    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.

    Great product! Worth the money.

    The controller is very durable. The battery life lasts a long time. I had no problems getting it synced to the unit. I should’ve purchased this long ago. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who has Apple TV, it makes playing the games a whole lot easier. For the price and what you get this was a good purchase. It even comes with an accessory to hold your cellphone. I purchased one and liked it so much I bought a second one.
