Comfortable, big
June 15, 2017
I've had 2 Logitech G13's and a Razer Chroma in my gaming. Both G13's died within a year, and the Chroma sits in a box up in the closet. Both way overpriced, and not even close to this workhorse. Bought this I don't know how long ago, and it's a tank. Using one right now, but it's keys have half the finish worn off them from Warcraft. But it just keeps rolling on. Comfortable, big, easy to reach keys, and perfect for my use. I need one in the box because everything wears out eventually, so I want to be prepared. And at this price, can't say no. Before you spend your hard earned money on what the leets say you need to use, try this one. It rocks, takes a licking, and keeps on ticking.
Wonderful

The perfect cat on desk gamer keyboard

If you have cats on your desk and play wow or fps games this is perfect. Gives space for pesky cat and ergonomic for gaming. Works with your existing keyboard that you can now put to the side for the cat to lay down .
Good Ergonomic Gamepad For Carpal Tunnel Sufferer
September 13, 2016
I have carpal tunnel in my wrists. This gamepad has saved me hours of pain. It is ergonomically designed and that helps a lot for my left wrist. My only complaint is the "mode" button being on the bottom right near one of the enlarged red "space" keys, periodically I hit it accidentally and can't move around in games until I hit it again. I have figured that out though, and catch it almost instantly now,Definitely, for the price, one of the better purchases I've made for my Gaming Lifestyle. :)

July 24, 2016
This is so conlmfortable to use for long hours of gaming. It is compatible with any game that supports a keyboard. The only issue is that some games do not allow button mapping and this keypad does not have certain commonly used keys such as P, I, and L. Those games without keymaping are rare so no biggy.
Who is this company? No idea? I like the game pad. So far mine is working great.
October 2, 2015
So far it has been ok. Would I purchase again? Only if there are no 50% sale prices on well known game pads that start at double price. Since that never happens when I need hardware I would purchase this again, if it lasts for at least one year. So far I think it will.

The cord is just a little too short otherwise perfect
September 23, 2017
As I said the cord is a little short so you really can't be too far away from your system but it doesn't matter. For the price and the way this is made the quality of this is just like a Sony.. Maybe a little bit below. But nothing like the other aftermarket garbage that I have purchased. And when I say garbage they're all garbage and believe me in this price range they are all garbage. I have purchased many of them over the past few years. this feels like you have something in your hand the vibration is perfect the buttons move perfectly. They are set up traditionally not the way the new controllers are with the stick kind of up to the left rather than straight across. there is absolutely nothing cheap about this controller except for the price. I highly recommend it just keep in a little short. But there's ways to make it longer for a couple bucks. And when you're not paying $60 for a controller for something that's worth a lot more than 19 bucks you can spend five dollars on a cord extender with a USB. It's nothing. Or just go online and they show you on many sites how to do it. It's extremely simple even without the transmitter. But with that being said that is the only slight drawback if you want to consider that a drawback for me it's not for others it might be. But the cord is not not enough for me to say no. I have two of them. I purchased one and then within a few weeks I purchase a second one. I will never go back to Sony ever again for $60 controller
Good controller for great price
July 10, 2017
Really satisfied, I used it to play Dark Souls 2 and Sleeping Dogs and Jet Set Radio and in all cases it instantly recognized the controller and didn't make me have to go through the button mapping process. For fun I tried to use this with Counter-Strike: Global Offensive and that was a total trainwreck since the button mapping that it defaulted to was absolutely terrible, but at least it still set the buttons without me having to. The controller at least feels good in my hands and overall it feels like the thing is pretty sturdily constructed and the cord is just right for me to put it in my laptop and sit back from my monitor, or be able to lay back with it on my laptop so I would say the cord length is pretty decent. The only negatives I would put in my review is that the controller is pretty loud as far as the face buttons clicking and the shoulder buttons are a little bit on the stiff side and the equivalent of R2 and L2 have to be firmly pushed to register, other than that this is good enough for me.
