Review on Nyko Mini Wireless Core Controller - Enhanced Compatibility with Switch, Lite, Android, PC - Ergonomic Design - Turbo Functionality - Ideal for All Gaming Enthusiasts - Nintendo Switch by Jamie Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Must be connected to USB to use on PC!

I should have read the description and reviews more carefully. I've seen pretty much a few reviews and customer questions asking if it can be used with a PC and the answers were yes. BUT I found out later that it needs to be connected via the included cable! Pity! I found out after opening the package and trying to play around with it. You can only use it wirelessly on PC while playing Steam games. You'll have to set it up as a Nintendo controller and the like, but it can mostly work wirelessly on a PC under certain conditions. I wanted a controller that could be used on Switch, PC and Android and was hoping this mini controller would work for me. The size is so tiny and I prefer it since I have small hands. Its layout is similar to an Xbox controller or Nintendo Pro controller, so it's familiar but tiny in shape. Basically I wanted to play a game on Steam on my PC that was in dire need of a controller and I was very disappointed to learn that you have to use the included cable to play PC games! I say included cable because my own USB-C is connected to the controller and the computer couldn't recognize the device. Fortunately, there was a workaround for the Steam Nintendo controller to make it wireless. But still, if I ever want to play a PC game with a non-Steam controller, that controller won't work for me. I'll leave it at that for now, but I'm still searching the market for a TRUE wireless PC controller.

Pros
  • Very good value for money
Cons
  • Obsolete model
