Back in February of this year we posted about the REALMZ controllers from PDP Gaming, and we commented on how much we loved the lightweight design and fantastic look of the control. We’ve been using these controllers a lot lately while reviewing Mario Party Jamboree, and further to our review of the Sonic and Tails controllers, we now have the new Minecraft REALMZ controller at our disposal.
I’ve always been fascinated by the “guts” of a controller, and these controllers give you a nice snapshot of what’s on the inside. That, blended with scenes and a character from specific franchises – in our case, Sonic and Minecraft – creates a controller that will not only provide a functional use, but looks fantastic when displayed.

The shoulder buttons provide that nice and satisfying click when pressed, and the buttons all feel great. They have enough travel to make a press feel satisfying, which isn’t something I can say about all the controllers I’ve reviewed over the past few years.
With a fantastic battery life to boot, we get a lot of play off a single charge – we recently went camping for a long weekend here in Canada, and since there was going to be a full day of rain, and we were in the middle of our Mario Party Jamboree review period, we took these fully charged controllers with us to the trailer. They lasted the entire weekend, and continued to work when we got home before requiring a further charge. The USB-C charge port and included cable means charging is a breeze, and you are back in action before you know it.
