Solid reliable multide-device controller

Works great! I've bought a lot of "discount" controllers before, most of them are sitting in a box useless and either unable to connect or have major drawbacks, so I was pleasantly surprised by how well these worked. I picked up two of these and both worked and connected perfectly. I have an old xbox 360 and before I moved the switch on the back of the controller it was already connecting and booting up my 360 in the living room! I switched it to Bluetooth and connected my galaxy phone to the controller flawlessly, then I connected the second controller to our iPad so my son could play Minecraft on it. So far they're every bit as good as an original controller at half the price and 2-3 times as many devices to connect it to!Ver más

Amazing controller, pull the trigger

Amazing controller, slightly lighter than an original Xbox One controller but otherwise the same or better in every way. Can't believe I've been spending $60+ on OEM controllers when amazing 3rd party options like this were an option. Connects to my PC and reads just like a normal Xbox controller. 10/10 would absolutely buy this controller again.Ver más

BEST PC controller I've ever used!! True story!

I just bought this bad boy 2 days ago. I'm about 7 hours or so in gameplay wise and I gotta say....this is BY FAR one of the best dang controllers overall, and definitely the BEST PC controller I've used to date since I started PC gaming in October 2024. I play Diablo 4 on Steam, so I'm definitely giving it a pretty hard work out button mashing and stick wise. It feels really almost unbelievably smooth, the 2.4Ghz dongle connection is CRISPY. No noticable lag at all. Can't really speak to the battery life since I typically charge after every session, then unplug when I notice it's fully charged. I will say that I have zero battery life issues or connection issues AT ALL to this point.Now to arguably the stars of the show for me: the buttons...oh the sweet buttons!! For reference, the other PC controllers I've tried were Bluetooth connections and one was a MSI Force GC300 (which I quickly returned) and the others are 8 BitDo Pro 2 controllers (have multiple color variants). The reason why the MSI one got sent packing is because of the buttons. I HAAAATE squishy button presses with the burning passion of a million suns. It sucks when you press it and it sinks in all mushy, especially if you're trying to rapidly press buttons. Your thumb sinks in and kinda catches a smidge when you go to move from A to B for example. HATE THAT **** so so much. MSI one was like that. I have multiple 8 BitDo Pro 2 controllers because the button presses and triggers are SATISFYING to use. Light clicking but super fast response times and makes traversing the buttons PLEASANT!! Even the D-Pads on them are satisfying to use and the grip is pretty phenomenal, especially if you have XL or above hand size. After having said all that, THIS CONTROLLER is superior, despite being a tiny smidgen smaller grip wise. Plus, the lack of macro buttons on the back is actually HEAVEN because I never use them anyway and they're ALWAYS in the way grip wise.I play A LOT of Diablo 4, probably even a weird amount so sue me. I only use controller input since I was a PlayStation dudebro up until they started charging 700 for a console. *Ahem* Anyway: take it from me, this is WELL WORTH 3x what the price is!! This is easily the best purchase I've probably ever made on Amazon. I did A LOT of research on controllers because, unfortunately, my green translucent 8 BitDo Pro 2 controller is starting to head to the pasture. Great controller don't get me wrong, but I just didn't want to pay 50-60 bucks for a controller again. That way, if it craps out in 5 months *ahem, looking at you 8 BitDo Pro 2*, it's no big deal and I can easily replace it. Do yourself a favor and stop stressing about a new controller!! TRY THIS ONE!! I promise you won't regret it, and if you do at least you have a cheap backup controller. I'm not being paid to say anything, I'm being dead real. With my honor as a gamer, I vouch for this controller!! 10/10**Small disclaimer I forgot about until just now. You DO HAVE TO GO TO SETTINGS IN STEAM AND CHANGE LAYOUT!!! It defaults to 'Use Nintendo button layout' being ON and you will IMMEDIATELY notice this trying to play a game for the 1st time with Xbox controls (like I did, unfortunately). Go to Steam--->Settings--->Controller--->Use Nintendo Button Layout and click that **** OFF!!! Threw in a screenshot for you as well just for good measure. You're welcome in advance!!***I totally forgot about the RGB!! I can take it or leave it, I'm not against it by any means. It does look pretty cool if you're into that. Standard colors and a couple color cycles. It does brightness settings also so you can turn it down or off if you want pretty easily on the fly (I think it's M button + left stick up/down/left/right). It comes with pretty great instructions, so fear not!! Oh also the vibration settings are adjustable in a similar manner fairly quickly on the fly.

