    I would have given this 5 stars if it wasnt for my experiences with this company. They are missleading with this product and another product of the same name. Both have the same layout and look almost the same. But one only works for android and has a phone clip with it while this works for everything. Having a portable controller for my bag is great. But the hassle I went through to get it is inexcusable. Name your products better.

    I own the wired USB version and this version and find the bluetooth version to be problematic. The Direction pads, buttons and triggers all work as advertised. This is a great SNES style controller and I had no difficulty using it with Steam and Emulation. My problem is there is not a reliable way to turn the device on, you must use the same button that initiates bluetooth connection. After you are done using the device, it will stay on until the battery dies. I find I have to delete the item from my computer after use if I intend to reconnect later which mean the device will occasionally go into Bluetooth connection mode. This is frustrating and just rediculous. For around the same price, I can buy a PS4 or Xbox controller without these problems. And for much less, I can buy a 15' USB cable to use my wired controller with none of these problems. If you want a better experience, I recommend the wired controller and make accomodations.

    Unfortunately had to return because it refused to sync properly even after multiple attempts to reset. Otherwise, great feeling controller and really replicates the original feel of the SNES. Would've loved to have kept it, but ended up getting the Pro 2 and so far not running into any issues with that one.

    Great retro controller for Switch, Android and PC. I have used this on several retro titles and side scrollers. Feels great for that retro feel with all the necessary buttons for modern games.

    Good joysticks, supports Switch motion control and vibration, wireless on several platforms. Bought as a replacement for the same model which lasted 3+ years of heavy use, not sure if this one is more durable.
