How do i fix my mic problem because when using the controller on xbox they say i sound like im talking through a microwave
@@steveschadt9262 you can't.. I have the same problem...
For the mic issue, just mute the controller and plug mic into your console or pc
I had the "humming" sound on my controller as well on xbox. The only fix I found personally for it was in the party options. While in a party with a friend, I went to options/Audio settings/ Mic Monitoring. I turned Mic Monitoring all the way down and the humming went away entirely. My friend also said he couldn't here the humming anymore either. I hope that helps for others having that issue. I haven't had the humming sound since. Everything seems to be working just fine.
Awesome tip!!!!!
Yeah but with low mic monitor do you have to speak loudly for some people, cuase we all know there are idiots out there with stupid headset that's always go what, I can't hear you yet our 300 hundred dollar headsets boom is basically on our lips
You sure other people can’t hear it?My mic still lights up
@@skeeter3969 Lol yeah. You can still be heard clearly. If it is an issue, you can turn up your volume in the party settings. They can also do the same if they "can't" hear you clearly.
@@Dreadnought225 They shouldn't. I have noticed when using different cords for the controller, my name would pop up on the party overlay. My friends say they can't hear anything, but I think it does buzz. The buzz sound is very, very low though. But cords could play a part in the buzzing too.
I bought a very similar controller from the same brand. It had light up customizable LED lights, the mic option and a braided wire very heavy duty and very long. And there are two multiple pedals in the back. For customizing buttons. The fact that I don't have to keep doing batteries, and the cord is very heavy duty is a plus for me. The version I had even has rubber rings around the analog sticks to reduce tension. It's a great controller if you want to compete in games like call of duty without spending $250 on elite controller. I did notice Mike feedback, so you will have to adjust your audio settings.
ooo yes, that's their pro version of their controller. for sure a good one!
Is the controller still holding up? Any issues like stick drift or buttons not working properly? I'm assuming you were talkin about the spectra infinity version of his controller which comes with led lights . I am thinking of buying this one too so it would be helpful if you could give me short of long term review. Thanks
@@lovesonrana102 it held up pretty well I don't play anymore. Mostly just a little stick drift on the right analog because I play call of duty a lot but the buttons and everything are always good
Bought mine at Walmart. Nice feel and weight and has LEDs and mappable buttons. Very nice
same thoughts here~!
been using this controller for 3-4 years and I never had any major issues with it. Of course, some slight controller drift and button stiffness developed overtime, but that was just due to aging. The controller drift was little - none, and the button stiffness wasn’t too noticeable.
The fix to your problem is to put the mic threshold to 0 to stop the noise
going to try this thank you!!!
How do I do that
@@joshuanlezama5444 in game or on the audio settings on the console
Sorry if i bother you but where in settings
In game bro like warzone has a thing in game that lets you change it depends on what game you play bro
instant thumbs up and sub just for the intro :), full video was also great.
Hii! Thank you!! glad you liked it!
In my personal opinion the terrible mic quality is the deal breaker for me. I'm pretty much always on the mic with friends and when I got the controller they said I sounded like Duke Nukem. It also had horrible echo and a loud buzzing noise occasionally. If you like powerA controllers I would recommend the fusion pro instead even though it's an extra $40. It's basically the same thing but has 4 paddles instead of 2 and a lot of easily detachable parts so you can clean out the dust and replace broken buttons.
The mic/audio issue seems very hit or miss. My first Power A controller had no issues at all with my headset. The one I bought recently has a constant whine when I put in ear bud type headphones. I may test it with my older headset and see if the problem persists. Fortunately I now have a wireless headset so it's not really a make or break for me, just an oddity.
@@SauceMario idk if I’m too late but just turn mic monitoring all the way down
@@bruhxx0612 it still won’t work
dude if yoy always chating time to invest in wireless headset
Nice bought myself the purple one aswell, I liked using the original series controller but whenever i plugged it in the cable the bluetooth kept staying on to. I guess you cannot disable to bluetooth on them. This seems like a great controller without the constant bluetooth
You could have just unplugged the batteries.
My mic buzzes when I use this controller how do I fix?
Just ordered mine gets here today from Amazon. Its the silver color.
Good video bro 👍
Appreciate it!!!!
I just bought both the regular Xbox controller and the PowerA Enhanced Controller and I'm loving it right now.
How is the controller now?
@@HARSH-zl5qy Still working like a charm.
I noticed the hyperx cloud stingers work well with this controller,granted I have the 40$ one that glows or whatever but there the same so I don't think it matters.
Nice
I love this controller sooo much but only if they didn’t get stick drift so damn fast . I’ve went through 8 of these controllers in the past 2 years
would be dope if it was wireless as well! lol
Wow!!
