Cosmic Byte ARES Wireless Controller for PC, Upgraded Hall Effect Joystick & Triggers, Dual Vibration, Backit LED Buttons, Turbo, Auto Turbo (Black)

I brought this 2 years ago AND it still works fine the build quality is impressive it looks very expensive, the triggers are sensitive meaning for racing games it's very nice I have used it a alot yet all the Buttons are working As good as new the battery backup Is also very good However the battery performance is reduced a little but thats because of time It's not too bad,it's Very good and sturdy. It also Connects to mobile via OTG it's easy to use just plug and play for both, the range is also quite good it will work easily Even if your tv or console is very far (even if you have big room), The dongle also Connects to pc easily unlike some usb which don't connect easily and you have to put extra efforts, However the build quality of dongle is not niceyou have to be careful is bends sometimes but it still works so it's fine for now. ( incase you break the dongle you can buy one from cosmicbyte website Extra : Plus Once it was kept in my drawer and the fish tank above the table broke which made the drawer flood I was scared that this will ruin the controller however I quickly removed it from water there was even some water inside it too I quicky put it in rice There was some rice stuck between triggers but water did not damage it I am Not saying it's waterproof Or anything just that maybe I was lucky but the quality is quite good for the price. Even no button is stuck.

The controller is overall very good at this price point. PROS. 1. Looks: for the price the looks feels premium. 2. Backlight lighted keys are useful at dark places or night gaming. They look premium too and no other brand has they kind of differently coloured XYAB keys with 3d effect. 3. Battery is monsterous. I have played 9-10 days everyday 2-3 hours with highest vibration settings and it still has charge in it. 4. Vibration is very good and feels premium almost PS4 controller level. CONS 1. The controller is slightly less grippy, the matt texture, and rubberless joysticks feel slightly less gripy but not that much 2. The pressure sensitive trigger only works after pressing it atleast 60% which makes it useless. It can be a big deal breaker for racing games fan if they want that variable acceleration feel. 3. Lacks macro button and some other features but at this price point one should not complain and i dont feel much need of those buttons anyway Excluding that pressure sensitive trigger issue, its an excellent controller especially for its looks, lighting, battery, haptic feedback and price point.

Compelled to write an honest review after my folks thoroughly and roughly used this product for two years since I purchased it in March 2024....Just a week ago, I accidentally dropped it from the first floor balcony while it was wrapped in a winter blanket but this sturdy product survived the fall and is still working perfectly! 👍👍👍 (saved me from repair costs🙂🙂)... its working as if brand new still.... Its a very durable and high quality Indian product. There are absolutely no problems with the connection either. Please continue to make such great quality products! 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

For the Price it's just amazing. The Controller overall design is amazing, pretty comfortable, The "V" Light Is Kinda unnecessary but thankfully it can be turned off, Looks wise it's good, the 3D type of view in the buttons is pretty cool. the design could be better but it's still great Vibration Is Very Good, I've used a lot of controllers and yeah this controller's vibration is amazing. The Latency is also pretty decent. though it lacks out in FPS Games, FPS Wise It's not the best, still ok, What can you even Expect in This Segment. Battery Wise It's Good, But can be better. The Type C Charging Port is A very good thing and it's something you rarely see in this Segment. For Me The Battery Lasts around 2-3 days Though I'm uncertain about the playtime. The Only bad thing about the battery is the charging time, it's still great though. Edit: So now I am properly charging it for a few hours and the battery is AMAZING! Works perfectly, there are pretty much no drawbacks about it. the controller is 5/5 Stars worthy And Now The Turbo And Auto Buttons, The Turbo button IS REALLY USEFUL as I play Forza Horizon 5 and the Turbo button Boosts the Car Speed by A LOT. not as useful in other games but still a very good thing. The Auto button is Kinda ehhh but still ok. I don't use as much I should because it just isn't that good. You can also Switch between the D-Pad and Left Analog Stick, Not Really Useful for me but Idk about others. The Dongle Is Also good, It being long makes it harder to lose and the connection light is a bit convenient. Overall, The Controller Is Absolutely Amazing, Definately Will Reccomend. I'm using it 2 months and it's so far so good. Sometimes Glitches slightly but reconnecting and connecting does the job. 5/5 Stars.
