FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PS4 in Review – Who is the €130 controller worth it for?

FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PS4 in Review – Who is the €130 controller worth it for?

The wireless mode therefore seems a bit useless for MMO players, and even with good headphones, you should stick to wired mode. If you use other sound sources or connections, then the wireless mode can be used more often.

On PC, the wireless mode only works with third-party programs, and on PS5, it hardly works at all – there is significant latency in transmission. Overall, I could hardly use the wireless mode, and thus, I had no advantages from the higher battery life.

The lack of the LED bar between the triggers could be a problem for some PSVR players. The illuminated area is used to track the position of the controller using the camera.

Conclusion: A good alternative with back paddles if you play on PC and PS4

Who is the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 worth it for? If you’re looking for a high-quality PS4 controller with back paddles and PC support, you should keep the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 on your radar.

Even players with small hands looking for a controller with back paddles will find a good solution here.

The FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 is particularly strong in wired mode. The use on PC, PS4, and PS5 goes smoothly, and since you can easily detach the paddle module, the extra buttons don’t interfere with games that don’t require paddles.

If you’re looking for a “real” wireless controller that works well without a cable, the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 struggles. On PS4, the jack headset does not work, and PC and PS5 are not supported.

powera fusion pro wireless for ps4 in hand
Comfortable and high-quality, but not really wireless: the FUSION Pro for PS4.

What are the alternatives? The regular PS4 controller remains a good choice and can now be equipped with a paddle module. The part costs around €30, and together with a controller, you’re looking at around €95. However, the module only adds 2 new buttons.

A similarly high-quality wireless controller can be found with the Razer Raiju Tournament Edition. The controller from Razer offers 4 programmable extra buttons and interchangeable controller parts. Some functions can also be controlled via an app. The Raiju in the Tournament Edition is available for about €100, but the overall range of functions is less than that of the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4.

Another strong competitor is the “SCUF IMPACT Custom Controller” from accessory manufacturer SCUF. In the basic version, you get the controller with all important PS4 features and 4 back paddles for €159.99 (via scufgaming.com). If you want adjustable trigger paths or a transport box included, you quickly end up over €200. However, SCUF controllers are unmatched in customization. If you spend even more, you can get a nearly customized controller with high quality. But at that price, you’ll be looking at €250 or more.

The FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PS4 was sent to us for testing purposes. However, the manufacturer had no influence on the content and structure of the article.

With the FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4, manufacturer PowerA offers an all-round controller for the PS4 that provides you with back paddles and PC support. MeinMMO shows who will benefit from the €130 device.

This is what you get here:

  • A detailed review of the FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PS4 – a controller for €130
  • The controller offers PC support, back paddles, and a stylish transport box, among other features
  • In practice, handling is particularly enjoyable, but the wireless function has issues

Which controller is it about? The FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 comes from the accessory manufacturer PowerA and is a licensed PS4 controller. The FUSION Pro Wireless offers almost all core features of a normal PS4 controller, but also brings you some extras, including back paddles, interchangeable thumbsticks, PC support, and 3-way triggers.

powera fusion pro wireless for ps4 with transport box
The controller comes with a custom-made bag.

The FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PlayStation 4 is available for €129.99 (RRP), and if you want to inform yourself thoroughly about the device before buying, you are in the right place. MeinMMO tested the premium PS4 controller for 6 weeks and shows in which areas the FUSION Pro Wireless outperforms the original controller, what the extra features are capable of, and what didn’t work so well.

The FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PS4 was sent to us for testing purposes. However, the manufacturer had no influence on the content and structure of the article.

FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PS4: How did we test?

The test:

  • Everyday test over 6 weeks with more than 100 hours of gameplay
  • Wide range of games; including Call of Duty, Stardew Valley, FIFA, SnowRunner, Fall Guys

The test consists of 4 parts. With one click, you can go directly to the corresponding sections:

The tester Maik Schneider: Since I can remember, I have been playing on consoles and grew up with the controller in hand. My gaming passion and love for writing brought me to MeinMMO. I mainly cover the battle royale Call of Duty: Warzone as a freelance author.

