Fantastic controller and amazing customer support. The first one I bought broke a little over a year after I bought it. In less than a week they shipped out a new one to replace it. That aside, the controller really feels great to use. The sticks are precise, the buttons are nice and responsive and it’s comfortable to hold. Definitely recommend!

Not what I expected. I wish I could extend to accommodate a 8.8 inch tablet but it doesn't. It would be nice if the app supports virtual touch.

10/10 would absolutely recommend. I've used it with both my ipad and iphone and as a standalone controller for my macbook plugged in. I love it!
