I really liked this controller. It was very easy to connect, and it works perfectly on both my Xbox and my PC. The buttons feel smooth, the grip is comfortable, and the connection has been stable with no lag. I was honestly surprised by the quality for the price. Definitely a great purchase and very reliable so far. Read more
Bought to replace the controller for my Shield TV as the original had packed up and the replacement is hard to find and overpriced. I tried another bluetooth controller, which paired up OK but had terrible input lag making it unusable. This works fine. Just plug the dongle into the USB port, pop a couple batteries in the controller (2x AA's, it works fine with rechargeables), and it instantly paired up and worked exactly as expected. No detectable lag, and the Shield recognizes it as a Xbox controller, so games configure correctly and show the right buttons. Note- don't use the dongle with a USB hub. For some reason, pairing then is unreliable. Sometimes it works, sometimes it just refuses to pair. But plugged directly into the Shield, it always works fine. Feel is surprisingly decent. The sticks are smooth, the buttons aren't mushy or sticky. It's not as nice as a first party controller, but for the price it's not bad, definitely seen a lot worse. For casual or occasional use, it's perfectly usable with Shield TV. Read more
Works awesome on the Xbox. One draw back is you can’t use the controller to turn the console on. Read more
Works with Xbox 360. It has an adapter that you plug into one of the USB ports. You then need to turn on your Xbox and it will automatically connect. Just for info if thinking about purchasing this; you won't be able to turn on the Xbox with the home button, which is not a big deal. You will need to turn on the Xbox from the power button; you can however turn off the console with the home button. Overall, I would recommend if looking for a replacement controller. Read more
Normally I just play Virtual Reality (VR) games. Then I accidentally bought a game (Fugl) that wasn't VR. Around same time I needed to get a gaming monitor to diagnose an issue I was having when setting up for virtual reality. So I bought a monitor from Amazon. I played the non VR game on it using mouse and keyboard. I had never used a gamepad/game controller before. But as I discovered other non VR games - like the brand new game Stray and another game The Pedestrian - I realized that maybe a gamepad might be easier. But I didn't want to make a big investment, since my main interest is VR games. I also thought there might be a problem getting a gamepad that worked with Linux. I knew that Xbox One controllers were known to work with Linux on Steam and that there was software I could get. This gamepad being made to work with Xbox and at such a reasonable price and pretty good (for the most part) reviews, I ordered this gamepad. I was somewhat dismayed when it was delivered to discover there were no instructions! I had no idea what the buttons and knobs did! But I was thrilled that it worked just by plugging in the USB Wireless Receiver, I guess Steam took care of the rest. I didn't have to do anything else. The good news is that I saw the beginning of a gameplay on The Pedestrian game and realized that just playing that game I would have the opportunity to figure out how to use the gamepad. So I started the game and figured out by trial and error how to maneuver. Some help was given by the game, which was a pure puzzle game - no rush, no accuracy needed, perfect for learning. I can not evaluate accuracy, drift, etc. since I have no prior experience and am still learning how to use it myself. I still don't know what some of the buttons and knobs do. I will wait until I have more experience before I play Stray - I don't want to keep killing the cat! But I will say I am glad I bought this wireless controller. And I will add that I did not write this review in order to get another one - I only need one. This is a honest review written from my personal perspective. Read more
The A button is stuck. WD doesn't help. I went with a different controller because this one sucked. It was like $30 bucks. You get what you pay for I guess. Read more
Works like it should. Only difference is the usb transceiver, but plug it in, no big deal. Read more
works nicely, though the joystick deadzone in one of the corners is really high making my movements sluggish. Read more
