Fantastic controller for multiple systems

Bought almost a year ago and I have to say it's worth every penny! One of the biggest advantages for me was that it runs on Android, Switch and Windows. At the moment it is about 90% used with an Android tablet. Pairing with Android Most emulators sync fairly well without much tweaking. On the Switch, the ABXY buttons are in the Xbox 360 position, which takes a bit of getting used to, but works great as a secondary controller. On Windows you can pair via BT, but something about how Windows handles drivers, I personally haven't had any luck with 3rd party BT controllers on Windows. But over USB the controller feels identical to the 360 controller and newer games will recognize it as such, so very little tweaking is required. I've also never experienced any lag with this device compared to, say, a PS4 controller. There's also a mouse emulation mode and an iOS mode, neither of which I used, the latter also required a jailbroken iPhone. Is it the smallest controller? No, but this thing almost fits on a 10 inch tablet. I know because I put a 10 inch surface in it. Is it comfortable for long gaming sessions? With that, of course, I managed to completely defeat Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask. The bottom line is, if you're looking for a truly versatile controller that can do almost anything, then this is the one for you.