and for most games this remote works just fine. The only problem I had is somewhat minor
May 18, 2017
I gave 5 stars because the price was very reasonable, the remote is decent for the price, and for most games this remote works just fine. The only problem I had is somewhat minor, and would be unfair not to give 5 stars because of. The minor issue I had was that the four button directional control on the left is not actually four separate buttons. It's one piece of plastic. So when you touch one of the buttons, the others move a bit too. Most of the time this probably doesn't matter. But I happen to have used it so my 3 year old son could play an emulated Atari car racing game on the pc. And with this particular game, pressing the backwards button, even if it's only lightly pressed, causes the car to stop as though you hit the brakes. So trying to steer the car up or down causes the car to stop. If you look carefully, you can actually see the backwards button being pressed, no matter how careful you are to press only the down button. Still, I'm sure there are many games that this remote would work well with, and cause no problems.
best of its price point
May 4, 2017
Excellent for its price. I'm always on the hunt for "that slightly cheap controller that doesn't compromise" and this one is great. Sticks are a bit looser than PS4, d-pad a touch stiffer. Buttons and d-pad do not get stuck in the housing no matter how hard you press - after 3 months of pretty frequent use. Good all around controller with no flaws, aside from the R2 / L2 buttons feeling slightly cheap. Shoulders in general are probably the worst buttons of the bunch, but still plenty usable. That said, this might not be your preferred FPS controller - no reason to put away your 360/XB1 controllers for that purpose.
Great Controller For The Price.
February 19, 2017
This is an excellent controller for the price. The buttons are solid and feel much like console based controllers. The analog sticks are tight enough and the D-Pad is the same as a PS controller. About the only thing I could nitpick on is that the controller casing feels to be of a slightly less quality plastic but much better than a cheap brand controller. No software needed. Works very well with Windows 10 and Raspberry Pi systems (RetroPie, Amibian and Combian 64).I visited the company's website and apparently they only make wired controllers so far. Would like to get a wireless version of this.
Excellent controller
August 18, 2015
I bought this for a Raspberry Pi 2 to use with RetroPie Emulation Station. It works flawlessly. Now I cam be reminded how much I sucked at some of the games, like U.N. Squadron for SNES. The controller looks every bit as good as the pictures. The drivers make it be recognized as an XBox 360 controller. I didn't have to install any drivers on my Pi.

Improved FP Performance
October 3, 2016
I've been wanting to get one of these separate gaming keypads for a long time now and all i can say is I wish I had done it sooner. I was playing a lot of Overwatch at the time and something about the layout had me shifting my keyboard at a 45 degree angle. This allowed me to do that without moving my actual keyboard and I did notice a big shift in my skill level. It was a lot easier to reach all the ability keys I had bound and thus I am able to execute better attack/defense combos.It's easy to install and I have no issues with the build quality with about 40 hours of use so far. Only thing that would made it better is if the back-light was able to change color. I would have preferred red to blue.
this thing is super comfortable and easy to use
August 22, 2016
This was my first time ever using a gaming keypad, so there was a little bit of a learning curve to using this product. Once you get used to where all the keys are, this thing is super comfortable and easy to use. I was able to play World of Warcraft all night without having to give my hand a break. I did notice though, that the number keys seem a bit far away from the movement keys - I found myself having to reach for them more than I would have liked to. When you're in the heat of the moment, reaching for the ability keys can mess up your hand placement on the keypad and ultimately cause some problems. All things considered, though, that's my only negative for it. It's COMFORTABLE, LOOKS NICE, and is DURABLE. 4 out of 5 stars.
I really like it and use it but I cant avoid talking about one of the problems.
