Best features are multi-device connectivity, solid design, clever battery compartment, button remapping. - Due to limitations in iOS, currently you need to add the device through Settings>Accessibility>SwitchControl>Switches>BluetoothDevices.
- The battery compartment has a rechargeable battery pack that can be removed to fit 2AA batteries if it later dies or you forgot to charge which is really handy.
- Device switching is done by a physical switch on underside of controller with 4 different device profiles.
- Biggest con: the start and select buttons in the centre are rubbery with slow release and feel like it's a matter of time before they get stuck. Luckily I don't use them that much and literally all the other buttons and switches are great.
- Black version has tiny labels for the solid black ABXY buttons, but I didn't really need them. I think the other colour schemes have have transparent buttons with normal sized ABXY printed underneath?

Best controllers at this price point. High quality. Exquisite design. comfy hold
These work awesomely ! Arrived a day earlier !The only thing I was quite irritated with is the "hidden" fees of amazon. The total price only shows at payment page. And even though I've changed to currency to NZD, I've just realised I was charged in AUD from my bank invoice. Which is total bull. Didn 't save as much as I thought I would. Just a couple of bucks compared to Mighty Ape.That being said, These are of high quality and is just as advertised.Word of advice though, I bought this to play Genshin Impact, and was mortified to find that fhe game doesn't support controllers on android. And so I spent a whole day figuring out how to make it work, trying different 3rd party apps. And finally landed on one that works : Mantis Gamepad. Highly recommend. Works like a charm, and it 's free. Unless you wanna use your controllers for different games and need some sophisticated settings, then you can choose to pay for pro. But for me, I only play Genshin. Takes some getting used to since I've been playing it on my tablet since it launched, but I finally won 't get sore wrists now.
