    Great Value Proposition

    Works great with my iPhone 17 pro even with a case! Buttons are responsive and the joysticks are nice to use. Functionality wise it seems to be similar to the more expensive competition for a fraction of the price. I also enjoy the physical connection versus other similar controllers that use Bluetooth, however that can come down to personal preference. Only downside I can think of is that it does feel a bit cheap and some of the buttons can be a little noisy, but those issues don’t outweigh the value proposition in my opinion.

    Great buy. Inexpensive. Quality little controller. Best bang for the money. iPhone users read instructions to switch to iOS.

    It great for budget! This is my first time using a mobile controller as I wanted to give it a try now that fortnite back on IOS. I tend to lean more towards of a competitive gamer so this controller best used to be used for that but just your average every day used for mobile games it’s a good controller for only $30.

    I'm 42, been gaming since Mario Bros. On NES. This is just my opinion and it's as detailed as I can be. I have only played Destiny: Rising on my Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra. I like this little guy. For $30 it's pretty impressive. Can't say anything on longevity as I haven't had it long. The sticks feel good in terms of tension and movement. I would like them slightly longer. But the click isn't too stiff and it feels good. I think the natural deadzone for the outside is a bit high as I feel I have to move the left stick more than I'd like for small adjustments to aiming with any scopes in a game, but that may also be the games responsiveness and not the controller. The face buttons and d-pad feel firm and the tactile click is comparable to an Xbox or PS5 controller. The triggers, unfortunately aren't analogue but they have a nice soft tactile click. The bumpers are the same. Only other gripe is that the XYAB buttons require a little too much pressure to actuate. When I'm in the heat of a gunfight I tend to tap the XYAB buttons lightly as I'm trying to be quick, and every once in a while it doesn't respond.

    I bought this for use with the Samsung Galaxy fold 6 because unlike most controllers, this has the USB c connector on the left side, which is way better for the galaxy series because it allows the screen to be up. If it's on the right side, the screen extends below the controller, which is far from ideal. The app is ok, but not great, and may be sketchy according to antivirus software. I didn't notice any issues. In the bright side, once you configure it and update the firmware you can remove the app and the controller still works fine.

    This doesn't have fancy features like wireless, or even analog triggers, but its well built and great for most phone games at a reasonable price. It fits my fold7 with no issues and I like it. Some games also dont recognize it, but there's tools for that. If you like codm look for the higher end gamesir controllers.

    Great Christmas present for my kids, compatible on IOS, and sturdy build, the USB-C connector has the ability to wiggle in place so it’s not worked loose by continuous removal, make sure to read instructions on which mode it is as you need to press a key combo for the various device compatibilities, which is not defaulted to iOS.

    Not a bad item but it just didn't work well with several of the roblox games for my son. He kept getting frustrated with it. I decided to return it because I figured it would end up just laying around the house not being used.

    I love this thing. I got it after selling my Steam Deck because I realized most of what I used it for (streaming from my PC, emulation) could be accomplished with my S22 Ultra-- and I was correct. The ergonomics could be a little better, but for the price this thing can't be beat.
