For those of you who purchased the Polymega retro gaming console, you know that it is a fun device that allows you to upload your favorite classic games (NES, SNES, Genesis, N64, Playstation, etc.) and play them via emulation using your original game discs/cartridges. With that said, I have always felt that the universal controller that was offered for the Polymega has issues with input lag (especially with using the 2.4ghz dongle instead of wired). As a gamer, this can be extremely frustrating when the buttons pressed do not respond as they should when compared with the respective original hardware controllers. To top it off, the Polymega is limited on which 3rd party controllers are compatible with the device (it requires X-Input). I have tried various 3rd party controllers which did not work for me. The only one that seemed to work okay was the 8bitdo Pro 2 controller. However, I personally do not care for the Playstation-style design and prefer the modern Xbox controller. Fortunately, I tried this controller and was pleasantly surprised to find that it works perfectly with the Polymega console. I first used the provided 2.4ghz dongle for wireless play and I noticed that the input lag was much improved over the universal Polymega controller (even the newer WC02 model). To be fair, I tried using the EasySMX X05 Pro Wireless Controller in wired mode and noticed that there was no input lag to speak of (or least none that I could tell). When you plug in the controller to your Polymega (via the 2.4ghz dongle or wired) it will be recognized as a universal Polymega controller (make sure to have the switch on the back of the controller set to 2.4ghz). As for the controller itself, it is very well constructed (for the price) and feels natural to hold. The buttons all respond well and I was happy with the D-Pad operation (in which the D-Pad is used heavily in most of the emulated game consoles that Polymega offers at this point in time). I also played around with the controller briefly on my Windows 11 PC. I used the dongle and there were no issues and it worked well. I highly recommend this controller, not just for the Polymega, but for gaming in general, especially if you are looking for a less expensive solution than an official Xbox controller. Read more
I’m not going to go over every feature, because that would take too long, so here are the main points. Size: Perfect, in my opinion. Most Xbox-style controllers are on the larger side, which can make fast gameplay and certain grip styles harder to use. This one is slightly smaller and feels ideal in the hands. Hall Effect Joysticks: The Hall effect sticks feel extremely precise, and the option to use zero deadzone completely removes any sense of input delay. Everything feels instant and accurate. Extra Buttons: The additional “M” buttons next to the bumpers are perfectly placed. They’re easy to reach and feel natural to use without accidental presses. I bought two name-brand $150 controllers to compare against this one, and to my surprise, I returned both. This controller simply feels better overall and punches well above its price. Read more
This is a great controller. My last controller was a Nimbus+ (for IOS) and it took forever to attach to my iPad with Bluetooth, it was laggy and had a lightning connector. This controller is extremely accurate, attaches to my iPad almost immediately when I turn it on and has a USB-C charging port. I didn’t even realize how laggy my old controller was until I replaced it with this and suddenly I’m a LOT better at games than I was. Response has no lag. And the price is right. It’s about half the cost of the Nimbus so I wasn’t expecting much but it’s twice the controller that the Nimbus was. Highly recommended. Read more
Good quality controller. I'm always iffy when buying off brand controllers. But this one feels really nice. Works great. No issues with it. I use it on my PC. Just plug the USB transmitter and turn on the controller. It has a nice grip, feels durable and strong. Not plasticky or cheap feeling at all. The buttons and the triggers are crisp. Joysticks are nice and strong too. I am super excited about this. No issues so far. Read more
Says no set up, just plug and play...Great! Connects to PC. But thats it. Does not work with any game I try it with. This is what you get for $25 now. Why even sell this? Read more
So far, so good. Of course, I cannot confirm if this is truly a Hall Effect controller, as I am not going to open it and dissect it to check. But so far the analog sticks work great. The RGB lighting is a nice touch, and I appreciate the extra buttons and modes. I like that it charges/connects with USB, and I like that in addition to wired connectivity, it can also connect via Bluetooth or the USB stick included with it. My primary gripe is battery life. With my old Xbox One controller, I was able to go over a week between charges, but this controller seems to need recharging every couple of days. I do find that disabling the RGB lighting increases the play time between charges, but only by a day or so. It still doesn't rival the play time I got from my Xbox One controller, and I really wish the manufacturer didn't skimp on the battery, but I'm hoping the durability and longevity of the Hall Effect analog sticks make up for what the product lacks in battery life.

This is great. The clicking buttons that cause the most noise are suppressed and silent. The X, A, B, Y buttons aren't completely silent, but they're not the noisy buttons anyways. The controller flashes adequately when it needs battery, which is maybe once every 2 days. It also works while charging. The only downside is no audio jack, I think. Read more
