Wife broke both
These were inexpensive and bluetooth. They connected....well...not well with the firestick. Even though fully charged they would cut out and lose connection throughout a game of pacman. Wife is 105, 5'4" and unless we need to have a talk about gamma radiation, was able to break the directional pad just from "pressing too hard" on both of the ones I ordered. I don't write reviews unless there's a big problem or something is beyond expectation so I'm going to have to say I wouldn't recommend these. Hey the price is great if you only want to play a few short games but if your expecting bluetooth connection to be longer than say 40 minutes and you're relying on your controller to be responsive without interruption, this is not for you.

Think twice before buying!
I might have used this controller for 24 hours total in the 2 months I've owned it. It's never been dropped and the batteries are fine. I use it with my Kinhank Super Console Pro which has a configuration feature. Today I had to unplug and plug the dongle back in because the system wasn't reading the controller properly. I attempted to reconfigure the controller to discover that the left thumb button is no longer being detected by my system and the start button requires being pushed very hard in order for it to work. I'm just glad I didn't buy a second controller just like this one because it was out of stock when I tried to.

Unit wont power up? Here's an easy fix...
Numerous reviews point to the same issue of the controller not powering up. You will know it's powering up when you see the red indicator light(s) come on. If that's now happening and your batteries are good, the issue is most likely that the positive battery contacts are not making contact with metal plate. This is because the plastic ridges between the positive battery contact and plate extend out too far; manufacturing fault no doubt. The good news is that there is an easy fix. Those ridges are made of very soft plastic. Just grab a sharp utilty razor and scrape them down. The plastic will scrape right off without damaging anything. Stick the batteries back in, and you should be up and running. I hope this helps!

Works great! The battery compartment might be finicky though - Sometimes it won't detect batteries I put in it until I roll them around and rotate them a bit. Sometimes it won't detect them at all. I thought maybe it was the batteries I used, but nope, several fresh ones had issues, and then I put in the old "dead" ones and they stayed dead..then rolled them around and suddenly the lights came on again. Tried rolling around new batteries, but controller stayed dead. Weird.

Looking for something better.
I purchased this to play SNES and NES emulation games. Although it's detected by my raspberry pi and configurable, it simply won't work when playing the games. Every other controller I've tried works but this one doesn't. Buttons also feel cheap. Also, the buttons are labeled A, B, X, Y from left to right. Back in the day it was B, A, Y, X from left to right. Looking for something better.

A decent direct input controller for a good price
This controller has served me well so far. I can sit away from my desk and play without the risk of my chair rolling over a cord, and setting it up was simple. When configuring this controller for JoyToKey, there were some extra inputs to map in comparison to my previous Xinput controller, but these were easily configured and perform adequately for my purposes. As a direct input controller, it has some configuration differences in various gaming apps, but for the most part, no additional configuration was required for games that auto-detect these settings.

It works sometimes on T95 media player, cell phone, and Chuwi Larkbox
It veers to the left on Breakneck, Most driving games do not work, But, Overkill 3, Snowboarding and BB Buggy, work. It should've rechargeable, too.

You get what you pay for
I bought this just to test playing with my nvidia shield. I just wanted the cheapest wireless controller and this was it. I had low expectations which is why I'm giving it 2 instead of the 1 star it deserves.Pros:- It worksCons:- No fine control, my nephew tried to play Portal on this and kept missing the spots because of this.
