For gamers who value style, the OPS v3 Pro offers Multi-zone RGB lighting, powered by PowerA’s Lumectra technology, enabling personalized customization and an illuminated gaming experience. The controller is equipped with six mappable Advanced Gaming Buttons and 3-way trigger locks, allowing users to customize their layout for a tactical advantage. Connectivity options are robust, including low-latency 2.4GHz wireless via the provided USB adapter, Bluetooth, and a wired connection via an included 10ft braided USB cable. With a 1200mAh rechargeable battery offering up to 30 hours of gameplay, and a convenient charging stand, the OPS v3 Pro is always ready for extended gaming sessions.
