Great controller for people looking to stream their Steam games from the comfort of their couch
Reviewed in the United States on April 27, 2018
Works great with the two Android phones I tried (Pixel and slightly older Droid Turbo 2). I am using it to stream my gaming computer's screen to my phone using KinConsole and it works flawlessly. I was initially planning on buying a real Xbox ONE controller and using a bracket to attach my phone to it but some googling showed that connectivity and button mapping with the Pixel was hit-and-miss at best so I started looking more at controllers designed to be used with a phone. I was a little hesitant to buy this one at first since most reviewers were talking about compatibility with all kinds of Samsung devices but I didn't find a single review for the Pixel. So I took the plunge and bought this one knowing that a few people have had luck with this controller and KinoConsole working on Windows phones. I decided to go with the Pro version as it's the model that more closely mimics the look and feel of an XBOX 360 controller (which, arguably, is the de facto controller layout of choice for the last decade or so). The buttons do have a little more pressure than a regular controller but I hardly noticed it after a few minutes of playing. Pairing was easy and painless. The sliding bracket for your phone is helpful for accommodating different phone sizes. I also noticed virtually no lag when using this over Bluetooth (maybe a 1/4 of a second slower than using a 360 controller sitting at my PC; a small enough difference for your brain to compensate without really noticing.) I played Assassins' Creed Unity without a problem. It might not work for twitchy games like CoD but honestly, if you're going to try to play multiplayer CoD streaming on a phone, you're just asking to get destroyed.All-in-all, a great controller for the price! I'm glad to be able to finally play my AAA PC games in Game Boy-like fashion on the couch now :)