July 29, 2016
If I could give this 4.5 stars I would. It's perfect for gaming and because of its size and led lights its perfect for travel as well. the space bars were perfectly placed in a fashionable way to the point where using it felt almost natural. And the size allowed for an incline that felt perfect in the palm of my hand.There's one small problem that I cant give a perfect score for. The shift key which, if you play games like overwatch as I do you will know how often the shift key is used for important abilities. the shift key is placed right next to the A key which I was not used to as it usually is below the caps lock key which I could easily use my pinkey finger for but now i would need to keep that finger higher than I'm used to. This was not really a huge problem because all I had to do was get used to it which I have.And if you're wondering how I typed this, I do keep an extra keyboard plugged in to my computer behind this one. However you could just use the on screen keyboard program that comes with recent windows versions.
It's decent
July 24, 2016
I've both loved and hated this product. The placement of the keys bothered me so much. The shift key is higher on the keypad than a normal keyboard. The V key is almost useless due to being so close to the mode button. The space bar is a tad bit too small to just slap with your thumb. But for the price it works well enough. There a ton of things to like though. It is small enough to make your own little lap board with mouse for those like me who have shoulder pain. The keys lit up well and it is fairly quiet as well. I wish you could do a little test run before buying.
Nice idea, but some questions about build quality
February 5, 2016
I bought this to pair with a multi-button mouse for MMORPG games, and chose it mostly because there is no offset between the keys from row to row (in other words, the W key isn't halfway between the A and S keys in the row above it). First, the high points: This is an attractive piece, it sits solid on a desk and doesn't slide around, and the backlighting -- while dim -- is a nice feature. But mine arrived with two keys (the left space bar/trapezoidal button, and the button for the >/. key) failing to fire about 3 times out of 10. That's a grossly unacceptable failure rate for a gaming piece. Fortunately enough, as a right-handed player, this sits at my left hand, and the left space bar isn't reachable anyway. That left me only with one non-functioning button that I have to work around. Other than that, this is a simple device with a simple function, and it executes the plan very well. I was especially impressed with the ergonomics and comfort of this piece. There's a pitch to the keys that allows you to put this device on a desk higher up than a keyboard would sit, and it takes a lot of strain off the wrist when used in such a way. One final note: While the design would suggest this is an ambidextrous device, the SHIFT, CTRL and ALT modifier keys are present only on the left side of the unit, so it would take some remapping before it could be used by a left-hander. Overall, I'd probably buy it again despite its flaws, but others might not be so understanding.
Amazing
August 10, 2015
Sweet deal, I game on my ROG laptop and the keyboard on it is not so great. I wanted a gaming keyboard for this reason, and this product delivered that. Great product for a awesome price. Only gripe would be the instructions are all in Chinese but it worked right when I plugged it in so no real foul there.

Very nice controller
September 7, 2017
Looks as good as the picture and feels really good in my hand as I use it. I like that I can just plug it into my USB port and play. I don't have to download apps, or press different buttons in a order to sync it with my computer or buy tons of batteries or worry if it's losing charge. I don't mind the cord at all as it is more than long enough. Price is reasonable and product is good quality.
Great Controller for RetroPie
May 8, 2017
This controller feels nice and was surprisingly simple to set up on my RetroPie (Raspberry Pi 3) device. I ordered two of these, but found that the left stick on one (when actuated to the right) doesn't work. That's a minor issue, but is what keeps me from giving this a four-star rating (it's rare that I give 5).Overall, I'm very impressed by this controller and would recommend this one to friends.BTW, RetroPie identifies these as Xbox 360 controllers, in case anyone was wondering.UPDATE:The seller (William-G) quickly sent a replacement for the defective controller -FREE of charge, which functions just fine. These controllers are great, and the customer service was excellent. For that, I've updated this to four stars.
This is a really great controller for the price!
March 14, 2017
This is a really great controller for the price! Its controls are pretty smooth and the buttons press down evenly and never get stuck. The analog sticks are smooth and responsive.The only complain I have is that it will randomly stop working. I use it for Skyrim, Rocket League ETC, and probably have 20 hrs on this controller now. It has stopped working maybe 3-4 times and all you have to do is unplug it and plug it back in. A slight annoyance sure, but for $20 what more can you ask for?This was to replace my Steam controller which I did NOT care for as i hated the right "touch pad" and MUCH prefer the analog stick.