I just got this but for 15 bucks from wal mart... I didn't argue with the lady... the box said 29.88. So I guess if it doesn't last long it won't bite back hard.
I bought the same one as you then, wish me luck.
@@justkorbii3180how is it so far, just copped it
I've had this controller for ONE WEEK and im already having problems with it. Unresponsive buttons, just overall glitchy asF. I have NEVER had any luck with after market Xbox controllers
@Death Adder facts! I have the white one gold d-pad everything works, except for diagonal jumping especially for fighting games! I use this controller strictly for racing games! It’s a 6 out of 10 for me
It’s not perfect but for the price its great. Just got one because the controller that came with my Xbox broke and it’s been fine.
I bought the official Xbox series x/s controller only to get stick drift in less than 3 months, I clean it and I’m gentle with it but damn it cost me £55.
@@bobafett9321 I got another controller after the series x one broke and that one did as well...now im poor and in dept and I cant play on my xbox...But now I can with this cheap ass controller
@@bobafett9321 guess not gentle enought i have never had drift and i have had my xbox for 1 year and a half
Can a wireless headset be used with this controller?
No you need to have a xbox adapter for wireless headset
The price of these compared too xbox is so worth the value
The noise is probably EMI from board design and audio passthrough, no fix.
The audio issue might be mic monitoring, im not 100% sure
going to try and mess around with that! thanks for the tip!
it’s not i tried
One question can you use an enhadced Xbox power controller connected by an adapter to a cell phone?
i believe you could but i haven't tested that myself!
@@Jpndiazz thanks broo
Editing game getting better n better less goo 😤😭😭
Trying my best out here 🥺
Hint: Your mic should be below and to the side of the mouth to prevent the pops when not using a pop filter.
am i the only person that saw the like button light up?
That issue with the mic happens with the official controller as well on my Xbox one s
no shot that happens on the official microsoft controllers too... lol
Bro I would pay $300 for a controller that has 100% no stick drift or any other problems but so fare no luck in finding one 😩
We all would... lol i felt that.
Bro FUCK that!
facts 😪
Thanks for he review. I just bought this since the original controllers keep havig stick drift (three already!!!). My original xbox one controller still holds up without errors. So I just bought this one for when a friend wants to join.
One question: does this one works wireless as well? If not, can I plug it in a power socket and can it contect to the xbox as well?
I bought one of these and it immediately had crazy issues with the left analog stick it barely works and when it does it goes in all kinds of spasms lol
How to turn it on
it's supposed to be plug and play
@@Jpndiazz had to unplug all my outlets on my Xbox to get it on thx
Hey man I have seen many reviews saying that this has stick drift so did you face any problem
Till now ?
It's a controller, they're all bound to get it. I have no experience drift as of right now but take into account that i mainly use this game for single player games, so my use is not as intense as someone playing online games with it.
@@Jpndiazz I am going to be use this for mostly FH4 and GTA so I hope it’s going to be fine
@@wizardjaguar7772 sounds like you should be solid! they have a pretty good warranty on the controllers from what I hear!
Underrated
you have no idea how happy this comment makes me, you made my day, seriously!!!!!!!
Should I get this controller or the spectra infinity for the series s
hey love the vid i was wondering does a kontrol freek fit on it
I love this controller never have to charge it
that's always a good feature!
I’ve just got one question, can you play with it wireless
wired only
I burly got this 2 days ago.. I haven't used a xbox controller in years. I personally prefer this one than the ps4 controller. I use on pc
good pick!
Awesome vid bro u definitely deserve more views and subs ;-;
This means a lot thank you 🙏🏻 😊
@@Jpndiazz np bro 😀
hey so i like power A controllers but i constantly see problems with mic register and just talking to people online not being good. my brother had one and his mic would not work so you had no problems with talking to people and mic register right?
I have a question all my PowerA Microsoft Xbox One Series X|S Enhanced Wired Controllers I get are usually the soldier green ones and every time I play with within a week it's the same issue the left stick will not start to drift and I'm not a hard-core gamer(not on xbox) it's usually the same stick and the same issue the left stick likes to drift to the right or if you go forward it'll sometimes make your cursor or character go slower or stop is this a wiring issue or am I the only one that this is happening to btw this is my 3rd controller already
Nice Gojo Satoru wallpaper 😳. But I’ll definitely think about getting that controller.
thank you!!! love my boy gojo haha (:
I seen a video once where you have the map the buttons every time you want to use it
2 controllers in 3 days, my mic is unbearably loud and no audio settings change it, I’ve searched everything to try to find a fix and can’t find anything
that's terrible!! sorry to hear!
