The PowerA Spectra Infinity Enhanced Wired Controller (to give its full name), is an Xbox branded option for those gamers who just need a whole ton of colour in their lives. Set-up and laid out pretty much exactly as that of the official Xbox Wireless Controller from Microsoft, this wired controller feels great in the hand. I mean, really great in the hand. Build quality is also a concern. The bumpers and triggers are made from a glossy hard plastic, which feel fine while you’re playing, but seem a bit flimsy. The bumpers, in particular, wiggle a bit right out of the box. I’ve only used the controller for about four days and there haven’t been any problems, but after a lifetime of using controllers I wouldn’t expect the Bumpers’ to last for many years, or endure much abuse.

Holding this down for a couple of seconds initiates LED Program Mode and from there a push of the D-Pad to the right will let you scroll through the Zones. From there, making the most of the four face buttons will set your colour type, each unique to the buttons themselves. This means that hitting the A button will cycle through five different types of green, whilst Y will cover the yellow angle, B that of red and X of blue. Mixing and matching will see you able to have the Spectra glowing all manner of colours.
