Review: Don't let the price fool you. - This controller arrived very quickly, came in very nice packaging and worked as advertised. I actually bought it to use on my PS2 with a converter box that allows PS3 controllers to be used on the PS2 and it worked great in that capacity. My Xbox One controller that I use for PC was becoming unresponsive from wear and tear and I was going to buy a new one but I thought this controller felt so good and knew it doubled as a PC controller as well so I switched it over as my main PC controller and it works and feels great there too. I am now thinking about buying a couple of these for my PS2 and PS3 so I don't have to keep transferring this one back and forth. It is a wonderful controller and you would be hard pressed to find a better one for the price. Most budget controllers just feel off from the official ones and usually lack a certain finesse and grace and tend to feel kind of clunky in your hands. This one feels just like an official Xbox 360 controller but with light rubber grip pads for the palms of your hands and is a little lighter but not in a cheap way. The only "weak" spot on the controller, if you want to call it that, is that the shoulder buttons and back triggers don't feel quite as good as the official ones. They still feel good and work and everything, they are just a little clickier than an official one and the triggers have just a little less resistance than an official one when you push them down. I am overall very impressed with how professional this controller looks and feels when considering that it costs half the price you would pay if you bought an official wired controller or one from big name 3rd party companies like Power A or PDP. And for anyone who really prefers the Xbox controller set up over the Playstation set up, but still want to play some of the PS3 exsclusive games or play PS1 games using the PS3 backwards compatability, this is the closest to the real deal I have seen available for the PS3. Review: Worst controller. - This is one of the best controller I have ever bought in my life. When I bought it, it came kinda late but it was worth it. I bought it for my PC to play skate 4 (skate.) and it was really good that I used it all the time to play that game. Before I bought that controller, I bought a Nintendo one for my PC but it didn’t work well, the buttons didn’t work so I bought this one and really surprised me. This controller changed my life in so many ways. You should bought it if you don’t want expensive controllers. I really recommended you. Also the vibration thing at the sides is so cool. It works all well. But after 1 or 2 weeks it didn't just work. This is the worst controller ever.

A perfectly suitable Xbox 360 style controller for PC.
If you're looking for a PC controller designed to emulate the original 360 controllers, you really can't do much better than this if you're looking for a currently made one, other than trying to find an old original 360 pad. It feels pretty much exactly like the original 360 controllers did in terms of ergonomics while having some modern conveniences like modern better analog sticks and having nice rubber side grips. Buttons are responsive, the sticks are quite precise, and overall it does the job quite well. And because it's just a basic Xinput gamepad, it's recognized as a 360 controller and works out of the box with no setup. It's got its downsides though. For one, while it doesn't feel like it will break anytime soon, the plastic certainly feels cheaper than a genuine 360 controller. The rubber on the sticks is also not very grippy, meaning your thumbs could potentially end up sliding off. Triggers also have a noticeable deadzone before they activate, and there's a pretty prominent line where the two pieces of plastic that make up the triggers meet that's not very nice, but it's not painful or anything. The face buttons are also not flush with the face of the controller, being much taller than usual, but they don't feel loose. And if you've ever used a 360 controller, you know how terrible the D-pad is on it, and it's pretty much the same here. However, despite the downsides mentioned, they don't make the controller terrible to use by any measure. Honestly, I'm impressed by how good it actually is, and I think it makes for a good basic gamepad, or as a backup to your main gamepad.

Excellent!
It’s getting hard to find original ps3 controllers these days. I saw this controller on Amazon and saw that it was compatible with the ps3 so I decided to give it a try. I did not have high hopes that it was going to function properly, I thought that as usual the buttons were going to be hard and not respond when pressed. To my surprise the controller felt good and sturdy like it actually had some guts and wasn’t just a shell with buttons, it had some life. The functionality, response time, button feel, and the control it gave me when playing games is amazing. I strongly recommend it. I do have one small thing that I think you should look into though. The right (R1) and left (L1) are good and do respond, but I feel like the push button underneath is not quite centered or is set too much to one side. If have remind myself to press the very inner part of the button to get a good response. If I press to much to the outside (end part) of the button it feels like it doesn’t catch. Not a big deal. I really like this wired controller and I even purchased the wireless one that you guys offer.

It works with steam deck o.O
So the 5 stars is based heavily on the fact it works with steam deck out of the box. It is definitely a flawed controller, but i can not confirm if its the controller or the way it interacts with the deck. Lets get the flaws out of the way. 1. It vibrates nonestop when you press L2. For me, a non-issue. I just turn off vibration 2. The Right stick deadzone randomly changed everytime I used the steam deck calibration. Again non-issue for me. I made the deadzone wider 3. Button and controller feel cheap (will report back if anything breaks) Ok with the negativity out of the way, IT WORKS WITH STEAM DECK. I don't know why its so hard to find a 2.4 ghz wireless controller for the deck but it is. Ive used many bluetooth controllers like playstation 4 and xbox one and both have terrible input lag. I tried the new 8bitdo controller and half the buttons didn't work right in game. I randomly decided to try this controller because I like purple and it just works? Like the gameplay with it feels solid enough, theres no input lag, connects right out of the box, so for me, this is the perfect controller to travel with to make my steam deck feel like the mini console it is. I guess it should be obvious but I'm using a usb-c dock to connect the dongle to. Also a plus is this controller charges via usb-c, which it also included (a cord no brick). All and all I'm satisfied past the few gripes I mentioned. Attached video is showing it works in menu and using the dolphin emulator. I tested it on other games such as God Of War and Earth Defense 5 and all controls worked no problem.

