Xbox Accessory: PDP RiffMaster Guitar: Officially Licensed by Microsoft

I was initially torn between the PDP Gaming Riffmaster and the CRKD version. I eventually opted for the Riffmaster, primarily because the Xbox version was nearly 50% off, making it an incredible value for the money. Setup and Compatibility I primarily purchased this controller to play Clone Hero on PC, but I have also tested it with Rock Band 3 Deluxe and Yarg. Getting the controller to sync with Clone Hero requires a little bit of setup, but the effort is well worth it. To get it running perfectly: Remove existing drivers: Uninstall "Xbox Game Input" via the Windows Control Panel. Install mapping tools: Download and install RB4 Instrument Mapper and ViGEmBus (both are easily found on GitHub). Once these are installed, the game runs flawlessly. Even the whammy bar functions correctly—something many users had concerns about regarding the Xbox version on PC. Additionally, I can confirm that it is fully usable on Linux systems. Build and Feel The overall responsiveness and build of the controller are fantastic. While it is undeniably a plastic instrument, it feels highly durable and well-constructed. The Strum Bar: I was initially unsure about the lack of a tactile switch in the strum bar, but the action is remarkably similar to the classic Rock Band controllers. It takes almost no time at all to get used to. Ergonomics: The guitar rests comfortably and the buttons are highly responsive during fast sections. Final Verdict I highly recommend the Riffmaster. If you are on the fence about whether to pick one up, you will not be disappointed. It delivers an authentic rhythm gaming experience whether you are on PC or Linux!

Gros joueurs de guitar hero et rock band, j'ai construit une borne arcade sous winPE avec clone hero et YARG, et je recherchais une guitar fiable pour aller avec le tout. Le soucis, peu de choix a l'heure actuelle, une seul guitar vraiment fiable mais hors de prix et d'occasion la fender sans fil de rockband. J'ai eu vent de cette guitare qui avais de bon retour, avec un prix un peu élevé pour un jouet plastique mais fiable pour jouer en difficulté expert. A aujourd'hui je confirme les échos que j'avais eu. Plug and play, de bonne factures, si je devais être tatillon je dirais que la gâchette de gratte devrais être plus dur comme les guitare de guitar hero 2 et 3, on l'on ressentais vraiment la gratte. Dans tout les cas superbe produit

The guitar does not connect to its dongle. Tried every possible way official and through reddit to get it to connect to Xbox or PC.

Fantastic guitar controller. I recently got an Xbox Series X and realized all my old Xbox 360 songs Rock Band songs would still be available to me but Rock Band guitars are impossible to find unless you want to pay a ton of money. Grabbed this one because it seemed to fit my needs and it has been perfect. Looks nice, plays great, very quiet strum bar. I have seen people say the tilt function for Overdrive didn't work for them but I've had no issues so maybe that's a problem that has since been fixed. Overall great choice for Rock Band 4

Everything was perfect!