Fair replacement for certain games
September 28, 2016
I got it for use on my PS3. My old 3rd party controller finally bit the bullet & I needed another PS3 controller that was around the size of a 360 one, but as responsive as a standard PS3 controller. This one came the closest to fitting the bill. It's bigger then a PS3 controller, but JUSt under the size of an Xb1 controller. It's quite comfortable, the buttons are responsive.However it's not without some flaws/things that I would change. For one, the cord is amazingly short (I would say between 4 & 5 feet). My guess there is that the creators of this thing figured PC users would be the primary customer & not someone who wants to sit back on their couch & just "veg" on the couch or chair while playing a game on the console. So if you get this thing for similar reasons that I did, get yourself one of the extender USB cables in addition to this controller. I also would have liked the handle areas to have a rubber texture for a better grip. As with the controller that this one replaced, you have to turn on the PS3 the "old fashioned" way, there is no button to turn it on with this.I've not tried this on my Xb1 or PC, I've also not tried it with certain games types on my PS3 (like fighters).
Good PC Controller, Without Bad x360 Controller Style.
August 26, 2016
Want an easy controller for your PC but dislike the x360 controller style? Here you go. It's certainly not going to fully feel like a PS controller but comes about as close as a third party controller will do. If there's anything i can say against it, it's that the cord is a bit short, so if you're going to use for a console, it probably wont work too well if you depend on wireless controllers or long cords.
Only con: ABXY buttons
April 11, 2016
This is a great USB PlayStation 2 styled controller that works excellently and feels great in the hands. Feels very sturdily built.Plugged it into my PC and the drivers were instantly installed, little to no wait time. Doesn't take any time to load software or drivers when you plug it in, simply plug and play. I'm able to even plug it in mid-game and switch from keyboard/mouse to this controller.Works perfectly for my PS2 emulator, and even works on some Steam games, such as Rocket League.Only cons are that it uses an ABXY button system on the right-hand side of the controller, instead of the XO[square][triangle] as on the original PlayStation controllers (could be a Sony trademark).Overall, great controller that I look forward to using often.

September 11, 2017
Fair it works but would like if it was closer to a keyboard setup as other gamepads have a analog so I thought this was a keyboard version. Space key is way out of reach so have to use .(period) key in games instead. Also wish it wasn't angled downward or had tilts on the front end as it requires you to have a slanted wrist instead of straight. Tab alt shift are also akwardly sized from a regular keyboard.
It's OK
August 30, 2017
Works OK, but as there are numbers missing, there are times in gaming where I need to reach back and grab my wireless key board to hit numbers 7 through 0. Also, though it has 2 levels of lit keyboard, neither is very bright and don't work well in the dark. I need to keep a light on so I can see where my fingers are after shifting up and down on the keyboard. Could use some type of touch mark on the red keys so you can find the center without looking.As always, they make better ones, but I opted for a lower cost unit. It's worth about what I paid for it.
I returned this item
July 22, 2017
This gamepad did not feel very natural to use and the build quality felt a tiny bit flimsy. The buttons were not easy to find while gaming. I returned this product.
Issues with the software
July 13, 2017
In fact, the item is of good quality, but there are two serious drawbacks. The software - I failed to download it, it is from site in German I was not able to complete the task. If you are German speaker, probably there will be no issues with that though. Second - the location of LShift button is not where it is on the keyboard, which makes it hard to use it. Again, it is was possible to download the software and reprogram the buttons, could be ok.
a key fell off but was easily put back
April 11, 2017
adequate. a key fell off but was easily put back. however i had random instances were keystrokes did not work
Not for small hands.
August 7, 2016
This keypad is pretty big and the keys are very cheap feeling, however it serves it's purpose for me. I bought it to use for gaming so I could have my keyboard in a different position then my mouse. Also I have number keys on the mouse so it's not a con for me that the number keys on this pad require you to have a strange hand position, but if you have small hands this is not for you.As a cheap desk space saver, it's a good buy. I haven't used other keypads like the razer or logitech variant, but if you have the money I'd shop around before settling for this.

