Inexpensive controller that does the job.

Good controller. Works for my Nexus 6 for the games GTA San Andreas and Traffic Rider. Way better than using the on screen joysticks. Feels OK on the hand. Slightly smaller than a PS4 controller. Too big to put in a pocket but perfect for a backpack. The back triggers are a bit strange but I got used to them quickly.

Only con is how the holder grips my phone. I have to do some finessing so that it doesn't clamp down on my power & volume buttons.

Still a good buy. I have no regrets buying it and it's cheaper than using a PlayStation controller and it's wireless!

Good z-wave controller much cheaper than other available controllers. Paired easily with my Aeontec stick and HomeSeer to control Christmas lights. I like the outlet being on the side so that the cables run along the wall instead of sticking out further.

Worked flawlessly and easy to override manually  with the touch button. The button is recessed to prevent accidental activation but still easy to press.

I've been testing cheap controllers for PC for a bit just refusing to buy an actual xbox controller to play with. I used a cheap logitech one for about a month, and it has completely gone to trash, constantly disconnects itself and I don't even move the controller. So I saw this one and decided I'd give it a shot. Low reviews, but mostly good ones, and I'm honestly pretty happy that I did pick this up. If you play with playstation controllers, then you'll be a fan of this one. The buttons are all very responsive, joysticks feel good, and I've ran into no technical errors yet at all. The plastic is a little cheaper and smoother than a play station controller, so there's that to consider. All in all for a low price, its a great controller for PC users. Oh yeah it plugs into the PS3 USB port and works perfectly fine too.

MadCatz used to make the best off-brand controllers.  Those days are no longer with us.  This controller was cheaply made.  The controls were loose and the plastic felt cheap.  I got a white model, unlike the picture (which is fine) but the pictured quality looks much better than the quality I recieved.  Despite this cheap feel, the controller works fine.  I haven't tested it's long term endurance yet, but for now it is working like a charm (other than the fact that it feels like i'm holding a delicate house of potatoe chips in my sweaty palms).  I would buy again if I needed wireless, simply due to the good price, but I would definitely opt for a wired controller over this cheap knockoff of a knockoff controller.

I bought this as a simple KODI controller.  Out of the box it worked to do up, down, left, right, OK, context menu and back.  Home kinda works.  The volume buttons do not work in KODI - will have to be remapped.

This is all under Windows 10.

If you are looking for a cheap utilitarian KODI controller that isn't IR (gag) then this does the trick.

you can tell its a generic controller. A bit hollow but it works right and is priced right

I bought this exact controller off of Ebay for 9 dollars.  It was as easy to set up as plugging it in and setting up the emulators to run with the controller.  It works like a charm.  It is the exact size as a standard PS controller even down to the analogs which have that powder coating for grip and the buttons work fine and don't stick.
The only issue I have had is when I turn my computer on I get a message saying that whatever is plugged into the USB port is not being recognized as anything.  So I have to unplug it when I turn my computer on.  But for a controller that works perfect I can deal with it.  I got a disk that came with it but I won't put it in my disk drive as I have no idea whats on it.  And most of the disks that come with stuff like this just has a bunch of malware on it anyway.  So I wouldn't use it even if I did know what it was for.

A final note: I only play emulated games I own.

For the cheap price, this controller is equal to if not better than the standard Microsoft Xbox 360 controller. The LED lights are adjustable to three different settings: rumble lights, constant light, and no light, but I generally prefer no lights because it gets a little distracting when playing in the dark.

The overall button scheme and feel for this controller is pretty much the same as a Microsoft controller, however, the the "pause" and "select" buttons are a little higher up and harder to reach with your thumbs. The controller also feels a little small for larger hands-- Although a little play time to get used to these differences should solve any discomfort issues. The buttons and analog sticks are also a little bit louder to click, but for the most part they don't distract playing or feel any different. The plastic also feels sturdy enough and my controller has survived a few waist-high drops.

The only concern I have for this controller is that I have not found an easy way to get the controller to respond to MAC OSX games through the USB port (Which is what I originally bought this controller for). I downloaded a driver called Tattiebogle, which tracked movement and registered button clicks from the controller, but it did not allow me to play my games. Until this controller is compatible for MAC OSX, I am not fully satisfied with it.

For anyone that wants a cheap and cool looking controller that plays with the same quality as a Microsoft Xbox 360 controller, here it is!

Very simple setup and comes ready to go. You will have to have separate wiring for the battery and for the load side. Not a huge fan of the controller but it is adequate to the job. Limited instructions for the controller which I found confusing.

Simple to use, well placed buttons allow easier operation. Would've expected a few more manual controls, but I guess this is enough considering the price. Image quality is decent enough, and the color is pleasant and not too bright.

Nice controler.  Had to download a program to program the controler inputs for my child to play games.  Works as described and fit and finish is very good for this price range.  I would buy this controler again, and probably will for a retro pie set up in the vehicle.

Decent universal remote for the price. Illumination could be brighter for use in the dark but the remote gets the job done. It doesn't cover as much ground as, say, a Harmony remote, but it also cost a fraction of the price. I bought it to control my TV and a old Roku 2 and It gets the job done efficiently.

This controller does everything I need it to do. So far it has worked with every game that I have. In X mode most games that are set to recognize a game pad will configure it automatically and with the driver software it is fairly easy to program the controller to work with other games by manually mapping keystrokes to the various buttons. The controller itself is a bit lighter than I would have preferred, but it it is sturdy and does not feel cheap. it fits in the hand comfortably and all of the buttons are easy to reach. Logitech usually has pretty good devices and I am pretty happy with this one.

After experimenting with this controller it seems to do the job pretty well for what I need it for. Two 50 watt panels mounted on a small electric powered boat I am building to keep the battery's powered up, not sure how it will work out but then who cares its just  A thing I am doing to pass time. Winter is here so it will be tested in the spring on my canoe for fishing. Right now all I am doing is powering lights etc. and on sunny days it does the job of charging the battery's fine.

The adapter works as expected, some button mapping may be needed for your controllers but that is to be expected.

This is a versatile controller for a reasonable price.  The ability to add more zones as needed is very helpful.  The USB integration is a great function as well if you like to configure on a PC.  I have found that it is easier just to program it from the controller itself.

for the price this thing is fine. using it to control one Win7 and one XP machine with the same keyboard and mouse.
much has been written about the switching delay -- we're seeing about a 1/5th of a second.
deployed 3 of these. been running for about 3 months now.
