5.0 out of 5 stars An excellent value proposition for a PS5 3rd party controller

x. · July 2, 2025

This controller is very nice! It looks great, feels great to use, and the features are great too!The look of this controller rocks. It replicates a lot of the good stuff from the regular PS5 controller but adds a lot of additional valuable features of which we'll get to in a bit. But in-terms of look, this controller also wears some RGB around the center touch-button which looks awesome. The joysticks has as some lighting effects but it's more of a soft glow. The unique buttons for Square, Triangle, Cross, and Circle is terrific, especially triangle because it looks like The Legend of Zelda's TRIFORCE!In the hand the controller feels very good, I'd say for my hands it runs on the bigger side. I'm 5'4" (1.98m) and it fits nicely though I'd prefer a slightly smaller controller. The buttons runs a bit deeper than I'd like and I'd like a bit more feedback but for what it is it's still good.The true selling point to this controller though are the adjustable hall-effect triggers. There's also the ability to set up macros and adjust the sensitivity to the joysticks too, all of which are just great if you're really looking to hone in your specific controller needs.When connecting to my PC via bluetooth my computer found it no problem. Steam recognized my controller right away and knew that it was a PlayStation replica and automatically changed the layout for my steam games to show PlayStation buttons which is awesome. The controller to screen latency was near instant, I couldn't really tell if there was delay. It was responsive and I was able to reliably play with little to no attention to the controller itself, just focusing on the game.Overall, this controller is solid. It has a ton of functions, feels great to use, and the quality is excellent especially for it's price point. With all the features listed on this controller from some of the bigger brands it'd easily break north of $50 if not more. If you're looking for a PS5 replica controller with added features at a great price, this controller is it!

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprising

For the price, this is an outstanding controller. I expected just another cheap PS5 knockoff with poor build quality and gimmicky features. What I got instead was a feature-rich pad with surprisingly solid construction.First, connectivity. You can connect via USB-C or Bluetooth, and both worked well during my testing. I personally prefer a wired connection, especially for competitive games, but it’s nice to have a wireless option that works without hassle.Next, build quality. The controller feels sturdy and has a bit of weight to it. It’s not quite on par with a PS5 pad, but you can tell the manufacturer put some effort into making this feel like a quality product. The buttons have a nice tactile feel, especially the rear paddles. The D-pad is snappy, and the analog sticks feel fantastic. That said, the face buttons feel a bit gummy, and I wasn’t totally sold on the paddle placement as I found myself accidentally pressing them more than I’d like.Onto features. The RGB lighting is customizable with multiple options, which adds a nice touch. The triggers have adjustable travel distance switches, which is especially useful for fighting games or shooters where you want quicker response times. The rear paddles are also remappable, which is great for setting up macros or alternative control layouts.Now, onto compatibility. I haven’t tested it with an Xbox, so I can’t comment on that. It worked flawlessly with my PS4 though. On PC, setup was a bit trickier, Steam didn’t recognize the controller right away. Even after installing the drivers mentioned in the manual, it still took some time and tinkering before everything worked properly. Just a heads-up that PC setup might not be plug-and-play.Overall, if you’re looking for a budget-friendly controller for PC gaming this is a fantastic option. As a PS4 controller, I wouldn’t place it above the official DualShock, but considering it costs nearly half as much, it’s a very capable and worthwhile alternative.

2.0 out of 5 stars Good Controller; Stopped Working After 1 Month

The controller worked very well for about a month. However, it will no longer connect via Bluetooth and connects/disconnects repeatedly via USB. If the device still worked I would have no complaints.

Could not use to play video games on a PS five

3.0 out of 5 stars Decent Controller With Good Features, but the Battery Is Short, and Came Across Some Issues

D. · July 9, 2025

A manual was required for me to understand how this controller works because it's packed with some good features, such as turbo, calibration, and more, but you have to enter some button combinations to figure it out. The manual information can take some improvements to be honest.Connecting the controller via Bluetooth is good and responsive, but no vibration feedback when played on a PC. It connects to my PS5 and works only on PS4 games, and the vibration feedback, as well as sound feedback, is great.The design is good, although it looks kind of cheap, and the handling while playing the controller is goodI also came across an issue where I thought the right analog stick on the controller was broken, as when turning right with the analog stick, it wants to move right and up, making it annoying to play FPS games or games with a camera. As I want to point out on fps games and moving cameras in third-person games are not so responsive at all. Other times, it just wants to move on its own. However, turning off and reconnecting the controller seemed to fix the problem, also using the calibration method as well in the manual.The controller's battery life seems not so great, as it seems to die in one day. Although I played for long sessions throughout the day, the controller lasted only 5 to 7 hours at best before dying.