Really short chord
July 14, 2017
The chord is really really short. Don't expect to be able to play on your couch. Luckily it's long enough for me but I wish I had an extra foot at least.However another negative point is there were 2 games that the controller did not work on. I don't think it's the controller's fault, I blame it on the software but just the fact that on the first day 2 games didn't acknowledge the controller was a negative thing. Again I don't think it's the controller's fault, I think it's those 2 games but it's just another factor.
Cheap and serviceable for casual gaming
May 12, 2017
This controller is okay for the price point. Definitely not a PS3/4 controller or Xbox quality level here. The joysticks and triggers are slightly mushy and across a few games I've tried with it there is a laggy response, like perhaps the contacts on the triggers aren't being engaged to send commands to the computer. Totally useable but if you are a serious gamer, spending twice as much will get you quality your expecting to trounce the competition.
Great Out-Of-The-Box controller! Issue with difficult Triggers.
March 14, 2017
UPDATE REVIEW--When using this controller for Farming Simulator 17, I realized an issue that's quite bothersome: The dynamic Triggers (behind the bumpers) need to be pushed EXTREMELY HARD for max use.Meaning, if you are playing a simple game where the key is either On or Off, you're fine. However, if you need a dynamic control, like for simulators or driving, then to have Max Acceleration you have to almost break your knuckle pushing the trigger in.Other than that it's a fantastic controller, so I still use it even though I have two Wireless PS4 controllers I can use with my PC instead.Out-Of-Box Review --I haven't used this for a long duration, but this works great with my Raspberry Pi Console Emulator! I'm always worried about controller companies, but this guy seems pretty durable. I also didn't realize the "trigger" buttons are actual buttons, not triggers, so I was worried that it wouldn't replace my loved PS4 controller (I had to stop using them because the charge/data cord was getting loose in the socket and very annoying). However, the angle and feel of the trigger button on this ZD controller feels great, so I'd have no issue using it on my PC as well!Controller feels solid, with just the right amount of heft.If it ever breaks or wears out I'll be sure to update this review accordingly.
Not bad, but not so good as I expect. :(
December 20, 2016
I give this controller 3 starts. Here are my review about this product.Good: Price is good, and it works well. It also looks good.Not so good: The feeling of two direction control axis make it hard to do exactly control. If you move it a little bit, it's ok. If you move it entirely, it's also ok. However if you want to move it between those two position I mentioned, it will be easily move fully.Bad: I can not understand why people design the trigger axis like this... They make it a button and put pressure sensor in it.......However, if you want to drive a car, you can't control the acceleration as you want. If you shooting a gun, it sometimes (35%) not shoot the trigger....In brief, it's good if you just want a controller and don't mind the feeling or accurately control. It will not be a good choice if you need any accurately control.
Not a fan
June 29, 2016
I'm personally not a fan of this controller. Functionality wise it works OK, but what I really don't like about it is the back triggers. The left one seems alright but the right one isn't nearly as responsive. I use this controller to play rocket league, and for whatever reason the right trigger (my accelerator) does not seem to be full power, unless I'm literally jamming my finger into it with an uncomfortable amount of force. The triggers are buttons, rather than traditional triggers that move on a pivot point, although they seem to be pressure sensitive as well. The design just doesn't do it for me. I want one or the other; with this controller they tried to find some common ground in the middle and it just doesn't work well for my applications. The D-pad however, is outstanding on this controller; it's the only reason this is getting 3 stars. I'm not going to bother returning it partly because of the hassle, but also because I can use this controller with emulators, because of the outstanding D-pad. All in all, if it had pivot point triggers like the PS3 controller or similar to the 360 controller, it would get 4 or 5 stars.
Not as reliable as I'd like, but promising.