I have a special relationship with PS4 controllers. Since the launch of the PS4, I have amassed a decent collection of 11 controllers, most of which barely work anymore. Still, I have always remained loyal to the simple and good concept and never tried a costly premium model.

With the FUSION Pro Wireless Controller for PS4, I’m venturing into new territory and comparing the licensed €130 controller with the original and over 7 years of experience with several thousand PS4 controller gaming hours.

What does “licensed controller” mean? Manufacturer PowerA defines a licensed product with 3 characteristics:
1. Quality: The licensing company, in this case Sony, specifies specifications to guarantee a certain quality of the products.
2. Design: Licensed products have access to PlayStation artworks, and thus the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 can use the real PlayStation symbols.
3. Reliability: To ensure compatibility of the licensed products, manufacturer PowerA and the licensing company test the products separately.

All functions at a glance: FUSION Pro Wireless vs. Original PS4

The FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 offers you almost all functions of a normal PS4 controller. From the touchpad, the jack input for your headset, to motion sensors and vibration – the important functions are included.

On top of that, there are a number of extras, but also some functions that the FUSION Pro Wireless lacks compared to the normal PS4 controller:

Extra functions FUSION Pro Wireless:

  • Robust design in black PlayStation look
  • Rubberized areas on the back
  • PC support
  • Removable paddle module
  • 3 adjustable trigger lengths for L2/R2 triggers
  • Mouse-like front triggers (L1/R1)
  • Interchangeable thumbsticks (3 extra sticks included)
  • Battery life of up to 20 hours
  • Storage box for all parts

The size of the controller is closer to that of the PS5 controller.

Disadvantages compared to the normal PS4 controller

  • Headset only works in wired mode
  • Only the included cable fits properly
  • LED bar between triggers necessary for some PSVR games
  • Wireless mode not possible on PS5

In practice – FUSION Pro Wireless shines with extras, but annoys MMO players

  • Weight, quality, and handling
  • The buttons, thumbsticks, paddles, and triggers
  • Bluetooth, compatibility, and PC support

Weight, quality, and handling

What I like: The controller is larger, heavier, and all the buttons feel more precise. The FUSION Pro Wireless is very well made and feels high-quality. The initial qualitative impression was very good, and almost all elements give off a high-quality impression.

Thanks to the rubberized side parts, I have a secure grip, and the matte surface of the top provides even more grip. The controller always fits well in hand. However, the high weight is noticeable when switching from a PS4 controller – there are 210 grams (PS4) against 365 grams (FUSION Pro Wireless with paddles). The weight didn’t bother me, but I was also already familiar with the PS5 controller (278 grams).

It became somewhat uncomfortable with the paddle module. I was used to firing and aiming in a shooter with the front triggers (R1/L1). However, the paddles are not optimally accessible then. The transition took a few fussy gaming hours, but after a while, I got used to the back paddles and the operation felt good – comfortable extra buttons on the backside.

What are back paddles good for? These are buttons on the back of a controller. You can usually assign these extra buttons freely, for example connecting the circle button to a paddle. Circle can then be pressed either with the normal button or with the paddle. This means you no longer have to take your thumb off the right stick and can aim and press the circle at the same time in shooters.

What I don’t like: The modular system with the removable front and paddle module brings some uncertainties to the stable system. 

The front part has a good grip and helps prevent slipping. However, it is held by a few small magnets in the controller, and in stressful situations, the front part slipped a few times. The top could be better secured, especially since currently, there are no other front parts for the controller available for purchase.

The paddles on the module are slightly wobbly due to the construction. This detracts from the otherwise high-quality impression. 

Additionally, the paddles protrude significantly from the controller and are therefore activated quickly. Even when laying it down carefully, the circle button often wanted to leave the lobby. This, however, makes the back paddles accessible for small hands as well. However, I have to be extremely cautious of the flap for the module connection – leaving the module on is not really an option.

The module works well – but make sure not to lose the flap.

