    Works as advertised. My old controller was on the fritz this one is a great replacement. The multi-color feature is nice and the grips on handles are an added bonus.

    Bought this for playing in pc and phone. Works fine on supported games. iPad and Mac it’s not working at this time of the review. But tried in iOS 14.5 beta release works fine. Currently it’s powered by 2 AA batteries, battery life is good, going on for about 3 months. The grip of the controller is improved with micro textures on the handles and triggers. Got that on sale, VFM

    I love this controller! Was hesitant at first considering that it's slightly bigger than my Logitech controller, but got used to it. I use this for my PC and have not ran into trouble other than it not working because Windows didn't update. The trackpad is very clicky, but the buttons and triggers feel nice and have a slight resistance to them that feels satisfying when pressed down.

    I caught a great deal! Don't be cheap and not add the protection plan, once your controller gets stick-drift, you can return it and they’ll refund your money on a gift card. Then you can purchase a new one for equal or less value.
