Pros & Cons
Pros
Great value, similar to an xbox controller but at fraction of cost. Feels solid with no creaks or wobbly *. Nice to have the option to configure joystick dead zones. Great remote, easy connection, works perfectly with my pi5 board.
Highlights
Quality
Brilliant remote, easy connection, works perfectly with my pi5 board.
It works well, the buttons are durable, have the right feel and the joy sticks work beautifully.
Despite the design looking like a switch controller, switch caps are too small and do not fit.
Times out and turns off with no activity for 10 min.

For the price this controller serious impressed me with what it offers.
Packaging/appearance
Would be nice if it came in other colours.
Competitiveness
What i like most is the shape, i don't have big hands so this controller fits very nicely compared to the original xbox controller.
The vibration/rumble is super weak compared to 'proper' xbox controllers.
Aside from the quieter buttons, the best part is the price which is much cheaper than the competiton out there.
All other controllers at this price point are wired.
