PowerA Battle Dragon™ Wireless Controller for PC and Cloud Gaming: Magnetic Hall Effect, Asymmetric Rumble Motors, 20h Playtime (Not for iOS)

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 feedback2. 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.

This controller is fantastic . Probably has the best Hall effect joysticks and triggers. Build quality and gameplay is super premiumCircularity test shows a 10-12% similar to first party Xbox or dual sense controllers due to a squarish output . Not a flaw, in fact gives fantastic gameplay due to games being designed for squarish inputProsSuper smooth sticksAwesome unmatched design, 4 mappable buttons, trigger locks and buildLong battery life around 16-20 hoursConsDoesn’t work with iosNoteWhile calibrating , there is chance due to delay , you may end up switching from XINPUT to direct input . All your buttons and stick functions get exchangedNOTHiNG toWORRY, just press select and start for 3 seconds and wait. It will switch back to XINPUT. Same thing if u connect to Android by OTG, when u connect back to PC, just switch back to XINpUt . Faced this issue and took some time to figure.

That golden drgaon really took this to the next level...This is one of the most amazing, look and feel controller in the market but the few issues:1. I played god of war just out of the box it worked fine but after calibration with the steam it stopped working on god of war and the motor also stopped working.2. never worked on BT.3 Calibration via their app or manual calibration sucks it just does do the calibration properly.so i returned it as the calibration isn't working. Guys if you are buying remember that even if you did calibrate it for once you are done for good.

Amazing really good for pc and cloud gaming and also brought the moga 2.0 clip, both of them works like a charm, its just a little heavy

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

First impressions : Feels okay to hold ( neither light nor heavy), buttons are clicky and smooth so are the triggers.Shortcomings:1) App support : App is hard to find. You have to visit PowerA chinese website to find the PowerA Battle Dragon App executables.2) Bluetooth connectivity didn't work at all. I was able to connect via USB and adaptor only.3) Rumble force on the right side was not strong enough.Durability : I have no idea how long this controller will last. Will update here in few months.I am giving 3 stars for now, will make it 4 if it lasts long.

I am using powerA wired since last 5 years, and after 5 years the analog stick started giving contact issues. I did try to repair the old one but destroyed the board by mistake, the internal hardware is of very good quality, they use metal analog sticks, the replacements were all plasticSo I decided to buy this one mainly because of hall effect sensors. first impressions are good, build quality is good enough, PC HQ software is nice, allows customization of buttons, deadzone etcMany users reported drift issue, and I can confirm that there is a minor drift at the centre, but this is not an issue at all! just set the inner deadzone to 5% on both sticks in the PCHQ app and the idle drift disappearsI mostly play racing and roleplaying games with gamepad no complaints. I will update this review if I find any issues later
