    I bought this controller because I was using my PS4 controller for about a year to play PC games. The PS4 controller worked for some stuff, because of the DSfix application I was using. I decided to pick this controller up so I wouldn't have to jump through hoops in order to play games. Plus, I really like SteelSeries products.

    Bought this controller to use with Samsung Gear VR. Works great with all the Oculus apps. Some of the cardboard and sideload vr apps have some problems, but still works. Quality is very good. Solid construction and shape is similar to standard xbox and PS controllers. Bluetooth connection was easy on Samsung Gallaxy S7.

    The controller paired perfectly with my galaxy S7 edge. I had no lag issues and the performance was quick and responsive. I had tried pairing my PS4 controller to the phone previously but it wouldn't work and I was getting frustrated. The steel series controller solved a problem and best buy having it on the shelf was awesome.

    I paired it with my phone, and except for the lack of compatible games, it worked quite well with Crazy Snowboard (an OLD Android game). I haven't paired it with my laptop yet, but I don't anticipate any problems.

    I've been using this controller with my Android tablet and so far I'm pleased with it. It works as you would expect a controller to work and is decently comfortable. It feels like holding an Xbox 360 controller and is of similar size. Things I don't quite like about it are the small analog sticks, which aren't grippy enough, in my opinion, and the strangely shaped d-pad which isn't very accurate. Neither of these have made the controller unusable, but I would consider them before purchasing. Overall I would recommend this controller if you're looking for something universal.

    Purchased to have a controller with the gear vr as it's the only controller to properly function with said device, and it has been great. Never have any connectivity issues and the battery life is pretty good.

    This controller was easy to pair up with my phone for use with both the our phones and VR Gear. It works great with the games we have so far and we will likely find other uses for than with just our phones. We are very happy with it.

    I bought this to use with my Samsung Gear VR that came with my pre-ordered Galaxy s7. It's a great, intuitive controller and a good size. Definitely made navigating the Gear VR much easier!

    I purchased this one after researching around the web. I wanted a bluetooth controller for my Samsung phine to use with the Gear VR and most sites concured that thismwas the best one. They were right, it's great to handle, good quality and responsive. If you're looking for the same get this one.

    For me everything the setup for this was very simple and fast. The only issue i had was the triggers sensativity needed to be adjusted. During play the game would act as if i was holding one or both of the triggers slightly, leaving "idle" impossible. I went into the steelseries engine app on my laptop and adjusted the triggers deadzone to fix the issue, rendering my play with the triggers altered and much less sensitive than i prefer. Although interesting thing to note is when i changed the batteries after the first pair died the issue went away. So maybe the stock batteries were affecting something inside and causing a malfunction. New batteries made the controller work flawlessly.

    The quality of the controller is great. The toggles are lacking a little behind the Xbox one controller, however these are the best bluetooth mobile gaming controller. Recommend to purchase.

    I love the feel of this controller, you can tell that a lot of effort was put into its design. However, half the time the triggers and other buttons wouldn't respond, and when they do they are far to touchy, setting off auto fire and randomly navigating through menus like a ghost. This happens even with the latest drivers and software installed, after reinstalling the software, restarting the controller, and restarting the computer. I say stick with a mouse and keyboard, but if you want a decent Bluetooth PC controller, look elsewhere.

    I love this controller works perfectly with gear vr only downside is it takes batterus but your arm doesn't hurt from holding it up too the track pad on the gear vr playing smash hit or any turret shooter but it's also the only way to play hero bound my personal favorite on the gear vr
