I like mine but it cuts out sometimes randomly. It feels nice. Bumpers aren't quiet like the Xbox controllers though. I use it wired on PC. I haven't tried Bluetooth, which works only for Android. To fix it once it cuts out, unplug it, put it in Bluetooth mode, use a pin in the back to reset it, put it in wired mode, then plug it back in and that fixes it. Get it on sale.

This or a PS5 dualsense for my iPhone 15PM. I imagine it gets quite heavy with the phone clipped. I'm reluctant to order to try since Amazon is withholding my refund for the PS5 controller I returned until I upload my drivers license.
Why are they withholding your refund until you upload the driver? I'm curious 👀

I bought this about a year ago. While it was working, it was my favorite controller I've used. I now have an elite controller, but I liked the feel of the back buttons on this more than the paddles on elite. The only problem was that it got the worst stick drift after about 5 months that I couldn't keep the game centered anymore. I tried everything to fix it, but it was just unusable after that.

Quote from fewlio :
it has to do with needing to control movement/joystick with one thumb (usually analog for precission 3d these days) and pushing the buttons with the other hand. Most games aren't twin stick shooters but robotron 2084 and smash tv really were something else

*eta* wait uh, those on ps portal aren't staggered, they're in-line LoLz , you wrote that one wrong. gamecube / xbox style really is the best
Smash TV was awesome. Addictive game, so fun. I'd buy that for a dollar!

Is there a reason it won't work for iPhone, no software on iOS?

Anybody have any experience with this controller???
I love this controller. It feels on par with the series x controller, outside of the bumpers which are a little click-y.

The supersonic hearing and the back bumpers are excellent for competitive shooters. I mostly use the controller for fornite. It's really nice to never have to remove my thumbs from the sticks and I can hear footsteps/shooting directions a lot better.

It also has "precision aiming" aiming settings but I haven't really messed around with that setting.

For $30 it's an excellent deal for those looking for an elite like controller for a fraction of the cost. If you need another controller and/or if you're a competitive player looking for an edge, give it a shot.

I am going to try this controller. I could use the extra buttons on the back for pinging in Halo Infinite (though I watched a video mentioning that they are a bit hard to reach - but imo this could also be a good thing because you wouldn't want them being pressed by accident). It was also mentioned that the right stick is a little stiffer, which interests me and does make sense because in an FPS you would want precision for aiming and movement on the left stick can be quicker.

Also the triggers look CHEAP, it's also mentioned in the video but you can actually tell just by looking at how they press down. I was a bit on the fence about this but for $30 it should be worth the gamble.

This is the video review I watched if anyone is interested: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U5TUuTClg90

The back buttons are not hard to reach at all. My middle fingers rest directly on them with normal grip, therefore, requiring zero reaching or effort to press.

Received the controller today and I agree, the back buttons seem like they're positioned perfectly... but the shoulder buttons are harder to reach than on the original Xbox One controller. Might not matter though, the shoulder buttons will just be used for less important things than the buttons on the back Smilie

The buttons also feel a bit cheaper than the microsoft controller. The added tension on the right stick is very noticeable, I compared it to the original microsoft controller and the Microsoft one feels way too loose. It feels smaller too, which could be a good thing for better control over the sticks. I'll have to give it a try in a game to see how it works out. Worst case I'll actually use this for some mobile gaming.

Edit: Tried it for a few halo infinite matches the other night. The back buttons are great but I couldn't take how uncomfortable it is. The next day I felt cramps in my hands and I had only played a few rounds.