January 8, 2015
PROS:* Works without drivers on Windows* Works as an XBox-360 controller* Comfortable shape* Reasonable price* Controls work as expectedCONS:* Slightly light - needs more internal mass* Triggers sometimes don't fire* Triggers sometimes get mechanically stuck* A-button is slightly stickyIt might be as simple as opening it up, adding a some weights, and trimming off some plastic flashing.It might also be something that gets better as it wears in a little.

The keyboard is wrong
March 16, 2017
I thought I was going to do away with the opponents, but it was just the opposite; Finished with me is uncomfortable to play, the keys are poorly positioned and stick, the player walks alone, without pressing any key. The keyboard is wrong
The design layout makes this product unusable for most PC gamers out there.
February 24, 2017
Okay, if you are looking at this kind of item then you pretty much understand what it is, what it does, and how it works. The product is made well, but its design makes it almost useless to those that play MMORPGs, MOBAs, or just about any computer game made. Here is why:-Take a look at the WASD keys and the position of the 'Shift' 'Control' keys. *Anyone who has used a traditional keyboard in forever will have trouble accessing the 'shift' key due to it being directly across from the 'A'. Which means that while you are moving left, or strafing left - you will have to bring your pinky finger in horizontal alignment with the rest of your digits, which is just not done. That is why the caps lock key, whois position is taken by the shift key, is a toggle on/off. Any MMO rpg game is out.- I have a big hand, which means I can reach all of the keys but even then the space bar is out of position and if you have normal hands .. .well forget about it .* Lay your hands on your keyboard at the WASD our thumb naturally rests on the '>.' which is above the space bar. During any type of gaming action you will find your self not touching the space bar (jump) that you want but instead hitting the 'B'. '>.', or worse the 'mode' key which turns your WASD keys into direction keys! This will ultimately kill any game you are playing because the WASD keys and directional keys represent different actions entirely.-Since none of these buttons are memory keys and you cannot change the functions of the keys without also changing them on your MAIN KEYBOARD, there is not way to set it up to be functionally useful. The side lying buttons on both the left and right hand side are also misplaced as it is too easy to hit the HOME key, which will throw you out of your game entirely. Try seeing your score in a FPS after going out of your game and to your desktop as your browser takes you to your home screen. arggghh .This is a shame over all as everything is made reasonably well, and feels decent. Ergonomically it is okay as well. But either through a aesthetic desire or some weird Asian setup, this gaming pad will not be useful for gaming PC users.
Try another
February 20, 2017
The keypad isnt bad to play with. Having movement keys plus extra hotkeys is a plus. The parts I dont like is that the caps lock key is removed so the shirt and alt keys are moved up creating a different feel while gaming. The space bar key is a bit further than normal. It takes time to get adjusted to the new layout. remapping other keys may be required as well. I also had a ctrl that needed to be completely pressed to activate. The box has been thrown away,oops, or i would return it.
Ehhh
January 25, 2017
Feels pretty cheap, but I guess you get what you pay for. It is rather uncomfortable for me and lots of keys are out of reach unless I lift my palm. Space bar seems kind of silly, it is dropped too low below the other keys so it is a chore to get to it. Overall not all that impressed, I had higher hopes for it. I play a lot of Battlefield 4 and I just couldn't get used to this... went back to my regular keyboard for now.

