    My new go-to PC controller.

    I bought this controller when the Xbox One controller that I typically use to play PC games just wasn't responsive. I knew that I wanted a controller with hall effect sensors, as I have had drift problems with controllers in the past with PS4 and Switch controllers. I really like this one so far. First off, the controller cradle is a great touch. It has a space to keep the wireless dongle, and with the USB-C cable in the box, the dongle works inside the cradle just fine. Once I take it off of it, the controller wakes up automatically and connects within two seconds. This is great, usually controllers take around fifteen seconds or longer to pair to the computer, but this connects just fine. The controller is very comfortable. If you've held a Switch Pro Controller, it's kinda like one of those. It has ridges on the handles that have become commonplace with the PS5 and Xbox Series S/X controllers. There is a switch on the back of the controller that switches it between Xinput and DirectInput. I keep it on Xinput most of the time, because that's usually supported on most games. I game on Linux (because I could go on all day about how just awful Windows is, especially Windows 11), and the controller works just fine with Linux. I did not need to install any special drivers to get it to work, it just works out of the box. If you're looking for a good controller to play your PC games on, get this.

    This controller is amazing. The versatility of connecting it via usb-c, wireless dongle, and Bluetooth is convenient. The coolest feature to me is that when the dongle is connected to the dock. The cord from the computer to the dock still transfers data to the dongle. Allowing you to use the controller this way. The controller feels great in the hands and the hall effect joysticks are durable.

    This thing connects seemlessly to the 2.g ghz dongle on the steam deck and works great! Does the same for windows. Highly recommend!

    Excellent controller. It even has a great d-pad, which is rare nowadays even from the greats (e.g., Nintendo Pro Controller horrendous d-pad).
