    Works great with my Dell Gaming computer! Was looking for a controller to make PC gaming like playing on my Xbox console. This is the perfect thing and wat mkes it even better is you can in conjunction with the controller use the keyboard hot buttons makes transitioning between weapons in a game even my re seamless.

    Functionality with all is my devices was alright but the controller felt cheap in the hands. If you’re looking for a fairly inexpensive controller that works with windows, mac, Xbox etc. then it’s a good buy. Personally I opted for the elite 2 as it is more expensive but feels a lot better and provides more customization options, which is worth the price difference in my opinion.
