I went through a lot of different controllers on this website, and judging by the pictures, this was the best value at this price point, and I don't think I was wrong in that assumption.
PROS:
-The controller arrived incredibly fast, and was packaged nicely.
-The controller is made of a sturdy plastic, and feels very solid.
-The Weight of the controller is balanced and is perfect for long gaming sessions.
-The joysticks are very smooth and have just the right amount of resistance to them.
-Controller is analog, can be switched to digital (I think, not entirely sure.)
-Turbo functions are perfect for Side-Scrolling Shooters and SHMUPS
-Buttons are nice and "clicky"
-The Controller is very responsive
-Works well with SNES, Genesis, Playstation 1&2, Nintendo 64, and NES emulators.
-Set up was quick and painless.
-Form factor is basically a Playstation 2 controller, so comfort is a constant. Very nice for extended gaming sessions.
CONS:
-The 1 and 3 buttons are a little to close to the left stick, I found my thumbs rubbing against the stick. Which was uncomfortable.
-Doesn't have any functioning START or SELECT buttons
-The D-Pad's buttons have a lot of travel time on them. Which takes a bit of getting use to.
-Cord is only about 2/3's the length of an official PS2 Controller (Doesn't effect me, but might some.)
The negatives this controller has, aren't nearly enough for me to remove any stars at all from the overall score. Though there are a few of them, they are really just little nit picks that can very easily be worked around and adjusted to.
The controller is a lot better than I was expecting for the low price of 9.99 USD.
If you're in the market for a gaming controller for your PC, this isn't a bad choice.
A solid design, comfortable form factor, and responsive controls make this an incredibly good choice for the other more expensive controllers on the market.
EDIT:
After a few weeks of frequent use on this controller, I can say for certain that you're not going to find a better value when it comes to quality.
I've played countless hours of gameplay with this controller, and it continues to work like new.
The controller itself is a glossy blue finish witch looks beautiful in light or dark settings.
The buttons/analog are very responsive and work well.
The layout with the 6 buttons on the side is perfect for certain games, fighters in particular.
Built solid, real solid.
Perfect for emulators of the ps2 and xbox era and under.
Cons
The controller itself will not not be detected on burnout, borderlands 2,and batman city goty (others as well) even though windows 7/8 reads the axis and buttons just fine on a laptop and desktop I have.
This controller will not work with xbox 360 controller emulation because the right analog stick registers as the left trigger axis and their is no way to change that (hardware setup in the controller).
The controller sticks are not 100% centered but they register as being in the middle when floating.
*Note*
The buttons in the middle are not start and select witch means that buttons 5 and 6 should take the place of them. They are mode, clear, and turbo ((rapid fire)).
The L2 and R2 are buttons not triggers (they don't function with axis).
Might want to get the Logitech f series controllers instead for 5$ more because they register as xbox360 controllers for the pc and their is so much less work to do to set up the controller, and it will work with ps3/xbox360.
That might not be a deal breaker for most people, as the gamepad is perfectly functional and feels pretty nice. But I made a bad purchase because this is not what I thought it would be. I bought this controller thinking the middle 3 buttons were actually going to send signals too, like a start and select buttons, but no. There is nothing like start or select on this gamepad. They alter the controller state internally. My idea was to use this controller with many buttons as my main pad on a raspberry pi emulation station machine. So I would configure those buttons to do things like save state, quit etc. Now I'm left with a controller that has exactly as many buttons any other modern gamepad. This gamepad was a waste of my money.

Reviewed in France on April 12, 2018
Diese zwei Tasten wären wahrscheinlich besser rechts unten nach gleichem Nummernschema zu benutzen, allerdings könnte das wieder mit dem Daumen schwer zu erreichen sein.
USB-Kabel ist 2m, evtl. stört es beim Zocken direkt am Rechner, am Fernseher jedoch könnte es noch en Tacken mehr sein.
Alles in allem für 9€ aber sehr empfehlenswert.
Kundenservice antwortet dank Zeitverschiebung (US-Firma) und damit anderen Arbeitszeiten natürlich 'verzögert', aber das kreide ich denen nicht an.
