    Most people I see using controllers on their P.Cs are either repurposing an xbox controller, or they are using a cheap piece of junk. This controller is actually really awesome, the build quality is fantastic, and you can say for sure that it is your pc controller. I wouldn't say there is anything special if not for the build quality though. pretty standard, but still really cool.

    I bought this controller to work with my Samsung gear vr headset. I've been using it for months now and it's excellent. No issues whatsoever. Even works with other games and features. I'm happy I made the purchase.

    Coming from the XBOX world, this controller felt great in the hand, and button controls were easy to learn. Bluetooth connectivity was an ease to use. Battery life is great. Would definitely recommend.

    You would be better off buying one of those cheaper controllers for like $15 or less, and STILL get a controller whose quality is the same as this $60 heap of plastic mess. The plastic feels soo cheaply done, as though this were simply another way to make money and they don't mind how the customers react. The only thing about this controller that is worth at most $20 is that it runs off of AA batteries. That's a downfall. Had it been rechargeable, it would've been nice. It is simply a glorified RC controller. The triggers don't work like you'd expect a $60 controller to do so. They are difficult to pull, and only activate when pulled all the way to the base. Stay away from this controller!

    Works excellently with Gear VR (Samsung Galaxy S7) over Bluetooth and with my desktop via micro USB. It feels like a nice cross between a Xbox One and PS4 controller and is made of pretty nice plastic.

    Overpriced Paperweight

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The instructions are pitiful and don't tell you how to use it. You already have to be an expert. I installed the software then tried to follow their vague instructions online only they don't match their illustrations. The instructions say I have to connect via USB using a wire not included (and no indication of where to get it). Fortunately the USB wire for my Bluetooth headphones fit, but did nothing. The Steelseries website does not provide any additional information except to go to "steelseries.com/stratusXLA/start" which is supposed to provide "more detailed product information" and only returns "404 Page not found!". I tried getting it to work with Steam only nothing worked and there was no indication it was paired with it other than what was shown in Windows 10. The buttons did nothing and all this overpriced paperweight did was blink. None of the controls work and nothing to show what the other controls are for. The attached images are the only English instructions and pages provided on the operation of this device. All the other pages are in different languages. What good are instructions that don't show how to use it and what the buttons are for? Very disappointed and returning today.
