  • A controller review of the PDP Afterglow Wired I got back in april and this thing is actually pretty cool. Mic control on the d-pad, see thru, rgb, and wired so no batteries required. A pretty awesome controller for the cheap $20 Dollar price, but is it any good??

    I have an older version of this controller with better looking lights (a tube that runs the perimeter of the controller, rather than just a couple lights), and it does have 2 "wheel" buttons on the back, for a total of 6 programmable hotkeys on the back. Really dumb that that got replaced with this version.

      DUDE! I LOVE THAT CONTROLLER LIKE A FUCKING RELIGION!
      I bought a new one on eBay... I have 12 to 13 of these... I'm very competitive.. so I would replace them if I dropped them.. OR they would get Over Voltage some how and totally crap out.
      Like I would plug it in and instead of turning on it would instantly vibrate, no lights on. Unplug and replug bit it just wouldn't work anymore.
      I have 1 that I had Updated it through the Xbox App back in the day.. and I use it as a Prop RGB Controller that I plug in to any outlet via USB, Mount to a Desk, Wall or Table and let it cycle through it's colors.
      I right now plan to take some of them apart, and integrate them with May Flash Arcade Sticks to build a more Flexible Xbox Arcade Cabinet that will have a full range of compatibility with Arcade and fighting games.

    Can someone please help me. My pdp afterglow controllers d pad is spazzing out and I’ve factory reset it. I’ve done everything and my power a works fine. I’m thinking about returning it for another power a bc my old power a is starting to break. As soon as I plug the after glow in the d pad spazzes out. At first I thought it was the left stick deadline but it isn’t and Idk what to do.

    Well for mine, I don't know why but, the white LED above the Xbox icon is on but the LED's aren't which doesn't make it work AT ALL. I can't use it since it won't move, nor respond to my commands. I tried to reboot it, didn't work. If anybody knows how to fix it, please do let me know.

    1:46 That's to change how bright/dim you want your LED to be (or to turn it off) - if you let go of the button while holding the trigger, it keeps that brightness (or turns it off).
    -
    I got this controller for like $4 at Goodwill; it's my daily driver for PC gaming (I use Dualshock 4s with my Steam Link).
    Also I kinda miss the whole "see through electronics" thing that was big in the late 90s/early 2000s.
