    This controller is excellent. I wasn't expected it to be as good as it is, to be honest. I had been using an Xbox controller over Bluetooth, but this is way better. Worked on Windows and Fedora out of the box. I am using the USB stick for 2.4 GHz wireless, connectivity is faster than I had been used to with Bluetooth on my old controller. I'm considering buying another one

    Bought this for my son to use on his tablet and PC. There is a neat little switch on the bottom of the controller that toggles it from Bluetooth to XINPUT. It's seamless and fast. Perfect for our use-case. The controller function and quality are great. The controller fits our hands perfectly but it may be a little small for those with larger hands.

    I happened to stumble upon this controller and bought it randomly. The reviews online were pretty decent. Since I've started playing more games on my PC, I've been wanting to get a controller dedicated to my PC. Controller responds great, feels like an Xbox controller, which is what I'm used to. Wireless works perfectly. Because it has Bluetooth and 2.4G Wireless tech, I can switch between my PC and my phone whenever. Battery life is pretty good. Got about 9 hours or so out of the box before it died. Only issue is that there aren't any notifications to let you know the battery is dying. At least to my knowledge. I love how you can use a USB C cord to charge the controller, or you can use the provided dock that also comes with it. Overall great buy and it isn't as expensive as a regular Xbox controller.

    Solid build. Works seamlessly on windows and the steam deck dock. I was tired of replacing xbox controllers with stick drift. time will tell if these hall effect sticks take care of that issue.

    I was in the market for a new controller to use on my PC. Was initially looking at some of the more expensive options as I really wanted to have 2 back paddles. However, had this one recommended to me from a fellow PC gamer. Was in store picking up a TV so decided to go ahead and grab this (to my surprise it was on sale) to give it shot. AT PRICE I dont think there is a better option for all the extras that it comes with. Back Paddles, Hall Effect Sticks, Charging Station, and Software to update and Mapping 3 different profiles for the buttons!!! Why would you buy anything else!!!

    This controller feels premium right out of the box. The Hall effect joysticks are super smooth and accurate, with no drift issues, and the buttons feel responsive. It connects quickly to my Steam Deck, Windows PC, and even my phone with zero lag. Battery life is excellent, and the included charging dock is a nice bonus. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a versatile and reliable controller.

    This is a fantastic controller, the only issue was the Bluetooth connectivity, but that was fixed by visiting their website and downloading their software which also allows for remapping of the back buttons

    After wasting around a bill on an XBox controller with battery pack, only for it to develop drift after less than 6 months, I decided to go with one of these guys. Great product, great price, no drift.

    Great controller. Responsive and small enough that everything is easily reached even by children. I would suggest the protection plan. I have returned 2 in the last 18 months because of trigger malfunction with no drops.

    I have been using Xbox, PS4, and MSI PC controllers, so I never knew what huge difference this would make. Precise aiming, moving without drifting, and no delay is so much better that I will never go back to the standard. The fact that it comes with a base charger is a huge plus as well. I have definitely been missing out!

    I use this controller primarily for racing games on PC. It's nice having the charging stand for when the controller isn't in use, and the controller pairs to the PC within seconds once it is removed from the stand.

    Quite easy on the hand and works really well. Love the touch and grip, and doesnt hurt fingers or palm while gaming. Works well, and wireless feature works for around 2 hrs until each charge.
