Review on Gamepad Defender X7, black by Mateusz Sowa ᠌

Revainrating 1 out of 5

I was cheated! Product does not correspond to the description at all.

Play with the toy for half an hour and throw away the money. Defender is a disgrace. With its positives being: At first, this object actually brought a smile to my face. All of the buttons are there and functional in this faithful reproduction of the XBox controller. Even the connection to the wifi network works perfectly! And there was something that I by no means anticipated: an adapter for mobile phones that could be hooked straight to the gamepad and that was fully compatible with Android. It was cool, I had some time to play, but then... Con: Right from the beginning, the right side of the gamepad was more restricted than the left side was. The bumper flew off without colliding with anything (its release cannot be felt at any point). And after using it for half an hour, the right trigger became utterly unusable. If taking it apart doesn't solve the problem, you've wasted your money. And more importantly, why should I bother rebuilding something after the pipeline has been installed? I was caught off guard by Defender's swift and severe hit to the back. The fact that so many capabilities have been built into the controller (such as wireless connectivity and support for a variety of input modalities), but the buttons themselves do not work, is an absolute scandal. . Okay, I'll just skip my review altogether. In spite of the drawbacks described above, the gamepad lasted me for six months, during which time I used it virtually every day. But let's start from the beginning. 1) As it turned out, the right trigger was not in the least bit missed, and as a result, it was securely jammed at the point where the hole made contact with the axle. After applying lemon oil to the axle in a thin, even layer, the problem was solved. To this day, pulling the trigger accomplishes its intended purpose without a hitch. 2) After a period of four months, the potentiometer that was located on the right stick started to get loose. At first, the deviation was 0.03, which is a problem that is very typical in everyday use and can be considered reasonable. A month later, though, the stick started to jam with a deviation of 0.5, and this immediately became an excellent excuse to cease playing shooters. 3) One month later, the same issue manifested itself on the left stick, but this time the divergence was immediately 0.34. 4) As if that weren't bad enough, the left stick completely disintegrated the following day and stopped returning to its starting position. This was the icing on the cake.
