Se siente muy cómodo, ayer lo usé todo el día pero en algunas ocaciones el personaje del juego se movio sin que yo lo moviera y en otra ocasión el control no me respondía apesar que estaba encendido y conectado... Luego lo apagué y re conecté y se soluciono. Sun embargo, sus botones mecanicos y sus joystics magneticos son una delicia, se siente de muy buena calidad y creo que tengo control para varios años.

This is the dumbest controller ever. Looks like an XBOX controller but doesn't work like one. Can't connect it even with USB C cable or the dongle that comes with it.. Seems to be only for PC, phone, Nintendo Switch. Product description on Amazon is not clear regarding this. It's a shame too, because it's a nice controller and the XYAB buttons even light up. (If you find that I'm wrong, and you've figured out how to connect it to XBOX, leave instructions in a comment - I'll revise my review)

Ich habe mir diesen Controller gekauft für meine Spiele am PC. Der Controller kam sehr gut verpackt und sah sehr hochwertig aus auf den ersten Blick. Vom Gewicht her ist er sehr angenehm und leichter als der Xbox Controller. Er ist hochwertig verarbeitet und fühlt sich nicht billig an. Die Verbindung über den Bluetooth Stick ist sehr einfach und super schnell. Die Tassen lassen sich individuell anpassen. Die Tasten reagieren sehr schnell und fühlt sich auch hier alles hochwertig an. Ich kann den Controller mit ruhigem gewissen weiterempfehlen. Das einzige was ich schade finde das er nur auf einer Seite beleuchtet ist. Aber das ist für mich kein Stern Abzug.

I always buy controllers from xbox, since I feel comfortable when playing my favorite game Destiny 2. I needed a new one and so this one on sale. It is rechargeable and I it does no take forever to charge, it is very like though, not sure if I like that and has additional options on the button when playing. Sometimes I find it a little bit confusing but overall it is a great controller.

