    These were popular last year so I grabbed one for my son. Well I’m not 100 percent sure about gaming accessories bc I had already got him a portal so this was the same thing as a portal and we never opened it.

    For the person who could use it, it worked great. My son couldnt get it to work no matter what adaptor we tried. He has a Motorola phone. My sons cousin could get it to work and she loved it. She had an Iphone.

    So far it's been great. Little annoying that I can't use it without Wi-Fi but for the most part it's been great

    Breaks too easily. Cables on the inside get torn by the controller itself.

    Its good, but not for the price. It doesnt feeling like a well spent 100 dollars. Especially since it doesnt support many games in the Play/App Store. For 50 id consider it worth it but not 100. Ita nice for emulator games for Nintendo games. Maybe work wiith EA to get it configured for their games. Honestly software needs a lot of work.

    Me and my son enjoy this a great deal. Only thing is it would be nice if we didn't have to remove our cases from our phone before using
