Customers highly value the CTRL App-Enabled 360° Motion Game Controller for its budget-friendly price point and the inclusion of a fidget spinner. Many customers find the controller to be a fun and enjoyable way to play games, with some even suggesting it as a great gift for kids. While some customers have expressed concerns about the battery life, the overall sentiment towards the controller's features is positive.
Being able to use this with apps and tracking your stats is pretty cool. But you have to download a bunch of separate apps and it's very limited as well. It also only lights up briefly when it turns on or syncs. I originally thought you can have it light up and do things with the lights, but you can't. Also at times, it can be a bit wobbly and makes a lot of noise, especially if you spin it on a surface. Either mine is defective or these have issues. Otherwise, the construction seems solid. You also can't use this without batteries installed. If you remove the batteries to save them, it throws the balance off. So even if the batteries are dead, you need to keep them in there. The batteries should have been put at the base, not the edges. So for the clearance price, it's ok. But for the normal price, it is totally not worth it. Review is based on the price I paid. Otherwise, I would give it lower stars.

A few of us use spinners in our cubicles. It's not noisy but if your office is quiet like a library or if you sit in a "pod" cubicle, the circumstances may be different for you, especially if those around you have sensitive ears and hates these spinners. Two of us have the Zekpro brand & love it! One of the other guys got a very cheap one on Amazon & hates it. The glow in the dark feature is "meh". You have to hold it to a bright light for awhile & the glow doesn't last very long. Kids on the other hand, I'm sure get a kick that it glows at all. I don't know who is supposedly clocking three minute spins on these. I've gotten about a minute and a half to two minutes max. That's enough time for me while I'm waiting for a computer to reboot or waiting for a file to upload. I wasn't interested in paying a mint for a spinner. I'm not interested in taking it apart & removing or adding different weights. I just basically wanted something to fidget with that could fit in a pocket, engage me for a couple of minutes & didn't become garbage when it drops on the floor. Mission accomplished. If you are looking for these things as well for either you or someone else, then I recommend this spinner.

For the price paid, it's a fun little toy. I expected to be able to control the lights, but there doesn't appear to be a way to do that. We don't use the app much, but fun if/when you're really, really bored to work your way through the challenges.