Seems great at first, early failures on a few that I have bought though.
This review applies to both their Wired and Wireless controllers, as I have owned six between the two types. As much as I love the form factor and as much as I think it makes a very strong first impression, I have to remove some stars for value and my overall rating because out of these that I have owned, each of them had some issues way before you would expect with a joystick that is not used super heavily. In particular I have had issues with the sticks on them exhibiting premature drift, and the shoulder buttons becoming unresponsive on one side randomly. Before the issues, I'd have left glowing 5 star reviews because they really do make a tremendous first impression, and work really well for all kinds of games including FPS titles and others where joystick precision matters. They initially feel like they're giving you full "name brand" controller function at a value price. But, the low price must require some less durable parts to be used. If you are very especially gentle on controllers maybe they will last longer for you, but I am not hard on mine and have not had similar problems with most brands of controllers that I use. I had some Xbox 360 controllers I bought for use with my PC that lasted me more than 7 years. I strongly wish that these had better durability for me because apart from that they have really been good to use, I mean I kept buying them until I had gone through five or six of them because of that, but I think I have reached a point where I will be looking to just pay more for my next one to get a more durable product.

Looks and feels like a slight upgrade to a 360 controller
Comfortable and works fine with any game using controller. It's not a controller that tries to reinvent things and move stuff around. It's pretty much an Xbox 360 controller which is not a bad thing IMO. I think it's a bit nicer looking, and there's a very slight grip on the sides that actually makes a huge difference. It's a slightly below average price for an above average controller. It started drifting after about 200-250 hours of playtime, and will probably be unusable before too long. All controllers are gonna drift though (that I'm aware of), and while this is a bit on the shorter side, it's not below average, especially for a 30 dollar 3rd party controller. I'm not really sure whether it's worth it to pay twice as much for a controller that *might* take a lot longer to develop drift, or to just buy this again. If you're looking for lifespan over affordability, probably get something else, but for me I'd say it was worth the price.

Very nice controller, until it wasn't
Initially I liked this controller very much. I like the responsiveness of the buttons and triggers. For my (fairly small hands) the shape and grip are perfect. The controller feels very sturdy. I like the ruberry edges, as I tend to get sweaty palms when games get exciting. However, after only 4 months of sporadic use (no more than 12 hours in total), the right stick started to drift. This resulted in constant camera spinning, which made games like 'It takes two' totally unplayable. So, unfortunately, I have decided to return the controller. I'm still unsure whether to re-buy. On the one hand, I very much prefer the shape, grip and soupleness of the triggers to the standard Logitech f310, but I'm fearful of receiving a faulty product again. All in all, I would recommend this controller for the casual gamer, assuming that mine was just a case of bad luck.

Perfecto!
Por fin el mando para transformar mi pc en una consola. Por primera vez en las manos me resulta un poco familiar a la forma ergonómica de coger el mando nuevo de la PS4, así que por este lado es bastante cómodo. Tiene prácticamente los mismos botones que este último mencionado pero con los nombres cambiados por ``A, X, Y y B’’, obviamente, aunque el L1, L2, R1 y R2. He probado los botones y son resistentes pero también sensibles, esto es un punto muy positivo para este tipo de objetos y tiene vibración! Al conectarlo al terminal en el que lo vamos a usar, se encienden unas luces led de colores que lo hacen aún más atractivo y además no hace falta instalar programas externos en nuestro PC, al conectarlo el Steam por ejemplo, se abre en un modo especial para GamePad y ya tendremos total libertad usando únicamente el mando. Yo lo uso para PC aun que como todos sabemos son mejores los controles de Teclado/Ratón para la mayoría de los juegos, pero hay algunos tipos de juegos que se echa de menos el tener un mando entre tus manos y este me ha encantado, y además es un buen sustituto o para aumentar tu flota de mandos de PS3. En mi opinión por el bajo coste que tiene, la calidad de componentes, bonito diseño y versatilidad a la hora de uso de lo cual puedo recomendar este mando.

Pas très bonne qualité.

Great 3rd Party
My licensed Xbox controller for the PC bit the dust and I was in need of a newer budget controller. This one seemed the best of the few I looked at. Very pleased with the performance and ease it connected. I mostly use it for emulation gaming and the programs recognized the controller without 3rd party software. Hardware wise, the right analog sticks occasionally right out of the box, seems to be a issue with the stiffness of the rubber/plastic more than anything else.
