PDP RIFFMASTER Wireless Guitar Controller for PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4, PS5/PS4, Rock Band 4, Fortnite Festival, Audio Jack, Rechargeable Battery, Officially Licensed by Sony - Black

Love it! Great replacement. I was always holding onto broken guitars I would find at flea markets or whatever to Frankenstein my old guitar back to life. Finally a new one! Works flawlessly, great charge, no more batteries. Nice buttons. And the strum feels nice. Not as “clicky” as the Guitar Hero ones but not as “mushy” as the Rockband stratos. A perfect middle ground. It’s just so smooth.

The thing just works. It feeeeels better than my older Guitar Hero and Rock Band controllers. I even bought the CRKD Gibson model controller, but it doesn't feel as good playing as it does with this one. I got it for my old Xbox 360 (tons of DLC songs), and with a Roll Limitless Mini adapter, the Xbox One Riffmaster TOTALLY works on the 360 with all the functions available. The cool thing...the CRKD doesn't activate Star Power when you tilt the controller. The Riffmaster does! You need to hit that rectangular button on the strum/pickup bar. Possible if you use the strum bar at the very bottom and you hit the heel of your palm on it, but it does mess with your strumming. You need to plan your hits LOL SImply tilt the Riffmaster. It works beautifully. It feels fairly solid for a plastic controller, but don't go thrashing it around. Take care of it and it will simply work for you. Also, it's 18-Nov today and I finally charged it after first setting it up in Mid-August using it on weekends for a few hours each day. I'm satisfied with battery life. One thing I've found is that it doesn't play while wired, which is fine, but I have to wait to charge it first instead of "play-n-charge". One little gripe I have is that it only comes in black. I'm getting another one and painting it to look like EVH's scheme! It wouldn't be a bad idea to have other colors available. I guess manufacture of different color models may be cost prohibitive, so to the hobby store I go for some paints or maybe a wrap/decal set. Don't go on eBay and pay 100-200 bux for a 15 year-old OEM controller that's in so-so shape. This will cure all your GH & RB itches \m/

I was on the hunt for a guitar controller to use for Clone Hero, so initially I was looking at a bunch of used guitars from old guitar hero games, but always got skeptical buying any because of quality concern or if they even worked properly, and then any of the like-new to brand new ones I would find were way too expensive to justify buying them, and even further more I know that there’s custom modding for guitar hero guitars but I just wasn’t ready to make that type of investment, because those are the most expensive of all….then after awhile I stumbled upon this thing. It’s very good for what it is, but there’s some pros and cons that I’m about to list to help you make your decision. Pros: • The build quality is very nice. You can tell that PDP made sure this thing is gonna last you a while. • It’s wireless, and also has a rechargeable battery. Super convenient for my set up. • The buttons feel good and smooth and the same for the strum bar. • It’s got a small analog stick on the back of the neck to use on the Xbox for the Fortnite guitar hero-like game mode they created to navigate menus so that’s a plus. • It’s also foldable which is very nice for storage • It’s brand new! No need to worry about a broken guitar. Cons: • For me this is more neutral but I can see this as a con for a lot of people, but this guitar is a Rockband guitar. It has the exact soft sort of mushy feel, and button/strum bar style as a traditional Rockband guitar so if those aren’t your thing then you probably aren’t going to like this one, but for me I don’t mind at all. • If you’re buying the Xbox version like I did (I have a Series X so it made sense) then in order for you to use this on PC it is not plug and play like the PlayStation version is. You need to install 2 pieces of software: ViGEmBus, and RB4Instrument mapper in order for Clone Hero to detect the guitar. (at least right now at the time of this review). The only thing to note is that if you choose the PlayStation version, it does not have tilt function or whammy function according to other people’s reviews but the Xbox one does after setting up the pieces of software. • It isn’t the cheapest thing in the world, but to me it’s worth an investment because it plays very well and will last a long time since it’s new. • If you're someone that does those extreme tap shredding CH charts like the ones the streamer Açaí does, this guitar isn’t exactly set up for that kind of thing so it probably wouldn’t be ideal for you. I’m sure it’s possible but I’ve heard from many people that Rockband guitars just aren’t ideal for that style of playing. All in all, this thing is extremely solid for regular people that came from Guitar Hero that wanna play some of their favorite songs and more custom ones with ease. 9.5/10 guitar controller that I think most people will love.

I was advertised this product on social media and bought it based on influencer videos and reviews. I first used the controller for Rock Band 4 on my PS5 and it worked great. Fret buttons and strum bar are just like a Rock Band controller. The joystick on the back of the neck is a fun feature but often I forget its there and almost never use it, but it doesn't get in the way while you're playing. The start and select buttons are kind of close to where I have my pinky finger while playing so I will often hit those buttons accidentally while I'm playing. This controller will work on Clone Hero but it does require a bit of setup and unfortunately I can not get the tilt (star power) or whammy bar to work in Clone Hero. The glossy finish shows a lot of finger prints on the body. I haven't had any problems with the buttons or anything deteriorating after a year and about 200 hours of heavy use. Overall this controller is a little over-priced but not a terrible value, just make sure to do a little shopping around first before going for the Riffmaster specifically.

Works great on Ps5, Ps4 and PC too!

Gros joueurs de guitar hero et rock band, j'ai construit une borne arcade sous winPE avec clone hero et YARG, et je recherchais une guitar fiable pour aller avec le tout. Le soucis, peu de choix a l'heure actuelle, une seul guitar vraiment fiable mais hors de prix et d'occasion la fender sans fil de rockband. J'ai eu vent de cette guitare qui avais de bon retour, avec un prix un peu élevé pour un jouet plastique mais fiable pour jouer en difficulté expert. A aujourd'hui je confirme les échos que j'avais eu. Plug and play, de bonne factures, si je devais être tatillon je dirais que la gâchette de gratte devrais être plus dur comme les guitare de guitar hero 2 et 3, on l'on ressentais vraiment la gratte. Dans tout les cas superbe produit

Molto figo, mi sto divertendo come quando ero bambino. Da batterista apprezzerei parecchio se facessero una cosa simile per la batteria per Rock Band 4 o simili!

The guitar does not connect to its dongle. Tried every possible way official and through reddit to get it to connect to Xbox or PC.

PCのgitadora（コナステ版）のギターフリークスで動作確認済み。Xbox版です。 ギターフリークスは本コントローラーに公式に対応してるわけではありませんが、ドライバーをインストールすれば認識しました。 ワイヤレスなのですが遅延は感じません。ギターを倒す動作が若干シビアで、かなり立てないといけませんが、不満はそれぐらいかな？ キーもピックもかなりやりやすいですし、音楽ゲームで使えるレベルに遅延の少ないワイヤレスはいいですよ。 公式専用コントローラーやギタラーという類似商品はいずれも4万円、かつ品切れ中ですので、実質現在選択できる唯一無二のものです。それが1万円とはいい買い物でした！
