Literally the best Xbox controller I've ever used. It does work for Windows 11 And what's special about this controller for anyone that is curious about it. It does Play PC games, Yes.. It plays steam games if your curious and looking for a controller for steam. But you can use the controller for other things like a Xbox One, S and X series. Love the functionality of the PDP app. Very customizable colors to choose from. And remapping the buttons is so simple and easy Without no complaints, The only downside I really don't like about this controller is that I just wish it was wireless. but I guess you get what you pay for.... Other then that. It's worth every penny! It does give it a cheap feeling in the hand but that's okay. 45 bucks you can't complain. but overall. very happy with my purchase! I rate this controller five stars. Had absolutely no problems plugging in into my laptop and using it for the first time. Do not hesitate to get this controller if you really like custom RGB colors. Very worth it!

Great Performance & Customization with the PDP Afterglow Wave Controller
I picked up the PDP Afterglow Wave Wired LED Controller a little over a year ago for my Xbox Series X, and I’ve been thoroughly impressed with its performance and customization options ever since. The ergonomic design immediately stood out to me—it’s comfortable in my hands even during long gaming sessions. The buttons are responsive and clicky, making gameplay feel smooth and engaging.
One of my favorite features is the customizable LED lighting. The ability to adjust the colors and effects gives my setup a personal touch that’s fun to play around with. Plus, the app support is a huge bonus, allowing me to easily adjust settings and lighting without interrupting my gameplay. It’s nice to have that level of control over the look of the controller.
I’ve used the controller on my Xbox Series X, Xbox One, and even on my Windows 10 PC, and it has performed flawlessly on all platforms. The wired connection ensures a stable, lag-free experience, which is crucial for competitive gaming. I haven’t experienced any connectivity issues or delays during intense gaming sessions, which has made a noticeable difference in my overall performance.
Overall, I’m extremely happy with my purchase. If you’re looking for a controller that combines excellent performance with cool customization options, I highly recommend the PDP Afterglow Wave. It’s definitely been a game-changer for my setup over the past year!

10 dollar increase from previously bought "pdp rematch advanced wired controller" and can really feel the difference in production quality. shoulder and back buttons dont feel like theyre connected by string, feels sturdy. can customize different colors for each section if you want, set brightness and light actions like wave/pulse but its too distracting for me lol just keep it on static and single color low brightness

Aesthetic looking controller, make people jealous

When I got this controller, I was maidenless. I am no longer maidenless.
Make yourself look rich while you cope and seethe for the next nvidia graphics card to drop in price.
Button press feeling wise, its no Xbox Elite controller, but it does its job fine. There are advantages and disadvantages towards different style of D-pads, so thats a personal preference to figure out.
The two buttons on the bottom could be better placed I think. I sometimes find myself accidentally pressing them. In this regard, i think the Xbox Elite controllers are better, even though official brand wireless controllers are ridiculously expensive.
Remember when a wireless xbox one controller was $60? A current gen WIRED controller is now $60. At least PS controllers have the excuse of having a touchpad and maybe motion control/gyros. (This was about $40 for me, so fair price)
I like the lighting, but what I would like to have in a controller like this would be buttons that each had their own gentle lighting. The ABXY buttons, d-pad, bumper and toggles, the start and select buttons. Each lighting up as well. The D-pad buttons just having a small light strip or whatever it is thats done for lighting.
One thing i absolutely disagree with is the proprietary software. Make an account and verify your product just to change your lighting settings? This knocks off a star.
If you program it right, the lighting firmware should only be accessible by the software anyways, so that the product looses some function once 5-10 years pass and the software somehow gets cancelled, terminated, or stops being supported; gently convincing you to buy a new one. i just dont see what kind of theft/piracy is being prevented here.
Overall, affordable. +1 Charisma

The app only works on windows machines, its not a phone app, which took a little while tp figure out. Other than that, thr customization is easy and robust. The LEDs are bright and the controller has nice, clicky buttons, good joysticks and no lag.
