix gambit the best its my go to

[@SharpGT]

As someone who had the Fusion pro 1-2 i liked the weight of the controller, even if it was weighted down. I mean, they are removable ontop of that

@@GamerHeavenOfficial thanks for the info!

[@ieuannightingale4380]

I own the power a fusion pro 2 and 2 lots of the turtle beach recon one all black the other white and purple, I can not Express just how stressful those back paddles can be, either through the controller not recognising you've depressed one of the paddles and so your input is just never registered and lost in the matrix. The weight of the controller was also an issue with the centre of gravity being much further down in the hand it's much more stable but you can notice your hands start to ache as they're getting used to the new ergonomics. The Turtle Beach Recon was amazing, half the price, still wired, half of the amount of inputs on the back side but those inputs worked flawlessly it also has the diamond finish on the back buttons like the new fusion 3. I love this aftermarket controller ecosystem playstation had a dodgy Amazon modded controller back in 2009 and since then I've always wondered how far these things go! I've already purchased my fusion, it says on the amazon ad "impulse triggers" which to me makes me think like they've made an option to have the triggers act more like a button but with the small price increase I doubt that they have the technology must be some sort of false advertising but just having a 4 button option for under £100 has made this decision a no brainer and since I've had more consistency with buttons, this pad might beat out the elite for me!

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Thank you for sharing your experience. Just to make sure we are talking about the same controller. The Turtle Beach Recon (purple and white) is the one that had crappy rear button inputs?

[@spikethespacecowboy]

Impulse triggers refers to the rumble motors that are in the triggers. The standard Xbox one and series controllers have them too.

[@ieuannightingale4380]

@@spikethespacecowboy Yeah I found this out a couple of weeks later, it's nice I didn't notice it was missing from the v2 but as soon as I booted up a racing game it became very clear to me when the car was about to drift and slide, it's not something I really noticed consciously but it did improve the experience by MORE than I realised, the v3 does actuate the triggers with less of a pull, semi auto rate of fire is quicker than v2 but it's not gonna be 2x as fast but using the first trigger stop allows you to bounce through the cycle quicker than standard, you dont feel overpowered but you do feel enhanced in an fps, jump sliding while continuously aiming can make you 100x harder to deal with if you're in lobbies where people arent expecting you to bunny hop past them lasering them in the face. Would recommend in any competitive online game you get the most boost would not recomend drifting the sticks over a single player game tho

Had the 2, tried the 3 and went back to the 2. Definitely did not like the lighter weight of the 3. Hopefully I can find another 2 when this one wears out.

[@EasyHeat]

Gaming COD/Destiny on a One S with my 9yr old on his SSD upgraded PS4 Pro, and went with the budget ($25 on Amazon) Power A Enhanced Wired, and while not anything fancy by any respect? I was somewhat genuinely surprised TBH. I put some Control Freak rings on it to potentially prolong the life of the thumb sticks and so far so good! I found my son a Sony PS4 paddle attachment on Ebay for a whopping $16 shipped! So we both are now sliding and bunny hopping gleefully like the dweebs we are! Haha! Great reviews BTW. I think eventually I'm going to opt for the Fusion Pro SE and it's magnetic thumb stick non-drift tastiness, but for now? Pew-Pew-Pew!! 🤓🖖

[@1donjuego]

I've used every pro controller there is. I have all versions of the PowerA, all versions of the MS Elite, and many others. The back paddles on the PowerA's have never been as bad for me as reviews like this claim. Those paddles are perfect for my bigger hands. No wear and tear. The button's on a new V3 are ok, but they don't fit my hand as well as the v2 paddles. I can see how smaller handed guys might prefer the V3.

[@davidhenderson1800]

With regards to the triggers I've noticed on mine they only cut out the physical pull with no change in sensitivity at all, so for games that require a full pull for example the plasma pistol on halo it's not going to work with the trigger locks engaged. Tested with the power A app on Xbox

[@uEK97coupe]

Just recalibrate it on the power a app and when you do the trigger calibration have the trigger locks all the way on. Once you're done it'll register 100% trigger pull with the locks on. But if you wanna go back and play racing games you'll have to recalibrate the triggers with the locks off lol

[@Nautowlet]

Mine would always randomly disconnect, it got me really bad once during a Nightfall strike in D2. I would have to unplug it then plug it back in 1-3 times until it reconnects. It was a very comfortable controller tho and felt pretty cheap.

[@okmike87]

I didn't think the weights in the 1 and 2 were sneaky. I thought they were there just to make the controller heavier and sit in the hands better. I really liked the weight and am disappointed they aren't in the new 3.

For me, this controller is a solid 8/10. I used the older Fusion Pro for years and loved it. But those paddles in the back were so bad. This new version fixed this problem with 4 real buttons, just as you put it. The only reason I don't give it a 10 is because it doesn't feature Hall Effect joysticks. I guess, it's something for them to include in the next version.

[@gun4funofficial937]

Don’t need Hall effect when they’re as accurate as they are! That being said AVOID the cheap powerA (enhanced, advantage). Their sticks are the absolute worst! I had 1/4 joystick drift out the box. I looked in the app, never consistent. Also, the sticks themselves (what the joysticks connect to) are toothpick thin aluminum that you can feel grinding against the internal restrict or cage.

[@anferFFmax]

@@gun4funofficial937 Accuracy is not the reason you want HE sensors. You want them for less chance of stick drift. I have had my fair share of that problem over the years. HE minimizes that.

[@gastoneduardoawiron9172]

Hi, i have the first and i like so much, but need a change, so i think go for the 3 version.

