Almost perfect, but cheaply built and you should measure your phone first to see if it fits.
Summary:* Best in class for playing DS and vertical phone games **IF your phone fits vertically**.* Essentially a bounabay v2* Laundry list of problems that you'll want to glance over to see if they'll bother you significantly.Clarifications* This is basically a v2 bounabay * Buttons are further away * Buttons might be a little bit smaller * Sticks click and have 3 little divots * Home button * Slightly larger battery* There's a few clones of this around* Amazon says 8 hours play time, but the manual says 90 hoursPros* **IT ISN'T TOP HEAVY.** Biggest reason to buy this. Almost every controller is top heavy when you put your phone in, this is perfectly weighted. It FEELS natural.* It's a DS emulation controller. Consider the buttons and how on the emulators the touch screen is on the bottom, and compare it to the DS. Just.. perfection.* Grips the phone great, it's got a little recess where the edges fit fantastic. Rubber grips the sides of the phone great. Not hard to slip the phone in at all, which is a problem with other controllers.* Grip style makes it so vertically or horizontally power and sound buttons don't get accidentally pressed. Huge plus compared to the 9025.* Great form factor. I could carrying this in my pocket.Cons* Reason I'm returning it is my one plus 3T will not fit in it vertically, seems it's 2mm too wide.* Given it's about 2mm too wide, minimum phone width for this device would be ~77mm, I'd push 80 for a firm grip on the phone* Plastic doesn't line up a tiny bit on the edges. Just bothers me a bit, looks cheap.* Matte isn't the velvety plastic stuff ipega uses, it's just plastic.Quirks* Pulling it out to fit the device it's very wobbly but I doubt it would break based on how it's constructed. Feels cheap putting the phone in, but you forget about it once it's in.* Pictures online show no lights, just dark buttons with gray lettering, but Home, A/B/X/Y are all back-lit. Lights aren't bright, but you can't turn them off. Could be annoying in darkness.* Shoulder buttons need pretty deliberate activation* Buttons and stick are on the small side, nothing I couldn't get used to though.* Don't get this if you have power or sound buttons on the top or bottom, or on the bottom half of your phone in vertical mode (? do any manufacturers even do this)To be honest, it's almost there, it's *almost* the perfect device for playing emulated games. To make it perfect:* **Make it fit any device vertically*** Make it fit with phone cases* Give lights a toggle* Bigger buttons, bigger sticks* Improve build quality. Give it that nice velvety plastic. Fix the wobbly telescoping.* Rounded rectangular build for better pocket fit* Rectangular build also lets you move less important buttons to the bottom (turbo, home)Overall, I'd probably keep this if my phone weren't too small because the other aspects I could get used to with time. Doesn't fit though, so my search continues.

Thumbsticks Beware
A great controller with excellent buttons until you discover that the sticks aren't calibrated right.They have dead zones along the edges. As long as you go straight forward, back, left, or right, you'll be fine.What does this mean with games?Well, try to run any direction other than the listed above and your character will agonizingly walk, the game thinking the stick isn't fully tilted, even though it physically is.Disappointing that an otherwise great product would be ruined by such a flaw. If you want to play older games that don't rely on a thumbstick, then this is the controller for you.

NOT FOR PUBG
I cant really review the controller because I wasnt even able to use it. PUBg no longer allows the app being opened from 3rd party apps (which is necessary to use this controller) otherwise your account will be banned. So... its kinda useless. In the brief moments I got to play before getting banned, the controls seemed fine, but I didnt have much time to really play around with the settings and what not.

Pretty decent
The function of the controller is absolutely fine. Bluetooth connects without issue, buttons remap easily (at least with Android's PPSSPP), input delay seems fairly low in comparison to some other Bluetooth devices I've used in the past, and you actually get an L3 and R3 via stick presses unlike some other similar devices.My main gripe with the controller is button sizes, more specifically the analog sticks and ABXY buttons are much smaller than what you'd find on most controllers. The sticks could probably be solved with a nice cover, but the other buttons will likely take some real getting used to. A very strange design choice, as the controller definitely has enough room to make the buttons a bit closer to normal, which would increase comfort and familiarity greatly. I almost gave this a 4/5, but decided that wasn't enough to make my dissatisfaction clear. If you can get past these issues, then I feel it's a very good device!Note: I've had no "deadzone" issues with the diagonal stick directions as others have talked about.

Cheap plastic, no issues
Definitely happy with my purchase. Connected to bluetooth flawlessly, the buttons have a great feel to them.The complaints I do have is everytime I put my device in the controller feels like its gonna snap in half. The plastics definitely need an upgrade. All round it just straight up feels cheap but in reality everything works perfect. Also if yo plan on using this for emulators you have to map/bind your buttons with a paid program! No free emulator allows you to save presets for controllers. Like classic boy for example, I had to purchase the full paid version before I could even use the controller. Great for traveling I spent about 4 hours straight playing real racing 3 and the walking dead season 1 with no lag or drop from bluetooth.The buttons light up so it was very easy to navigate at night time. I just wish they made games specifically for mobile controller like this! Yes I know pub-g and fortnight work with this controller but those games ar unplayable without internet.

Terrific
Very good design, retracts when not being used. Makes phone gaming a lot more enjoyable.
