PowerA Fusion Pro 3 Xbox Controller Review-HUGE Improvement

Ойындар

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.

    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!

    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 🤞

    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 :)

    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!

    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

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.

    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

    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!

    @@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

    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.

    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.

    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

    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

    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!! 🤓🖖

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?

    I actually like the previous iterations quite a bit. The back paddles were hot GARBAGE, no doubt. BUT, PowerA actually has fantastic customer service. They sent me a warranty replacement the first time the paddles broke. Then the replacement broke of course, but even though it was way out of warranty, they sent me another free controller as a good will gesture. I’ll upgrade to this when the second replacement inevitably breaks.

    Alright so I didn’t expect to find such a lively comment section around this controller. I just received my v3 yesterday from Amazon and got to get in a good gaming session. I an coming off a fusion pro v1 that has served me very well for the past 3 years. I loved my v1 but it really was starting to show its age. Still completely functional though. First impressions of the v3 it’s super light compared to v1. I personally liked the heavier weight of v1 but it’s whatever, something I can get used to. I really like the new paddle buttons. I only use right and left paddle so I just assign both sides to the same button works out great. I think the buttons analog sticks triggers all seem of same quality to the v1. I am getting used to the new feel of it and beginning to really like the v3. If it last as long as my v1 did then this is the best pro controller on the market.
