PowerA has unveiled a new series of customizable PC controllers. The OPS V1 is a $50 wireless controller with a few bells and whistles, while the high-end OPS V3 Pro is loaded with customization features and significantly undercuts many competitors with its $100 price. Both controllers release next month and are available to preorder now at Amazon.
PowerA’s reveal of the OPS series comes on the heels of announcing a Fortnite-themed Xbox Series X|S, Xbox, and PC controller. Releasing October 1 and available to preorder now for $100, the Fortnite special-edition controller has numerous similarities to the OPS V3 Pro.

PowerA’s OPS V3 Pro sports features found in other pro-style controllers for PC gamers, but its $100 price is markedly less than some notable competitors, including the Xbox Elite Series 2, Razer Wolverine V2 Pro, Victrix Pro BFG, Asus Raikiri Pro, and Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra. The caveat here is that all of those controllers also offer console support. The V3 Pro is a somewhat uncommon in this regard, but it’s conceivable that not partnering with a console manufacturer contributed to keeping the price lower than we typically see.
