Pros & Cons

Update Pros and Cons

The AI used to provide these results are constantly improving. These results might change.

Pros

Once the controller is customized over a usb connection, the settings are saved to the controller. This is the mode that xbox controllers use and it seems to be what windows works best with. Connectivity is no surprise, but i didn't notice any input l... Read More

The software is legit but the macros could be better. The customization software is great. Easy to install software on every platform for customizing.

Well, this thing is fantastic! Price is great. It looks incredible. The performance is surprisingly good, and i can order repair parts on their website.

Nintendo/super nintendo emulators. These are applications on my computer that i use to play old school roms. The vibrate on this controller sets a really high standard and makes the games that much better.

The entire controller has a matte finish and is fully textured on the under side. The face * are glossy and perfectly concaved.

Cons

The ergonomic design is terrible. After 3 months of headaches, i returned it for a refund. I'm sure after hours of headaches i'll be able to fix it.

Has a noticeable input lag on the switch, even on the latest firmware. The software for this controller also has no linux support. It frequently disconnects or crashes the bluetooth drivers.

Those are literally the only two games i've had issues with the controller in, and i've tested like 20 games.

Competitiveness

It can't be beat for the price, and i'd say it's just as good as the pdp victrix pro bfg, but much cheaper, so long as you don'... Read More

It's far better than the ps4/ps5 dual sense controllers, and cheaper!

There is no need to pay $100 more for competitors.

I'm one of those people who rarely ever buys non name brand items.
