Forty4 Wireless Gaming Controller, Game Controller for PC Windows 7/8/10/11, PS3, Switch, Dual-Vibration Joystick Gamepad for Computer

Bought this for my kiddo to introduce him to gaming. Battery life is great and the controller has held up extremely well!

Works really well with most devices and good gaming experience

I've been using this controller for a few months now after someone I know suggested it to me as a cheap, good quality controller and I have to say that I'm satisfied. I'm a relatively intense controller gamer and no form of stick drift developped over time, which is a giant upgrade to my previous OFFICIAL XBOX controllers which developped pretty major stick drift or other issues after only a few months. Biggest downsides I've noticed about this controller is that there's a decently big input delay when using the USB dongle wireless adapter so I mostly stick to wired use. On top of that, I haven't found much use for the back buttons so I just have them unbound. Last small downside is that the center buttons (Back, Start, Turbo and Home) have a pretty unusual layout and at first I often found myself accidentally hitting the "Home" button instead of "Start" (Which is pause in most games), which would tab me out of my game and open up my Steam window. I also haven't found much of a use for the "Turbo" button as I don't play any 1st person shooters on controller but it could definitely come in handy in case you do. Overall, this controller has decent build quality, plastic doesn't feel flimsy, no real gaps anywhere in the controller and apart from tiny nitpicks such as the triggers having relatively small travel, this controller is basically perfect for pretty much any use case you can find for it. 4/5, would recommend.

Good

The joystick pads will break and wear out very quickly, and when you go to buy replacement pads you will find that the underlying sticks where the new pads would go no are not a standard size, so none of the replacements you find will fit them and you're stuck playing on the raw plastic from then on, which is cut sharp and will dig into and cut your fingertips.The sticks also get stick-drift very fast, after a few months out of the 4 controllers we bought only 1 still doesn't have very noticeable stick drift. I would recommend to avoid.

This works perfectly with my pc and my tlc TV. It's a grant buy and worth the money. The design also makes it very easy to use.

The instructions with this are so bad I'd laugh if hadn't paid for this. Honestly, I've seen better instructions with a hammer. Here's a good example: They spend the entire English part of the manual calling LB and RB, L3 and R3 even though they are labeled correctly in the diagrams. I spent a good 15 minutes trying to figure out where R3 was. I mean, it's comprehensible but only barely. It doesn't even explain how to turn the stupid thing off. I had to figure that out myself. See below for more on that...The button placement is weird. The START and TURBO buttons are a bit too close to the left joystick. They should be a bit to the right, otherwise you hit the joystick when trying to press either. M1-4 are directly where you place your fingers underneath the controller. In exactly the spot. That's great except it's SUPER easy to accidentally hit one. They should be up slightly to avoid accidents. Thankfully you can turn them off.I'm not a fan of the way it shuts off. In order to turn it off, you HAVE to plug it in to charge THEN press and hold the HOME button. Otherwise, it just switches the channel. And it only works once after you plug it in. If you leave it plugged in and turn it back on, you will have to unplug it and plug it back in to turn it off. Can't we just have a switch? Why do we need buttons that do 40 different things depending on press/hold, long press, short press or whether it's charging or whatever. Just make me a button to press to turn the stupid thing off! It's gotten so that half of what I own requires some combination of buttons in order to turn it off/on or make it do whatever. I can't remember all that... Bring back the on/off button!!! Especially for a device that needs to be kept charged, right?! It should be easy to turn off and on...Last, the controller itself feels smaller than an Xbox 360 controller even though it is basically the same size. Mostly that's because the grips are thinner. The Xbox 360 controller sits nicely in your hands. It's effortless. The grip between the 3rd and 4th fingers and your palm is perfect. You can even balance it using one finger on each hand underneath fairly easily. This controller forces you to grip it a bit more... If you don't grip it, it will slide in your hands a lot. It's also a bit uncomfortable. This is the dealbreaker for me.On the good side, the lights are really nice and all the buttons/dpad/joysticks feel pretty solid. Connecting it was pretty easy and it's rechargeable using a USB-C cable.I'm still buying something else. I might keep this as a backup but I'll never use this as a primary.

I use my controller a lot, daily. It's plug and play. After about a year one of the sticks starts to drift.I still buy this same model. The internal battery charges via C usb and lasts for extended (12 hour+) play times.I'll buy another one if/when this one fails.
