    Great controller. Feels like a high quality item and I personally love the ergonomics, much more so than the official Xbox controller. However, I find myself accidentally hitting buttons at the bottom since I tend to rest my fingers there. With that said, I still recommend the controller if using the Nvidia Shield.

    Purchased this to use GameStream in living room. Expected 'futuristic' look to impede with the comfort of the controller and was very mistaken. Very comfortable to use. Only word of warning is the bottom 3 buttons between the 2 joysticks went completely missed for days. Great for aesthetics once you know/remember they're there.

    Great wired controller, weak wireless function

    I’m on the fence with this one… the “wireless” function of the controller was initially tricky to setup with my pc. Meaning that it would always show as being connected via Bluetooth but wouldn’t always work wirelessly. So when gaming it was always 50/50 that it would work wirelessly. Now as of 2 months in, the wireless function of the controller does not work at all, strictly using it via the supplied usb wire. Multiple attempts to reset/ reconnect still no go. This is a new 2021 PC build with no other Bluetooth enabled device problems. As for the in the hands feel and game play I would give it 5 stars. In closing a great “wired” not “wireless”gaming controller.

    This is my second controller and is a must have have if you have the nvidia shield pro and the geforce now subscription, the response it's awesome and the ergonomic are great but the durability it's not the best the plastic top of the sticks gets mushy in less than a year (my recommendation is get the best buy warranty).

    Works so well I had to buy a second one to multiplayer games. Does not compete with any aftermarket controllers I have tried. The haptics/vibrate/capabilities are equal to PlayStation or Xbox. The only downside is that I am pretty sure it is only usable with Shield & MAYBE PC. Does not work with Nintendo Switch.

    Solid controller. I use it all the time but I like a PlayStation controller better. PS controllers will work with a Shield. Biggest issue is not being able to change the Google assistant button to something like a system menu button. This is a limit of the Android TV platform. Would be better if it had a couple of mor buttons.

    It doesn't feel bad in the hand but I don't like where the home and other function buttons like back have been relocated to. And I also don't like headphone jack positioning. But it does feel good in the hand though not as beefy or solid as the original. I haven't found a game yet that has the haptic feedback working.