Great for the price
June 19, 2017
Edit:So, originally I liked this controller for the most part. I played some Dark Souls, and it seemed okay. However, when I started playing Spelunky, which heavily relies on hitting the R2/trigger button, I started noticing some serious issues. It just doesn't always seem to register the R2 button being hit. Sometimes it will, sometimes it won't. When it does, sometimes it'll cut in and out. If you want this for maybe some emulators or games that don't use the L2/R2 buttons, I think you'd be fine. Otherwise, I'd skip this controller.Original text:Honestly, for the price that they're asking for, this is a great controller. It's not going to be as top of the line as actual XBox or Playstation controllers, but for around a third of the price, you can't expect that. I haven't had any issues with the controller not being responsive or buttons not working. It feels comfortable in my hands (though it's light, which I know some people don't care for). It's nice for if you want a Playstation-esque controller that actually has the buttons labeled like an XBox and works in games just as if it were an XBox controller.Pros:- XBox Input and button labels (good for those of you all like me who shuffle between the different consoles/controllers and can't remember what button is where)- Cheap price, but doesn't feel super cheap (I wouldn't say that it feels like high quality either though)Cons:- The R2 trigger doesn't always seem to work- The L2/R2/triggers are very "clicky" in that they make a lot of noise- No analog triggers- The cable isn't long enough to use for any sort of media PC console experience
and HATE the feel of an xbox controller
June 6, 2017
I am a big playstation guy, and HATE the feel of an xbox controller, so I went with this as my PC controller as it is so similar and was listed as an "Amazon Pick." I wish I could give this a 5 star, as I love the controller, but the right stick was not functioning from the get go. I tried swapping right and left, and sure enough, it still did not work! I am so disappointed that this did not work properly.
Does not work properly.
November 7, 2016
UPDATE 2: One of them flat out broke after a few weeks; the light wouldn't come on at all. I missed the return window so now I'm stuck with the useless thing.The other one is usable, but both triggers fade (as in if you're holding it down it will stop working as well after a bit) and are difficult to press hard enough to work. Don't take the gamble..UPDATE: After some light use, the L2 button started to barely work at all. I gave it the benefit of the doubt and ordered another one. Same issue! If you never use L2 then maybe you can take the gamble.----It seemed nice, but the L2 button also causes the directional pad to fire most of the time. For the game I usually play it's a minor annoyance, but with another game it could really mess you up. I will probably return it for a replacement and hope the new one doesn't have an even worse problem. Besides that, it installed and worked instantly upon being plugged in with my Windows 10 machine, so that was nice. All the buttons feel nice as well. They click since they are hard plastic, but it's not cheapo feeling. It feels like a higher quality than the only Playstation-esque one you can usually get at the electronics store.
Complaints about no vibrate...how about constant?
October 22, 2016
As soon as the game started, the vibration kicked in and won't stop. It's subtle but after a while it's just annoying. If I unplug it and plug it back in it stops but if I hit any button after that--- constant vibrate again. :(
High hopes, but ultimately let down
September 5, 2016
Overall the controller was OK, but didn't last as long as I would have liked it to considering the great reviews it has. The controller had an issue with the joysticks the caused my character to always face a certain way if I wasn't actively pushing it the other way which was annoying. After several months it started to have some connectivity issues and I stopped using it after I got frustrated with having to mess with it each time I tried to play a controller based game. A nice thing is that it was plug n play so I didn't have to spend time setting up drivers or installing anything like I have for some controllers in the past.I am disappointed that it started to go downhill so quickly, but in my experience many of these controllers are either hit or miss. I wouldn't recommended getting this controller unless you've already had a good experience with one that lasted a long time. At $20 it isn't a lot of money, but it is still disappointing for it to not last as long as I would have liked. It is certainly possible that I just got a bad controller and that they are normally pretty good.
Good... for a while. AGAIN!
November 16, 2015
After a while of using the controller, this time for a bit longer, it died AGAIN. The company had sent me a replacement because I had complained about it previously and it worked fine again but didn't write another review until the same time had passed just to test it out again. The company did well by sending another but honestly could only work for a while. If you're looking for a mid term controller to use for a bit this is great, especially for the price, but if you want something long term might as well just spend the extra money and get a better one that'll last you longer. I was always taking good care of the controller ESPECIALLY the second one. Never dropped, always had a gap between the ends of the wire when it was rolled up so the wire couldn't be damaged, always kept on top of a desk and used somewhat often but in the end it just died AGAIN.

Chinese language on papers and box no other languages
September 20, 2017
All papers were written in Chinese so I have no way of figuring out what the extra keys do or if they can be programmed for game functions. Also no information on their web site for this item.
