PowerA Battle Dragon™ Advanced Wireless Controller for PC & Cloud Gaming: Magnetic Hall Effect, Asymmetric Rumble Motors, 30h Playtime (Not for iOS)

A really well-made product. It's sturdy and heavy, giving you a premium feel. Being wireless is a plus, as you don't have to be wired up all the time. The additional programmable buttons let you go all-out in your favourite games. The battery backup is good, as well. I have accidentally dropped the controller a few times, and there is no noticeable damage. In conclusion, a really good product at an affordable and worthy price.

it's a very good controller with hard and steady plastic build quality is very good. only one issue that is drifting. other wise best control

Excellent controller for the price. I was jsing cheap ant esports controller , then i mobed to cosmicbyte ARES controller , then powerA battle dragon core , finally purchased this one. Its worth it. Pros:- ---------- 1. Excellent joysticks feedback 2. XYAB and Dpad and LB RB all are mechanical. It gives awesome feedback while playing like a 4k rs mouse. 3. Battery is 800mah but for me lasts about 16-17 hours and more easily. 4. Trigger lock 3 stages are there. Its very useful in fps shooters. 5. 1000hz wired and 500hz wireless polling rate. Extremely useful and responsive. 6. 4 macro buttons which can be assigned to even LSB and RSB ones and obviously any other keys also using the program button. 7. When battery dies you can chatge and llay at the same time using given usb c cable. 8. Dongle is very well built and provides very good wirelless 2.4Ghz strength without latency. 9. Looks and feels awesome. 10. Packaging and powerA app for windows are great. Cons:- ---------- 1. Polling rate is 1000 hz in cosmicbyte blitz in wireless mode. But it is discontinued i guess , can't find it anywhere. 2. I checked using gamepad tester in pc, the sticks have an avg error of 8-16% in both sticks , which is not acceptable at this price point. As similar priced gamesir g7 has 0.1-0.5% stick error. But this doesn't affect gameplay for me. Its ot noticeable also. Overall a great controller with many features for the price. If u have around 7-8k budget can go for battle dragon pro wireless lumectra of 7.2k price. Or if u have 10-12k budget u can go for PowerA fusion pro wireless lumectra which has cool rgb and excellent controller for 10k.

USB and RF modes work fine. Bluetooth mode works only with D-input. The games I tried so far didn't work with some jumbled key bindings only. Not sure if there is a way to change the Bluetooth mode to X-input. Apart from that looks nice and comes with long rubber covers for the sticks. Works with "PowerA PC HQ" Windows app. Mappings can be changed from there. No rubber grips, so it slips a bit. EDIT: Some games don't detect USB or RF mode as well. Using XOutput software works on all modes. The screen capture button does not work at all. EDIT 2: Made with cheap quality plastic, the stick broke from the inside in 4 months. Poor customer support, waiting for a replacement for about one month. they just keeps closing the ticket and create new ones, and phone number they shared to know status of warranty replacement is always switched off. And ACCO doesn't even manage pickup in Gurgaon, I had to parcel it myself

Commendable delivery by amazon, item got delivered in perfect condition within a day, trust me their service is so much superior compared to other services who use third party for logistics. As for the product , it exceeded my expectations. Feels very premium it has hall sense sticks which even premium controllers don't use. It comes with a usb dongle and usb type c cable and a pair of grips for sticks. I couldn't test the bluetooth mode but wireless mode through dongle worked flawlessly. I bought this for playing casual games and it turned out to be more than what I expected. The only minor issue i faced was during testing the left stick showed very little drift behavior don't know why it was very subtle though, but after calibrating it i didn't see it. Definitely go for i, t quality and build feels premium which is the most important thing for a good experience.

So i am using this controller for about two months. I have used many controllers so far this is the best one.. Yes there are some issues with the controller like: - there are drift issues when you check on controller tester and error rate is also high for controller with the price. But to be honest no issues in gameplay i have tried it with many games. Hall effect sticks feels and feedback is really good. - Vibration feedback is not even, like right vibrator moter has a low frequency and left moter is more powerfull which feels off in starting. But now it feels great.. vibration feedback is so good and premium like you can actually feel machines footsteps in horizon forbidden west. -built quality is premium. -button quality and micro buttons feels great. -adjustable triggers are very useful. - only draw back is you cannot map combos in macro button. 4.5/5

This is a tentative review for the PowerA Battle Dragon™ Advanced Wireless Controller just after unboxing the device and testing it for a couple of hours. Build Quality and Aesthetics: Feels decent for the price, the grip and the surface of the shoulder, trigger and extra back buttons are textured, but it's basically patterned micro-ridges on the plastic, so it may feel harsh on some hands. Directional keys, ABXY and the shoulder buttons have mechanical switches so it feels quite nice and is responsive. The aesthetics are pretty appealing as well, I especially like the fact that the eye of the dragon decal lines perfectly with the front LED button, and the golden decal on the Advanced version of this controller is also pretty cool. No RGB lights but that's a pro for me. The weight is just right, neither too heavy nor too light like the flimsy cheaper controllers. Cannot comment on durability or longevity yet because I've just bought it. Will update this review later to reflect that. Functionality: I tested all three connectivity methods and it works alright. The USB C connector is a bit hard to get in the controller's USB C port, and there is no cover guard over it like some other PowerA controllers so it is slightly wobbly, but still firmly attached. Otherwise the USB cable is decently long (about 1.5 meters) and thick, but it's not braided, just has regular plastic insulation. The 2.4 GHz dongle is compact and offers adequate connectivity. I will update regarding the consistency of the connection later after some use. The bluetooth mode worked alright on my phone, but it malfunctioned on my Windows 11 laptop, while it connects to it, the button detection is messed up and even the PowerA PC HQ app doesn't recognize the controller as connected while on bluetooth mode. I suspect it has something to do with the bluetooth drivers on Windows 11. Will update if I manage to figure it out, but it's something to keep in mind if you plan using this over bluetooth. The PowerA PC HQ app itself seems to work fine. It has options to test and calibrate the controller, button mapping for the extra back buttons, turbo mode, sensitivity and deadzone settings for the joysticks and triggers, and vibration rumble force intensity options. You can also turn off vibration completely which I like. One thing to note is that the Y button might sometimes not register as pressed within the app, but it actually works alright when tested on an online gamepad tester. Stick Drift and Circularity: As can be seen in the attached screenshots, there is some very minor error in the calibration which makes the joysticks stay slightly off center, but it isn't actually drifting since it is not sending any continuous signal input. This can probably be adjusted in the app but it's not causing any problems. Regarding the 10% error in circularity, it seems these joysticks are built with an octagonal pathway as can be seen in the trace in the last image. IT seems pretty uniform and doesn't seem to cause any issues with gameplay. Overall, it is acceptable for the price and minor issues can be circumvented with the app. That is about it for now. I will test more with gameplay and latency and see how it holds up over time, as well as update about the battery life after further use. With the amount of features, it is definitely worth the price, especially since it is about half that of controllers with similar features and build quality. I would definitely recommend getting a cover case for it though since I learned from experience that dust and humidity kills a controller faster than anything.

I have recently bought this product and used for atleast a month so my honest reviews are it's an amazing controller trust me like as it will automatically be supporting almost all ur laptop or pc games no need to map keys or anything. Has great quality texture and triggers and joystic feels amazing. Trust me will love playing racing and story mode games with it, the vibration u feel and response u will feel it will make u immerse more into game. Like it was my first good controller so I loved it.
