Good for mobile gaming
Good controller for mobile gaming. Have no issues on cloud games or mobile games. Buttons & sticks feel great. Convectivety is a breeze. Only complaint are the magnets that hold the face covers could be stronger and lack of charging while using. Other than that, great controller. Using it on PC in a pinch is a nice feature as well.
