    Awesome controller!! The response time is really good especially for a wireless controller, it has gray battery life, and the sleep design makes it easy to handle when playing a game. Setup was easy with my computer it was pretty much plug and Play.

    Good wireless controller that bought to play Minecraft on my computer. It won't work on the java edition Minecraft, which is a bummer, but it does work for the Bedrock edition for Windows Minecraft. Plays great and works great for that.

    I love this controller. I have been looking at different controllers for awhile to take a break from mouse and keyboard for a little bit. This is like the best of both worlds between a ps controller and an Xbox controller. It’s not too big or too small and I would say I have medium sized hands. I have not had any input lag or sticky keys or any issues like those. I like that it’s wireless or Bluetooth in case I want to connect it either way. The only gripe I have with it is that there is a ridge for design right along the body where the 4 buttons on the right and the directional pad on the left are located. It’s not an issue for me on the directional pad, but on the button side sometimes if I want to use the pad of my thumb to hit the button instead of the tip, that ridge gets in the way. That being said, it has not affected my gameplay at all. Would buy again.

    I have not used this yet with my VR but it works with my windows 10 machine and Samsung S10. It is easy to sync and is similar to console controllers in set up and design. So far, I really have nothing bad to say about this controller. You can use it while it is charging too.

    I have had this controller for about 5 years and the left joystick has started to stick. I am assuming i got some debris in the crack causing the issue because it is sporadic. I like it so much i am buying another one to have and will take the first one apart to try and fix it.

    I am happy with the functionality of the hardware of the controller as well as it’s shape. My biggest issue is that it will randomly disconnect for about a second in random intervals. Sometimes not at all and sometimes many times in one play session. Aside from that I did notice some drifting in the joysticks right at the very beginning of using it, but that went away. Using the wireless dongle was simple and there was no need for any extra software.

    Worth it but the book could be improved

    Buttons feel solid, whole unit has that "well made" feel in your hand and the surface feels good on your skin. I have what might be called small hands and I can reach everything. Only one issue I've had is that sometimes the controller falls out and I have to go to settings to switch it off then on again but I have not been able to determine if this is the controller or the game, or even windows that is at fault. I play Black Desert online but I'm having a rough time figuring out what buttons BDO considers what by their labels, mostly the Function keys is what I can't figure out. Apparently bluetooth isn't available for PC only Android and the vr unit, makes me wonder why as lots of PC motherboards come with bluetooth these days however it's my impression that bluetooth may be slower response so perhaps that's the reason. I like using this for some repetitive motions in the game such as gathering, trying to get it going for ship controls still trying to figure out auto run and what might be the same as the shift key on the keyboard. The book that comes with this is sparse if they'd put a chart of what buttons might be what to what game that would probably help me get this fully working.

    I'm giving five stars because this is my first gaming controller. I like the fact that it works with my windows and chromebook. Easily fits my hands and so far works as expected.

    Great Controller

    Got this for a new gaming laptop I received as a Christmas gift, and it works far better than I thought it would. The buttons all have a very nice feel and it fits nicely in my hands. All the buttons are responsive, and the triggers are especially nice. It can bring up the XBox game mode display with a click of a button, which I discovered by accident. The sticks are in a mildly awkward position in comparison to a PS4 controller, but that is my only complaint beyond the naming convention of the buttons themselves as I am used to the Sony names. Haven't tested the bluetooth with my phone or tablet yet, but I'm sure it would work just as easily. Would recommend to anyone who wants a PS4 style computer/bluetooth controller.

    The controller is great, the triggers arent too springy, the controller build quality is great, no lag, easy to set up...the only draw back is that this controller does not have any rumble feature. If you are okay with playing ganes without controller vibration then definitely buy it...if you want a controller with that rumbles get a xbox controller

    Feels very well built. I purchased it to replace my Xbox one controller that I use for PC. The only thing I can say is that if you're not used to using a PlayStation style analog stick setup, it can definitely take a little while for your hands to get acclimated to the difference. Overall though I'd say it was a great buy.

    I absolutely love this controller. In some ways it feels like I am holding a PS4 controller that is shaped like an Xbox controller, simply because of the layout. The joysticks are buttery smooth. It can connect either wired or wirelessly. It does connect through either Bluetooth or through the supplied USB dongle. I usually game on my box but I just built a new PC for all of my 3D modeling, Animation, and Visual Effects that I do at school and I had a few titles laying around for PC like the Terminator: Resistance game so I decided to pick this up for my new PC build. I am not disappointed one bit!

    This product is quite nice. It is intuitive and easy to use. It is just small. It needs to be about 20 to 25% larger to be comfortable. I currently hold it in my fingertips while playing, instead of getting a comfortable grip on it.
