If you want to play Rock Band 4 on consoles, buying a new guitar controller hasn't been easy or affordable. It is common to find used (new) guitar controllers selling for $500 or so. That is changing, thankfully, with the release of PDP's Riffmaster. It's a $129.99 wireless guitar controller hitting shelves in April for both PlayStation and Xbox consoles. Both come with a USB-A wireless transceiver, but only the Xbox version promises full Windows compatibility (even so, the PlayStation guitar was still recognized by my desktop). Its design accommodates right- and left-handed players.
The Riffmaster is also available for pre-order at Best Buy (PS, Xbox).
