    My daughter is a casual gamer and never used her controller once. My son on the other hand used it a lot, he has had a good experience just nor sure it is worth it.

    Not PC Friendly

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The controller itself feels great, love the weight and layout. It works well with all shield products, but not so much for pc. Even though there has been a recent driver release allowing to be used on PC, it keeps taking away game audio. I've adjusting several settings with no luck. Great controller for all the Shield products, but no quite PC friendly.

    Feels like a PS4/XboxOne quasi lovechild gamepad

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I've owned 3 of these. They feel great in the hand, the volume and capacitive controls are extremely sensitive. The d pad is floaty, and the triggers don't sense until nearly all the way pressed in across all 3 of the controllers I've had. The face buttons at time stick, the analog click in doesn't always register, and the controllers will randomly start flashing the nvidia logo/pairing button, trying to pair to a device when it's already paired. There is no way to reset the controller that I'm aware of when this happens, all that can be done is to completely let the battery drain, which can take up to 2 days at times, and then plug it in and charge it only from the cable it comes with on an AC charger and not from a pc usb port or hub. The mouse touchpad area is a great implementation that I'd like to see in more controller designs, the gamestream, when it works, and doesn't restore my remote gaming to windowed mode instead of full screen works ok, but the area where this shines is with Nvidia GRID(free download on Google Play for all Tegra enabled devices with Tegra3, Tegra4, and TegraK1, doesn't work with Tegra2, and only semi supported with a couple of Tegra3 devices, ie Asus Transformer Prime, TF200,Transformer Pad TF300, Transformer Infinity TF700(Tegra3 1.7Ghz), , Google Nexus 7(2012), A Hacked Ouya(Tegra3), Wikipad(overclocked 1.9Ghz Tegra3), & International HTC One X(Tegra3). Tegra4 devices are Madcatz M.O.J.O., EVGA Tegra Note 7, ASUS Transofrmer Infinity T TF701T, and of course the Nvidia Shield Console. The TegraK1 devices supported as of now are only the Google Tango Tablet(TegraK1 Denver Super dual core 64Bit) Nvidia Shield Tablet(TegraK1 32 bit quad core) Wifi and LTE models, as the GRID program isn't yet implemented for the Nexus 9, but should be soon. As for which devices support the Shield Hub or Tegra Zone apps, YMMV, just search and see if it lists as compatible with your device, and you may just be able to get this controller working on your device if it has support for dual band wifi with direct wifi connection support.

    Great Controller - One tip upon opening.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was a little hesitant getting this controller mainly because of the different layout of the joysticks compared to an xbox controller (my favorite kind). I have been pleasantly surprised though. It instantly connects with my Nvidia Shield tablet and has virtually no delay. The one problem I did have was when I first bought it wouldn't connect and stay connected. Turned out the battery was completely dead. I let it charge overnight and it has been perfect since. Battery lasts a long time as well.

    Best controller

    The controller is comfortable and great to use. it uses WiFi not Bluetooth so it is faster and has longer distance. I do have to reset it sometimes and I don't know why but they are improving it.

    If you have big hand this remote will work fine for you. The LB and RB and a little hard to press sometimes and those are my only complaints besides the touch start button and back button.
