Easy to connect and has a good feel. Feels better build than I had originally thought. The packaging had a nice premium feel to it.
The buttons feel okay. The directional pad feels mushy and the triggers feel like they have too much travel. I'm sure I could have gotten a better controller for the money, but I was thinking about getting a Nexus Player to play around with anyways. Plus the controller looks nice and gets the job done.

Asus uses a game controller layout that all gamers are used to. The gamepad is light and comfortable in the hands. Setup is extremely easy. Only downside is that it is not rechargeable.

Exactly What My Nexus Player Was Looking For

I don't regret picking this up for my Nexus Player requirements. I'm able to play Asphalt8 with no problems now. I have only tested it out on that and PacMan256.
It is light in weight and isn't rechargeable, but you can use rechargeable AA batteries.
I'll do more testing later this year, but I'm in no rush - I want to try and load some console and arcade emulators and find out if it is seen by them.

The responsiveness and button grip is awesome!!! You can not only play games using it but also you can control your nexus tv player for tv viewing experience.

Great Controller for Nexus Player

The Asus Gamepad is built for the Nexus Player. It's a great controller for playing android games. Unfortunately there's only limited number of games you could use it on the Nexus Player. Hopefully there'll be more games in the future so that the Asus Gamepad will be maximized for it's potential as a game controller.

A much better build quality than the small remote that comes with the nexus player, but not quite Sony and Microsoft peripheral build quality. Easy to use, and works well.

Great Controller, Limited Use

The controller is designed for the Nexus Player. It does what it does well. The only drawback is that there is pretty limited use for it at present. Hopefully as Android TV matures, the controller will be a bigger value.

Excellent gamepad if you own a Nexus Player. A lot better build quality than the remote included with the device. Feels like a cross between an Xbox and Playstation controller.

I was excited to try this out with some of my favorite android TV games but I was a little disappointed to find out that it's not compatible with a lot of games and it feels a little clumsy at times. Hopefully it will work better with some of the newer apps that come out in the future.

Compliments my Nexus Player well

Nice addition to my Nexus Player but I don't really use it very often since there's not that many good games available on Android TV. It does come in handy when the Nexus Player drops the connection with the remote though.

For the price you can't beat this one. Solid build quality, easy connection to any android device and great performance are all the reason you need to but this one!

The remote is okay for some games, but this makes most games much easier to play and get the most out of the games, and there's no issues with connecting to the Nexus Player at all.

This controller worked great - however the nexus player didn't when it game to gaming. I played Modern Combat and it lagged considerably. Pay the extra money for an nvidia shield. You will not regret it!
