By that I mean it's a perfect replica of the XBOX 360 controller it was obviously modeled after. Even the AA battery compartment is interchangeable. Now, it doesn't have the headphone jack, but I couldn't care less about that for my purpose. Weight and quality of materials were satisfactory at this price point and actually better than I expected. But why 4 of 5 stars? Well, despite it's price, there are some button "feel" issues. I ordered a couple more, so I'll report back to see if it's a QC issue or an actual design problem. But so far, my first sample has a flaky D-Pad. Left and down seem fine, but the right command often doesn't register without mashing it, even though it feels fine. This is a huge failing, and the biggest flaw with my sample. I hope it's just a one off... Second flaw is the triggers, which are well documented to not be great. Instead of linear, they get easier as you push them, and are difficult to control precisely in game like Forza. Also, my right trigger provides less resistance than the left, which is a little annoying, as my left trigger has a more predictable feel than the right. Last "flaw", and I'm not sure if this is the controller or another issue, but the joystick dead zone wasn't as predictable as I'd like. Looking at the Game Controller Windows interface, it looks perfect. But in games, it felt difficult to make very minor adjustments with the joy sticks. However, center was dead on center on my sample. But that's all I could find wrong. At close range and direct LOS, I could not detect any discernible delay in response that some reported. Maybe they updated the wireless, or it could be a range/LOS/low battery issues. Not sure. But my first impressions are very positive here. I like that it uses AAs, of which I always have rechargeables on hand. Overall, I'd choose this over a used XBOX 360/One controller in most cases. I've tried that route, and they often have so much joystick wear that it kills the experience. With improved QC and better trigger feel, this could pass as a fully legitimate system controller. Review: It's fine. - It’s not bad, but nothing special either. Works fine, but I think there are better options out there.

If you need controllers for your RetroPie, get these
I've been using this for over a month now with my Raspberry Pi. Having bought really bad Chinese-imported game pads off of Amazon before, I was very, very pleasantly surprised with these. * The build quality feels superb. Even the box it came in was pretty awesome. * It was literal plug-and-play on my RetroPie (Raspberry Pi). I haven't tested it on x86/x64 Windows, but assume it's the same * Automatic power-off! It's powered by two AA batteries, and I was worried after reading reviews that there was no off switch. It automatically turns off!! Way better than an off-switch, which would've been a huge pain. I've been using the same batteries since I got it. * They look pretty darn cool Overall this is a pretty well designed product and as an Electrical Engineer myself, I'm pretty impressed. If I ever need more wireless controllers, I'm definitely buying these again.

major pc problem.(update)
I have a feeling this controller wasn't really made with pc in mind. when it works its great but right now im going to have to give it a solid two stars unless I get a fix. I downloaded the drivers and restarted the computer so thats not the problem. the problem: it connects to the pc but when it shows one player mode and in this mode the controller doesn't behave like its supposed to it acts "trippy" and wont even work for games but the middle button will open steam and what not. but some how when I accidentally activate two player mode it works just fine, i was only successful in activating two player mode two times in 3 days and it takes for ever for me to do it. so all in all i guess i should have invested in a more expensive controller. I was excited to finally get this controller and i was going to even buy two or heck maybe even 3 but now that this is happening my expectations fell drastically and I may be buying a different controller unless i just got unlucky and got a bad apple. (update) customer support was fantastic and great and really tried to help even replaces the other controller, however these controllers just dont want to work with my pc. now the cheat i could use to play with the controller no longer works with games and i am now left very unsatisfied.

good wireless xbox controller!
The control was easy to set up on my pc; the drivers auto downloaded for the control right after plugging in the usb dongle, after which the remote worked great! the remote feels good in the hand, and like the original xbox 360 controller, it has a nice weight added to it by the removable battery pack. Battery life is good (4-5 hours plus per battery pack so far). The packaging was nice, which adds that premium feeling to an already premium feeling remote. The only reason I give it 4 stars though, is that the D pad feels way too clicky for my taste (I prefer more smooth crushable buttons); other than that the a b x y buttons feel nice and crisp but not clicky, the triggers feel responsive and elastic, and the joysticks are pretty tightly fitted so that the deadzone is quite small on them. Turbo functions are a good bonus, as you can easily program any button to register as a turbo button. The wireless signal is strong enough that you can walk around a 14 x 12 foot room without the remote losing responsiveness. For the price it was at when i got it (19.99 for the red detailed one), it is definitely recommended!

Good for the price
Nice, simple and cheap (in a good way). It may not be as heavy as and a original control, but it gets the job done. The only annoying part is having to use batteries or getting a rechargable pack. Did notice a bit of the paint on the buttons starting to wear off. Other than that, this controler is great!

Good for the price.
Not a bad controller, but does have some issues. Biggest problem I have with this controller is anytime I shutdown my PC, the wireless dongle needs to be unplugged and reinserted before it will connect, doesn't happen on restart or waking from sleep just on a shutdown. Which means the dongle needs to be accessible and use up a front USB instead of just placing it in the back and forgetting about it. Other than that the seams around the controller in some places were quite rough and can dig into your hand. I had to take some sandpaper and go around the seams to smooth them out.

