CRKD Gibson Les Paul Burst Pro Ed Guitar Controller Bluberry

Very functional and clearly designed with love

I've been having SO much fun with this thing. Even after reading reviews, I'm very impressed at the features this guitar has. It's been working great with PC and the app is actually very cool and functional. If you're looking to relive a bit of the late 00's on Clone Hero or get a more immersive experience on Fortnite Festival. I've been having a little trouble getting the buttons configured on Fortnite on my Switch, however that's more of an issue I'm having with Fortnite. The hardware feels great, buttons are smooth and the haptics in the strum bar are really cool. It's definitely quieter than the old models. And it just works. Really well thought out controller, options to customise and even upgrade later with an add-on neck.

The Ultimate Guitar Controller

This new guitar controller is a game-changer, elevating the rhythm gaming experience with a host of impressive and well-thought-out features. The mobile app is a core component, making a seamless first impression. With a simple wireless RFID Touchpoint, players can register the controller, learn about its rarity, and immediately begin customising their experience. This app also handles wireless firmware updates, keeping the device current and future-proof. The physical design is both sleek and practical. T For those long sessions, a generous USB lead is included, providing a safety net if the rechargeable battery runs low. The battery itself is a user-friendly feature, housed in its own easy-access compartment, making replacement a breeze down the line. A must for music, the controller's robust feature set and forward-thinking design make it a top contender for rhythm game enthusiasts.

I'm still a guitar hero

A great flash back to my Guitar Hero/Rockband days, if you still have these titles then this is of course compatible with your setup. Really stylish controller, looks very much like a mini guitar thanks to the Gibson styling so could be left on show. Its very light and comes with a strap so is easy to use and hold. My only gripe with this controller is that there is no texture on the neck buttons and strum paddle, so your fingers can be prone to slipping and ruining your perfect score!

Canny piece of kit!

This is compatible with all consoles and PC on a range of games. I have used it on PS3 and PS4 for playing Guitar Hero and RockBand games. It's well-constructed and feels really good quality. You can tweak the settings for every aspect of it with ease by using the app. The range of connectivity options make it super useable. Highly recommend!!!

Gibson Guitar Controller

This controller is a solid, well-built piece of kit. It’s lightweight but sturdy, comfortable to hold, even for longer sessions and the detachable neck makes it easier to store or travel with. The blue burst finish is a nice touch that makes it stand out. The controls feel reassuringly strong and responsive. This guitar controller is built to last.

Great looking Guitar

The product works exactly as intended. Having used it via a wired connection on PlayStation 5, and Bluetooth as well as using the "dongle" on PC, I experienced zero issues with gameplay or connectivity (such as input lag). Having used ps3 era guitar hero controllers similar to this one in the past, the product feels just like holding a brand new and improved version, with extra perks. The adaptability allowed me to play on whichever platform I liked (Xbox aside) as well as set up and play with little issue (I tried it on Fortnite Festival). The only critique I have would be that it did not feel entirely intuitive to set up and took me a decent amount of time to become familiar with, but once I understood and established how to connect it and use it, I am confident I won't struggle with the setup again in the future (specifically, connecting to PS5 and utilising the controller as it registers as a keyboard, which was unfamiliar to me in this setting). Overall would 100% recommend this to any long time Guitar Hero/Band Hero fan.

Only for the professionals

The guitar controller offers a range of impressive features that enhance the gaming experience. The accompanying app is a standout, allowing for easy product registration via a wireless RFID Touchpoint on the controller. This app not only registers the controller but also provides information on its rarity, offers button customization, and enables wireless firmware updates. The USB dongle is cleverly concealed within the guitar in a secret compartment, though accessing it can be a bit challenging. A long USB lead is included, which is useful if the battery runs out. The controller’s versatility is another highlight, as it can be used with a PC, Nintendo Switch, Android, or PS3. Replacing the rechargeable battery is straightforward, thanks to another secret compartment. The controller also features a key jam mode, transforming it into a keyboard and mouse, which broadens its compatibility with Xbox and PlayStation for games like Fortnite Festival that support keyboard and mouse input. Users can set custom controller inputs for different games or platforms, adding to the controller’s flexibility. However, the absence of a carry case or stand is a noticeable omission that could have improved the overall package.
