    At the end of the day, this is a quality controller. However, I have two problems. The first is personal as I am partial to the xbox controller's off set thumbsticks. Using this controller requires a bit of adjustment and genrally feels awkward to me. Im sure this will soon become second nature. The other problem is a real issue. From time to time, this controller has issues connecting to my devices. The issues occur with my phone as well as my tablet so I feel it is safe to assume the complications reside within the controller. However, the connection seems to function properly about 90% of the time.

    How did they get it so wrong

    The controller did work and connected to my phone via bluetooth. But I realized it's problems in minutes of use. The triggers are very heavy but thankfully they're not just on off buttons like a wii controller. And the joysticks are very slippery. I found my thumbs sliding from one side of the joystick to the complete other side. Even when using more pressure this was a problem. How can a controller that costs more then a new Xbox one controller have these problems For $60 it wasn't worth it at all. I really need a good bluetooth controller but this isn't the one

    Awesome gaming controller for use with Android, iPad and Windows computers. I purchases this for use with my Android phone and Tablet. Pairing was super easy and quick. Everything works as expected, Keep in mind that the game/apps that you intend to use the controller with need to support controllers to work best on those that I play it worked great!

    This controller isn't bad, little bulky for the features, doesn't always want to stay connected with the Bluetooth. Wish it was both android and iOS compatible and PC/Mac compatible. Overpriced.

    To put it simply, JUST BUY IT! If your in the market for a bluetooth controller look no further. Has a great feel in the hand a perfecr weight and width. The buttons are more tactile than my Xbox One controller. Connected immediatly to my phone to play on the Oculus headset. Joysticks dont stick and triggers feel good. 10/10 from me. Enjoy!

    I had a very hard time getting this thing to sync to my PC. Internet searching showed that a lot of other people had this issue (check yourself). One out of the ~10 pages I found online actually helped me and it was a very unnecessarily elaborate process. I wish I would have remembered the web page so I could post it here (or kept it for my future self). One thing I do know, the SteelSeries Engine (SSE) is required, even though the manual says nothing of it. So get that. Good luck with this though. Once I got it working, I started to realize that the triggers where way too sensitive. I swear air would set them off. Luckily, the SSE let you apply deadzone settings, so it triggered at a certain threshold of press. After that I still started to realize there was a chance after powering the controller on that random buttons were being pressed at about 1/4 second rate. One time, this managed to navigate my menus in such a way that it saved my game over a save I wanted to keep :(. The only solution I've found to this was to turn it off and back on again. The second power on generally would make that stop. Once I finally got my PC to recognize it and when I got it to stop randomly pressing buttons for me, it was a great controller! Of course, I eventually have to turn it back off and hope that when turned back on, the button pressing madness won't do something dumb again. I need to return it, but I'm lazy.

    This is a great controller I use for my Lg V20, connects very fast no extra steps needed. The only cons are it's expensive for a controller that requires double A batteries, but it last long, just wish it would charge with usb.