That PDP mic doin no gud 💀
LMFAOOO it wasn’t as good as I thought it would be tbh 💀
@@Jpndiazz the mic in my 5 dollar earphone sounds better no cAp💀
@@insanified2938 I legit have no idea why it sounded so bad lol I have to mess around with it more 💀
I got one without a cable from my friend. For some reason it's not working with a random usb micro cable I found in my drawer. Is it broken?
I was wondering, can you replace the thumbsticks with regular xbox thumbsticks in case it has drift?
you probably could mod it, i've just never done so myself to be honest!
how is the controller holding up for you? i wanna get one but i can see really bad reviews about them on amazon.
it's a cheaper controller, if you're looking for high quality for sure get the elite's but if you just need something decent to get you by this is a good choice.
yo, you prolly wont respond since its been so long since the video came out, but i was wondering how the texture on the controller feels compared to the series x controller.
For me personally I really hate the new texturing they added to the series x controllers, much preferring the smooth almost polished finish on the classic Xbox one controllers.
On a scale of one to ten, 10 being smooth like the Xbox one and 1 being like the series x, how smooth is the texture on the PowerA enhanced?
It’s actually super smooth. it’s nothing like the elite controllers.
@@Jpndiazz i have a problem where whenever i press LT on the controller it registers LT and RT, would you have any fixes for this?
Uh question what do the buttons underneath the grips do I've been trying to figure out how to use em but can't?
you can program them, for example, if you press the A button most of the time thats the jump button, so you can program a paddle on the back to match any other button on the controller, so i can program it to be A and it will jump! i hope i explained that well.
@@Jpndiazz how would I go about setting it up for games say like cod cold war or something like that
@@soultaker8642 you just program the paddles according to each game. So when you’re playing different games you have to program the buttons accordingly since each game may differ in controls etc.
@@Jpndiazz ok cool thank you
@@soultaker8642 no problem!!!!!
Can it be used unplugged
no it cant
I herd that wired is better than wireless because something to do with less lag and from disconnecting
response time is better yes, but i don't think it's that noticeable
Does it drift or is it a long lasting controller?
A lot of people say it drifts
just bought it an hour ago to play forza h5 on pc so i can control the throttle so its not a floor it or roll, sorta thing. looks very good in purple, and it was on sale. i think it was anout 55aud
If it was on sale, even better!
How are the trigger sensitivities
@@coffee4193 they're pretty good actually
Anyone know if the power A x/s wired controller works for the Xbox one? This mom didn’t read carefully and the x/s one already shipped to us :(
Does it work ?
Just got this controller from Walmart and it says it has “Immersive dual rumble motors” but i don’t have any vibration. I checked my settings and vibration is on for the controller and also checked my game I was playing and no fix. Anyone know of a solution?
might be defective!
what about latency with the controller or delay is it there or not noticeable?
I think most wired controllers have pretty low latency
Is it just me or is my headset never makes noise and the light doesnt turn on when i try to put the volume up and when i connect my headset i can hear it turn on
that's oddd...
So I have had this problem on multiple powerA controllers, so occasionally my headset will start to make a loud buzzing/ringing noise, while cutting out all game and party audio. Does anyone know how to fix that?
did you ever fix that?
Yea dawg this is bad
Turn mic monitoring down all the way
turn down mic monitoring
when i opened this is had stick drift, no game played with it yet
Anybody else notice these aftermarket controllers create a lot of echo on the mic for headsets?
i've noticed this, heard it has something to do with mic monotoring via the xbox chat settings
I cant hear game audio; only mic monitoring audio. Answers???
Pressing up on the right Joystick makes the left joystick go up
Heyyya! Quick question. Is the latency noticeable between your wireless Xbox controller and this Power A Enhanced? Thinking of getting one if the input has no delay at all
there's like no noticeable input lag whatsoever !
It
The powera enhanced is slightly better but it's not that noticeable unless playing competitively
are you experiencing noticeable input lag on the series x? I am too. might switch to wired controller. I'm a competitive gamer
@@DanielRuiz-qk1dc if u are a competitive player u dont play on xbox lol
My original xbox ss controller after 4 months fell from 40cm high little table and left side of controller stopped vibrating. My x360 controller work 15 YEARS and this cr@p 4 months and they are so expensive.
This is my second time getting a second controller just like this and I still sound like a robot
noooooo. i hear it's because it's a wired controller. not sure of the fix!
@@Jpndiazz my boyfriend has the same controller it's just red, and he sounds just fine
Same with mine do u have a purple one?
@@imchxnged yes, I do, it can't be just purple ones, bc I had a red one before this one
@@imchxnged I ended up with problems with both controllers, I thought I needed to update the firmware, but I asked my boyfriend what his current status was on his, and it was the same as mine
Can we use this controller on pc?
