Product provided for review

PowerA released a new set of Controllers and Headsets that is part of the new ‘Tropical Vibes’ Collection. We reviewed the LucidSound LS10 Wired Gaming Headset which is a neat starter headset and matches the Beach Vibes Advantage Wireless Controller for XBOX Series X|S.

While we have already reviewed the PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller for XBOX before, we are going to provide a closer look at the Beach Vibes version of it.

Here is an overview of the features the PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller comes with:

• Hall Effect Thumbsticks and Triggers: Say goodbye to stick drift with contact-free magnetic sensors in the thumbsticks giving you smoother control, enhanced precision, and increased longevity.

 

• Game on All Your Devices: 3-Mode Switch allows you to select between 2.4 Ghz wireless, Bluetooth or wired modes, perfect for gaming on XBOX Series X|S, XBOX One, Windows 10/11, cloud, Android and PC handhelds. Low latency wireless using the included USB adapter.

 

• Tactical Trigger Locks: 2-Way adjustable trigger lock for your playing style. Select a shorter trigger pull for an instant response in FPS games when milliseconds matter, or a long trigger pull when you need to go full throttle in racing games

 

• 1000Hz Polling Rate: Lighting fast response time for competitive PC Play (PC Wired Mode Only)

 

• Advanced Gaming Buttons – Get an edge over the competition with 4 mappable buttons that you can program on the fly, mid-game—no system settings to configure

 

• Officially Licensed – for XBOX Series X|S and works on XBOX One and Windows 10/11

 

• Rechargeable Battery – Get up to 30 hours of battery life on a single charge*. Includes an extra-long 10 ft. USB-C Charging Cable.

 

• Immersive Gaming – Dual rumble motors and magnetic impulse triggers add lifelike tactile details to your games while a 3.5mm stereo jack delivers clear dynamic audio**

 

• PowerA Gamer HQ App – Adjust audio, triggers, rumble, dead zones, and more on your controller with the updated free official XBOX and Windows 10/11 app

 

• Comfort and Control – Ergonomic design with textured grips and embedded anti-friction rings provide fatigue-free comfort during extended gaming sessions

The PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller is extremely responsive especially when you are playing wired as expected. The controller feels completely different than your standard XBOX Controller. The hall effect thumbsticks are also very useful for games like Forza Horizon 6.

It will work flawlessly on XBOX Series, XBOX One, and PC from my experience. If you are someone who even likes to play first-person shooters the PowerA Advantage Wireless Controller will be a perfect option.

Beach Vibes Is Stunning

Now, let’s talk about the actual look of the controller. Judging by its name, Beach Vibes, the colors may not be exactly what you think of when going to a beach. However, the color combinations work so well together. We have a mix of light blue, violet, and pink all together. The violet color really makes the overall controller standout where its placed on the buttons, sticks and bumpers.

It’s one of the best looking controllers from PowerA that isn’t licensed such as their Mario-themed or Pikachu-themed controllers, which are nice. Going by just a plain design of different colors, this is the one.

The PowerA Beach Vibes Advantage Controller for XBOX Series is a visual appealing controller that also has stellar performance on console and PC. It’s the perfect match if you need an upgraded controller with some style.
