Ergonomics

Customers are highly satisfied with the ergonomics of the controller, praising its comfortable grip, lightweight design, and tactile joysticks. Some users have noted that the controller is a bit more expensive than competitors but consider it worth the investment for its superior comfort and functionality.

Build Quality

Customers generally have positive opinions about the build quality of this gaming controller from Acer, with some noting that while it may not be the most premium feeling, it still exceeds expectations for its price point and offers a comfortable grip and reliable performance.

Button Responsiveness

Customers have a generally positive opinion about the button responsiveness of the Acer Nitro Wired Gaming Controller. Most users mentioned that the buttons and joysticks are responsive, providing a great feel for gaming. However, some customers noted that the triggers are more of a "button" style trigger and not analog inputs like on current generation controllers, which might impact some PC games and apps.

Quality

The joysticks aren't the smoothest and the trigger and all the buttons have a cheap click to it.

Price


You can use your old xbox360 controllers with your pc with a $20 dongle and still have them act as wireless controllers.


If you don't care about premium features then this works well enough, the price matches what you get out of it.


Otherwise, this is an excellent value and a great controller.

Packaging/appearance


In the acer box is the xbox style controller, a usb-c to usb-a cable, a usb-a to c adapter, and lots of documentation.

Competitiveness


All around a great feel, same size as most xbox controllers, button layout is similar to nintendo switch for console comparison.


Additionally, this controller doesn't feature any form of remappable back buttons like some other similar controllers have, so ...  Read More


That said, everything does feel significantly cheaper than offcial xbox controllers.


Acer is a known quality brand, so i would expect no less.