(UPDATE MARCH 8 2025 - I hadn't been using my replacement unit of this much, because I purchased the Vader 4 Pro which became my "daily driver", but today I misjudged how much charge I had and still wanted to play more (& not play wired), so I brought out the G50s, and it wouldn't pair with the dongle. Wired, fine, but I followed the booklet's instructions to a T and the controller's lights would just continue cycling and then turn off. (And with no software or even reset button on the dongle, there's no way to troubleshoot it). I typically play close to my laptop, but just on principle I had to drop this to 2 stars if the dongle is that low of quality. I had trusted this to be my back-up, and also one to take to my friend's house for group gaming (& I just wanted a 2nd controller that was both wireless and had magnetic sticks). It sucks that this is now relegated to 3rd string or lower and wired only. Yes, there's it's ability to connect with Bluetooth, but that introduces possible interference (especially because I use BT earbuds with my laptop), and like I said, it's the principle because the build quality of the dongle is so poor. For a future backup I'm only going to trust long-established brands (like Flydigi or Gamesir)The following is the review I had initially written up, before a problem set in (D-pad getting stuck, with those inputs seen rapidly hit during gameplay) slightly before 2 weeks of use. I did a replacement-return because I still liked the product and assumed this would be solved with another unit. Anything that I feel is still applicable I’m keeping the same, and I will note what is new/different (& will try to update this, once I’ve used it enough to feel that the problem likely won’t arise again. But it should be known, I have other daily-use controllers, so I don’t know how soon that will be).4.0 out of 5, due to the chance of getting a bad d-pad, otherwise it was going to be a 4.5/5 (which I would have given a 5/5 just to help the average…why Amazon forces you to go from a 80% to 100%, is beyond me).-------------------------------------This controller was already pretty affordable (which plays a part in how favorable I view it & it’s features. I’m not someone who’s used these $150+ controllers, so I can’t hold this to that standard), then Prime Day brought it down to $36, I decided to strike without referring to one of my trusted “controller guys” on Youtube (because I couldn’t. I literally could not find a “real”, English speaking, review of this. A couple English “unboxing” vids (ie: omg, this looks cool, but doesn’t actually tell me anything type reviews), but that’s it). I’m going to do my best to use what I’ve learned (to look for) from these trusted sources, in giving my own review for others looking for a good, budget, hall-effect controller. All of my game-play based opinions are from playing Ghost of Tsushima (ie: not a rigorous FPS or similar), although I also specifically tested the d-pad in Dragon Ball FighterZ.FEEL & SHOULDER BUTTONS:My initial thoughts: I love the hand-feel of the controller. The texture on the back is nice, and the top plastic is actually not too slick, either. The positioning/ergonomics of the extra shoulder buttons (M5 & M6) are GREAT– which was something I was worried about. The triggers feel good & actuate well. The bumpers (L1 & R1) actuate very well & easily. You can’t really actuate them from the base of your finger (ie: on the outside side of the buttons), probably because they don’t clear the case enough at that side, but I wouldn’t hold it against them (the brands that have such ones are top notch, though).D-PAD (BASED ON THE NEW UNIT I RECEIVED)With the initial unit, after I tested the d-pad on FighterZ, I found that it was harder to do rolls (quarter-circle back & quarter-circle forward) than with the cross-shaped d-pad of my current controller. I attributed it to shape and assumed I would have to have a different technique with a “wheel” style d-pad. Well, with the new unit these motions were just as automatic for me as before, so I was just experiencing the beginnings of the d-pad failing. Now, the d-pad clicks cleanly on all 8 directions. Very good quality. (As mentioned at the beginning though, I can’t ignore that others will have some chance of getting a “faulty” d-pad. I’m not sure how this happens because it’s supposedly a mechanical/switch button, but the chance is there).FACE BUTTONS:The face buttons are not mechanical – IMO mechanical are superior (some people don’t feel that way…which makes no sense to me, lol), but these are not BAD membrane buttons. (Though, ultimately, build quality probably matters more than type). When clicking at what I would call “normal”/average gaming speeds, they were pushed down fine enough (obviously you can try to click a million fast times, like if you’re playing a Mario Party mini-game, but I feel that’s not common. If you were, though, I think mechanical – at least well done mechanical, can’t be beat). However, you can definitely feel a little more delay when the button comes back up, compared to a mechanical face button. All these feelings became less pronounced the longer I played with this controller, it was just jarring at first coming from mechanical buttons.BACK BUTTONS: The back buttons are *okay*. 3 & 4, the ones more on the handles are very good and easy to actuate (& feel good when doing so). 