![]() ![]() So here is how the green controller looked like in the dark originally before I removed its LEDs: But in the end, I didn't feel like bothering with that and just removed them altogether. Technically, I could make the LEDs dimmer if I change the resistors. Worth noting here (at least for the technical folks) is that each LED is connected to the 5V USB power bus individually through a 200-Ohm series resistor. With all of the LEDs in it originally, it was just too bright. After playing through the The Last of Us for a couple of hours late one night, I quickly got fed up with these controllers and resorted to removing pretty much all of the LEDs in the green controller before I deemed it acceptable. I was using the green controller at first, as I thought it would be less annoying, but both were equally irritating. With the internal reflections of the clear case, there were quite a few angles where the LED light was directly beamed towards my eyes. While these controllers look very cool during the day with their bright LED lights, they are an eye-sore to use at night or in a dark room – quite literally! The LEDs inside these controllers are not angled very well (if at all), and so both of my controllers were emitting strong light through the see-through case in all sorts of random directions. But let's continue with the visual aspects for now. Now for the bad ones… I don't even know where to start here. And because they are wired, there is no need to worry about a battery running out during your game sessions.īut unfortunately, that is about all there is to the good aspects. Moreover, since they are wired (thus lacking a battery) and also don't have Shock motors/vibrators, they are quite light-weight. In terms of ergonomics, these controllers felt comfortable in my hands during testing. Here are two pictures of the top and bottom: The buttons have a smooth finish while the palm grips and analog joysticks have a matte, rubber-like coating. Starting with visuals, the see-through plastic used for the top part of these controllers makes them look attractive. Thus, now that I've used them a bit (I played the entire game, The Last of Us with these), I think writing a review on these – even a non-professional one like mine - may be helpful to someone that is wondering if they should buy one of these or not. At the time of buying, however, I couldn't find a coherent review anywhere on the Internet, much less an in-depth one. ![]() Last year, I bought two of these AfterGlow Pro controllers (blue and green).
