Fortnite Festival Riffmaster Wireless Guitar Controller Gets Rare Discount

To be clear, this is technically a Rock Band 4 controller, but Epic Games added support for various guitar controllers, including Rock Band 4 Guitar, last April.

By default, the Riffmaster is configured for right-handed players, but left-handed players can use it by removing a screw and inverting the neck. The Riffmaster has five upper and lower frets, as well as directional keys on the string guard and analog sticks on the back of the headstock.

The controller offers a 30-foot wireless range via the included USB adapter and can run for up to 36 hours on a full charge. It has a built-in 3.5mm audio jack and comes with a shoulder strap.

As an officially licensed controller, the Riffmaster also features a PS button for opening the PS5's Control Center or returning to the home screen.

Unlike many PlayStation controllers, the Riffmaster was not designed with PlayStation console compatibility in mind. That said, some users have been able to run PlayStation Riffmaster on PC using unofficial third-party drivers.

However, if you're primarily playing Fortnite Festival on PC, you'll want to opt for the Xbox version of Riffmaster. The Xbox model has the same features as the PlayStation version. It has an Xbox button that opens the guide.

Both models come in a stylish black and gray color scheme and are constructed from sturdy plastic. The foldable design allows you to easily store your guitar or take it with you when traveling. Once taken apart, the controller can be thrown into a backpack and reassembled in a minute or two.
