    I bought the Nvidia controller and used it for 2 days before the top button broke. Returned it to Best Buy for a replacement with absolutely no issues! Otherwise I really like it!

    Personally, I've never been a huge gamer but with having the Nvidia shield and this controller it's been nice to play a game here and there. This controller feels like quality, you can tell the difference. It also feels comfortable to hold, natural.

    Bought this because it was on sale for $19 and it pairs aimlessly with the shield tv. It’s not the most comfortable controller out there, but it works great and the price was on point. Emulation on the shield and this was a perfect combo

    First I love Nvida Shield and with the controller together its fantastic. I can play games and plug in my headphones into the controller and boom. I'm in a world to myself for a few minutes. The controller is extremely ergonomic and charges by usb charger. The Nvida Shield will let you know when it needs a charge. Its a must for Nvida shield Tv

    The NVIDIA Shield controller is designed to take full advantage of all that the NVIDIA Shield can do, with a built-in microphone for Google Assistant and a headphone jack along with dedicated volume and Android system controls. Unlike other controller options, it connects via Wi-Fi so there are no latency issues to contend with.

    Purchase this product in order to play my games via Steam in which first of all you will require a dongle to have it recognized by a desktop unless you have Bluetooth already in it. In order to have this pair it is pretty tricky as you have to look for the number of blinks the light flash and once pair the light turns off. However it would not pair easily. If you plan to use this for steam it will recognize it but you will have to configure every button manually. Once the game was opened; the controller was nowhere to be found paired. Used it for my phone and never worked on the games I download it. Yes it is hard for the connectivity/compatibility.

    This controller looks much nicer in person and is pretty comfortable. It's not quite as nice as an Xbox One controller, but it's still pretty nice. You need this if you want to enjoy games on your Nvidia Shield. Recommended.

    I am not a gamer, but this thing has worked flawless since I've gotten it. It paired very easily with my Nvidia Shield TV. Audio works well, too. The hardware seems to be solidly built and will probably last a long time. It seemed a little pricey (as I'd like a 2nd one), but we'll see how it holds up over time.

    Compared to other wireless controllers used with the shield pro, I've noticed that this has the least latency. I enjoy using it to control the shield as well. It doesn't blow my socks off, as I prefer the left stick to be above the DPAD, but it does what it's supposed to do. 4/5.