[@kuzaq3230]

Hey Gamer Heaven I really like your videos and they helped me alot but i still have a question (maybe some of you guys can help me out aswell), so i had an elite series 2 which i liked so much but the bumpers stopped actually working after 6 months, i tried some fixes but it just got worse so i bought a new one. 1 month into my second elite series 2 the same thing started happening on my right bumper and its so annoying. So which controller should i get? All i really need is 4 rear paddles, triggerstops ( not necessary ) and it should be compatible with series s, do you have a recommendation?

[@jgvtc559]

Kev what pc case is that It reminds me of the biggest baddest rog hyperion

[@esportsmiyagi]

Out of all the xbox controllers with back paddles what would you say is best? Not caring about price also

[@itzzCraxyFN-OFFICIAL]

This is the best controller out there in my opinion because I have owned the fusion 2 and it was good but it felt like you were holding a brick but the fusion 3 is just soooo much light and smaller is size actually and I like it

[@JCIKT]

I know you can recalibrate the thumbsticks on the controller it self, but does it change anything with the circulatory?

[@tonysanta3497]

Ribbed for your pleasure. 😅😅😅 Definitely getting it to upgrade my Fusion 1.

[@marintoss]

Kevin, when you hold a controller, with 4 back buttons, you put index fingers on bumpers and middle fingers on triggers.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Why in gods name would anybody do that 😂.

[@marintoss]

@@GamerHeavenOfficial you can't be serious? So if you play FPS games you play with a huge handicap. Even average players can aim, shoot, throw lethal and tactical equipment almost simultaneously.

[@TaeChucky]

How’s the dead zone in the analog sticks ?. I’m so used to pdp controllers so I’m looking forward to a controller where the buttons don’t fall apart and don’t drift . & is the dead one changeable ?

[@NightyNite94]

Do you have a recommendation any specific controller I mainly game fps games and I'm on pc but have used xbox controllers and the 2 older version of powera controller

[@misaellopez8875]

Is there a top controllers for 2023? So many options out there for xbox series x

[@eiramled4425]

I like thr controller amd in favor for the cover for the usb c cable thats on the controller so there is no room for play on it ive had ps5 controllers and those things get loose after a while same with xbox

[@nfaplayergaming]

Bro my controller out the blue stop working I have the same exact one…not the cord because when I put it in calibrate mode or hold the map button my light blinks…but it just won’t come on for some reason any fix?

[@LJ-jm7pg]

How easy are the back buttons to press? I have limited hand strength and have trouble pressing the back paddles on the Elite series 2

@@GamerHeavenOfficial thanks u stallion. Just made my day!!!

[@Cuauhpilopochtli_25]

I bought me one and was liking it until it came to mapping the joy sticks and couldn’t so i had to return. I did however like the 4 button set up on the back.

[@ICr4zyI]

Were you able to lock the buttons if you didn’t wanna use them?

[@LeavEyeDDrum]

Hey man can you map the D pad buttons to the back buttons on this or no? It doesn’t show it in the instruction manual of what I saw you showing of it, but this is a L for me if you can’t.

[@seththomas3194]

Buttons, when you only use 1 left rear one, such as a paddle design, Elite 2 Xbox version, which I only use the left large rear one for COD jumping, is the best design. Buttons, sunken, hard to pull, maybe your hand ergo is not exactly like they design etc...makes the buttons useless for many. Being able to remove paddles, and only have 1, don't know many controllers, in fact 1, that you can do that with, except one other which is descent. My two cents. Good overall controller reviews though on your channel, appreciate you bro!

[@jojobrojoe593]

Wow, so cool, but I do have a request that's dumb too can you do a review on the new elite series 2 core colors to see if their improved it I want an elite series controller and I've seen people say it's drift is bad but with you the oem was better then the core but others says differently I've been looking at other pro controllers anyways fantastic video my stallion

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Thank you. I would do that however I can tell you know customizing an Elite core in Xbox design lab will still have the same quality control as the stock elites. To my understanding, they paint the parts by machine and assemble them to order from design lab but it’s all the same parts…just painted

[@jojobrojoe593]

@@GamerHeavenOfficial wow thanks man

[@jojobrojoe593]

@Gamer Heaven well, which one or even third party pro controller do you recommend?

[@PengwinTamer]

Also, that toy controller you showed in the beginning has an easter egg on it. If you enter the Konami code, it will play sounds from real games, Mario being one of them.

[@JackLeftTown427]

First comment, first like. I love the look of this new controller. Not gonna get one, but if I ever need to get a budget controller to tide me over this one makes my shortlist.

[@GamerHeavenOfficial]

Hey Jack. Yeah I love the blacked out looks. I’ve been really impressed and pleased with this controller so far. Like I told you in discord , I actually got mine delivered a day early which was cool

[@JackLeftTown427]

@@GamerHeavenOfficial absolutely glad you do these reviews. Can’t wait to get whatever my next Xbox peripheral is gonna be. And believe you, me it’ll be something you recommended.

[@PixelPatience]

How do I use the buttons on the back? I’ve Hooke sit up with a cord to my pc but my paddles don’t work on Apex Legends.

[@uEK97coupe]

Im stuck between this or the victrix gambit? What do you guys think?

[@notiratskie8955]

I've had 2 elite controllers $$$$$ not worth it So I went with the first gen fusion pro loved it then the fusion 2 which had the 2 year warranty on them, on my 3rd pro 2 (because the plastic keeps breaking on the paddles like mentioned) Saying all that im definitely getting the pro 3.

[@T4SelNiNO]

The trigger stops eventually broke on both the fusion 1+2 I had. I assumed because I hadn't heard many complaints about this problem that it was a me problem and I was pushing the triggers to hard. Not sure I will bother with the 3 if the internals for the trigger stops haven't been upgraded

[@redsungaming]

Yeah it's a you thing 😂

[@ztings]

Damn you must've been putting a lot of force to break the 😂
