So it appears to be wired for console use, dongle for Windows, and bluetooth for Android.

I have one of these and these are VERY good controllers. They come with a really good dock to charge it on too. It's not the most premium controller but it has nothing bad. It has passable sticks, , dpad, and buttons. For $40 it's about as good as you can get essp with the dock, it's legit the best dock charger for any controller on the market you could toss the controller from across the room and it'd just slot right in, which if you own other charging docks for controllers you know most of the docks are designed very poorly and are a pain to get to sit right in the docks to charge. However the new EasySMX X20 just came out and I was able to get one on aliexpress for $41. That controller has all the features of controllers in the $100 price category however I cannot recommend it quite yet until I get my hands on it.

No gyro on this, unfortunately. I mainly use controllers for fun on-the-couch gaming on Steam, and still have the accuracy of gyro motion controls to help with precise aiming.

Xbox unfortunately does not support bluetooth wireless on 3rd party controllers, (switch and PC do),
however you can get an adapter like this one: Brook [amazon.com]. $55 that will let you use it wirelessly with Xbox.

This was what I got for my Flydigi Vader 4. You pair it once then the controller connects to the dongle wirelessly. It seems expensive at first but it opens up a whole world of cheaper but much higher quality aftermarket wireless controllers.

Got the Hall Effect joystick version and it's held up great so far. Fantastic controller.

Not sure if this is the same, but if it is, highly recommended.

Seems to me like it has been this price before straight from Amazon. Looking to see these at 35 at most or 30 for a slick deal. This is OK price. I got the 2c for $30 but that doesn't come with a dock.

Yes $40 isn't a veru great price, I think I got mine from woot for $34. I would hold off if you're buying a controller and see if the EasySMX X20 reviews well. If it's still $41 on aliexpress, holy crap it's loaded with features.

The issue is that the EasySMX X20 isn't an XBox controller, if that is what you want to use it for. For PC/Android/Switch, you may be absolutely correct.

Fair warning, but Microsoft blocked the two previous iterations of that Brook dongle. I bought one so I could use an 8bitdo controller, and less than a year later, Microsoft had an update that blocked them.

What can you remap the back paddles to? Can you do joystick directions (ex: Right Stick Up?) or map to keyboard keys when using on PC??

To me it's worth adding another $20 and getting the Ultimate controller > https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B9BDMWWN
I have over 200 hours in TOTK on that one and it works flawlessly every time. (Switch and Windows)
