    Bought this for my 6 year old daughter. Love the colors and designs of it. Price was low. Decent quality for its price. Works great, and controller is very light. Easy to use plug and play.

    In today's market for controllers even a wired one is usually in the ballpark of $50+ dollars. But this one is very low price. But because of low price you can expect the drawbacks that would come with it. In my experience the controller is too light weight. At around 6 oz maybe? And maybe for some of you that's fine. But I have large hands and this make it feel like I'm going to break it. As for durability however, I'm not rough with my equipment but since I bought this about a month ago it has yet to degrade in any way. Buttons work fine. The thumbsticks don't have drift. My largest complaint is the weight. The controller is sturdy in the hand and it doesn't seem shift its plastic or anything like that with small hand movements but I feel like if I just twisted it even a little too much it would snap. Though as I said before this is a price point. It's cheap and you get a controller that works! And if it does happen to break? It's not going to be a $70 hit that a pro controller would dish out. 6.5/10 you get what you pay for and it works, would recommend heavily if you're in a pinch

    Great spare controller for those couch co-op nights with friends. Obviously not a Pro Controller, but still gets the job done. Feels very light compared to the Pro Controller though.

    Amazing controller. Has zero drift and the cord is long enough to sit on the opposite side of the room and still reach. 10/10 would recommend.

    Great wired controller. Works perfectly for co-op purposes. Some reviewers say the headphone jack doesn’t work, but it does work. They probably just got a defective one. If your in need of a controller and and don’t want to cough up $40+ for one this is perfect! It is much lighter than I expected, but it’s not a bad thing. Just feels empty if your not in to that. REVIEW SUMMARY •No there’s no vibrations or motion control. •Yes, there’s mapping buttons and a headphone jack. •Yes, I recommend it

    If I could I will give this remote a 2 1/2 stars the reason is because I purchased this on May 16 of 2021 did not receive it into a couple days later. Come to be July 30, 2021 it’s already broken The control does not want to connect to the system the light in the control won’t turn on. And it’s been well taken care of I’m disappointed for the money that I spend on this. Because of that I just made a new purchase for a new controller hopefully this one works a little bit better. I don’t know what to do with his control throw it to the trash or recycle it’s in pretty good condition still only used it about 30 times.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend

    A great value If you’re looking for a controller that is easy to use with a detachchable USB cable this is it. It’s not like the pro controller but get the job done and if you’re looking for something cheaper extra controller for your trial this would be the great gift.

    It’s such a cute controller and works well. It’s actually more kid friendly when it comes to playing other games. The only thing is that it is not wireless. It’s just up to what you would like. I’m sure it works just as well as a wireless. Will be returning.
