The Xbox One Elite controller is the gold standard when it comes to premier Xbox One controllers. While a phenomenal peripheral, it’s also an expensive one at $149.99. Those looking for an affordable alternative need look no further than the new Fusion Pro wired controller for Xbox One. At $79.99, this revised edition of the existing Fusion Pro delivers everything Xbox players want from a deluxe controller. Like the Elite, the Fusion Pro is a controller that serious Xbox players should consider buying.
The Fusion Pro comes in a hardshell case which has the Fusion logo emblazoned on it. This case is ideal for those who want to take the controller with them when they travel. There are two additional joysticks within the case, as well as two extra metallic rings, four detachable paddles, and a two-meter braided USB cable. The end of the cable that enters the controller locks in place when inserted. This ensures you won’t pull the cable out by accident.
The controller itself looks and feels very much like a standard Xbox One controller. It has a matte soft-touch finish that feels great to hold. Both analog sticks have anti-friction rings. Metal also surrounds the D-pad and face buttons. Dual-rumble motors help each game come to life. You can easily remove the faceplate in order to swap out each analog stick. The controller’s weight makes it feel like a premium device.
You’ll find the back paddle access port on the back. It’s easy to remove this piece of plastic and swap it out for the “Pro Pack” which houses the back paddles. You’re free to remove each individual back paddle if you don’t need all four. You can also opt to not use the back paddles at all. There are trigger locks to the sides of the access port. You can adjust the range of each trigger’s actuation point, depending on the game you’re playing.
The Fusion Pro works for all Xbox One systems (standard, S, and X) and for Windows 10 games. To test the controller, I played Sunset Overdrive and Cuphead on Xbox One and Gears of War 4 and Forza Horizon 3 on PC. Playing these games with the Fusion Pro works as well as expected. In fact, because of the controller’s matte finish, playing these games felt much better than on a standard controller. The controller’s weight makes it feel especially sturdy. The back paddles offer extra inputs while the longer optional analog sticks deliver more precise control in games like Gears of War 4. (or 5)
If you’re looking for a premium Xbox One or PC controller that won’t break the bank, the Fusion Pro wired controller is the peripheral for you. PowerA did a remarkable job of making this $80 controller as good (or better) than some of the more expensive options out there. I can’t speak to how much of an upgrade this controller provides over the original model, but on its own, it’s a solid device. The Fusion Xbox Pro comes with my highest recommendation.
