    This controller has met all my expectations. Even though it is a Bluetooth connection, I was able to play several fast paced games with hardly any lag. I would recommend this controller to those who want to elevate this iOS gaming experience.

    If you’re looking for an iOS compatable bluetooth gaming controller, look no further. I use this on my Apple TV and iPad running iOS 11, haven’t had any issues. Makes for much more enjoyable and comfortable gaming experience.

    I was skeptical about playing video games on my Apple TV at first, but after I bought this controller I can't stop playing now. The battery lasts a long time and all the controls are very responsive. Buying a second one ASAP!

    Controller works great on both the iPad & Apple TV. Battery life and range is excellent. It does power itself off after inactivity. Not a lot of apps support the controller on the iPad but so far every game we purchased on the Apple TV is.

    At the moment, this is probably the best overall controller for Apple TV, which is more than just simply a controller. And is made specifically to work with Apple. Even comes with a Thunderbolt connector and cable.

    Works great with all apple products, bought to use for Fortnite for my son’s iPhone. Works just as described. I would definitely recommend if you prefer to use a controller instead of a phone to play games.

    Works flawlessly with my 2017 iPad Pro 12.9 and my iPhone XS Max. Not a single complaint there. GTA San Andreas, Grid, Dust, even the flight sim Infinite Flight, they all work awesome. Battery life great too.

    Got this for my nephew so he could play Fortnite and other games on his phone and tablet easier. He also wanted something like this so it made my job of getting something easier as well. The reviews are accurate and the description is spot on. This controller is only good on Apple products. Do not try to use it on Android and I will assume that it won't work on a Windows device either. All in all, my nephew said it worked find. Some lag happened but is not consistent and didn't effect his gameplay. Because it is not perfect (and I don't think any bluetooth device is) is why it got 4 stars.

    I was looking for a controller that was compatible with my ipad to provide some on the go gaming so I wouldn't burn down my cell phone battery. This is a very comfortable controller and similar to the Xbox design.

    This came bundled with my Apple TV 4K and is perfect for my kids. They can play casual games and charging via a lightning port adds to the convenience. It just as comfortable to hold and use as my Xbox controllers.

    I had a few gift certificates and decided to buy this item for fun. It's a decent controller that works well. It charges with a lightning cable and that's it! You're good to go to play via Bluetooth on your tablet or phone.