Check chat mixer settings no audio right mine was broke 😭
OOOOO
All my micro usb cables do not fit into the controller. Do you know somewhere I can get a cable that will fit in the controller.
Fr the one it came with didnt fit idk y they got that stupid thing anyways
So I have this exact controller and now I have no audio at all. People on the other end can hear me. But I have no in game audio. Help plz!
My controller doesn't work when I plug it in. How do I fix this?
Mine just stopped working after about 18 months. Tried it in a pc nothing no power
Unfortunate but for the price i feel like it lasted a decent amount of time!
Sorry mine was the pro controller has the four metal paddles on back and trigger options. I think it was like 80$
@@Jpndiazzhow is urs holding up now
Interesting but while in a party I notice my mic is always making noise… I don’t understand why.
Haven’t found a fix to this either sorry!
@@Jpndiazz yeah it’s all good, it sucks as where I live all wireless controllers are sold out so I’m stuck with this for a while
Is this wired for charging only or wired to play it and charge it simultaneously?
i have a problem where whenever i press LT on the controller it registers LT and RT
how loose are the sticks? I've only bought one off brand controller and the sticks were too loose for shooters
I’m getting one in a few days I’ll tell u cause I play shooters
The sticks are very solid. they will always go back to the center after releasing them.
@@Rainzz999 how was it? I'm planning on using it on pc
@@mushiroom7711 it is really good and the paddles are nice and responsive
my LT stopped working after 3 days of me exchanging my previous one for getting stick drift in two weeks
Do you have to use the charger it came with only?
Good controller.
solid for the price!
Can you use the controller while your headset in plugged into the pc/console?
Yes!
hello, I would like to know if it is the same key (it hangs well as the microsoft s series controller) and has the same weight as the microsoft s series controller and finally the same sensitivity of the joystick and buttons of the microsoft s series because I hesitate to buy it and also the last question the controller resists in the long term sorry for all these questions
powera buttons are lighter feeling. for long term it really depends it's hard to say honestly. quality is good might last you a while with casual gaming.
Can this work on xbox one console?
How long did it last you
For some reason power power a controller still won't turn on idk what to do
Mine isn’t turning on, could it be cause I’m not using the charger it came with? I bought it months ago opened it up and now I’m trying to connect it with my Xbox. Have no idea what I did with the charger
3:09 yea it does buzz for me as well ( but other people cant hear the buzz
so weird i hate it
So magical That we just cant simply tell the company to make proper shit
@@Jpndiazz its a good controller tho N actually my left side on my headset broke so i just thought to myself Man sack this headset Threw it on the floor N got my earphones n Guess what It had a mic Which i dint know about N it doesnt buzz So if u wanna use that controller with no buzz get urself a pair of earphones Just to say i have a samsung pair Their decently old
Guys iam thinking to buy for my pc are the controller reliable? And if some one use it for a long time are it is good as the Xbox one and i will not use the aux from the controller
they're solid for PC use, that's how i mainly use them. tbh prob the best way to use them! cheers.
@@Jpndiazz thanks man
Bro, pls help me I cant connect my controller and I cant figure out why pls reply on what to do ANYBODY
I prefer braided cables, is it possible to replace the original cable with a braided one?
U can use any usb to micro usb cable
you can yes!
The fix is unplugging and plugging it back in if the game has a test mic setting it helps you gage if you’re doing it right 😊
Have you tried it on a tvbox?
Thanks for the video, idk why I have to always turn on mic access every time I plug it in for party chat access? Any help?
i have the black one. but when i talk it makes me sound very staticyyy .. How can i fix this ? and it’s not my headset
I just bought this controller and it will not turn on its not the usb or the port any
solutions? Edit : When I plug in the usb port the light flashes once but turns off
Try another cord.
im having a hard time connection this to my xbox one digital series its not turning on at all
Could someone help me the mute button on mine doesn’t work and mines new to
I just have a feeling this thing won’t last long.
What do I do if the mic stop working ? I have the same exact controller
rule out of if it's the mic or the actual controller. whichever one is not working you'll have to replace.
Does this work with xbox gamepass on pc? not cloud gaming just regular gaming
yes!
How do I fix the issue of I’m shoot in call of duty without wanting to shoot I’ll aim in to see if I can see someone and it will literally start shooting and one might say switch to single shoot well bro this controller does not care about single shot it’s fully automatic no matter what this controller is a hack that I really don’t want to happen because I get knifed while I’m reloading or reported for cheating either one
I just got one and it don’t work how do I connect it
Just plug it in, should be as easy as that. make sure both inputs are pushed in all the way!
@@Jpndiazz they are I had got 2 from Walmart neither are coming on 🤦🏽♂️
