arVin Wireless Gaming Controller for iPhone iOS Android PC, Bluetooth Gamepad Joystick for iPhone 15/14/13/iPad/Samsung Galaxy S23/S22/S21/Tablet, Call of Duty Mobile, Genshin, Roblox-with Back Button

I've been enjoying this controller for the last couple of weeks playing old playstation and N64 games. It paired easily with my older Android phone and reconnects immediately when I turn it on. It took me a bit of trial and error to find the mode that worked best for my needs. Even after trying them all, even the ios ones, I still needed to remap some buttons in one of my emulators. It wasn't a problem for me but could be a sticking point for some. I don't get to play games much but the batteries on the controller seem to last long enough. The overall feel of the item is a bit cheap but it makes a solid clamping connection to my phone. Once they are joined together the controller feels just fine. The shape of the device in general is quite nice with button placements in positions that make sense and feel good. Ergonomically my only real complaint is that the controller doesn't have palm rests like some of the more expensive controllers. This makes the controller smaller but slightly tiresome to use after a while of gaming. The buttons all feel pretty decent and have good response and the backlighting looks kinda neat. The shoulder buttons are clicky but they aren't so loud as to be annoying. The analogue sticks are surprisingly good and I have used a lot of game controllers over the years some of dubious build quality. Just so good! One final minor gripe is that the green color that I chose is not very green its even paler in color than the product photos. Not a big deal for me but I wouldn't choose that color again.Overall I am very happy with this purchase and am considering buying another for my daughter. It should be noted that all controllers of this kind on Amazon are exactly the same so just choose the seller with the cheapest price.PROS- Feels solid once connected to the phone- Reliable bluetooth connection- Works great with the emulators that used- Generally has a nice look to it- Button layout is comfortable and buttons have a nice feel- Analogue sticks are great- Battery life seems good enoughCONS- Some minor button mapping issues that could be a problem for some- Feels a bit budget in the hands- Would be more confortable with palm rests- Shoulder buttons are a bit clicky- Color is disappointing

It is unfortunate to say that despite the cool design of the controller, that it was non-responsive when I was attempting to use it to play COD Mobile on my Iphone. Either it is not working or I am not doing it right. If it was the latter, then the issue is that there is not a clear manual in the packaging and that it is not user friendly.I truly think this product and its buttons had a good feel to it when you press, so you need to place yourself in my shoe and see the upset I felt when I was so excited to use it and it did not work.

This is amazing works great for any game that is designed for controllers. Holding the Red B or Circle button when powering on puts the controller in Xbox mode which has worked great with all the Android games I play. Once it's in Xbox mode it will stay there until you change it so no need to hold B every time. Love that the buttons are lit. Plastic looks a little on the cheap side but it really feels solid and comfortable. I'm very pleased! Highly recommend.

I found my favorite childhood Nintendo game on Android (sky shark) and free, but the screen controller is hard to use, so I found these phone controllers and thought of giving them a try but it did not work. I tried tomb raider, car driver2, samorost3 and none of them worked. Some buttons did something like move left but not regular movements.The controller looks nice..feels nicely built. Bottom tray has cut outs for phone cameras to fit, the buttons light up showing the commands otherwise when off they look blank.It looked promising, felt like a kid waiting for it to get here. :(

I use this solely for emulators, if you are looking for something that is comfortable ergonomically and has good controls, this isn't it.But i will say if you only plan on doing some light gaming and don't wanna break the bank, this controller is absolutely perfect for that, the sticks aren't terrible, they'll get the job done, Dpad buttons are kinda spread apart, making it feel awkward to navigate menu's or characters in games, but you get used to it.All the buttons/triggers feel nice to use surprisingly, some are clickier than others but that's okay, it's a cheap controller and that's to be expected, but the build quality isn't half bad either.There is a better version of this controller for like, $40 you can get, but like i said previously, if you aren't gonna be gaming much, just grab this one, it works pretty decently.

This is the second one I bought. The first one i got as a gift and it was so awesome i had to get one for my wife a year later. Still a good product and sturdy enough to last a year so far. seems sturdy to last many but still fast response. just like a switch <3

It works fine on some games but it didn't work for call of duty. That was the while purpose for me purchasing it.

EDIT: After less then a month of light use the battery died and refused to charge rending this absolutely worthless.I bought this under the assumption that it would be a very cheap hold over until I could get something better and I'm incredibly pleasantly surprised. I've bought and used a lot a cheap Bluetooth controllers (but none like this) and wanted to see if I'd actually use this one consistently unlike the other. The answer is emphatically yes. It works incredibly well and after a learning curve to get it set up is super easy and quick to pull out and use. Perfect for emulation or native gaming. Worth the money.
