A good, adaptable, bluetooth controller. Worth the price.
I've been looking for something my gf can use for her phone, or on the computer to make gaming a bit easier for her. Specifically, Minecraft PE. I wish I could review other devices but this seemed like one of the better options. So far I'm happy with its performance and feel overall and recommend it.I just got it and played Minecraft PE on my phone with it, it works, feels like a sturdy controller and is pretty smooth. Since the port is on the bottom of the controller to plug in, low battery means you can plug it in when you're playing. It doesn't feel as ergonomic as a PS/ Xbox controller, but for casual play, it's fine, if you're playing on a phone, it's certainly good enough.The thumbsticks feel pretty solid, the dead zone feels minimal for the price.The only Cons I haveThe triggers are buttons, not levers.If you have to put your phone in sideways, you cant charge it while playing. I feel like they could have left a gap to allow for this. You can set the phone up to be high enough to plug in, but then the cable will block a bumper button.There isn't really a way to turn it off, so unpairing it is basically the best way to have it power off.It's made in China, so there's the security question.Overall, I like it as far as first impressions go. I got it specifically to play Minecraft with on my phone, and this will certainly do just that. If anyone figures out a way to charge their phone while using this without having to undock the phone, please let me know. The best I could find for now is this.https://www.amazon.com/UGI-Magnetic-L-Shaped-Braided-Charging/dp/B07D2D2QGX/ref=pd_day0_hl_107_13?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B07D2D2QGX&pd_rd_r=17373c7d-e90e-11e8-9fce-e3b457f31c52&pd_rd_w=7LW5g&pd_rd_wg=0xsH0&pf_rd_i=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=ad07871c-e646-4161-82c7-5ed0d4c85b07&pf_rd_r=V04ZBNN9QR6VQ7MV9V9J&pf_rd_s=desktop-dp-sims&pf_rd_t=40701&psc=1&refRID=V04ZBNN9QR6VQ7MV9V9JGood luck and have fun friends.

I bought this to use on kindle fire. It works well, but the button placement on the kindle fire does not help. if you tighten the controller telescopic feature to hold the device firm, the power and volume buttons will be pressed at all times.

A Good JoyCon Alternative, But Could Be Better
Like most people, I really didnt like the size of the joycons, so I bought this as an alternative. Been using them for a few weeks now and at first I had to get used to the controls, but it wasnt that bad of a learning curve since they are just Xbox controls.PROS:-Long battery life (I only charged it once since I got it)-More comfortable in hands-The D pad is actually a D pad unlike that poor excuse of a D pad on the left joycon-Buttons are clicky-Wii U button placement (anologs on the top, buttons on the bottom)CONS:-No rumble or motion controls-If you’re using it for the Switch, the buttons are swapped (B is A, A is B, X is Y, Y is X). But if you’re used to Xbox controls then this wont be too much off a problem.-(Might be a pro for some) Controller doesn’t charge off of Switch’a power supply, it has its own cord. But you can still play while charging-You have to connect it EVERY time you turn on your Switch. Not super annoying for me personally but it’a worth mentioning-It wont fit in a normal Switch carrying cases due to the bulkiness. So you would have to take off the controller from the tabletNow I’m aware that this is iPega’s first controller thats compatible for the Switch and the main audience is mobile users, so some of these complaints aren’t relevant to them. But if this thing had rumble, motion controls, and the button place was correct, this would be perfect! I hope the company will make a controller cartered to Switch users.

Junk
Sadly ...it's just a junk product. It's a shame, aesthetics & ergonomics are great & the controller "looks" really cool, but beyond that it isn't very useful, there's far too many incompatiblity issues with any Android games (Inputs are way off, doesn't respond, or extremely slow to respond in 99% of apps). Several attempts (hours & hours wasted) trying 3rd party mapping applications to get any sort of useable input between hardware to no avail. Joysticks are useless. I bought 2 and it was the same with both units.

Requires a third party mapping app to function with pubg
Buyer beware.The description for this device is not forthcoming with the facts.It says that it is compatible with pubg. The truth is that pubg does not support game controllers and this device does not natively synchronize with pubg.This device has the potential to work with pubg, however, but you must install a third party app, like octopus, that will map the keys from the controller to the keys in pubg.Ithe concept is simple but not necessarily easy. I have been able to get the joy sticks to work but not the buttons or triggers.Also, understand that this device is shipped from China. Therefore, if you are not able to synchronize it, you can probably send it back for a refund, but that means shipping it back to china. Glwt.

Nice controller, but could not get it to connect and work properly
Such a disappointment. My husband loved this controller and it is made so well. It's very sturdy and nice quality. Unfortunately he followed the instructions and downloaded the app and it still did not work properly. This is a shame and we will be returning and trying to find a controller that will work.
