    This is a great motion and touch pad controller for the Gear VR headset. So while it has limited use, it's a fairly functional controller and highly recommended if you have the compatible headset.

    This is far batter than reaching up to touch the headset however it has slight issues. Doesn't always connect, loses accuracy and has to be aligned constantly. When it's working it's so easy and smooth to operate. Very intuitive.

    Got this controller to make it easier for playing apps on the Samsung VR glasses. On some apps it works great where you just need the trigger but when you need it for aiming sometimes it gets out of sync. Haven't used it enough to figure it out.

    Did not enhance my usage of the gear VR as I anticipated. A bit buggy in implementation, controller gets hung up, and it seems to add to the overheating issues that have plegued Samsung VR.

    this helps with making the VR easier to use. It does get out of sync a few times and that is a problem. Overall it does what it is suppose to do.

    I added this controller to my 2nd gen Gear VR and the experience while browsing and gaming has improved. With other controllers, there's usually a lag and it doesn't always work with some apps. This is works in every app.

    Easy to set up, easy to use, and works a lot better with the Gear VR interface than a more complex, full-sized controller. A lot of Samsung's offerings are designed for this controller. It has a suprising wealth of features for its small size. Every space on the surface has been utilized efficiently. It does go through batteries fairly quickly and doesn't have a rechargeable option, but otherwise, it's great.

    I currently own the oculus rift and touch VR, as well the gear vr using an s7 and I must say this little controller is a must have if you are going to be using the mobile vr. The controller should have been released a lot sooner. The Gear Vr is ok, but mostly useless without the controller. The new controller gives the level of control needed to actually use the gear vr. a 100% must have if using mobile vr for anything more then movies.