Odd key layout, uncomfortable resting position, and sticky keys
April 26, 2017
I was really looking forward to using this for MOBAs and FPSes, but the key layout is completely unusable for me. The W key is directly above the S key, and the entire row is lined up, unlike a full-size keyboard, where the upper row is offset to the left from the home row. The wrist rest is acceptable, but the position you have to place your thumb in to hit the spacebar is not comfortable. I have large hands (XXXL motorcycle glove), and it still just doesn't work for me. There's also an obnoxious mode switch button that makes it unclear when you're "switched", which has caused a lot of problems when I tap it by accident (too close to the space key), and it changes the entire keyboard layout. Avoid this keyboard at all costs!

Stupid design
July 24, 2016
The "Mode" button is totally useless and often make you lost control of your movement when playing game. And "shift" is next to "A", how many people have such a long little finger? Stupid design.
Meh - in every way possible - just meh
July 9, 2016
First of all, it's DOA (Dead On Arrival). But I still played with it.Time owned: 30 minutes. I'm a 5'10" US male; average sized in every way including my hands. This keyboard feels just slightly too big. Definitely usable, but I'm sure there's something out there that I'd like better. They also painted the actual product with fairly cheap looking paint - doesn't look exactly like pictures. They keys aren't my favorite type. There is a -RELATIVELY- large distance between the top and bottom of the keystroke. I realize lots of keyboards are like this, but I personally don't find it the best for gaming.Last of all, it's DOA. I had accepted beforehand that I was ordering something that was going to feel maybe a little cheap, but too bad for me; it is indeed cheap but it's also dead.

Received defective item
September 19, 2017
Arrived broken with one of the buttons (I believe the bottom one, PS X button) randomly being activated several times in a row without the controller being touched.
Rear trigger buttons unresponsive
September 14, 2017
I was looking for a suitable replacement for another USB game controller that I accidentally broke, and I found this. Satisfied with the price, I immediately ordered it, and received it on time, which is good, at least.However, upon trying to play a game with a heavy emphasis on the rear shoulder buttons (also known as L2 and R2), the buttons were exceptionally unresponsive, leading to poor gameplay and inconvenient button timing, which ruined some of the game's experience.The shoulder buttons are designed in a very odd way. Unlike the more classic "trigger-shaped" buttons that you might see on an Xbox controller, these are flat like a Playstation's controller, except that these have very poor tactile feedback capabilities. I'm sending this back. Avoid at all costs.
L2/R2 Shoulder Buttons not sensitive.
June 22, 2017
Honestly, I'm really disappointed. I've purchased this product before and it worked really well for me for a few years but eventually it started to wear down, which is expected. I purchased a new one earlier this week and was looking to seamlessly transfer over to using this new controller. Unfortunately that didnt go as planned. The L2/R2 triggers arent sensitive enough for many of the games I play on PC. I'm not sure what they did differently, but its simply not being detected in my game unless I MASH on them very hard. The reason I purchased this controller is because of how easy it should be to press the shoulder buttons as compared to the trigger variety. Sadly this was not the case. Its unusable. Ive gone back to my old controller which still works better than this new one.Very very very disappointing.
Try something different
April 10, 2017
Ordered it, but did not use right away. 2 Months later when i have time to sit down and play the game I bought it for, the right analog does not work pointing right in either modes. Defective out of the box. Spoke to amazon and they said there was nothing they could do on their end since it was over 30 days. Seller does not respond to e mails. $20 wasted.
Controlling the player not the game.
September 10, 2016
It lacks customization. Most of the time you have to find ways around what is hard wired into it. Some games don't even recognize it as a game pad so you may have to find software to bind the buttons to your keyboard and mouse. When it is recognize by the button layout is not the same as other game pads so you end up with Y being B and X being Y. You end up having to conform to your game controller rather then the other way around.Your better off getting thisLogitech Gamepad F310