1 & 2, the ones more under the “body” are a little more difficult to hit in a natural manner (maybe it’s my hand size, but I think it’s just not a natural way to move your middle finger while holding the controller). It will ultimately come down to testing it in a game situation, but my gut tells me that of the 6 buttons, they would be the last I’d map to (choosing to do 5 & 6 on the shoulders before them). And to be transparent, I’ve generally only used 2 macro buttons before, even on controllers with more (just to map the stick-clicks, I just like the option to have more) – so I’m not sure how I will test this “naturally” during gameplay yet (maybe a fighting game with combos). But, for any future controller, I wish most companies would realize the best placement for 4 back buttons is putting each pair on the handles (where the middle & maybe ring fingers can hit them easily). I’ve seen it in the past, but never on this new gen of Hall Stick controllers (which I know many consider a mandatory feature, now). It’s either “rockers” (like this one), or the Flydigi 4 separate buttons (but in the same basic place as the tips of these rockers).STICKS (Based on the new unit):The sticks were smooth and had good snap-back. It is easy to change between the circular & square algorithms on the fly. Which, is something I have just recently become educated on. The reason some controls test “poorly” in circularity tests and others have sub 1% error rates, is because the latter come with an algorithm that keeps all output data within a perfect circle. Technically speaking, the ones that go outside the circle at the diagonal values are still good, as long as they are fairly symmetrical. However, it's very cool that this gives you the option of switching between the 2. This manual claims that square is better for movement, and circular for aiming, but personally I just keep everything on circle. After testing the circularity in Game Pad Tester, the values for wired connection were: Circle – 0.0%, 0.0% ; Square – 9.2%, 9.9%, and for wireless dongle: Circle – 0.8%, 0.8%; Square – 10.0%, 10.4%. Very good values for both shapes. (Also, this taught me that being wireless affects the error rate).OTHER:The type of game I played (& the fact that it’s offline) doesn’t really give me any reference point for whether the input delay is good, other than it “felt fine”. Going by the data at Gamepadla (dot com) – which measures actual latency (which is CORELATED to polling frequency (Hz), but still technically different (& high polling rating can still produce delay), this controller ranks 9th (among tested controllers, at time of me looking) in dongle latency, 11th in Bluetooth latency, but only 26th in cable latency. TO BE CLEAR, cable is faster than dongle which is faster than Bluetooth (it’s values for those respectively: 6.83ms, 11.91ms, 14.28ms), it just doesn’t get as big of a boost from a cable as other (+, some tested were cable only & had less latency). Also, that ranking for cable becomes 15th if you only look at Hall sensor controllers. (Dongle becomes 5th, and Bluetooth becomes 3rd – mainly because Xbox & Playstation have much better dongle & BT technology than these 3rd parties, but don’t have Hall sticks yet). I plan on playing this with the dongle, because I already had a sufficient wired controller (Gamesir T4K, which is 2nd in cable latency). As far as I can tell, there wasn’t a difference in gameplay (open-world action offline) between 2.37ms cable (on my T4K) & 11.91ms on this controller’s dongle.Also, it’s not super relevant to me because I don’t play marathon sessions and I also have a back-up wired controller (this has a cable…but it’s not a great quality one), but the battery life was OK. I played with the rumble on level 3 of 4, and the lights on the 1st level and I usually got 3-4 nights of gaming (2ish hours each) before having it blink red. (I don’t know how long it lasts on red, I just swapped controllers and charged it at that point). I ended up changing the lighting to “off” (though you can still see the buttons a bit), in an effort to extend the lifespan (since, who looks at the buttons when they play? I generally play at night in the dark, so lights are just distracting anyway).CONS:Some personal preferences (sort of ,“cons”) – Speaking of dongles, this one is so big. I’ve seen controllers with dongles that are as small as those for wireless mice & keyboards (& work well), so I’m not sure why these companies continue to put out giant ones that are more likely to get hit & destroyed. Next, I know “changing settings on the fly” is a plus for most people, but I actually prefer having a software suite (so I have 100% visual confirmation things were changed as I intended). That said, mapping the stick-press to the back buttons, and changing the vibration & light brightness “on the fly”, was very easy. Also, the manual mentions firmware (in the context of resetting the controller)…but doesn’t say how one would check/upgrade it, or where. I’d really appreciate if someone could tell me how to update it.CONCLUSION:Overall, I am satisfied with the purchase, but in terms of recommending it…that would depend on where you are in your gaming/controller journey. For me, I had another controller to fall back on, and I wanted multiple possible “daily driver” types, in case I wanted to switch on a whim (or use wired for backup to wireless). I also, like I mentioned before, like the options of the extra macros & such (even if I rarely utilize them). If you’re like me & specifically want a wireless controller in this price range, I’d readily recommend it. If I was being asked by a first-time (/first-in-a-long-time) controller buyer who wanted a single full-time controller, and they were either less picky in the price paid, or in the kind of features (like macros or wireless), I’d probably recommend something else.

La calidad se siente con solo tocarlo, muy suaves las palancas y los botones, puedes cambiar a tu gusto el brillo y la vibración del mando. Si le tengo que poner alguna pega sería la batería, ya que me dura entre unas 3 y 4 horas. De resto un 10/10
