5.0 out of 5 stars Emulation fan's dream-come-true August 28, 2012
Amazon Verified Purchase
I've been waiting a long time to find a gamepad that would work with my phone for classic game emulation. The Gametel pad is exactly what I wanted, and it works great. The setup guides on the company website are easier to follow than the instruction sheet in the package. The only hitch I noticed during setup was that my phone couldn't find the pad during the blutooth scan if the pad was attached to my PC with a USB cord (I was charging it). It found it just fine after I unplugged the USB.

So, how's it like to use? Overall, the Gametel is about the size of a 4 or 4.2-inch smartphone. Slightly larger than an iphone, and just a touch smaller than my Galaxy S-2. The control is obviously designed to replicate the SNES controller, and the button layout closely matches the size of on-screen touch controls in SNES emulators. I have very little experience with the Nintendo DS, but I'm guessing it's close to that in how it feels in the hands. It is definately more comfortable to hold than the tiny Game Boy Advance SP. Build quality is acceptible... nowhere near the quality of an original SNES controller, but it is very lightweight. The buttons and D-pad all feel solid and the unit does not rattle when shaken. The L and R trigger buttons feel a bit chincey compared to the others, but they work fine and tend not to be used much, anyway.

In-game response has, so far, been great. I have not noticed any lag, stuck buttons, or other errors. I imagine there will be some issues with all the different combinations of software and hardware people are using, but SuperGNES on my Galaxy S-2 running Android v4 has been excellent. It's such a great feeling to be playing classic games again with real buttons! I have played games on phones with physical keyboards, and the Gametel pad is a drastic improvement over those as well.

4.0 out of 5 stars awesome device November 14, 2012
By GRIM
Amazon Verified Purchase
Ive owned this device for about a few months now and its great. not without its faults but still a really good investment. first the pros: this thing turned gaming on my phone into a breeze. i use emulators like sgnes (snes) and my boy(gba), and gbc emus etc, and the touch screen controls that come with these emus ARE WORTHLESS! pairing it is easy and attatching it fits perfect on my exhibit ii.ive never ran out of battery so i guess i can say it had good battery life. some cons: ....the dpad...why....the circle pad? a cross would have been awesome. it works well, but sometimes i noticed for games like street fighter its a pain to do the hado kin.but for any other of my favs its great.

5.0 out of 5 stars Best Gamepad you can buy January 11, 2013
By hm
Amazon Verified Purchase
LOVE this, definitely the best and reasonably priced gamepad you can buy for your phone or tablet. It pairs up pretty easily, and so far I've used it for about 10 hours or so and haven't had to charge it yet. After it's paired, you just turn on the gamepad and your phone recognizes it immediately and prompts you to change the input device, no need to re-pair. You need to download the app on your phone or tablet first to be able to use it, and you'll likely need to plug it into your computer to update the firmware when you first get it(you can go on the Gametel website for instructions). Works great with epsxe on my android, and it actually fits my S2, even with the humongous Q-cell extended battery I have. I highly recommend this if you use emulators. No more ugly digital controls blocking the screen whilst I play.

One thing: I prefer having regular up/down/right/left controls similar to the PS3 controller, rather than the dpad on this controller. For example, it's too easy to veer up/left accidentally when meaning to simply press 'left', if that makes sense. All in all though, a great gamepad.

It works well with NES and SNES however not to well with MAME games. Hopefully Gametel will have update firmware to fix the issue, otherwise it is a great controller.

2.0 out of 5 stars eh
I can't say I'm impressed. The main reason I don't really care for this gamepad is the fact that it doesn't support most games everyone plays.
