I find this easier for fighting games like Street Fighter. The D-pad on the PowerA Enhanced controller is squishy, like the one on a Wii controller or a Game Boy. MORE: Xbox Design Lab Review: Is This Custom Controller Worth It? Ultimately, if you're a hard-core competitive gamer, PowerA's option will not satisfy you. But even the addition of these extra programmable buttons are counteracted by the hindrances in stick and button feel. They do take some time to get used to, but the feature offers extra value to competitive gamers. The buttons are very easy to program and work without a hitch. If you're a fan of shooters, then the programmable buttons on the back are a nice addition. But on the standard Xbox One Controller, there's finesse in precision that made me feel more in tune to the driving experience. The sticks are accurate, and in my tests, I couldn't find much, if any, dead zone. When jumping over to racing game Forza Motorsport, I was surprised how the stiffness in the sticks affected my driving. But Microsoft has said it's not necessary to "break in" a controller. It's possible that, after a lot of wear, the sticks might loosen up. Not a single button or stick on the PowerA feels as good as on the standard Xbox One controller. I wasn't able to land wavedashes properly, and it got me wondering: Is it the same on a standard Xbox One Controller? After plugging in the controller that came with my Xbox One S, I was pulling off perfect wavedashes as if I were using a GameCube controller. I found it hard to slide my thumb between Y and B, for example, whereas on a standard controller, that slide feels smooth.īut trying a more advanced technique, like a wavedash - which requires a quick press of the Y button into a left or right trigger - was even more difficult. It lacks the delicate attention to detail Microsoft has given its controller, like the slight differences in button height and button shape. Doing a short hop, which requires a very light tap of the jump button, into a quick attack required very deliberate inputs. The buttons on the PowerA Enhanced controller felt stiff. When I switched over to Icons: Combat Arena, a Super Smash Bros.-like arena fighter currently in early access, the difference in quality was jarring.