Disconnects too much, returned product
Updated Review: Controller has begun disconnecting too frequently to be usable. I'm talking about five disconnections within two minutes. Unplugging and re-plugging the receiver, trying different USB ports, and even different batteries. The controller would not stay connected even when held directly in front of the receiver. Before this I would of recommended these controllers, but as for now I've returned the two I purchased. Hope this issue can be fixed for future buyers! Original Review: Purchased two of these controllers to use with my gaming laptop and playing on my desktop. For the most part I love these controllers, they feel pretty much just like a Xbox 360 controller. They're also simply plug and play, as Windows 10 automatically downloads the drivers to use them. I've tested them with Far Cry 5, Resident Evil 4, Skyrim, and multiple emulated games. And they've played each game perfectly fine except for one issue... At the most random moments the controllers will disconnect in the middle of gaming! They are running on new batteries and this occurs on both my laptop and desktop. If I could figure out how to solve this disconnect issue these controllers would easily be a 5 out of 5.

Très bonne manette
Comme dit dans le titre, c'est une très bonne manette. Commandé le 16 septembre, reçu le 18. Rien n'à redire au sujet de la manette en elle-même, elle est solide, reconnue instantanément sur mon ordinateur, pas besoin de drivers. Je la conseille vivement !!! x)

same ergonomic as my xBox controller
An amazing controller. Seriously, easy to install and works right away. I was wondering if it'll work along with my xBox controller, and it did. There wasn't any interference, or none that i perceived. Well it isn't perfect of course. The buttons aren't as clickable as the ones on the xBox controller , but the joysticks are almost identical. It feels nice in your hands and also I think this controller has the same ergonomic as the one from Microsoft, at least the 360 controller. Overall it's cheaper and almost as good ad the original, so I love it. Great buy that I'm going to use every weekend from now on.

Funzionale e resistente
Parto dalla premessa che è il mio primo controller e non ho termini di paragone tuttavia il mio obiettivo era quello di trovare un prodotto resistente, compatibile e funzionale e tutto questo l'ho riscontrato nel prodotto. La scatola contiene il controller, la penna usb bluetooth e le istruzioni, anche in italiano. Il modello funziona con stilo AA 1,5V non incluse nella confezione e per la connessione al cellulare necessita di un cavetto OTG (per intenderci un cavo unidirezionale con USB femmina e l'attacco al cellulare tipo maschio) che ho acquistato a parte a 2,5€.. ma tutto ciò è ben indicato sulla scheda prodotto di acquisto. Materiali a mio parere buoni, con manopole antiscivolo, pulsanti precisi e ottima qualità realizzativa. Su box android smart connesso alla TV è sufficiente inserire la chiavetta in USB e cliccare il bottone centrale del controller, che si setta automaticamente illuminando i led inferiori (4 led blu intorno al pulsante di accensione) ad indicare che si è posto in modalità android. Basta utilizzare un gioco predisposto per funzionare con controller e magicamente il box TV si trasforma in una piccola PlayStation. Stessa cosa con i cellulari (test su Huawei P8 lite 2017) con cavetto OTG. Su PC viene riconosciuto con i sui driver nativi già su windows 7 o premendo per 5 secondi il bottone centrale switcha su emulazione xbox e quindi perfetto per i giochi microsoft. Connessione tra controller e chiavetta è sempre stabile e fluida. Sulla durata non mi pronuncio ma dopo circa 2-3 ore di utilizzo le batterie erano ancora cariche quindi direi ok. Ricevuto in tempi brevissimi ad un prezzo direi ottimo.

Guter Controller für Gelegenheitsspieler
############### Kaufentscheidung ############### Ich suchte nach passenden Game Controller für meinen Computer spielenden Teenager, der nicht mehr kabelgebunden ist, sondern über eine WLAN Verbindung verfügt. ############################## EasySMX ESM-9013 Game Controller ############################## Der Easy SMX Game Controller ist mattschwarz und von sehr guter Verarbeitungsqualität. Der Controller hat eine angenehme Haptik und liegt sehr gut in der Hand. Durch die kompakte Bauform ist er auch für Kinder mit kleineren Händen gut geeignet. Mit diesem ergonomischen Controller kann man lange spielen bevor Ermüdungserscheinungen auftreten oder die Elternschaft den ‚Kasten‘ abschaltet Die Tasten und die Joysticks, sowie das Vibrations-Feedback des Controllers arbeiten sehr zuverlässig, zumindest gab es keine Beschwerden aus dem Spielerzimmer. Die Wireless 2.4G Verbindung des Controllers funktionierte mit dem mitgelieferten WLAN Stick zu unserem Windows 7 PC einwandfrei. Treiberinstallation war keine notwendig. Das gleiche gilt für die Verbindung zu einer Android IPTV (Spiele) Box, auch hier gab es keine Probleme bei der Inbetriebnahme. ########### Lieferumfang ########### - Easy SMX Game Controller - USB Wlan Stick - Empfänger - deutsches Handbuch #### Fazit #### Wir sind sehr zufrieden mit diesem kompakten EasySMX Controller. Es gibt keinerlei Verbindungschwierigkeiten und der Controller lässt sich gut bedienen. Für ein Spielchen zwischendurch ist er sehr gut geeignet.

Excellente à un petit détail.
Je l'ai acheté pour la PS3 car elle ressemble à une manette xbox 360 qui reste ma préféré et elle fonctionne aussi bien que sur mon PC. Je lui enlève 1 étoile à cause de la led bleu que je trouve bien dérangeant en jeu. Hormis ce défaut, elle est parfaite.
