PDP’s new Rematch Glow Controllers are here to solve a problem we never knew we had: gaming in the dark while simultaneously looking like you’ve wandered into a neon rave. These glow-in-the-dark beauties are designed for Nintendo Switch and Xbox players who like their controllers to shine as bright as their victories.
The Rematch Glow Wireless Controllers for the Switch include Boo Hoo, Grand Prix Mario, and Blackout Bowser editions, which feature designs from the Mario universe. After some exposure to light, these controllers glow like they’ve been dipped in radioactive goo, ensuring that even if you can’t see your character in-game, at least your controller will be putting on a show. Plus, with a 40-hour battery life, you won’t need to worry about them running out of juice mid-game. They also include motion controls and a 30-foot wireless range, which is handy if you like to game from your neighbor’s couch.
For the Xbox and PC crowd, there’s the Titan Steel Rematch Glow Wired Controller. It’s basically a nightlight that also happens to feature programmable buttons, dual rumble motors, and 2-way hair triggers for a more immersive experience. Just kidding. It isn’t an actual nightlight but you get the idea.
Plus, with the PDP Control Hub app, you can tweak everything from button mapping to trigger deadzones, just in case you want to get really intimate with your controller settings. Best of all, you won’t even need to get up to adjust your volume – the D-pad’s got that covered. Because, nothing says “next-gen gaming” like adjusting your sound mid-boss battle with just your thumb.
The Rematch Glow controllers are clearly for those who believe that gaming should come with a side of glow sticks and maybe a fog machine for ambiance. And who are we to argue with that?
