I own a fusion pro ver1 (2 years plus) and have owned many different controller brands and I believe this is the only controller that can handle extremely low deadzones, I believe they mastered creating the perfect thumbsticks. Yeah all controllers have their pros and cons but the biggest selling point for me in the thumbsticks quality.
@@MikeChxpo that must mean that you press them hella hard. I’ve had the enhanced controller for a little over a year now and the thumb sticks are still in very good condition. Pressing too hard on the thumb stick will and can fuck them up so I guess that’s why most people say that they break easy.
BIG FACTS! Just got the Elite 2 from Microsoft and requested a new controller return order within the 1st hour of use because I thought it had stick drift. I'm feeling now that maybe I was so used to Fusions excellent thumbsticks that it felt like stick drift by default
Both the powera pros are awesome. The v1 model did me very well just picked up the v2 and its a solid improvement the volume button is much more useful then i expected its about 8% ish smaller and the feel in your hand is dope. The elite2 controller was such a disappointment especially considering price point. For 98% of gamers the powerA pro controllers should be the easy choice
I still have the Fusion Pro and it still rocks. But if I could get a face plate with the added stippling of the Fusion Pro, V2, I would be a happy gamer! Even so, I plan on getting a FPV2 as soon as I have the money for it. The fact that it connects via USB C is a Deity Gift that one cannot overlook. Does it still have the breakaway connector? Also, we should petition PowerA for custom stippled face plates for their Pro controllers/RGB controllers. I think that might make certain segments of the gaming populace very happy.
Great bang for the buck, (both of em) I have the V2 and my only complaint was the plastic tab that held one of my paddles snapped when dropped, however a quick small wrap with electric tape remedied the paddle not clicking consistently from the broken piece
Looks good except for that left thumbstick shape. I hate domed shaped sticks. My thumb always slips off them. EDIT: Nevermind, I just got to the part where he says additional thumb sticks are included :)
Pumped for the new Scuf Instinct n Instinct Pro reviews from the best out there. Bought both and should be here Friday, fingers crossed they don't break in the first week like the other ones I got lol
@@leyenda3720 There both ok, nothing special. Instinct Pro is the better of the two (obviously) but I'm uses to the Elite 2 and I like the stiffer thumbs ticks which Elite has but Scuff does not. If I'd recommend a controller...it would be the Elite series
Can you tell me if the paddle boxes are interchangeable? I currently have the pro 1 but the kids jacked up the headphone port so I was shopping around and found some decently priced used pro 2's that come without the paddles/paddle box.
Thanks for the great review. I own the v1 and love it but was wondering if there is any difference between the paddles from v1 to v2. You didn’t really compare or mention if they changed the paddles at all. Thanks for your time
DO NOT BUY POWER A wired controllers! i play FPS games, apex being my main game for the last year, and I’ve been through FOUR of these controllers, and they all suffer the same fate, the sticks. I’m not sure what causes it exactly, but the sticks on these controllers have a tendency to give you a certain stick drift pattern, and the drift began around a month into my use with ALL of them. It isn’t just me “abusing” my controllers, the drift isn’t specific to one stick or the other, it’s happened in both sticks on all controllers.
I have been using the regular fusion pro controller for about a month now and have noticed that if I don't press down hard enough on the bumpers they don't register an input. Have you had this problem or is this a unique problem with just my controller?
Anyone experienced different vibration levels from the v2 compared to v1? The strength of the vibration whilst I play fps games is way too much. Not sure if the dual motors are broken.
i had 2 fusion pros one was glitchy, the one i have now is great, zero stick drift, u can play .5 .5 for fortnite deadzones and had mine for over a year, get a warranty, when u do get a good one they are great, my kid has gone through 4 elite 2s not worth the money, feels great but breaks too much and forget about using low deadzones
@@dannydavito201 How is this done? Just got a Pro2 and its constantly turning right unless I have like .06 dz.. I tried the windows controller calibration and it didn't fix it. Is there another way to calibrate?
