PDP Configuration App Coming to Xbox One

Performance Design Products makes a lot of great hardware for consoles and PC, and there really isn’t any beating around the bush with them: we love there stuff. Sure, we haven’t praised some items as much as others, but overall, they make an excellent product. One product that I use consistently with my Xbox One is my Prismatic Afterglow Wired Xbox One Controller. With the ability to map buttons the way you want, it’s the perfect alternative to the very expensive Xbox One Elite controller that Xbox released last year.

Just this week, PDP announced that they were releasing their own configuration app on the Xbox One, which will allow gamers to begin customizing their Prismatic controllers on May 3rd. With the ability to create presets for different players, set the rumble, and even change the colors on the controller, setting up your Prismatic controller is easier than ever before. And frankly, doing all the changes just on the controller was pretty difficult at times!

From PDP,

The Afterglow Configuration App offers gamers a variety of customization choices, including vibration and rumble strength, lighting and color selections, Dual Multi-Function wheel actions, and the ability to create different controller profiles. Each profile can be cloud-saved for future use.

This will be the first of its kind on Xbox One; although Xbox provides a built in interface for setting up the Xbox One Elite Controller, it was never really that in depth. It appears as if PDP will be setting the bar for configuration applications, more of which I assume we will see in the future. Here is what Bob Picunko, Senior Vice President of Marketing at PDP had to say,

PDP is excited to allow gamers the ability to configure and customize their controller through the Xbox One console. The Afterglow App is a significant innovation for gamers of all skills and abilities.

If you haven’t yet checked out our review of the Afterglow Prismatic Wired Controller, you can do so here. We strongly recommend this product, and hopefully, will be strongly recommending the application on May 3rd!
