The Xbox Advantage Wired controller with Lumectra by PowerA is an exceptional way to game and brighten your life. This vivid controller is obnoxiously bright, and I adored its garish approach. Furthermore, PowerA has enhanced its game with a free-to-download app. Consequently, you no longer need to settle for their colour palette. Instead, you can customise this accessory to your heart’s content.
Alongside this, it comes with a short but useful LED light strip. As such, you can sync the controller and the light strip to generate a gloriously vibrant hue. On top of this, the controller has many elite features. This was impressive as this wired controller won’t break the bank.

Technical aspects.
No matter the price, I expect a controller to be responsive, comfortable, and familiar. Thankfully, the Xbox Advantage Wired controller with Lumectra ticks these boxes. Moreover, it has some exceptional features that you wouldn’t expect at this price point. For example, it has 3-way trigger locks and impulse triggers for enhanced realism.
On top of this, there are mappable rear buttons to enhance your gaming experience further. These well-placed inputs can be altered on the fly and that is great if you flit between games. Additionally, you can adjust both the LED light strip and the controller lights using the rear buttons. Thanks to the built-in IR sensor, your lighting display can be adjusted or extinguished at the touch of a button.
Build quality.
The Xbox Advantage Wired controller with Lumectra is officially licenced to the Xbox brand. As such, you know it is built to the highest standards. What was particularly good about this device, however, was its weight, familiar button location, and ergonomic design. Moreover, I loved the tactile grips and the responsive nature of each button.
This comfortable but heavy controller may surprise you. Yet, I loved the reassuringly heavy design and how great it felt in my hands. Furthermore, the outer shell is robust and can withstand some minor roughhousing. The ergonomic design and the grips were perfect for extended gaming sessions. During testing, I never felt fatigued and there was no risk of it slipping from my hands.
The 3-way trigger lock and the impulse triggers make this controller stand out from the crowd. The trigger locks give you a competitive edge, whereas the impulse triggers deliver a rumble feature that enriches your experience.
LED lighting.
Technically, the Xbox Advantage Wired controller with Lumectra is identical to the PowerA Advantage Wired controller that Andrew Edney reviewed. However, the RGB and LED lighting are the key differences. This incredibly vibrant controller has 4 unique colour areas that can be customised using the PowerA app. Moreover, there are 3 lighting settings to customise things further.
If that isn’t enough, you can sync the controller and the LED strip to create a complementary and vivid gaming space. This was fantastic, as your TV, monitor, or desk will look as great as the controller you are holding.
Is the Xbox Advantage Wired controller with Lumectra worth it?
This accessory blew my mind! The in-built RGB creates a gaming experience that usually costs a fortune. Additionally, the mappable buttons, 3-way trigger locks, and impulse triggers deliver next-level gaming. Furthermore, the wired connection is secure and responsive. Accordingly, I love this controller and I recommend that you buy it here!