The buttons, thumbsticks, paddles, and triggers

What I like: The buttons triangle and co. sit tighter and thus also feel slightly more premium. In general, the control elements feel more precise. This is especially true for the R1 and L1 triggers, which click like mouse buttons.

This continues with the thumbsticks – upon first contact, I already felt that the stick offers more grip. The sticks can easily be swapped for other thumbsticks – 3 different variants are included with the controller. However, I haven’t seriously used any of them.

I find the easy adjustment of the back paddles strong – with 2 buttons, you can set a paddle to the desired button.

With the 3-way triggers, I can set the distance to the impulse point for R2 and L2. This means bullets fly out of the barrel faster – also the reason why I actually used R1 to fire. A nice extra, which sometimes brings problems in practice.

What I don’t like: Due to the 3-way triggers, I can fire faster, but the triggers are not fully pulled at the shorter distances.

Example Warzone: When I get into a vehicle, I can only give little gas with the short trigger distances as the trigger simulates the gas pedal. I then have to quickly operate the switch to set it to the longest distance. However, the switch is so tight that quickly switching is difficult.

I’m also not entirely satisfied with the back paddles. Although the wings at the back of the device sit well in the hand after some time, the construction causes problems. As all paddles can be removed individually, the module appears “vulnerable”. The materials are quite high quality and robust, but the design is prone to damage. Additionally, under stress, I came under the paddles a few times, and the wings stood up briefly.

powera fusion pro wireless for ps4 back with paddles
On the back, there are switches for PC support and the 3-way triggers.

Bluetooth, compatibility, and PC support

What I like: In wired mode, the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 is a strong all-rounder and can be easily connected to PS4, PS5, and computer. The paddle module also works well all the time.

You should keep in mind that the FUSION Pro is recognized as a PS4 controller by a PS5. If you start a PS5 game, the controller does not work.

On the PS4, wireless mode is also no problem. However, it’s not as easy as with the standard controllers – I had to register the controller in the device settings. But that was easy to do, and the battery lasted about the 20 hours promised by the manufacturer.

What I don’t like: The biggest problem with the FUSION Pro Wireless is the lack of headset support in wireless mode. If I want to play with a jack headset via the controller, I always have to use the cable. At first, I thought my controller was broken – but the manufacturer support actually confirms that a headset only works in wired mode (via powera.com).

If you’re looking for a “real” wireless controller that works well without a cable, the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4 struggles. On PS4, the jack headset does not work, and PC and PS5 are not supported.

Comfortable and high-quality, but not really wireless: the FUSION Pro for PS4.

What are the alternatives? The regular PS4 controller remains a good choice and can now be equipped with a paddle module. The part costs around €30, and together with a controller, you’re looking at around €95. However, the module only adds 2 new buttons.

A similarly high-quality wireless controller can be found with the Razer Raiju Tournament Edition. The controller from Razer offers 4 programmable extra buttons and interchangeable controller parts. Some functions can also be controlled via an app. The Raiju in the Tournament Edition is available for about €100, but the overall range of functions is less than that of the FUSION Pro Wireless for PS4.

Summary
Written by
Ich spiele gern mit dem FUSION Pro Wireless für PS4, doch das „Wireless“ müsste ich eigentlich streichen. Durch die fehlende Headset-Unterstützung im Bluetooth-Modus ist der Controller für mich eher kabelgebunden.

Das Paket hat mich ansonsten überzeugt - die Paddles spielen sich gut, der Controller hat einen festen Griff. Das ganze Gerät macht einen hochwertigen und präzisen Eindruck, auch wenn die Back-Paddles am Modul fester sitzen könnten.

Die Preis/Leistung finde ich passend. Wenn ich mir Controller mit ähnlichem Funktions-Umfang ansehe, liegt der FUSION Pro Wireless für PS4 meist unter der Konkurrenz. Dazu kommt der Controller mit einer maßangefertigten Tasche.

Wenn ihr über die Nummer mit der fehlenden Headset-Unterstützung im Wireless-Modus hinweg sehen könnt, dann kriegt ihr hier einen starken Paddle-Controller mit einigen Extras für einen vernünftigen Preis.

  • Hochwertige Verarbeitung
