Gaming accessory manufacturer PowerA has just revealed the OPS v1 and OPS v3 Pro, two new controllers geared towards PC and cloud gaming. Both are part of a new ‘overpowered’ series of PC-compatible controllers.

The PowerA OPS v1 Wireless Controller is the most affordable of the pair, with a retail price of $49.99. It offers a low-latency 2.4GHz wireless connection through its USB adapter in addition to Bluetooth support and wired play via an included 10ft / 3m USB-C cable. While its overall design looks fairly standard, it does offer some higher-end features including Hall effect thumbsticks and triggers, adjustable trigger locks, a programmable turbo button, four remappable inputs, and a 20-hour battery life. 

All things considered, the OPS v1 and OPS v3 Pro look like compelling options for PC gamers after a new controller. Only time will tell whether they will rank among the best PC controllers, but they'll be facing strong competition from the likes of the GameSir T4 Kaleid, which offers similar features to the OPS v1 at a slightly more affordable price, and high-end favorites like the Turtle Beach Stealth Ultra.
