PDP RIFFMASTER Wireless Guitar Controller for Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, Windows 10/11 PC, Rock Band 4, Fortnite Festival, Audio Jack, Rechargeable Battery, Officially Licensed by Microsoft – Black

got this for my PC. works great for every gmae i needed it for, relatively plug and play with the exception of clone hero. my gatherings so far:- this is a rock band-style guitar but much improved. the fret buttons are a bit clickier and less mushy. my guess is different switches. the buttons don't stick like a normal rock band guitar, they feel very snappy.-the design feels strangely ergonomic. playing songs and sections that usually hurt my hands or tire me out don't on this guitar. feels very smooth to play on.-strumbar is mushy like it would be on a rock band guitar but also feels much better and more accurate than strumbars on rock band guitars normally do. strumming sections feel way easier on this.-it's not as bad for the "tap shredding" charts as some people have said in the reviews. it feels fine for pattern-tapping songs, but admittedly not nearly AS good or consistent as something like a wii guitar hero controller would. i will say the latency feels the lowest out of any wireless controller i have ever tried, though.in conclusion, i got this for clone hero because my older guitars were starting to fall apart on me. decided why not get the new one, and honestly, i think it was worth it. i'm loving it so far and i'd recommend it to anybody else that was in the same position i was in. but if you prefer GH-style guitars, i'd also recommend maybe holding out until CRKD's les paul-style guitar drops.

I was so glad to find this so I could play Rock Band 4 on my Xbox Series X! It works perfectly once you insert the usb receiver into the USB slot on the Xbox. The guitar controller folds in two, yet is very sturdy and rigid when put together to play. Everything is perfectly responsive and it makes for a great time. It has a 3.5mm jack for headphones and a microphone if you like to play silently. Speaking of silent, the buttons don't make those annoying clicking sounds like the original controllers. The ONLY gripe I have with the guitar controller is that you must activate your star power with the D-pad. It usually makes you lose your streak and possibly miss a few notes. But that's it! Highly reccomended from an avid fan of Guitar Hero and Rock Band.

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.

Best guitar controller that's come out in years (haha, since it's the only one). But seriously it's solid quality. A bit overpriced, which is why I gave it four stars. Battery life could be a little longer, but it's not bad.

My wife and I recently wanted to get back into guitar hero or rock band. If you look for the guitars on ebay or other websites they charge a ridiculous amount for them. This guitar is a reasonable price and honestly out performs all the old guitars. I love that the guitar folds for easy storage, the buttons feel nice and are silent so no annoying clacking like the old guitars. I also love how easy it is to connect the guitars to your console or computer and the battery life is amazing. Definitely happy with these.
