We tested the AX.1 in first person shooters, racing sims, and fighting titles and it fared perfectly. In fact, despite the fact that it feels slightly daintier, the AX.1 is as responsive as its first-party cousin, if not more so. At $29.99, the AX.1 is $10 cheaper than the wired Xbox 360 controller, and while that is clearly reflected in the build quality, it isn't necessarily a deal breaker. To the former point, the AX.1 feels lighter and cheaper than the first-party version, because, well, it is.
Despite the similarities in form, the two feel completely different, and obviously, one is clear and glows, the other does not. The size and shape of the body, along with the button interface and trigger mechanisms are all fairly similar to the first-party controller. The AX.1 is an officially licensed third-party wired Xbox 360 controller, which enabled PDP the ability closely mimic the original Xbox 360 controller in terms of form factor.
#360 AFTERGLOW CONTROLLER PS3#
We had an opportunity to check out the AP.1, PDP's PS3 solution earlier this week, now we're taking a closer look at the AX.1, the Xbox 360 variation.
PDP's line of AfterGlow controllers for Xbox 360, PS3, and Wii seek to do just that. While many manufacturers seek to add extra visual flair to the core framework of the official Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Wii controllers, few actually manage to match or improve upon their performance. When it comes to third-party controllers, finding the right balance of form and function is no easy task.