Requires some extra time and effort to get working on certain systems

This was a good controller for the price. The quality of the controller is great, it can withstand my 2 year old son playing with it like one of his toys. I use it mainly for PC games (with Steam Input) and it works great on my one computer (Win 11) via BT on everything but on my Win 11 laptop, it only works with the USB dongle when I am not playing Minecraft.My daughter and I play Minecraft on our server together and she uses this wireless controller via BT (doesn5t need the USB dongle) and it works well. I bought a 2nd controller in hopes to use it on my laptop but I came to find out it's not working on my system via BT, but works with USB dongle. I assume it has something to do with the BT version and hardware since it's an older laptop. The bad part is the controller in Dongle mode on my laptop works only when not in Minecraft, works everywhere else. I tried looking at the settings and just didn't figure it out yet. The kicker is if I use another wired XBOX controller it works fine, everything is mapped right and it is being registered properly.I tried to connect it to my tablet and it won't discover it.Overall it's a great controller when you can get it to discover and work, but out of the 3 systems I tested it on, one works great via BT, one works with dongle but not consistently in all applications, and the tablet won't discover it at all.Battery life is decent, but I would have expected it to last longer. I would guess when my daughter plays, she gets maybe 4 to 5 hours of use before it needs charged.Ver más

Great controller, not so great battery life

Update: after about 2-3 months, the controller trigger broke- no longer returns to original position after being depressed. Tore it down to see if it was an easy fix- plastic on the trigger itself is just snapped. Glue doesn’t fix it. Threw away the controller. Disappointing as this wasn’t after a lot of time being used.Original:The sticks, triggers all feel amazing. Really is quite precise and ergonomic. Probably my favorite controller I’ve ever used or owned, and I own an embarrassingly expensive controller.For me and my pc/games, I don’t have much issue with the sub par battery life. I just plug it in via usb and it keeps playing while chargingBut on full wireless mode it seems to get 4-8 hours max. Sometimes less?This has been consistent for me, and a friend of mine who also bought one. He seems to have issues with it not playing while charging, but I don’t know if he’s just doing something wrong (I suspect)If you don’t mind plugging in the controller, and just want something that feels great, this thing is an absolute must. Even just as a backup controller, for the money it’s a no brainer.We are looking into modifying one of these to accept a bigger lithium battery.Outside that, I love the feel and the Hall effect stuff truly is a step above. Maybe one of my sticks has gotten dirty sooner than I would expect (doesn’t really clean off very well), and white isn’t the best color (shows everything), but personally I couldn’t care less about that.Given the price, and the performance, it’s hard not to give this thing 5 stars. But the battery is a let down on it.Ver más

Best controller I've purchased.

If you understand the benefits of hall effect joysticks and triggers, you'll know that some of the most expensive controllers on the market, some even in the $150+ range, don't even have them. Not acceptable for that price range. I'm tired of replacing old controllers, repairing them to get another short usage span out of them, or just outright having to trash them. I only buy hall effect now.Now I could say any hall effect controller is good, and having used nothing but them for the past couple years, I'd be mostly correct, but this controller feels solid and plays even better. I can't get over the $17 price tag either.The controller was instantly recognized by Windows. No extra setup. Just plug in the dongle and hit the center button on the controller and it will sync right up. The RGB is easy to play with. You just double tap the "M" button and use the left joystick to play with your options, one of which includes no lights at all. When you're decided, just tap "M" again and your set. It comes with two thumb grips and a USB C charging cable as well. All in all, it was a pretty seamless process. I was in game within seconds of powering it on.Triggers and all buttons are very responsive. D Pad is sufficient no matter what games you play, including fighting games(not the greatest, but will suffice. You should be using a fight stick anyway!). Joysticks feel great and again, the ease of mind knowing they'll last is what is most exciting here.EasySMX have done a good job here. I'll likely be picking up a second or even a third to keep in their boxes until my friends finally wear out my older, potentiometer joystick controllers ha!Ver más
