Also customizable, these wheels can be completely customized, which means that you can pair their up and down scrolling with the physical buttons. The Prismatic’s sleek design may not feature the recently popularized rear paddles for elite gaming, they substitutes this with two rear wheels. Thankfully, prismatic users will never have to worry about running low on battery life with this controller, and are even given 10ft of cable to work with. Were Afterglow to add light up LEDs to the battery usage, the rabid gaming community might have lost their minds. Between network communication with the console and rumble feedback, gamers find themselves plowing through disposable batteries or constantly recharging.
Normal wireless controllers already devour battery life as quickly as they can. While gamers may not want to feel tethered to a giant box as they thrash their controllers around, it simply wouldn’t make sense for the Prismatic to be wireless. The wired experience has become fairly looked down upon as controllers have grown more complex. PDP has elected for a non-flashy approach, despite its literal flashiness, in an effort to provide the most value for the controller’s price range. They just went for it on a smaller scale, evident by the decision to make the controller wired. The colorful design may be simplistic, but the talented designers at Rock Candy aren’t going for the “16 Trillion color combinations” aesthetic of other gaming accessories. The smaller LEDs don’t feature as much diversity in color choices, but they do compliment the main neon outline. The main neon lighting outlines the controller as a whole, while a smaller subset of LEDs add accents to the overall flair. The only obvious downside being that the colors don’t shine as brightly during the day, or when playing in a well-lit room.Īt $10 less than factory issued controllers, and $15 less than a “themed” controller, the prismatic lets gamers express their individuality while participating in a group gaming session. Afterglow’s rainbow of neon colors offer a wide variety of options, and also feature adjustable brightness levels. Overall, playing with the color patterns ends up being a fun mini-game. It’s even fun to try to match the color of the controller with the color of your car when racing through the vibrant tracks of Forza Motorsport 6. Players who prefer a darkened environment may very well enjoy the enhanced mood lighting that each color creates. Controlling your enormous mech in Titanfall feels just a little bit more epic with a red glow floating throughout the room, whereas the brilliantly colorful world of The Witcher 3 feels just a little more wild with a serene green lighting. After a while, users will stop worrying and start experimenting with matching the neon colors to what ever game they’re playing. After testing the controller with an the vast majority of my Xbox One library, as well as some backwards compatible titles, not once have I encountered compatibility issues with any titles. Thankfully, this has never been a problem with the Prismatic. Nothing hurts worse than the right bumper decides to stop working in the middle of a battle with an angry Gryphon in The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. When it comes to off-brand controllers, getting a controller to work with every game can be a roll of the dice. At a solid price point of $49.99, this is a customizable, glow-in-the-dark, game-enhancing controller and no matter what you’re playing, it will do its job right.
Afterglow controller review Bluetooth#
Although it doesn’t offer the highest tech innovations available on $300 bluetooth controllers, that isn’t what the Prismatic is about.
The After glow Prismatic controller by PDP is a product designed to do one thing and one thing only – to look cool while you game.
