PowerA FUSION Pro 3 Wired Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Mappable Advanced Gaming Buttons, Xbox Controller, Trigger Locks, Black, Officially Licensed for Xbox

I gave it 5 stars, because for the price, it deserves it. However after 8-12 months of use and testing other controllers I do have some comments.Number one, it’s a great quality build. Love the 4 back buttons and the interchangeable sticks. Love the robust build. Meant for large (glove size) hands and up. Very solid material used. Honestly it’s in the pro range quality without the price tag. The overall feel beats elite by far. I know there’s a 4th gen now that I can speak on, but when I bought it, it was a great deal compared to scuff and elite.CONS: would prefer Hall effects tech in both the sticks and triggers. In fact for a wired controller the response time in the triggers is delayed by tiny slight fraction or milliseconds. It mostly doesn’t matter but when it does, it does. That’s it. That’s literally my only complaint. Trigger tech. It still wins plenty of matches but since testing Hall effects it’s just slightly sub par. I’m sorry, it’s true.But for the price with the available software to create hair triggers through the app. the build. the material. the feel. all very good stuff. As soon as fusion updates trigger tech I’m going to buy that model because I love this controller. I looked up fusion pro 4 and it has Hall effect sticks but same triggers from what I can tell. Again, you can use the app to create a hair trigger but it’s not technically instant response.Most importantly for the 70-80 bucks I paid for this, totally worth it. Would highly recommend. The accessories and swappable sticks, size of controller and 4 buttons on the back. I can never go back to basic. Would definitely recommend

For the price this is an insanely solid controller. Unfortunately, it does not feel good if you have large hands. As you can see in the pics, I have massive hands and the controller is just way too small.The back buttons are too high up so it's very uncomfortable for me to try to hold it with 2 fingers on them. I tried different grips and even just using 1 finger for both of them, but it just wasn't comfortable.It's also worth noting that the Fusion Pro 3 is A LOT lighter than the Pro 2. I would guess probably 50% lighter. I preferred the weight of the Pro 2, but that's all preference.As far as performance goes the controller is phenomenal. I bought it for Halo Infinite and it had zero drift whatsoever. I put all of my deadzones down to zero and my character doesn't budge at all with my fingers off the thumbsticks. Thanks to this, playing halo feels very "snappy" and highly responsive, and that I very much liked.Overall, I most likely won't be keeping the controller just because it's too small for my hands. If the back buttons were placed lower it would be fine. Maybe the Pro 4 will have that. Anyways, still great for the price. I bought this to replace a Elite Series 2, and I still like it more than that sad excuse for a controller.

I’ve been a big fan of past fusion controllers. I really felt they were the go-to budget controller. However this model is not a budget value choice. It is just cheap. The first one I received had a back button break within a week. The replacement controller I received broke within a couple of weeks. The issue this time ilwas the adjustable thumb sticks. They are a nice idea, but flimsy and cheap. Both sticks broke inside the stem from regular use. I can’t recommend.

I own the Fusion 2 and although I did like that controller the buttons are 100% better in my opinion. Way easier to use then the bulky paddles and I love that they can’t constantly fall out (like the paddles did). I do wish it had the weight and feel of the Fusion 2 but I saw a lot of people had an issue with that for whatever reason. Not sure why this new version doesn’t bring the extra white face plate (which is my preferred look) but luckily I was able to just put the one from my Fusion 2 onto this one. I have no complaints in general the controller works great. Very responsive and easy to use. I mainly use it to play Apex and I feel it definitely has given me a large advantage.Update: although I loved this controller I’ve had it less than a year and it’s already been lagging. I try calibrating it every day now and it still be messing up the button inputs when I play. It’s very disappointing. I even had to go back to using my old fusion 2. It was that bad. Unplayable.Update2: even though the controller had issues I was able to get a replacement through the offered warranty. I emailed them and they asked a few questions; a couple of emails back and forth I got sent a new controller and haven’t had any issues with the new one. I truly appreciate the good costumer service. This is still my all time favorite controller. Prefer it over my Xbox Elite which I’ve currently had to replace 4 times due to issues straight out the box! That controller has become a joke! Only thing going for it is that is wireless but if you want durability try this one instead!

Hello there!I wanted to give a non biased review on this controller. To give you an easy way to understand: In the words of Todd Howard " It just works". I use the official dock with this. D-pad? Feels good, not clicky. Analog sticks? Smooth and easy. The back buttons are clicky. The three stages of the trigger switches are great for fps games. I have noticed ANY delays. I haven't gotten ANY stick drift. The cord is sturdy in controller. The steam deck identifies the controller as a generic controller. In laymens terms just plug and play. This is the controller you want if you want if the wire isn't a big deal. The cable is 10ft and works just fine. Last thing, it takes all of 10 seconds to configure the buttons on the back. Quick , easy , painless , no controller software to download, no extra crap. Just controller and games. This is a solid buy. Also I tested this is on apex , the outer worlds , and doom, and others.
