Well, it doesn't have the build quality of an Xbox controller, but it feels surprisingly good in actual usage scenarios. On the one hand, part of me wishes it was wireless, but on the other I'm kind of glad it isn't because I use this primarily for streaming games using the Steam Link and PS4 Remote Play apps, and I don't want the added input latency of Bluetooth. It works amazingly well with both of these apps and finally having L3 + R3 buttons (after you update the firmware) on iOS is amazing. I was playing God of War and numerous Steam games flawlessly. What would it take for me to give it 5 stars? A little higher build quality and a cleaner cable management system. Perhaps with a removable cable and added Bluetooth option so that it can be used either way. That would make a hot version 2 idea and would justify the price, because currently for nearly $60 you're basically paying to get L3 + R3 buttons. But until someone else does it better, this is currently the best iOS controller I can recommend. Xbox controllers are easily found for $40 or less brand new and of course feel much better.
