This is a very good controller. The rainbow effect is the biggest highlight. I was attracted by this appearance at first sight. Of course, the somatosensory assistance is also good, but I think there are some shortcomings. This is a wired controller with a type c interface , I can't understand. I think the wireless controller will be better, because I like to play games on the sofa.

Thank you for the long-awaited review. I had the idea to take it (when the ElitistS sold out), but in the end the discounts were decided for me and I took GuliKit King-Kong pro... Handsome! Sticks, ABXY buttons, triggers, everything is a complete delight, but... after I click-click-clicked the L1 and R1 buttons, put it in a nice place on the shelf and continued to play on my old 8Bitdo SF30 pro))))

As the owner and user of 3 of these controllers (formerly made BY PDP), I can guarantee with authority that the programable wheels in the back don't feel unnatural, nor unconfortable, takes very little time to get used to them, although is worth pointing out that they are not reliable as they would often register some incorrect imputs, not because they are old now but, right out of the box, not that it is a deal breaker though, the controller itself is pretty durable with some exceptions where the triggers might break (really, one of them snapped), which is a gamble, the quality of the buttons is really good, taking more than a simple beating and still standing, the D-pad is not bad and could get better as you use it, the d-pads are not good by default, you gotta work them until they are well trained and seasoned (something every reviewer and casual player fails to realize or perceive. It's been almost 5 years since i got mine and they are still kicking. Is really disgusting how people used to praise micro usb interface over the previous mini usb, regarding it to be superior than its predecesor and now complaints about it being crap. It's still good, not the best, definitely not gross, is a very good interface.
@RetroGameCorps2 жыл бұрын
Hi, are you referring to the PDP Afterglow? If so, this is an entirely different controller made by a different company. For example, the Afterglow is an officially licensed Xbox controller, whereas this one doesn't work on the Xbox at all. I can't compare it to the PDP controllers since I don't own those.

Odd that you needed the R90 adapter to make the controller work on Batocera/EmuELEC/etc since Nintendo switch controllers work wired on those Game OSs and this controller works on a Switch and is seen as a pro controller... For that matter if the controller works with the R90 because it's seen as an xbox wired controller - those work on the various GameOSs out of the box too... Perhaps you should retest the controller without the R90 adapter on Batocera/EmuELEC/etc ?
@RetroGameCorps2 жыл бұрын
Hi Eric, I spent several hours testing everything, I apologize if the video implied that I didn't. I had footage of me trying each of these without an adapter but chose to cut it out so as not to lengthen the video too much. The controller most definitely doesn't work with PS4, Batocera, or EmuELEC without an R90 adapter.
@PhantasmXYZ2 жыл бұрын
I know all the advertising and packaging for both the Rainbow controller and the R90 adapter excludes XBox One/X/S support. I know the Rainbow controller doesn't work by itself on XBox... But I'm still curious if there is "off-label" support with the R90 adapter on XBox? If you were able to test that? And if that doesn't work, is there *any* "Switch-to-XBox" adapter by another manufacturer that may be compatible with the Rainbow?

It’s funny he keeps mentioning how it feels like an xbox controller when it literally is an xbox one pdp afterglow controller….wait after watching the whole thing, you need an adaptor to use this on xbox? How? Why? It was made for that purpose, unless they changed something internally which makes no sense, why would they leave the ABXY layout as an xbox controller when it’s more of a switch controller, I know they are marketing it as a PC controller, but I have a ton of controllers and most don’t natively work on the switch without an adapter
@RetroGameCorps2 жыл бұрын
Surprisingly, this doesn’t work on an Xbox at all. It’s not officially licensed, which is necessary to work on that console. I assume the company didn’t want to pay that licensing fee, and went for PC/Switch compatibility instead.
