PowerA Launches Colorful Line of Enhanced Controllers for Xbox One

WOODINVILLE, Wash., June 12, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- PowerA, an industry leader in video game and mobility accessories, today announced a new stylish and affordable line of Enhanced Wired Controllers for the Xbox One, designed for gamers of all ages and levels. The new controllers feature mappable "Advanced Gaming Buttons" on back, allowing players to configure the buttons to match their specific style, give them a competitive advantage, and improve their overall gaming experience. With a new form-factor and improved ergonomics, the Enhanced Wired Controllers offer Xbox players a comfortable and familiar feel, with the quality and "playability" of a premium controller at an affordable price point. Best of all, the new controller lineup offers a broad variety of colors and styles allowing gamers to customize their experience, and "play your way."

"We wanted to offer a first-class controller that provided the best possible value while adding enhanced functionality. It also had to look great and incorporate a comfortable, ergonomic feel," said PowerA's Senior Director of Product Development, Jason Biheller. "With a development team made up of passionate gamers, every new product we create always starts with the gamer in mind."  

In addition to the mappable Advanced Gaming Buttons, the unique design of the Enhanced Wired Controllers also features dual rumble motors, a 3.5 mm stereo headset jack and all the basics including precision-tuned analog sticks, plus-shaped D-pad and a standard button layout, ensuring gamers never miss a beat. By choosing a more affordable wired controller with the added benefit of reduced lag, gamers also don't have to worry about expensive batteries or recharging mid-game. The limited Camo and Fade series are available now, exclusively at GameStop.

We've been listening to feedback from our customers and retail partners on how to make it better, and the result is the new Enhanced Wired Controller we're announcing today, said Eric Bensussen, president of PowerA.
