    With my Samsung Galaxy Edge S7 and the Samsung VR working great, the experience is even better with the remote. It just makes sense. Now we just need to get Samsung to make the system work with 2 remotes. Hmmmm

    This remote works great. It's a lot easier to play games and navigate around on the VR. Without it you have to use the buttons on the right side of the VR with is easy to lose track of, at least for me anyway.

    Worth having if you have Samsung vr. Even better with price drop. Came with bundle games but it's the games chosen already.Downside is limited to what apps and games it can it be used with. Would recommend.

    Controller only works with Samsung devices, unless you write or use third party code. With Gear VR being phased out, wouldn't recommend unless you find it on sale.

    happy to see a controller for gear vr. The pad on the head gear is too hard to use. This controller offers motion as well, which a regular pad does not. Hopefully now they can offer more apps.

    The controller is easy to use and easy to connect. While the product actually does not come with a manual on how to connect, you can simply connect the controller in the Oculus app under settings.

    VR is still weak as a medium, but this is fun for a little while. I got it on clearance for 3 dollars though. I'd never pay anything close to MSRP for it.

    The controller adds ease of use instead of having to constantly reach up to swipe or tap when using the VR. Had to buy it later as the original purchase did not include a controller.

    This is so much better then always holding your hand up to control everything. Plus very to easy to reset so it points straight. Great for shooter games. Easy to sync to head set.

    Having the Samsung VR for a while tapping on the side of the Google is not a great idea. The controller is the solution. It works making the VR experience so much better. Must have.

    Not much to say. I picked up a spare remote for use with the GearVR headset. As far as I'm concerned it's working properly.

    My kids love this. They took it straight out of the box and began using it. I think you can pick things up and turn things in the VR. It's cool.
