    This will allow you to move your droid with arm movements. It’s fun for a while but I go back to the app after a while. It’s not bad considering it was free with purchase.

    I was a little hesitant at first with the Force Band. But I tell you what Sphero did a great job with this controller for the bb-8. Very cool little electronic toy. If your into cool electronics this is for you. Highly recommend.

    The force band is a great companion to the BB-8 Sphero. However it is limited to its own world and after a few tries it becomes a collectible.

    not really fair to review this product, it came free with the purchase of R2 Q5 star wars robot. it looks cool, and its supposed to work with action figures in some capacity. sorry couldn't be more helpful on this one.

    Got this for the B.B.-8 sphero. It has not been that accurate as displayed in the ad, but maybe with practice it will improve. Using the app has been easier for us.

    The band works great with the BB units but not with the R2 units. The app you can download is much easier but the band does look great.

    Connection Issues

    It is very difficult to get the Force Band to connect to a droid. You have to find just the right spot on the droid to put the Force Band on to get it to connect and it is different on each droid (We have a BB8 and an R2Q5 and 2 Force Bands). Also the droids do not respond to the Force Band as well as the training app. Maybe with more practice we can get this working better.

    It takes some time to get use to of the gestures of the force band to do the things you want the droid to do. is an added accessory to have with your Star Wars collection.

    These things move with excellent precision and speed! I’ve had no issues whatsoever with the app or the droids. There is no delay at all! It’s a bit touchy in the sensitivity area but that is just great response. It can take a bit to get used to but well worth it. The force band takes a bit to get tuned right but it’s pretty cool one you get it right. The band is kinda cool but not a needed addition.

    I bought this for my 12 year old daughter to go with her BB8. It works perfectly. It also gives you the ability to collect Star Wars Holocrons even when you're not using it to control the BB8.

    Word of advice: Do not use anywhere near a balcony. My son and I did not know the hand motion for stop and our droid fell off the balcony as we were yelling no no no!! Luckily it landed on something soft. At any rate, it takes some practice to use but once you get the hang of it, it’s a cool way of controlling ur droid.

    Heads up took a long time to update the firmware like over 2 hours but worth it since its responsive. I had this item in the past and it and return it because it was because it wasn't great but with update it a great toy to control your R2D2

    What can I Say, it was free with the purchase of R2 Q5. So now me and my son has 2 which is cool cause we both can use the force. I wouldn't buy it by itself though. I don't like the calibration on it. I don't think it's in perfect unison with the sphero products. But it's a cool idea none the less.

    It was hard to download the app to iPhone, had to ensure updated and and enough storage. Once finally downloaded app, still trying to figure how to use with the robots. Came free with r2d2 so that was a plus, but seems will work with all.
