Bluetooth Wireless Gaming Controller for Android, Windows PC, PS3, VR, TV Box - Gamepad with 16 Buttons, 2.4GHz Wireless USB Dongle, 18-Hour Battery Life

I bought this for my kid. He got Star Wars Battlefront on PC for XMAS and needed a good controller. He also recently got into old Sonic games on his Android phone, and I thought the experience would be better with a controller instead of the on-screen virtual joystick setup which lacks precision. After looking at a million controllers, I settled on this because 1) it supports both PC and Android, 2) it has a Sega Genesis-like D-pad for the Sonic games, and 3) it gets good reviews for the bargain price. I've owned different 3rd party controllers in the past, which generally have subpar build-quality when compared to the OEM Nintendo/Playstation/Xbox versions. I expected the same here, but was totally wrong. This controller is incredibly solid, the thumbsticks are silky smooth, and the buttons all feel like high-quality pieces, especially the analog triggers on the back. The D-pad is also incredibly nice. Overall, the controller feels great in the hand, doesn't twist or squeak, and is properly weighted. Once you learn the instructions, syncing the controller to PC or Android was quick and painless. You first press the Home button and then press one of the various device buttons for three seconds (there are seperate buttons for PC, Android and iOS). After that, you're sync'd and ready to go. The controller comes with a dongle to wirelessly connect to PC's, and has built-in Bluetooth to connect to Android devices. You can also wire the controller directly to your device using the USB charging cable. He noticed no wireless lag at all in either PC or Android mode. I've seen some negative reviews complaining of lag when syncing to Android, but I think that's more the fault of their particular devices than this controller. We used it with a Lenovo tablet, a Samsung tablet and a Moto Z Play phone (all running Nougat) without a hint of lag. The sync buttons are all under a panel hidden by the flip-up phone holder. The phone holder works well, but didn't hang onto my son's phone case very well (which has ribbed edges). I've seen some complaints that the flip up panel covers the start button, which is apparently still used on the Xbox. This wasn't an issue with any of my son's PC or Android games as none of them require a "home" button. For the price, you can't go wrong with this multi-purpose controller.

I looked for so long to find the right controller to buy, and I am VERY satisfied with this one. So far this has been an excellent controller for mygaming on Steam (running Windows 10, 64Bit. Instructions, a USB charging cable, a USB wireless adapter (very tiny DO NOT FORGET THIS), and the controller are included. I charged the controller first, plugged in the USB wireless adapter, turned on my computer, and turned on the power to the controller (which you have to hold down a button on the front for 3 seconds - that was the hardest part of setting it up and I actually had to read the manual). The device takes a minute to set up through Steam, but nothing I couldn't figure out. I have to do this every time I open Steam actually. However, it gets recognized as an Xbox controller, and it feels like one too. So that's perfect. So aside from the SUPER easy installation, the controller feels solid and is very responsive. It has buttons for Mac and Android which I have not tested, but again for use in Windows you literally just have to turn the thing on. Battery life has been very good as well (no recharge necessary after playing with it several hours). For the money this is an amazing controller - includes everything you need!

this controller worked for literally one game, and its one game I really wanted it to work for so for that reason I won't be returning it. However, for every other game or connection method tried it did not work. couldn't connect via USB dongle, or Bluetooth to anything really. The android Bluetooth works, and that's it. can't not recommend this at all.

I bought this for emulating games on my phone when I was on the go and playing some of the more complex android games on my phone, but it has a real issue with delay from when you push the button to when the phone receives the command and responds. So if you are playing any type of game that requires real precision then this is not a controller that I would recommend for you as it makes it very difficult to get the timing of the delay down. It appears to vary slightly with different games. Very disappointed in this item. I would have given it an even lower rating but it does work and connect to my phone so I felt it did half of what it said it would do. Also it would not hold my phone while it was in the case i had to snap my phone out of the case to use this built in holder which is frustrating to say the least. It does have a very nice quality feel to the controller but that was about as far as the quality went.
