Fun product with simple use hard to justify price. It's better to get a phone mount for an oem control.

Fits the Note 20 Ultra without a case. I was skeptical because I didn't want to take it out of my case but it feels really sturdy and tight. Connects via USB C so there is really no lag. It's almost like having the Nintendo switch except the XBOX version. Now to find a case for it....

Purchased this on sale for $50. For that price it is a good deal. It fits a naked Note20 Ultra. I purchased this for android games mostly. It works as advertised. I just don't believe this is worth $100...especially when it does not come with any kind of case. It compact, but you shouldn't just throw this in a backpack and risk getting the buttons damaged. For full price it should include a case and some kind of gamepass trial.

Excellent peripheral for your smart phone. Auto connects as wired Xbox controller in most apps, but if you download the Kishi app on Android it will read as a Razer Kishi controller in your games. Ergonomics are decent, rubber pads on inner holder can be removed very easily, expanding phone support and increasing chances that your phone will fit with a case. Tested Samsung A01, Pixel 3a and Pixel 4a with cases. A/B/X/Y button spacing is a bit far.
Tested Android games, emulators, and streaming apps like Steam Link, PSPlay and Xbox Game Pass all with great results.
Only caveat is that battery does show to drain if left idle connected, so best to remove after a gaming session

This controller is fantastic and truly makes my Note 20 Ultra feel like the Microsoft version of the Nintendo Switch. I use it to play Xbox games through their new streaming service included with their Xbox Live Ultimate. You can also use it to connect and remotely stream from your Xbox to anywhere else in your home. So when my wife wants to use the bedroom TV to watch a show, I can pick up where I left off with any game thanks to this controller. One of the best features of this controller is it connects through USB-c rather than Bluetooth so there is virtually zero input lag. Before this device would connect my elite series 2 controller through Bluetooth to play, and while it did work, it could have been better. This device fills that gap and gives a quality gaming experience with virtually any android phone.

This controller connects perfectly to my phone and since it uses the usb port there is no lag! I use it for gamepass and ant stream arcade and it works great!!! I have to mention i got it on sale for 49.99 which is awesome.

Bought this to play some mobile games on Android. It works with Xbox Game Pass, emulated games and remote play apps. But when it comes to controller support on actual mobile games, it's hit or miss. Some games support it, some games are picky on what controller to use and some games don't work with anything.
Great hardware, buttons feel good, phone feels secured in there but having a Galaxy Note 20 Ultra, it is a stretch to get the phone to fit in. I'm afraid I'm going to break the ribbon on the back every time I want to remove my phone from it.
I ended up returning the controller because it didn't fit my need for it. But I blame the state of mobile games and Android more than the device, which is why I'm still giving it a high rating and would recommend it to others.

This controller is the perfect side dish to your android phone. If you do emulation, this will be a must have. The only downside is it doesn't support games like genshin impact.

Its an ok phone controller but not worth it. Clunky clicky awkward feeling. Spend 20 more dollars on the new version. Old out dated save your money. Its not what you hope it is trust me. Not what a real gamer is looking for.

My son got this for Christmas. He loves it especially with car racing games. It's great because we didn't have to worry about buying an expensive gaming system. We just both Xbox pass.

Love this little guy and everything about it. I can bring Fallout and all my other games with me wherever I go. The controller itself fits my hands nicely and is comfortable during use. I like that it folds and locks for storage. The only issue I had was related to my phone. I have Pixel 7 pro and the camera bump interferes with the fit. The fix was simple, I cut approximately 3/16" of padding off and it fits beautifully now. I have not experienced any scratching of my camera lens, but always check for clearance.

This is a pretty good controller, its feels nice in the hand, and I can tell with XCloud that the input latency is ever so slightly lowered. Turning your phone into what is essentially a Nintendo switch is pretty nice.
The triggers are my biggest complaint, they feel slightly awkward, not really sure how to describe it, and I'm sure its subjective and depends on your own personal preferences and hand sizes.
Over all though for 100 dollars, 20 dollars more than the non-xbox version, I don't think it's worth it. It is a really nice controller, but I feel as if it is a 50-60 dollar product. I ultimately returned it.

Works very well with my Google Pixel 3a. I have to take my phone case off to connect the controller though, so keep in mind that if you use a phone case, this may be a little impractical to use. Wish there was a way to make the phone fit with the case, but this is great quality beyond that. It is a bit pricey, which affects the value score.
