Not cheap, but cheapest it's been as far as I know and much better value than the stupidly priced second hand market for the older controllers.

Works with Rock Band 4 ($15 @ Xbox) or Fortnite Festival. Apparently works with CloneHero on PC but haven't tried it. Came with a wireless dongle for the Xbox and also connects and charges via USB-C.

PS4/PS5 version: https://www.ebgames.com.au/product/ps4/305636-pdp-riffmaster…

The newest guitar in the market allows you to play music like a true rock star now on Rock Band 4 and Fortnite Festival as soon as Rock Band 4 guitars are supported. With a unique design that is suitable for both left and right handed guitarists, everybody has a chance to dominate the competition.

Enjoy elevated comfort and convenience with a 30-foot low latency wireless connection, a built-in, rechargeable battery for up to 36-hours of play per charge, shoulder strap, and patened pending analog stick. Turn it up to 11 with the 3.5mm audio jack, and adjust volume on-the-fly with the audio controls located on the D-pad. The guitar is also collapsible allowing you to pack it for your next tour or safely store at home. PDP's RIFFMASTER is officially licensed by Xbox and compatible across Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and Windows 10/11.

    Just in time for Easter.

    Better off spending that money on a modded Guitar Hero controller with mech frets or waiting for the new CRKD Guitar controller coming soon. Apparently they are looking at Aus distribution of the CRKD guitars so it might end up somewhat affordable.

      I did look at the crkd products but they're all around $200+ USD for pre-order. With the current exchange rates and Australia tax, I'd be shocked if they end up retailing for less than $350AUD.

      I'd love to be proven wrong though! I'd like to pick up a second guitar at some point so the the kids can play together.

        FYI you can pre-order the CRKD guitar on Amazon US and it comes out to about $215 AUD!

    I still have 3 brand new in box guitar hero 3 controllers got them on release day when guitar hero 3 came out on ps3 :D do you think they are worth anything?

    • ashanrath on 01/04/2025 - 11:28

      Holy shit, seriously? Check eBay prices lol.

        I can't see to see brand new in box guitar hero 3 controllers though on ebay they all seem to be used.

    • LolwutMikka on 01/04/2025 - 12:27

      Not much. Rock Band Rivals/4 with the blue guitar is what's valuable.

    • wormsapoc on 17/04/2025 - 17:30

      GH3 Wii Les Paul is highly sought after and best controller in my opinion. $250 new in box is not unreasonable. I went on a spree buying every one I could find on gumtree a few years ago. 4 player Clone Hero is so much fun.

      It'll work, but it won't work well.

      It'll probably have latency issues and stiff buttons, amongst other potential issues. Used to own similar controllers and the build quality is always a few notches lower than official Guitar Hero/ Rock Band controllers.

      • lord spice on 01/04/2025 - 13:57

        You just saved me $80, appreciate it 🙏

    Bought the PS5 version of this - works well with RB4 on PS5 obviously, but also works with Clone Hero on PC after some mapping. It's got a magnet-based strum which can be a bit iffy compared to the original GH controllers (mechanical/very clicky).

    • ashanrath on 01/04/2025 - 11:58

      Noticed the same thing with the strum, only used GH controllers before. Takes some getting used to, but much better for keeping quiet with headphones at night.

      Does the tilt work in Clone Hero? I got the PS4/PS5 version at launch and from memory tilt didn't work.

      Thinking about grabbing an Xbox version as well, but I already have about 15 plastic guitars 😂

      Actually it looks like this is no better than RB4 guitars for Clone Hero and I already have 2 of those. I'll probably stick to my 360 Les Paul and use my PS riffmaster on PS4 RB4

    The first time I played Rock Bank on vocals I bombed at Wonderwall so bad that I never played it again

    It makes me really happy that in the year 2025 Guitar Hero peripherals are still selling.

    Bought the PS4/PS5 version a few months ago and it works great for YARG on PC too!

    The whammy bar is in a bit of a strange spot but that's my only gripe, in general it's a lot nicer to play than the beat up guitars typically found in the second-hand market.

  • Serpeant on 01/04/2025 - 12:30

    Where is Rock Band $15?

  • Rated3 on 01/04/2025 - 12:43

    Buy now, think later? I have all the GH + RB games on my 360 with a working guitar. I don't have RB4 though.

    • JMxoxo on 02/04/2025 - 07:50

      I have all the games on my 360 too, I just need the working guitar part. I only got a working guitar for ps4/5 and rb4

    If you're interested in 5 button rhythm games in 2025 I highly recommend you check out YARG as a PC client and Rhythmverse for full-band songs

      +1 for YARG, completely replaced Rock Band 4 for me and I find it a lot more polished than Clone Hero, etc.

      In addition to RhythmVerse which has heaps of community customs, you can also find most charts from the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games uploaded on Google Drive here (RB4 is found here).

      There's even people uploading background recordings from those games here, which can be dragged into the song folder for YARG to use as well!

    • ashanrath on 01/04/2025 - 13:26

      That's USD. I'll probably pick one up eventually too, but it's likely to be double the price.

  • Rated3 on 01/04/2025 - 13:07

    BIG W has it as well if you want Reward points:
