    Great option for Mac users

    Very familiar layout, great battery life, low latency. Charges with a lightning connector. Can be problematic with some games where a little button mapping might be required for you to have a more comfortable playing experience but overall solid and pretty universally compatible. I would recommend.

    Almost…

    …great. However, i have reached the point of returning this item so many times. I use yhe contoller to play a single game i have installed on 2 different iPads. Ine at the office, one at home. So many times the unit just wants to turn in circles to the left. I read where supposedly this is an indicator of a need to charge…but after only 20-45 min of use? Other tunes, it works perfect…or not at all. Even though the iPad as well as the game indicates the controller is connected. Frustrating.