I’ve had my fusion pro 1 for a little over a year, and recently realized some issues with my left analog stick. Almost every time i press it down it doesn’t work and leaves me unable to sprint in games like R6. I was just wondering if there is any way you could help fix this issue, or am i just in need of an upgrade?
i have the same problem here the fusion a pro controller is SO GOOD for r6. My controller also got the same left stick problem. i got a series 2 elite and is complete garbage compared to the power a controller
Recently purchased the pro 2 and I’m not a fan. The paddles feel every cheap and are far too long\big. The analog sticks are just too stiff coming from a standard Xbox controller. I had an Elite 2 but the RB started double pressing so sent it back and the paddles on that feel far better and are a better size, also the analog sticks are way smoother than the fusion pro 2
Does anyone else have a problem with the party chat sound with these? I was told that all wired controllers do this but I could hear a subtle hum or something on my end and my friends said it was obnoxious on their end. I returned the controller after using it for an hour. I'm using Astro A40s with the mix amp if that matters. :(
Surprised no one has answered you. Try adjusting the slider for mic monitoring. My issue personally is that I can never get my wireless mic to work with a wired controller. Hope my tip helps you though. :3
Very nice comparison! Do you think that the razer wolverine tournament edition is worth over the fusion pro 2 if the price of both controllers are same? Also, I heard that the razer controller broke easily, but how do you think about it?
All controllers break easily, but Razer has a solid warranty. The PowerA paddles will degrade in quality quickly from regular use. The Razer Controllers will not have that issue. The cheap paddles on the PowerA seriously degrade the experience to the point where I use Razer.
I've had the wolverine for around 7 months now and after daily heavy use it still works perfectly for me only thing that I don't like are the rubber grips which are hard to clean
Hmmm. I like the thumbsticks better on the PowerA so I would go with it based on that, but I still love those two extra buttons near the bumpers and triggers on the Wolverine TE but most games I don’t use them as much
@@Dropmop same after over a year, my wolverine has some slightly looser sticks and some Thumbstick wear. That's about it. Not even enough to drift or anything like that.
I still have my original PowerA Fusion Pro controller and I really liked it a lot but after months of using it all the time the braided cable started to peel on me and the wire started showing on it. The whole cord didn’t tear up on me but after using it the controller started messing up on me because of the cord, I got it in 2018 so my 2 year warranty is up on it. Now because of that I’m kind of iffy about if I want to get the Fusion Pro 2 and I’m probably going to upgrade to a Series X soon so idk if I’ll get the Fusion Pro 2 with the Series X if I’m able to get one.
When i bought the powerA 1 controller i was so excited about the paddles, but in the end i couldn’t use them, because i kept on clicking them accidentally. I would say the built in paddles, just like the spectra ones are better. I might cop the PowerA 2 one tho, since my Old one broke when it fell on the floor. The headset jack was just fully broken so i threw it across my entire room.
People hate bc they are wired but I find this brand to make better product than Microsoft does😅 Xbox controllers get stick drift so quick but the power a is always perfect. Mine has a slight bit of stick drift when I turn dead zone all the way down but that probably from being knocked off the counter. I don’t have the fusion but I have the spectre infinity and I love it.
Imo the v1 panels aren't hard to press at all. However the v2 panels feel like a part of the controller where as the v1 panels feel like an attachment in comparison...if that makes since. Both controllers are great! Been singing the praises for almost 2 years now
wow, in my opinion not worth. its virtually the same and im honestly upset. i was excited when i saw a version two i was hoping they improved the trigger stops to have a much shorter length on tier there for FPS. But sadly not.
had the fusion pro def better then all the trsh ass elites the pro 2 looks nice also there is the enhanced version which is the same but with buttons instead of paddles

which one should i get? ive never bought a fusion controller before, the fusion 2 controllers volume thing would be useless for me though since i am on pc
@@lokey2544 the v2 is a better quality controller for sure but either one would serve you well no doubt. I have no complaints at all about mine. If you don't need the volume button or the capture button you can just save some money and get the v1. Soon as you pick up the controller regular Xbox controllers will feel cheap in comparison
@@jeffreyprice9790 I bought the v2 yesterday :) thanks for the comment cant wait for it to arrive, do you know if it’s possible to take out the volume button, does it get in the way of you playing?
Also does the volume button work without something plugged into it? Could it change the volume on my headset even though I have it connected to my pc and not the controller? If the controller is connected to the pc obviously
@@lokey2544 the volume button doesn't effect your headset volume. I'll try to explain. My headset has its own volume toggle which is separate from the console volume. On my Xbox the volume button affects my master volume of the system but doesn't actually turn down the volume of the headset itself. Idk how it would work on PC exactly but if it's the same interaction then it could potentially work for you too. I get the most use out of it as a mute button anyway 😂. If you pushed the volume button in it mutes the mic but I'm sure that if it's plugged into the PC it wouldn't mute that but again I'm unsure.
