      Are you playing on Xbox? Mine has done this a couple times in the last 2 months. I'll get a pop up on my screen that says "Xbox controller disconnected". I then have to hold down the Xbox button on the controller for a couple seconds until the prompt "What do you want to do - Turn off console, Turn of controller, or Restart console" would normally appear. Even though the prompt doesn't visually show up, I click right on the D-pad then A. It turns the light off on the controller and allows me to turn it back on and it's connected again. I hope it's just a weird bug that gets fixed with an update.

    1. Are there any problems to wake up console with this controller? Does it works like M$ controller [push guide button and console starts] ?
    2. Any issues / prblems to connect originl M$ cintroler and Fusion Pro Lumetra at the same time?
    3. Can i charge it with docking station plugged "into wall" ?
    4. Turtle beach has cool feature: I can connect the usb dongle into docking station, and docking station with one cable into console.. so i save 1 usb port.... does tis controller also works wireless with dongle in docking station?

      2. No issues at all with connecting them at the same time.
      3. Yes, and you can plug it into the console too.
      4. Unfortunately, it does not.

    Nice review, I was waiting for it to come out and waiting for a review here. It's 200 here in Australia, which is comparable to the elite 2. How does it do with COD MW3 and what game is that your playing, looks up my alley? Also, is it a quiet controller? I play in bed a lot in bed on my gaming pc next to my wife who goes to bed earlier than me and I would like something quieter than the xbox controller that came with my series x.

      Thank you for that. Let's see if I can answer all your questions.
      First, I'm not a CoD player, so unfortunately I can't attest to how it plays in that case. Sorry about that.
      Second, the game I'm playing is Exoprimal. If you like dinosaurs, exosuits, and third person online shooters, you'll really like it.
      Third, it is quiter than the Series X standard controller, but not super quiet, especially the bumper buttons.
      I hope that helped out a bit.

  • @jinbiezel683

    Just unboxed and threw on the charger right away so I can test it out. You're right about the ghost lighting, it's so sick! So much so that I actually decided that even if there was something about the controller I didn't care for too much I was gong to keep it just to show off the lighting to my friends, lol.
    I wanted to ask you, when you place the controller on the charger (which i Love the fact that it comes with an internal battery and a charger, so you don't have to keep removing batteries to charge them) the RGB lighting immediately turns on. This is how I first saw it. Is there any way that you know of to turn off the lighting while charging, because it seems like this would just increase the amount of time it takes to charge.
    Thanks for the review, although I was surprised you didn't cover/use the mappable buttons in your review. Do you not use those when you game? I am coming from the GameSir G7 SE and the only thing that was lacking was 2 more mappable buttons. Otherwise I think it is the best 3rd party controller for the Series X. Once I started using the back buttons for the first time on the GameSir and finally got used to using them, I am no longer able to play (fortnite) without them, and tbh I don't know how people play games like this without back buttons on their controller. The GameSir is my favorite controller to date, so I'm Really excited to try the Fusion. Have owned Fusions in the past and think they are great. The fact that I don't have to use Kontrol Freaks any more, 4 back buttons, all the controls on the back (or the app), and of course that super sick lighting, all make this a Pro controller at an amazing price.
    Oh yeah, and it's freaking wireless!!
    Thanks again for the review, and let me know if you know how to disable the lighting while charging.

The fact that the Fusion Pro Wireless is missing those, the mechanical ABXY buttons, and worse trigger stops…man. I was hoping it would be essentially a copy/paste, just pricier due to Xbox wireless licensing.

      Definitely not true. The RGB makes it stand out amongst the crowd. Mechanical buttons aren't as great or useful as some tend to believe. The Vader 4 Pro is good, but definitely falls short of the Fusion, since it has limited compatibility and does not work with Xbox One or Series X/S.

    I've already seen multiple complaints on Amazon about the thumbsticks on the ops v3 pro getting scratched, and it looks like this controller uses the exact same design.
    Such a shame they didn't use good quality anti-friction rings, because that was one of the biggest issues with the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra.
    Also, those trigger stops looking fairly underwhelming for a controller at this price.
    Very disappointed, but I'm hoping the Gamesir G7 Pro will be much better.
