Hot on the heels of our previous coverage of the PowerA Core Blush a little while back, we now take a look at the PowerA Fortnite Midas, a wired controller that makes an extremely stylish first impression.
Feeling similar to the Core Blush in how it fits in the hand, the first thing that struck me about the Midas was how it looked; the shiny detailing in the handprints, webs, skulls and flowers popping out from the matte plastic, and the ridged back of the controller providing grip for lengthier, more intense playing sessions.
The triggers are designed to be less spongy, shallower on the press than the official controller, so there’s a sense of snappiness in their use, giving more of an arcade vibe and a sense of quicker reaction time. This aspect is also adjustable, using the trigger locks on the rear to fine tune your experience.
For instance, for racing games a deeper trigger would be just the (speeding) ticket, whilst more quick-fire, shallow action would be suited to more action-oriented games. the LB and RB buttons have a definite, satisfying ‘click’ to them, that matches up with the thumb-stick buttons. These, combined with the programmable back buttons – placed perfectly - make this a fun and snappy controller to use, whilst looking very cool at the same time.
Considering the price point, the Midas controller offers some tasty customisation options and is comprised of a tasteful and sleek design, Plus, should you be a Fortnite fan – there’s a Storm King Fist Pickaxe waiting for you!
